CHs Become Chopper Pilots

November 12, 2007 1:18 PM

Still on cloud-nine after their successful Housemates For Inmates: Celebrity Concert For A Cause, our celebrity housemates will once again brave another challenging task for this week. This time around, all of them will have to take a crash-course in becoming chopper pilots! Big Brother relayed to Ruben the instructions for their "Lipad Chopper Lipad" weekly task. Ruben then gathered all the housemates to talk about the task and how much of their budget are they going to bet for this week.

The housemates only have until Friday to learn how to fly a radio-controlled toy chopper and land it on a specific location. Kuya provided the chopper toys, and all that the HMs need to do is to follow the instruction manual in learning how to operate the gadget. If seven of them successfully manuever the toy chopper to the right direction, they will pass their weekly task. But it seems that dealing with a mechanical toy is a bigger challenge compared to staying awake for a week and putting up an extravagant concert, because the housemates all agreed to setttle only for a 75% bet. Everyone considered the possibility of errors and difficulty in familiarizing themselves with the controls of the toy, so they decided not to gamble everything.

When Ruben took out the RC toy choppers from the storage room, all the boys went crazy, excited to get their hands on the cool kiddie toy. On the other hand, the girls don't seem to get what's the fuss about the hovering, battery-charged toy. They just allowed the boys to study the toy and later teach them how to go about it. Then on Big Brother's signal, the boys and Mommy Yayo head straight to the activity area to fly the chopper.

But in spite of the instructional manual, starting up the toy took much of their time, let alone keeping it in air. After a series of tries, however, the housemates got the hang maneuvering the RC chopper, and Mommy Yayo joined in with the boys. But will all of them, especially the other girls, get to master the toy in time for Friday's final challenge? Keep it here to read more updates on the HMs new weekly task.
