Big Brother producers latest live task has seemingly blown up in their faces…. or has it?

We’d all been lulled into this sense of false security that the bars would be coming down.
The task was surprisingly difficult though and most housemates ended up on the poor side. Then poor muppetesque Kate, alone in the diary room with no puppeteer to operate her, blew it big style failing to name the housemates in alphabetical order by leaving out her best bud Alison.

On the face of it this would seem to be a disaster. That was the general opinion in the pub I was in on Saturday night. Our battle of the sexes darts match was rudely interrupted just after 10.30pm as I imparted the shock news to my startled pals via the DSBB WAP site. Everyone thought it was terrible, but everyone was talking about it.

What TV producers are always looking for are water cooler moments and this week’s task has certainly provided probably the biggest one of those since Sandy’s daring climb back to reality.

The week ahead is interesting but will it prove entertaining? That is the key question. I confess that last week’s Sophie bitchfest was thoroughly unentertaining in my view and were I not working for this website, I may have given up watching by now.

This apparent task debacle has actually heightened my interest, in as much as I truly believe that a revolt is on the cards despite stick in the mud Adele and a three strike eviction is all the more imminent

So you may think the weekly task has gone massively pear-shaped but let’s face it, it’s certainly sparked those ratings raising discussions.
