Viva Las Vegas task revealed

Housemates were told today that they are to experience the glitz and glamour of the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas.

The group heard from Head of House Mohamed that they must master a number of skills to be performed in a Viva Las Vegas variety show tonight.

Should the act satisfy Big Brother, they group will receive a luxury shopping budget.

Reading from a laminate, Mo said he needed an illusionist and his or her glamorous assistant, two croupiers to perform with cards, an escapologist, and two housemates to take on the roles of Elton John and Kiki Dee.

Mo said he had to assist the escapologist and that he had five minutes to allocate roles to his fellow housemates.

The first decision made was that Darnell and Mikey would perform 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' as Elton John and Kiki Dee. Rex volunteered to be the escapologist, while Kat and Sara were considered perfect for the post of the illusionist and glamorous assistant.

Lisa and Rachel were assigned the duties of the casino croupiers.

"I'm so excited," said Kat, while Mo warned that housemates were not to touch the slot machines.
