Housemates have been set a ghost train challenge, which if they complete it sucessfully, will see them rewarded with a party.

After being locked in the bedroom for well over two hours, giving the housemates plenty of time to get ready, the housemates still took around 15 minutes to prepare themselves for the task, repositioning their microphones and re-positioning their ghoulish oufits...

...once it got going however it was some of the funniest Big Brother viewing you'll have seen yet, with Jeremy shouting out orders to the blindfolded Ghost Train driver, with the first attempt being Bez.

And at one point you'd be forgiven for thinking Bez didn't understand the difference between left and right as he popped baloon after baloon on the ground - they wern't ment to be popped but it was totally un-avoidable.

It was all going pretty well though, up until John's go, when he got in to the Ghost Train and looked nervous as hell, with his left hand wobbling about in the air instead of on the controls and his head bobbing about comically every time the train moved in any direction...

...until all of a sudden it just broke down, without him even getting anywhere near the first "bridge" where baloons hung down full of ice water and gunk.

Infact, John had a breakdown in more ways than one (watch the video!)

Did they pass or did John blow it?
It wasn't clear if the group had passed or failed with the Ghost Train breaking down - the housemates certainly hadn't completed the challenge because John hadn't completed the course, but with no way of doing so it seemed certain that his attempt would have to be accepted by Big Brother.

Fortunately Big Bro appears to have had a good heart tonight, and the housemates are now enjoying German Beer in some fairly shocking costumes (of which John had great trouble hauling himself in to the stretchy black shorts) and having impromptu burping contests whilst dancing away around the living area near the sofas.

The Eye will have more about the challenge, as it happens...
