Shievonne (AKA 'Mama Shiev') was convinced her that her precious babies *ahem, we mean fellow housemates* faced unimaginably cruel tasks.

The housemates grabbed the opportunity by the short and curlys and exhibited some rather impressive 'acting'. Of course the all-knowing Big Brother knew this wouldn't be enough and provided a professional SFX make-up artist to add detail to their individual plights, and a very adventurous wardrobe to kit them out.

They were not permitted to give specific details about their individual 'tasks', but could elude to how awful it was – and just act generally upset. Here's what happened to whom:

Ashleigh was gunged in pink paint.

Luke S was wrapped in gaffer tape (not a pretty sight).

Becky was tangled in fishing net and dead sea creatures (not as sexy as fishnet tights).

Deana was covered in eggs and feathers, earning her the new nickname 'Daffy Deana'.

Arron exploded (or was 'soot-ed'). We're not sure what the correct verb is for this ('To be exploded'?).

Scott was covered in mud and leaves. But his hair seems to have made it out okay, although a little bit faded.

Caroline put on freshly painted paintballing gear and a visor. A visor.

Housemates successfully worried Shievonne enough that she refused to enter the Diary Room when called in by Big Brother, for fear that she would be subjected to the horror of clowns. (We wonder if she had flashbacks of the No LOL task way back on Day 8!) They have therefore passed today’s task, and Big Brother will deliver a gourmet meal this evening as a reward. Well done everyone!
