Did Big Brother Make The Secret Mission Clear?

Fans have moaned that Big Brother didn't properly explain the secret task to newbie housemate Hira last night, so here's what was said in the Diary Room:

BB: "You must listen very carefully to what Big Brother is about to say..."

BB: "Earlier tonight, you, Bea, David, Kenneth and Tom became housemates, that's the good news. The bad news is that you and all the new housemates face eviction next Friday. Do you understand?"

H: "Yeah."

BB: "The only way you can save yourself is if all five of you complete a joint secret mission. In front of you is a box containing 8 balls; each ball corresponds to one of the current original housemates. In a moment, Big Brother will ask you to draw two balls from the box."

BB: "The two housemates who's names are on the ball you pull out, must be nominated for eviction next week. If you ensure that they are nominated, you and all the new housemates will avoid the public vote. Do you understand?"

Hira then asked Big Brother to repeat the last line.

BB: "To clarify: if you ensure that the housemates who's names you pull-out are nominated for eviction, they will face the public vote instead of you".

After the balls had been chosen, Big Bro said: "Hira, you have selected Halfwit and Noirin. Your joint mission with your fellow new housemates is to ensure that Halfwit and Noirin are nominated for eviction next week. How you do this, is up to you."

Hira was confused, and Big Brother re-iterated that she must tell her fellow newbies about the secret mission, but not reveal it to any of the original housemates.

On reflection, Big Brother Online agrees that it wasn't entirely clear, because if you look at Big Bro's actual words, it sounds like the task will be passed as long as Freddie and Noirin get nominated. In other words, as long as they receive at least one nomination each.

However, we can confirm that's not the case, and have explained what Big Brother actually meant to say here. Channel 4 have also clarified the point today, telling us: "In order to pass, the new housemates must ensure that Freddie and Noirin receive enough nominations to put them up for eviction".

So, Big Bruv was being a bit sloppy, but we'll give the ageing entity the benefit of the doubt, seeing as it was celebrating its Birthday and was possibly a bit tipsy!
