For this week’s shopping task housemates had to swim the Channel. No, they weren’t packed off to Dover, smeared in goose fat and pointed in the general direction of Calais, although that would probably have been pretty entertaining, they had to swim the 34 kilometre distance in the outdoor pool which divvied up to 7,500 lengths.
After a total of 20 hours and 20 minutes of swimming over two days they finally managed to pass the task in the tiny pool. The first they have managed to complete successfully.
Probably a good thing too since this particular task led to Chanelle having an almighty strop which began when Gerry jokingly said that Chanelle’s seven lengths in the pool might be because she was unfit and ended a long, long time later with the Posh Spice wannabe huffing, “It wasn’t funny. He made me feel like a fat whale.” Oops!
The task was also resposible for Charley having the mother of all bad hair days, “My extensions are sewn in. The hairdresser plaits the hair and then sews the hair in, yeah? Now the hair has gone all tangled into one big dreadlock… I can’t get it out. It’s gone all matted.” She had to cut them off in the end.
As Amanda had swum the furthest out of all her fellow housemates, clocking up a whopping 6.5km, Big Brother rewarded her by giving her the opportunity to choose every item on the shopping list herself! “How is that a reward?” the blonde moaned. “I feel I am being a little punished! I can’t add up – I don’t even know how to spell!”
