There's that age old saying about if you gave a million typewriters to a million monkeys...

...and it probably works pretty well giving 3 typewriters to 6 housemates, who in their pairs have each had to write a story, a minimum of 500 words long, as the final part of their 3 day chained-together task.

To add a novel twist to it though, they had to type the entire story with each housemate from the pair typing one key at a time and not allowed to type more than one key after another - they've had to take it in turns. Ouch.

And they actually passed this week's task...
Remarkably they actually managed to pass this week's task, meaning they get double the shopping budget next week, and they were also given booze to celebrate their passing of the task.

Personal messages from friends and family were also played to the housemates on the plasma screen, as their "extra special personal reward".

There were however some notable minor failings during the task, with Day 1 seeing two housemates apply lip gloss to themselves whilst chained to their partner, which although not a major failing, was against the rules. Day 2 was, amazingly enough, totally faultless.

But it was the third and final day where thing went back downhill, with two of the three pairs not typing enough words on the typewriter challenge - one pair only managed 233 words, whilst another 425 words - just 75 short of a pass.
