I wear glasses and, if I weren’t wearing them or contact lenses, I wouldn't want to get on roller skates, especially if I wasn't very good at it. There is a difference between that and simply walking to the diary room, I think. I suppose it depends how shortsighted he is.

Any optician will tell you it's not good practise to leave contact lenses in while you are sleeping and Tim probably would not have had enough time to put them in and prepare for the task. Does that mean that if all the housemates go to bed at 11:00 pm, Tim has to stay up until 1:00 am? That makes me think that Big Brother has set him up to either to fall around on roller skates unsighted, or he has been set up to be the villain of the piece who fails the task.

As for his diary room performance, yes it was over-the-top, but people have lost their tempers in there before. Jonny spoke about doing that a week or two ago but, of course, it wasn't shown. Channel 4 has decided Tim is to be the hate figure of Big Brother - the sacrificial lamb at the altar of high ratings. The bit where he is supposed to have lied to others had editing written all over it - he probably told the others he was only joking later on.

Since learning that he is unpopular, Tim has developed a siege mentality, hating everything to do with Big Brother, wishing it would end and will probably end up wishing he had never applied in the first place. He knows there is nothing he can do to make himself popular, so he has given up completely.

And in my opinion, Graham Norton would have more credibility if he employed people to write jokes for his monologues that were actually funny. All I saw was a sneering and snobbish (the very things he accuses Tim of being) celebrity in the pulpit of his television show vilifying the lesser mortal that he sees a Big Brother contestant to be.

I’m sorry if all this seems antagonistic but it’s just my opinion.
