In the Dog House

The "puppy" that was coming into the House turned out to be a case of chinese whispers. The task was revealed early this morning and HMs were sent outside with nothing but the clothes on their backs to climb inside a completely enclosed dog kennel. The kennel is not allowed to be lifted off the ground and HMs may not put any part of their body outside the kennel. The last HM standing (or crouching) has been promised a fabulous prize never before offered in Australia Big Brother.

The prize may be immunity from eviction for the week. Or maybe a cash prize (I don't think individual cash prizes for tasks have been offered before.)

Nobbi was first to crack after only seconds inside his box. He claims he could just not be bothered with it and didn't care what the prize was. Rory was disqualified next because he lifted his kennel off the ground while moving around. When BB tempted the HMs outside the kennels with food, Dixie flew out of her box to stuff her face. Terri was spotted by BB underneath the kennel and was disqualified next.

The pranks broke out next with the disqualified HMs trying to coax their confined friends out by putting watter, spaghetti, prawns, and barbecue sauce into the kennels. By this stage, a few HMs felt the call of nature, and Travis, Ben, and Renee all perched their kennels above the drains in the grass outside to pee.

Renee lasted until 4pm. Bianca quit when she sat on tomato sauce. Travis was disqualified for lifting kis kennel off the ground. When Alice said she would poo her pants before leaving the dog house, Brigitte decided it was too much and left her kennel 3rd last.

Ben and Alice are still crouched inside their houses refusing to be tempted out. Who will win? And what will the prize be? And is there a further twist to the task that will see them through the rest of the week?

The task has been funny to watch on the stream, cameras focussing on the kennel of the HM talking as if it was their face. The kennels walking around by themselves are hilarious. You can just imagine the HM cramped inside. X-ray vision would be a great trick for BB to pull with this task so we could see inside the boxes.

Surely Alice and Ben are getting hungry by now. I will tip Alice to win.
