Housemates turn Herculean
|
Four of Big Brother’s contestants were each set a task to complete last night, to prove their mettle to the other housemates and the public at large.
Wolverine lookalike Marcus was tasked with being the Strongest Housemate, and was made to put his claws to work by ripping a phone book in half. He unleashed his inner beast and pulled it off with flying colours, winning some alcohol for the house.
Misguided upper-class fool Halfwit was put forward as the Most Intelligent Housemate. Fronted with a single question: “Which philosopher famously said:' I think, therefore I am'?”, he pulled the answer out of his ridiculous hat by correctly answering “Descartes”, and the house was given some cakes for his general knowledge prowess.
Most Musical Housemate Angel was given three attempts to play ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ on a keyboard and flunked all three, winning nothing.
It was Lisa who shown the most spirited will during the tasks. Picked as Most Patient Housemate, she was asked to sit still on a chair plonked in the garden until “further notice”. Two hours and 15 minutes went by before Big Brother called her into the diary room and informed her she’d passed, and was promptly given a stash of chocolates, sweets, crisps and doughnuts. Which she was well pleased about.
When it later transpired she was gagging for the loo, she bravely stated: “I would have just wet myself in my jeans. I would have. They’re not breaking me.”
Good girl, Lisa – sounds like you’re exactly what Big Brother is looking for…
