Great Expectations
 

John James has expressed his anger about having to spend a day in the task room in order to pass his part of this week's shopping task.

The Australian and Rachel must spend 24 hours in a room resembling Miss Havisham's dining room from the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations and are required to sleep in a chair overnight. They are not allowed to have visitors unless Big Brother tells them they may.

Both housemates seemed to believe they will be evicted this week and were unhappy about losing one of their remaining days left in the house. "What's the point of spending your last three days in the Big Brother house in here?" John James asked Rachel. "When I sit upright for that long, my back will start to hurt after a while."

Rachel wanted to stay in the room as long as possible to at least give it a go, but confessed: "I don't think there's any way I can stay in here for 24 hours."

John James said: "There's no point staying in here at all; there's no chance we can do this. I'm leaving right now."

John James made for the exit but said that he felt bad for Rachel as she would be on her own. He left the room to ask Big Brother whether she would fail the task automatically if he quit. When he was told this was the case, he returned to the task room to figure out what their next plan was.

"I think it's really generous doing this because you've given a whole day of your life away just so the rest can have some food," said Rachel. John James disagreed, asking her: "Are you suggesting we sit here for half an hour while they sit out there on comfy sofas?"

Despite his complaints, John James decided to remain in the task room, but is still adamant that he and Rachel will fail the task.

its a stupid task anyways its boring watching them just sit in the room on the chair! BB should at least give them something to do!

I think it's great watching John James when he's pissed off.

This shows how sincere Rachel is, opposed to JJ who only cares about himself and maybe Josie (when the cameras are watching). GET JOHN JAMES OUT!!!

JJ should do it for his "beloved" Josie - after all if he goes on Friday she will need to do a hell of a lot of comfort eating, and they're going to need a big food budget for that.

Well done BB for putting him in this task, now the viewers can see what a selfish twat he is and get him out friday.

Isn't it JJ2 that's doing the task?

Moan Moan Moan.

Do you part of the task, you moaned at Ben for not doing his all the time!

Ben wouldn't have even stuck it out as long as John James, the proof is in the pudding/doing.

Ben nommed Rachel last week and complained to her face that she was too loud and irritating.
#
so you Mr Ben fan, are a hypocrite.

John James is not.

John James aprehension is understandable, and should be especially so to Ben & Ben fans

You don't know what Ben would have done,my guess is he'de have loved this,nothing to do but sit and chat all day,Rachael IS loud and irritating,so how on earth does that make Ben a hypocrite?

He never changes he's incapable. He would have done the same as with all the other tasks that didn't suit him. He would have quit and you know it.

John James hasn't actually quit has he.

Wasnt Big Mo in Great Expectations?

Fizzy speaks wisely

This is the man who constantly accused Ben of not trying in tasks. Ben only refused the exercise task and that was not about food.

Love you fizzy.... with you all the way.JJ haters...such a grumpy miserable lot!!!

\only because they agree with you,imo Fizzy talks rubbish,but they are only young.

no

and delete your ben avatar

it is over

I will delete nothing ,Ben was part of BB10 and always will be the best housemate,so tough titty:dance:

I did coursework on this book for English Lit. :love:

I'm far from Gumpy and miserable,i am just quite enjoying the karma:dance:

I think Charles Dickens work is great. Rachel was saying on LF earlier she wished she knew what the story was about. She thought the ghost bride haunted people ...

Love Charles Dickens stuff especially a Christmas Carol and Oliver
