Housemates pass USA Day task

The group has secured a luxury shopping budget after passing the USA Day task.

Big Brother announced to housemates in the living area that everyone passed their challenges with the exception of Ulrika and Terry, who failed their pie-eating contest.

The task, arranged to coincide with the inauguration of Barack Obama, also included a Route 66 road trip, a Bucking Bronco test and a baseball hero challenge.

Housemates also received a special prize of American beer and a burger dinner after Tommy secured two home runs in his sporting event.
