Waste is leaving a sour taste

ANGRY viewers hit by soaring food bills have bombarded BB bosses with complaints about housemates wasting nosh.

Fans protested after a series of food fights and the giant baguette-eating task which made Kat VOMIT.

Housemates were challenged to chomp down the 5ft Brie and grape baguette — but only managed 3ft and binned the rest.

Just days after PM Gordon Brown urged Brits to stop chucking out good food, housemates hurled milk and cereal at each other during Darnell’s presidential breakfast.

They also wasted a week’s supply of chickpeas during an hour-long grub battle. Last night a Big Brother spokeswoman admitted the show had received a stream of complaints — but stressed that housemates would pay for their wastefulness.

She said: “We have had 20 complaints from members of the public about food wastage. The housemates are now aware that they must be more careful.

“They are responsible for the purchase and preparation of their food and meals, and BB provides recycling for waste.

“For the last week housemates have been on a basic shopping budget of a £1 per person a day. Any waste of food will result in them going hungry.”

Darnell got a telling off from BB producers after the breakfast battle.

Bex and Mohamed threw jugs of milk over each other as fellow housemates fled.

Later contestants “exchanged fire” with suncream bombs before drenching each other with water.

They then lobbed chickpeas trodden into the carpet.

House walls, sofas and carpets were smeared with suncream.

In another incident, busty Bex cooked a mix of spaghetti and corned beef — solely with the intention of chucking it over Rex’s head. But the chef hit out, telling the nursery nurse: “What does that look like to the people outside — to see you wasting food?”

Bex previously started another food fight and forced JELLY down Luke’s trousers.

Dale, Stu and Darnell rallied to defend him and hurled grub at her, including peanut butter.

But Bex upped the ante by emptying a can of spaghetti on Dale.

He begged for mercy as she attacked him in the bathroom.

By the time it died down, Bex had been covered in peanut butter, chocolate sauce and spaghetti.

Following the battle, Luke told housemates he had been scarred by the attack.

He said: “I had jelly stuck in parts of my body that I never thought possible.”

LOL

Its just plain wrong to waste food the way these guys do. Entertaining or not, it's just not right.

[Firewire]

Especially when the hell housemates have practically no food and they are wasting all the food they get.

[xDramatick]

LMFAO @ 20 complaints.
People seriously have nothing better to do.

I don't like Mohamed at all but at least he eats food :\
He even ate the food that Darnell forced Sara to make and would've gone to waste otherwise.

Made me laugh last night all the hell housemates complaining at what darnell had bought when he did the shopping budget. Especially that Mikey who is really annoying me now. he voice really irritates me.

No one seemed to complain to Bex all week when she was throwing it all over the house.

Mikey bleating about choclit is hilarious when there are NO potatoes!

I've always been a bit surprised at the food fights and the wasting food that goes in in BB.

I remember years ago they used to do food games on the Generation Game - which involved lots of waste - filleting a chicken, or making pasta - and even then it was considered rather decadent and somehow shameful, and they stopped.

I cant believe they are so stupid as to treat their hard won food this way. Quite mad.

Big Brother viewers have complained about the amount of food that is being wasted in the house, The Sun reports.

The complaints come after a series of food fights in the house, just days after PM Gordon Brown urged the public to reduce its food waste.

When Darnell was elected Head of House last week, his presidential breakfast descended into chaos when the group began to throw cereal and milk over one another.

Previously, Bex had cooked a meal of spaghetti and corned beef with the sole intention of throwing it over Rex's head, and in another incident the group wasted an entire week's worth of chick peas in an hour-long food fight.

A Big Brother spokesperson admitted that the show had received 20 complaints regarding food wastage and said: "For the last week housemates have been on a basic shopping budget of a £1 per person a day. Any waste of food will result in them going hungry."

Head of House Darnell was reprimanded for allowing the food fights to take place.

[Spike]

Don't they have anything better to do
These people are pathetic and should be banned from watching TV

[Lauren]

It's probably not BB viewers as such that complained, but probably some sort of eco-group that got wind of the food fight and decided to stick their oar in.

[Barbie]
