Big Brother 6: Duck herding - it's quackers

Mark Richardson
19/ 7/2005

BIG Brother's dog show task took a new twist today when the dogs were asked to herd ducks.

The perplexed pooches were divided into pairs and then given two minutes to herd four ducks from one pen to another.

As Eugene quite rightly pointed out, it was exactly "like one man and his dog, with ducks."

The first duo Science and Eugene made a bit of a dog's dinner of the whole thing - there was much quacking and flailing arms - but succeeded in the end.

The second pair - Makosi and Anthony - made a much better job of it, despite Anthony becoming distracted by a gaping hole in Makosi's dog costume.

But as soon as their ducks were safely in the correct pen, Makosi started talking about food. Big Brother had better look after its feathered friends or there might be crispy duck on the menu in the house tonight.

Meanwhile Science had given his trainer Kemal the runaround all day and so Big Brother decided to punish him. Kemal was told to lock Science in the loft until further notice.

He was last seen whining and scratching at the door
