There was a time when the weekly task lasted several days, and was just that - the task. This year though it seems Big Brother can't make a task last more than a few hours, and instead of splitting things up in to lots of mini-events.

So today housemates were a bit suprised (and dissapointed) to find that the stage had been removed from the garden. At just after 2pm they were called to the sofa's and Dan read a laminate from Big Brother, informing them of the 2nd part of the task...

...to each write a poem about one housemate, and something which they have learnt about them since they've been in the house.

They'll then get to perform the poem to the rest of the housemates later today.

Bit dull compared with some tasks, isn't it? What ever happened to the idea of waking them up at random times of the night to be on the stage rocking away like nutters? Even the fast food task ment they were providing some form of entertainment right around the clock, but this is just a small aside out of their day to sit there scribbing away on blackboards, before realising they can't think what else to write, and going back to what they were doing before - moaping around bored.
