BB9: Day 77 - Michael Clashes With Rex Over Task

Michael has been outspoken since Day 1 in the Big Brother house and this week Rex rules as Head of House, annoying Michael in the process.

Throughout the Zombie Dance Task, Mikey and Rex clashed again and again. "Mikey stop being difficult," Rex instructed during the final rehearsal.

"I'm trying to familiarise myself with the room," said Mikey, "you're being a total arse"

Earlier today, tension flared as the housemates rehearsed in the garden.
Mikey wasn't sure how to perform Rex's verbal instructions for a dance move. "Rex, can I have a minute before I lose my rag with you?" asked Mikey.

"**** off," replied Rex, adding "you're being horrible mate."

"You're being a ******," said Mikey, referring to the kind of sportsman who would throw a caber.

"Mikey," said Rex, "if you're insulting to me and being rude to my girlfriend then why would I want to spend time with you?"

"You said I was stuck up," said Nicole. "I said it at six o'clock last night!" said Mikey.

"You're extremely childish. A thirty three year old man picking on a nineteen year old girl? *****," said Rex, using the scientifically correct word used to describe the male appendage.

BB9: Day 76 - Zombie Dance Task Revealed

This weeks Shopping Task was revealed by Big Brother - housemates must become zombies and learn Michael Jackson's zombie dance from his Thriller video.

After watching the original video, housemates were shown a demo of the dance they need to practice. A panel of dance experts will judge the final routine tomorrow afternoon.

Head of House Rex was told to choose someone to play the lead role as Michael Jackson and also found out he'll be choreographer, not a dancer. If they pass the Shopping Task then each housemate will have a budget of £5 per day, if they fail it is just £1 per day.

"This is the best music video ever" said a thrilled Rachel, copying the dance moves from her chair.

Then he proved he's not biased at all in the role by appointing his girlfriend, Nicole, to play Michael Jackson. That might not go down too well with the rest of the house but who can argue with Rex?!
