Housemates were suprised earlier today when a soldier abseiled in to the garden, and provided them with details of this week's task - the house is being turned in to a boot camp. Atttttteeeenntion!

Two of the housemates will get to lead the pack as Sergeant, enjoying all the privellages that the role provides them, whilst the remaining six will carry out assignments as lowly privates.

Trouble is, if the privates fail their assignments, the Sergeants will be put up for eviction - just ofcourse, this fact isn't being made clear to the privates who think they're just taking part in a normal task which will be to the benefit of everyone, leading up to a reward pass at the end of the task on Monday.

Michelle and Jason have taken the role of Sergeants, and get to sleep in a secret Sergeants' Mess bedroom which is next to the main bedroom, whilst the poor little privates get to sleep under itchy blankets in their normal beds.

Big Brigadier will wake the housemates each morning with the sound of a bugle, at which point they have five minutes to get in to full uniform, and take part in their morning drill, have their beds ready for inspection, and breakfast made for the Sergeants.

Quick March! To the potato assignment!
First assignment was to wash and peel 500 dirty potatoes in the garden, which they appeared to do in record time and well under the two hours that had been given to them to complete the task.

Other assignments will include press-up's, scrubbing 600 army boots in 2 hours, and sentry duty where Privates will take it in shifts to be on guard in the garden all night between 10pm and 6am.

The Eye thinks this task might be quite demanding on the poor little souls...
