Well lets face it he is being given a free ride and special consideration.

Lets face it if the tasks were based on an intellectual challenge he is fairly handicapped in that department too. The only tasks which would show him in a good light would be upper body strength type tasks.

Basically he isnt very bright but he can lift heavy weights.

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

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.

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.

[Zippy]

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.

I agree. It's one thing not discriminating cos of his legs, but he is given the advantage every time!

He nothing interesting to say EVER.

He's a dirty minded jerk who if had legs would have had a few people set him straight for his actions. Ben gets more criticism for things that aren't even noteworthy, while Steve cruises along getting away with murder. Its a disgrace that people are afraid to confront hims cos they will be seen to discriminate.

BYE BYE STEVE WE ALL HATE YOU!
