King Christian
Posted by Dan Curley
Today Head of House Terry Christian gets promoted even further up the food chain: he’s now King For The Day.
Not unlike the Masters and Servants task of previous Big Brothers, this all about leadership – with a bit of domination thrown in for good measure.
Terry, dressed in typical king’s clobber of crown and robe, cannot do a single thing for himself or the rules of the game are broken. Not only do the other housemates have to feed him and open doors for him, they have to carry him about, wipe his backside and even bathe him.
After being given his brief, Terry walked out of the diary room and bellowed to his tiny kingdom: "If you all want to have a party later on, this is your task. I'm not going to be asking you to kiss my ring – well, not just yet anyway."
To which gobby Tina Malone replied: "I so gratefully would!"
Terry then reads out the rules of the task: "You'll be called into the Diary Room to be given certain instructions through the day. Everything must be obeyed.” The presumed anti-royalist continued: “There's part of me politically that feels a complete sham, but if I was going to be honest with you – it's f***ing great!"
In the live preview shown this afternoon on E4 we watched as Michelle fed Terry grapes while Verne taxied him around the house on the back of his Mini-Me-mobile. Hopefully in tonight’s show we’ll see Terry lying on his stomach while Verne gives him a massage by running up and down his back.
If they put in enough of an effort and don’t get stroppy about being turned into slaves for the day, the whole house will be given a party as a reward. Expect the most disloyal charge to get nominated, and according to unconfirmed reports, Davina will be entering the house to give the contestants a surprise.
