Housemates play game show to win food

Food became the focal point of the latest Big Brother task tonight as housemates began playing a “game show” for their right to a £500 (€730) dream shopping list.

The 11 remaining contestants will be set a series of challenges over the next couple of days as part of the game show, which has been called Meal or No Meal.

Each challenge, or round, will involve the housemates attempting to win a different section of the £500 list, which was created yesterday.

But, if they fail the task, all they will be left with is basic food rations for the week.

George and Sezer volunteered for the first round of the game show, which also requires all housemates to wear laminated name badges and complete the show’s catchphrase – Big Brother will get back to you – when they hear BB say the first three words of it.

In the first round – named Who Are You? – primary school children were shown on a plasma screen describing various housemates.

The pair correctly guessed who was being described by each child and won the confectionery and soft drinks section of the shopping list.

Last night, Bonnie became the first person to be voted out of the house.

The 20-year-old from Loughborough, Leicestershire, was the third contestant to leave the seventh series of the reality TV show, after a tempestuous first week saw Shahbaz walk out and Dawn ejected for breaking the rules.

In the public vote, Bonnie – who was up against 18-year-old sixth-form head boy Glyn – received a massive 78% of the votes cast.

Of her time in the house, she said in an interview afterwards: “I used to sit there just bored out of my brains.”

The part-time care worker, who works with people who have Downs Syndrome, had been the bookies’ favourite to leave the house after she failed to make an impact.
