Tim should have had a pair of glasses with him in the house. What would happen if he were to lose one of the lenses, or get an eye infection? Anyone with contacts should have a pair of glasses, especially if they are legally blind without corrective lenses.

Another point, he should have stayed up until 1am. So what if the housemates went to bed? If he didn't want to have a little nap with his lenses in he should have stayed up. It's not like he would have had to stay up all night.

I used to wear contact lenses, just the ordinary kind, not the disposables you wear for weeks at a time, and once in a while I would sleep with them in. Not very often, but it doesn't hurt to sleep with them in once in a while. Doing it all the time is not recommended. If he had given them an extra clean earlier in the evening, he would have been ok to sleep for a couple of hours with them in. Then at 1am he could have taken them out.
Another thing, he said it takes him 5 minutes to put his lenses in.
He's obviously very slow at putting them in. It never took me 5 minutes to put my lenses in. I'll grant you that he never would have had time to put the lenses in and get his gear on in time, but 5 minutes for lenses? Sounds like an excuse to me!

My theory is that he just wanted to get out of the task as much as he could and thought the lenses were the perfect excuse. That's all there was to it. He could have prepared ahead of time (either staying up, giving them a clean and having a short nap), but no, it was just him throwing his weight around. He thought the lenses would be the perfect excuse, and when BB said his absenses were going to count against them in the task, he got all p***** off and said they were discriminating against him. What a bunch of BS!

I'm sorry, but there is no way BB should have let him off if they did. This is someone who is too used to getting his own way.
He needs to be knocked down a couple of pegs.
