Updated: A super task!

The housemates are becoming superheroes for this week's task.

Each of the nine will have to create a superhero character today, choosing:

• a name
• a costume
• an archenemy
• a motto
• a special power
• a superhero pose
• a theme tune

At various points during the week -- each day between 7am and midnight -- superheroes will individually be called to action by means of their motto being played over the speakers. They will then have three minutes to change into their costume, move to the plinth and strike their superhero pose.

The housemate will then have to run around the house touching each of the cardboard cutouts of the nine arch-enemies within a five minute period. Over the course of the week they will be allowed only one failure.

"That's an infinitely doable task compared to last week," said Fed, suggesting they bet 100% on it. Ray then went for 100%, as did Nush, Scott and Jobn.

"That's too much," said Steph. "It's too presumptious."

Looking for a compromise, Scott tried to ascertain how much of a budget they would need to get the basic supplies.

The more conservative housemates put their thoughts on the line. Tania went for 80%, Steph 70% and Cam 65%.

Trying to make things fair, Jon took the average of everyone's suggestions, saying it was around 87%.

"I'm inclined to think that if they're giving us a chance to do one thing wrong then it must be harder than it sounds," continued Steph.

In the end they settled for 85%.

After spending the afternoon preparing their costumes and arch-enemies - which were then placed at specific points around the house - Cameron was first to become a superhero just before 9.30pm.

Both he and Tania sucessfully completed the procedures of the task within the allotted time, but Fed failed to make it to the podium within the three minute period after struggling to put his costume on; the housemates now cannot have any more failures.
