HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD

From the left: DALE, LUKE, DARNELL

For the first time ever, BB decided that there would be a Head of Household. BB asked that 3 hms put themselves forward to compete in an election to find the Head of House. The Head of House would have numerous responsibilities including: the day to day running of the house, doing the weekly shopping list, how and when to use the tokens, and make decisions regarding any tasks BB would set during their week in power. The elected hm would also be exempt from nomination this week but will be able to nominate.

Darnell, Mo, Dale, Luke, and Lisa stood up. Mo changed his mind and sat down, later saying it might end up putting him in bad favour with his fellow hms. After a show of hands for each hm, Lisa too withdrew, leaving Dale, Darnell and Luke to stand for election.

BB supplied the candidates with suits, shirts & ties and colour sashes and rosettes to campaign in true political style. Each had to stand on their podium and tell the assembled hms what their manifesto was. Dale was his usual slightly dozy self, depending on his pretty boy looks, Luke was marginally funny with some of his suggestions and Darnell shone ~ he wouldn't look out of place in the US elections.

After some campaigning, the hms gathered to discuss each candidate and then secret voting took place. Dale, Darnell and Luke could also vote and indeed were allowed to vote for themselves. Dale voted for Dale, Darnell voted for Dale, Luke voted for Darnell. The votes were counted and the results were:

Luke ~ 2 votes

Dale ~ 3 votes

Darnell ~ 9 votes

And so Darnell was elected first ever Head of House. Much to my joy!
