Housemates have started Day 17 with five of them still under their boxes - where they've been for more than 12 hours with only a short 10 minute break given to them just before midnight.

Craig quits
Less than an hour after the 10 minute break, and Craig has left his box, claiming that he "suffers from cloustrophobia"... Strange he claims that after being in the box for more than 12 hours, but there you go.

Housemates got a further short enforced break at around 7am, where Anthony, Craig, Derek and Makosi all stretched their legs and got to adjust their living space before getting back in the box for their next stint at the challenge.

And at just before 10am sleeping housemates were awoken by late-80's classic "Living in a Box" being played over the speaker system until they finally decided to get out of bed, although it looked like a few were enjoying hearing it so much that they wanted to hear it again and again.

They didn't however get treated to more than a few plays before Big Brother decided a more harsh alarm clock (sounding a bit like a fire bell) was used to try and raise the slumbering housemates from their beds - and no doubt annoy those doing the box task at the same time.

Big Brother calls an end to the task
With the "living in a box" task clearly lasting longer than Big Brother had been expecting, an end was called to the task at just before 3pm, with Anthony, Derek and Roberto all told to come out from under their boxes for health and safety reasons. They didn't believe it at first and thought it was a trick to get them out, but it wasn't. The task was over.

After being called to the Diary Room the three emerged revealing that they were all winners, but that they couldn't share the food with others or they'd simply lose the prize.

The task lasted around 27 hours, and Craig went on moaning about how it "lasted too long". But then he moaned almost non-stop both whilst doing the task, and after coming out of his box, and so it's little suprise he decided to whinge about it after the task had ended too. The prattling soppy wet fish.

Not everyone's impressed, mind...
Derek doesn't seem too impressed with the three-course meal that has been given to the winning housemates though. He's complained about nearly everything. The plates aren't hot, the dessert "looks like a dog's dinner", and they've put red wine in the fridge. Heavens above.

Apparently "these people have clearly never held a dinner party before" - refering to Big Brother and how badly they'd provided the meal. Roberto didn't seem too put off by it though, and Anthony was clearly happy to atleast have something to eat, with the promise of more to come from the fully stocked fridge.
