[In the Drunk Tank]

So I've just seen the first of the classic eps which was really interesting because I'd never seen anything from BB1. Wonder if there's many people on here who were watching it at the time and what their reaction was then?

Watching it now his plan seems pretty dumb and one that would always be found out. He also seemed totally unable to articulate any reasoning or defence when confronted with it and it was a bit weird how he was just staring at Mel silently when she was trying to help him after. He basically just didn't seem that sharp. Was he actually any good as a housemate before this? I remember him as being pretty boring on UBB but that was obviously a long time after
