Only half the House can win food this week, and the Food Competition is a challenging one.
The HouseGuests split into two teams: Jun, Justin, Nathan and Jack on the blue team, Dana, Jee, Erika and Robert on the red team. "Laying Pipe" is a challenge in which the two teams race to see who can lay pipes the fastest. Dressed in plumber overalls, the team members must work together to connect pipes and joints to go through a set course, routing water from the source to the finish line. The object is to route the water to a waiting rubber duckie, which will then float and cross over the finish line. The challenge seems easy at first, but a few minutes into it, Ali opens up the flood gates and water starts pouring out of the pipes, soaking the HouseGuests and making the pipe assembly even more difficult. After some admirable teamwork, the blue team is the first to float their duck across the finish line, leaving Dana, Jee, Erika and Robert to pout over PB&J for the next week.

Because Ali is HoH, does this mean she can eat normal food with the winners? as she didnt participate!!

What a cool task! Why can't our BB be as imaginative as the American one??

And yep Ali gets to eat the same food as the winners. Their HoH actually means something there unlike when we had it here. All they could make Ray do was nominate in private, get him to choose music and delegate tasks.

I wonder if the fact that Nate and Justin "Laid Pipe" so well together will add fuel to the "Nate is gay" threads.

Quoth Jerry Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything WRONG with that."

Endemol USA has a huge team dedicated to coming up with absurd tasks, mostly for "Fear Factor" where contestants have to do stuff like climb a rope being pulled by a helicopter, eat boiled moose willy (Bull Winkle?), and stand in a room full of tear gas as long as possible (and those are some of the tamer ones).

A fair amount of the BB stuff I imagine they salvage from their discard pile and tweak them to be team tasks.

Who picked the teams? They seemed a bit unfair to me - one the one team there was only Jee who had a slightest clue what he was doing.
