And in better news…
Another great task on Big Brother – getting the housemates/participants/idiots to stand on small podiums.
That's it.
They don't know it, but the person who stays on for longest gets immunity from eviction. But I can help thinking that alternative 'tasks' might make for better television.
- Strap all the remaining housemates to a particular device used for killing. We're talking electric chairs, hanging, lethal injection, death by water torture. Housemates have to come to a consensus over which housemate should suffer their impending fate, based on how much they hate each other and who's got the most painful method of extermination.
- Starvation. Whichever housemate is first to be eaten by the others wins the series. Have to hope they kept them alive and just ate a finger though.
- Toilet bowls contain acid, not water. Don't tell them.
- Walls of house move inwards, eventually trapping them in a smaller and smaller space. Only way to avoid certain death is promising never to release a fitness video.
As you can see, there is a certain amount of pain involved in some of these tasks. But they would 1) be justified 2) dissuade people from applying to go in the house 3) make great telly
They should turn the house into camp x–ray. Dress 'em in orange jump suits, blind fold them, leave them out in the sun and scrap evictions– they just stay there forever. Then see who's the first to end it all.

Hehe, I've not been following it but that very task is right of out Survivor, where the person who remains standing the longest gets immunity.
Of course, there it ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE, as they're tired, hungry and sleep deprived…
