Big Brother set the housemates the first shopping task.
Wednesday night’s episode saw the group split into three groups to work for Big Bro Ltd.
If they complete enough tasks ‘working for the man’, they will win the luxury shopping budget, otherwise they will only have the basic means to feed all sixteen of them.
The teaser clip shows Jinrun, Trish and Henry being told that they have been chosen as the ‘Big Wigs’ who make all the important decisions.
Kerry, Paul, Matty, Zak and Jordan make up the ‘middle management’ who run the company at ground level, while Jenkin, Dylan, Chanel, Noki, Farida, Olivia, Tom and Hallie are the ‘bottom’ who ‘do whatever they are’ said, whenever they are told whoever they are told.’
Big wigs: Big Brother set the housemates their first shopping task. Wednesday night’s episode saw the group split into three groups to work for Big Bro Ltd
Fuming: If they complete enough tasks ‘working for the man’, they will win a luxury shopping budget, otherwise they will only have basic means to feed all sixteen
Most of the food has been removed from the house as the Big Wiggs get fancy meals while the Bottoms will be on basic meals.
As the Bigwigs wear huge wigs and bark orders, Jinrun exclaims about her costume, ‘When I wear this, I’ll look more like a boss.’
Jordan was still angry about the task.
Matty tried to cheer his friend up, singing, “Every day’s a good day when you’re a cog in a machine, when you work for a man.” Isn’t that right Jordan?’
“No, it’s fucking not,” snaps Jordan. The duo are then seen bringing food to the Big Wigs, as Jordan mutters: ‘P*** take this stupid fucking task.’
In Tuesday night’s episode, Halle was praised by fans for ‘educating’ her housemates about trans issues.
Hali, 18, who is transgender, was asked by her friend Farida, 50, about dating as a trans woman.
Wolverhampton-born Farida wanted to know what sexual orientation men who date trans women would consider.

Power: As the Bigwigs wear huge wigs and bark orders, Jinrun exclaims about her costume, ‘When I wear this, I’ll look more like a boss’
Not happy: Chanel was chosen as one of the ‘underdogs’ who ‘do what they’re told, whenever they’re told, whoever they’re told’
Good mood: Matty tries to cheer everyone up by singing: ‘Every day is a good day when you’re a cog in the machine, when you work for a man’
Serving: Matty and Jordan are then seen bringing food to the Big Wigs, as Jordan mutters, ‘P*** take this stupid fucking task.’
Speaking to Hallie, she asked: ‘So you know men who are attracted to you, would they be classified as gay?’
Hallie, looking a little unimpressed, said, ‘I’m a woman.’
Farida replied: ‘Yes, you are a woman, but you are trans…’
“I don’t see them as gay,” Hallie said. “I can see they like the woman.” There are different types of sexuality.
“After all, I am a woman. If a guy were to be with me and be gay, that calls me a man, you know what I mean?’
Farida then asked: ‘But sexually, do you still have your male organs?’
Hallie replied: ‘Yes, but I won’t have sex until I get my vagina.’
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

I like doing something different and I think this is the next challenge I want to conquer. I want to show people what pageant girls are really like and disprove many stereotypes surrounding them.

WHAT PART OF THE EXPERIENCE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? “I’m most excited to be surrounded by so many people from different walks of life.” I don’t think I’ll ever live in a house with so many different people again. I’m from China and I think it will help me get more into British culture.’
CHANEL
AGE: 29
PROFESSION: Dental therapist
FROM THE: Llanelli
WHAT ARE YOU MOST NOMINATED FOR? “Probably just because I’m boring. In Wales we have this saying: “I’ll do it in a minute now.” So if I went to make food and left a dish on the side, I have every good intention of washing it, but I’d say, “I’ll do it now in a minute,” and it might be three hours later before I do it. Well, probably for such nonsense.’
ZAK

FROM THE: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? “I think they would say I’m particularly outgoing and very chatty.” I mean, to be honest, my parents would definitely say I’m a bit of a snob, but I take that as a compliment.

KERRY
AGE: 40
PROFESSION: NHS manager
FROM THE: Essex
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BE A BIG BROTHER HOUSEWIFE? ‘I like the program. To me, it’s the ultimate reality TV show ever. I have multiple sclerosis and the reason I never applied before is because I always saw those great big stairs to get into the house. It was a bit unachievable because I was in a wheelchair for the first three years of my illness. When I saw that he was coming back and looking for the right people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year.’
