No one is immune from people having a go at them, legs or not.

This kind of positive discrimination attitude is exactly the problem here with Steve.

Who won task I had to go out ,did Steve get a stiffy on thinking the tights could have been Keeleys ?

Thats why the tasks should be also given a intellectual side to them too, Clearly Steve cannot do major run of the mill physical tasks but there are loads of other aspects to tasks he could do, It is a kind of free rode for him at present and judging, adjudicating and just watcking over teams or deciding who is in what team is not ''doing'' the tasks.
I just think really we the public have little way of judging Steve on anything other than his personal behaviour towards other housemates and thats getting rather sick to watch in some areas.He could have done the Ben task of stand up comedy to the crowd so tasks could be made around him but be tasks he 'does' rather than oversees' and /or watches others doing them.

So to put things on an even keel they could choose ANY task which doesn't require legs. Pretty simple, I think. Wonder why they're not doing it?

it gets me why steve always wears shorts. he looks much better in long pants but its as though he wants to show his legs off for either sympathy or for being a hero

The shorts I can cope with, its the vests that he always wears. Makes me wonder if its a fashion statement where he is from.

When I first saw Steve I facepalmed because it was obvious from the get go that he was going to be a sympathy housemate, people will be scared to vote for him due to how it might make them look and the public don't want to come across as douchbags so they wont vote him out, or at least they will be hoping thats the case, I hope he goes soon

I posted pretty much the same sentiment (ie Steve could do other tasks) on the BB site this evening, when I read about the task and his role in it.

There have been plenty of tasks in previous shows that haven't required physical OR mental prowess ... simply something like the eating chillies / drinking disgusting drinks immediately springs to mind; the mind-numbing sorting of different flavoured crisps, endurance tasks and so on.

To simply have Steve referee a task is pretty patronising, IMO

[Beso]

well, I think we can now put this one to bed.

Why can't they think up tasks he can do? Must be humiliating for him. When keeley was mocking him about it he seemed uncomfortable.
