Ahmed slept while the others took guard duty...
Private Pariah
Day 46, 07:00
Monday 12 July
Having cried off sick from last nights sentry duty, Ahmed is unlikely to win the award for most popular housemate.
As his chilly comrades swapped shifts by the hour and covered for him, sympathy was in short supply.
Dan explained to Victor, that where he comes from, a little cold wouldnt get you out of anything.
"Illness doesn't exist [in Hull]," he said matter-of-factly. "There's gotta be a guy in a black robe, painting a black cross on the door... before people will acknowledge you're ill."
Later, while on guard with Victor, Stuart said simply that he couldn't "believe Ahmed didn't do anything".
"He's ********* doing something tonight," asserted Victor darkly. "Enough is enough."
Vic wakes up... to cover for Ahmed...
Shell and Nadia were willing to accept perhaps he really wasn't well, but questioned his team spirit.
"You never want to say to someone, 'you're not ill' 'cos you can never tell how bad they're feeling," argued the blonde graduate. "But at the same time, having to do extra getting up in the middle of the night [to cover him] -- that'll make you ill straight off."
With murmurs of agreement from Nadia, Shell whispered, "Most of us have put in maximum effort."
"Whatever... rewards you get... most people have worked for it."
Oh dear, discontent in the ranks... Will Private Ahmed pull his socks up or become House Pariah?
