Bigbrother all stars Day 2 (July 20, 2010): Housemates Relishing Their First Task

Day 2 broke with a slow start for the majority of the contestants who refused to be roused by the energetic house music and loud sirens that greeted the new day. Munya and Tatiana were the first to emerge from their beds and made up for their housemates’ lack of energy by kicking off the day with a vigorous exercise session, stretching, squatting and jumping while the others snored.

Tatiana followed Munya’s lead as he started his morning sit-ups. After a solid half hour of energetic exercise, they did a double high-five and declared themselves ready to face the day. Meryl has been spreading some love in the house already, first giving Sammi a sexy dance display and then spending some quality time with Munya.

First, Sammi dropped his blindfold and discovered Meryl dancing right in front of him – and he was only too happy to go with it! Yacob, Hannington, Munya, Uti and Code were evidently envious and encouraged her – almost as much as Tatiana, who was also spurring Meryl on from the side-lines. Is this part of the ladies’ strategy? Meryl then turned her attention to Munya, who also seems happy to play along.

Despite all his talk about being more mature and more focused this season, Munya seems to have fallen for Meryl’s seductive moves – even though she’s already declared an interest in Hannington and Uti as well! Munya and Meryl have been sharing quite a bit of quality time lately, also giving each other back rubs.

Sheila took some time to give Hannington and Uti a “Conspiracy 101” lecture, advising them that without being allowed to conspire directly, the subtlest hint would have to do. She told them that their best option was to "walk past someone casually and drop the seed...".

The housemates received their first weekly task this morning – and they’re guaranteed an exciting week ahead, especially since they’ve staked 100% of their Gold Stars (budget for the week) on their success! The housemates were given a combined 490 Gold Stars this week, which they will use to shop – but should they fail to impress Big Brother during their task, they risk losing it all. They have been tasked with making mosaics of their country's flag and preparing a two-minute speech about their homeland, which they will present on Thursday night.
