ITV Big Brother fans have shared their frustrations as the housemates failed the “easiest task” in the show’s history.
Tonight’s instalment (October 23) saw the Big Brother house being transformed into an airport for this week’s shopping task. Housemates were asked to check in as passengers and crew onboard the British Eyeways Flight BB2025.
Big Brother said: “Passengers, your destination is a luxury shopping budget but only if you can successfully complete your journey and that might not be as easy as it sounds. Every rule break will extend your flight time meaning a short smooth trip could quickly become a long-haul nightmare.”

Cameron and Feyisola took on the roles of pilot and co-pilot, with Jenny and Sam cabin crew and the remaining housemates as passengers,. Caroline, Richard and Zelah were on a stag do, Farida and Nancy were typical tourists, Elsa and Emily as returning backpackers on their gap year, Tate and Teja were business travellers and Marcus was a single dad.
However, after breaking the rules several times, the flight became longer and longer. With the housemates having to wait over four hours on the flight, they soon gave up.
As a result, Big Brother told the housemates they had failed the task and would be living on basic rations. Taking to X, fans were unimpressed as one person said: “The easiest task in the history of the show and they gave up.”
Another wrote: “Well we all saw it coming… they FAILED the shopping task and now it’s basic rations for the lot of them. Hunger games incoming!”

A third added: “The easiest task in the history of the show.”
A fourth replied: “Sorry but if I was any of their employers I would be thinking a lot differently about some of them, they couldn’t follow some easy rules for 2 hours??? Actually childish imo.”
Another said: “I’d be fuming if i were in there following the task. all they had to do was f**k all and they still failed.”
One person echoed: “Basic rations!!”
As part of the shopping task, rules included not eating food that was not assigned to them as well as baggage being kept with housemates at all times. Housemates were also told to stay seated within the plane when the seatbelt sign was on.
They were then asked to guess when they were ready to land, without looking at the time. However, after over two hours, they gave up their task.
With the housemates gearing up for basic rations, many fans are wondering just what this will mean for those in the Big Brother house.
