Prepare for Battle!



Many struggles and internal battles have been faced by the housemates during their stay. And with this in mind, the final installment of their weekly task featured not only a battle, but a full-fledged epic war!

After their dance marathon, Dionne was called into the confession room. Everyone expected a weekly task when she came out; but no one expected it to be this big! Entitled ‘Amazons versus Vikings’, the housemates were tasked to re-enact a war between these two warrior civilizations. The premise would be similar to the popular war game ‘Capture the Flag’ where their primary goal was to safely steal the opposing team’s flag and bring it back to base. Those who would get caught will be placed in a cage (Viking territory) or tied spread-eagle (Amazon territory), but can be saved with a full-on frontal attack!

They were also provided costumes for the task, but the housemates, who thought that the team would be based on gender, were dead wrong. They instead chose a paper at random from a bowl Dionne provided, and had to don the proud armor (or brassieres) of their proud race! And the teams were as follows. Mickey, Nel, Saicy, Bea and Dionne round up the Amazon side, while the Vikings are comprised of Bodie, Robert, Maricris, Wendy and Gee-Ann.

They also had to make their own war cry, and Nel provided theirs with a loud, high-pitched shriek that would make any Viking rattle in fear! Big Brother finally explained that this would earn them 60 gold coins, but the task today would only be the first part; the activity that will determine if they acquire the coins will be announced later.

So the housemates, after procuring their costumes from the storage room, are currently putting them on for the task. Will this be a battle for the ages, a clash of two warring cultures, or a rowdy parade of cross-dressing housemates? The battle lines are drawn!
