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.
