In what appears to be an attempt to keep boredom levels down, Big Brother called the housemates to the Sofa this afternoon, and told them they'd be playing a game of "Big Brother Says..."

A matter of moments later Big Brother asked the housemates to stand like a teapot, followed by pulling a funny face... but within a few minutes the game seemed over. It's not clear if Big Brother might bark out further orders during the rest of the afternoon or if the boredom-reliving game became boring within minutes of starting.

It's certainly not improved things for TV viewers though, who are now experiencing a whole week of the housemates having NO BOOZE, and because of that very little conflict, very little drunken-style behaviour, and lots of bored looking people. Fun TV it does not make.

And it'd appear that the reward for taking part in the Big Brother Says game, was a hamper... full of... beauty products for the pamper room. How dissapointing.
