Big Wigs: Big Brother has given the housemates their first shopping task. On Wednesday night’s episode, the group splits into three groups to compete for Big Bro Ltd. to work
Angry: If they complete enough tasks to “work for the man” they win a luxury shopping budget, otherwise they only have the bare essentials to feed all sixteen of them
Most of the food is removed from the house as the “Big Wig” are provided with luxury meals while the “Bottoms” are provided with basic rations.
As the Big Wigs don giant wigs and bark orders, Yinrun exclaims about her costume, “When I put this on, I look more like a boss.”
However, Jordan is angry about the abandonment.
Matty tried to cheer up his pal by singing, “Every day is a good day when you’re a cog in the machine, when you work for the man.” Isn’t that true, Jordan?’
“No, it sure as hell isn’t,” Jordan snaps back. The duo are then seen bringing food to the Big Wigs as Jordan mutters, “Take that, that stupid royal task.”
On Tuesday night’s episode, fans praised Hallie for “educating” her housemates about transgender issues.
Hallie, 18, who is transgender, was asked about dating as a trans woman by her roommate Farida, 50.
Farida, who is from Wolverhampton, wanted to know what sexual orientation men who date trans women would consider themselves to be.
Chosen One: A teaser clip shows Yinrun, Trish and Henry learning that they have been chosen to be the “Big Wigs” who make all the important decisions
Power: As the Big Wigs put on giant wigs and give orders, Yinrun exclaims about her costume, “When I put this on, I look more like a boss.”
Not Happy: Chanelle is chosen as one of the “Bottoms” who “do whatever they’re told, whenever they’re told by whoever.”
Elation: 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 the man.”
Serving: Matty and Jordan are then seen bringing the food to the Big Wigs while Jordan mutters, “P*** take this stupid royal task.”
Speaking to Hallie, she asked: “Would you classify the men who are attracted to you as gay?”
Hallie looked a little unimpressed and said, “I’m a woman.”
Farida replied: “Yes, you are a woman, but you are a trans…”
“I don’t see her as gay,” Hallie said. “I see that they like a woman.” There are different types of sexuality.
“At the end of the day, I am a woman. If a man were to be with me and be gay, then that calls me a man, you know what I mean?’
Farida then asked, “But sexually, do you still have your male organs?”
Hallie replied, “Yeah, but I won’t have sex until I have my vagina.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

FROM: Scunthorpe
What are you most likely to be nominated for? “I’m argumentative and act like I don’t want to be there, even when I do in my heart.” Maybe they nominate me because I’m uninterested or because I don’t give everyone equal attention. You may feel left out, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’

OCCUPATION: Customer service representative
FROM: Harrogate
What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? “What I enjoy most is being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life.

CHANELLE
AGE: 29
PROFESSION: Dental therapist
FROM: Llanelli
What are you most likely to be nominated for? “Probably just because I’m annoying.” There’s this saying in Wales: “I’ll do it in a minute.” For example, if I were preparing food and left a dish next to it, I would have good intentions to wash it up, but I’d say, “I’ll do that in a minute,” and it might be three hours later before I do it. So probably for stupid things like that.’

PROFESSION: Food writer
FROM: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? “I think you would say that I am particularly outgoing and very talkative. I mean, I’ll be honest, my parents would definitely say I’m a bit of a snob, but I take that as a compliment. I think that means you have high standards and good taste. They would say I’m quite a strange child.’
Kerry
AGE: 40
OCCUPATION: NHS manager
FROM: Essex
Why did you apply to be a housemate on Big Brother? “I love the program. For me it is the ultimate reality TV show of all time. I suffer from multiple sclerosis and that’s why I’ve never applied because I always saw these huge stairs crashing into the house. It just felt a bit out of reach because I was in a wheelchair for the first three years of my illness. When I saw it come back and was looking for real people from all walks of life, I thought: This is my year.”
