Marios' blast
 

Mario became upset with David and John James as they continued to mock the people who did not volunteer during Andrew's 'Jack Bauer' task.

When Andrew requested five people to stand up and volunteer to potentially leave the house, Mario stayed on the ground along with Ben and most of the newest arrivals. David and John James then spent the afternoon mocking Ben for his failure to volunteer.

After saying that Ben would "grow some stones one day", David and John James laughed at the broadcaster and said that it was his flawed nature that had led him not to volunteer. Mario sat listening to their ridicule, and said: "I didn't stand up either you know."

Despite Ben being the main focus of their scorn, Mario became increasingly annoyed by the conversation. David announced: "There's people who stand and people who lie. People who can talk the talk and those who can walk the walk." Mario sarcastically responded: "Well done Dave, you stood up, good for you. There's a plate of milk and cookies for you to celebrate."

The 28-year-old aspiring fashion designer then left the bedroom to visit the Diary Room, and vented his frustrations to Jo. "They're going around with smug grins on their faces because they stood up and other people lay down," Mario blasted. "I've put up with it for half an hour and I can't listen to it any more."

"Don't let that bother you," Jo said as she tried to comfort him. "Don't let them twist your head. That's what this programme does. And anyway, none of us know what's going to happen. I don't think anyone is going to leave.

"You know what's true in your heart, you know what happened, just let them get on with it." As Corin joined the conversation, she agreed with Jo and said: "Don't even worry about it."

In an attempt to cheer Mario up, Corin attempted to get him to do a leapfrog over her back, which he declined for several minutes. When he eventually agreed, she said: "Eee, do you know how to do them, I'm scared?" The two laughed as Mario half-heartedly swung his legs over her as she crouched, and hugged as he entered the Diary Room. "Don't worry about anything," she told him as he left.
