Gorilla task for Darnell's position

2:58pm Sunday 20th July 2008

Housemates will fight it out to become Darnell's successor as head of the Big Brother house.

Big Brother will ask contestants to choose three people to compete for the position. Those selected will then have to wear gorilla costumes and hang from tyres in the garden.

The housemate who can hang on to their tyre for the longest will be crowned head of house.

Big Brother will disqualify any "gorilla" who touches the floor, the swing or another contestant during the task. They will only be allowed to eat bananas.

News that Darnell is no longer head of house will come as a relief to some housemates. "The guy's power mad," Mikey said.

Darnell, however, is not happy about having to give back his title. After Big Brother told him of the news he moaned to housemates that he was not eligible to stand for the position again. "No, I can't participate. It sucks dude. It's ridiculous" he said.

On Friday night 44-year-old Belinda Harris-Reid became the fifth housemate to be evicted with 65% of the vote.

The remaining housemates became unsettled when they heard booing as Belinda was greeted by the public.

"Unless you're in the final five you'll get booed," Lisa said.
