Not A Very Hair-Raising Task

This week's task is a bit bland. While it gets them to play characters and get involved in conversations with HMs they don't usually associate with, it is very light on coverage-- they aren't actually doing much for very long. Normally the task can give the HMs something to do rather than sleep if they are bored, e.g. practising their dance moves, fielding the cricket pitch, playing with the dog, etc. But for a rainy week, they are very understimulated by this task.

And what is the point? They cut and style a wig on someone's head. Not that interesting. The radio ad played it up like they were really giving each other haircuts and had all the dramatic music and stuff, but it really is very lame.

The only real purpose for doing this task is to promote the Adam Sandler movie where he plays an ex-terrorist hair dresser, You Don't Mess With the Zohan.

Apparently the winner of FNL will get to choose a small group of HMs to watch an advance screening of the movie in the House. I'm sure they'll get hours of footage from watching a few HMs sitting on a sofa, not talking, but just watching a screen. I'm sure there'll be shots of them laughing and having a great time put into the Daily Show so the advertisers get what they paid for.
