American housemates get Brit-themed task
Published Sunday, Jan 11 2009, 19:44 GMT | By Polly Taylor
The group have been given a "Best of British" quiz task, with the promise of three tokens if they pass.
American housemates Coolio, La Toya and Verne were given just two hours to learn as much as possible about British culture under the subject headings of 'British heroes', 'cockney rhyming slang', 'British place names' and 'the Queen's English'.
Throughout the two hour tutorial period, Big Brother delivered various British delicacies to the house for the trio to sample, including fish & chips and jellied eels.
The American housemates will later be questioned about what they have learned. If they answer 30 or more questions correctly between them, the group will be awarded with three tokens.
