I'm sorry but the way they did that task was ridiculous. First off, why should Adam be the one who gets to decide who gets which prize, hardly fair especially when he's already had tasks before, and secondly it was completely obvious he would win because like he himself said in the Diary Room if someone said to you that if you stand on a box for 12 hours you'll get a 50" TV of course you're gonna do it, while all the others had to wrestle with the fact there's a good chance they'll get a crap prize he could just hang around for a few hours safe in the knowledge he'd get the one thing he wanted which just made the whole thing dumb.
They seemed to think that would be a really good twist having him decide the prizes when really it just made it a pointless contest Edit - ok so I didnt realise it was random who went in there but I stand by my second point Last edited by MTVN; 30-07-2012 at 10:24 AM. |

Did they specifically ask adam to go to the DR to chose the prizes or was it a 'can one HM come to the DR' thing? (havent seen it yet, am 2 weeks behind again )
From reading up about the prizes though I seriously wish Ashleigh had won. Would have been fantastic to see her struggling for 12 hours for a loo brush

Does seem quite odd getting a HM to decide the prizes.

Oh I didn't realise it was just "one housemate come to the DR" but still my second point remains valid.. it just ruins the contest when one housemate knows he just has to last a few hours to get the one prize he really wants, especially when it's actually something pretty valuable like a 50" telly
Would have been better to have an ex housemate decide or something, or at least make it so they're all in the same boat not knowing what's in their box Last edited by MTVN; 30-07-2012 at 12:32 AM. |

It was a bit ridiculous....but fair play to Adam he was really decent about the gift allocation. He genuinely thought them through and did not pick things to annoy when he so easily could have....like gym membership for Becky. Even Ashleigh getting the toilet brush...he had a legitimate reason for giving her that and now she isnt talking to him....did she forget how she deliberatly embarrassed him in front of all the other housemates...and on national television. She had that coming!!!

Stellar all-star line up
|
Should've had all the boxes not labelled and have HMs stand on random boxes, surely.

The forum would've gone into meltdown if Conor got to choose the prizes

BB ruined the task, no housemate should have known about the prizes they were getting.

They just called a random HM to the DR and it was him, no need to get on like that over it. However, I don't think he should of been allowed to compete or something since he picked them.

I thought this too, the task was a great concept in itself, and at least it was random who allocated the prizes, but whoever ended up choosing had a definite huge advantage by knowing what everyone else and themselves had in their boxes.
They were obviously going to give themselves the best prize for them personally.

I think like most tasks, the point is not the task itself but how much drama it can cause. Hence letting one of the housemates pick the prizes so someone would get angry. Mission accomplished.

Adam was thoughtful in his selections.
Only Luke S and Trash would have received weak prizes -- but they lost anyway, so who cares? |

I think Adam was very nice when giving out the prizes, he could have gave Becky the gym membership yet he gave her the cash prize.

Conor would have been far more selfish with the prize allocations as would any of the Insiders. Actually, given the choices he made, i don't think anyone would have been fairer and actually made as well thought out decisions as Adam did in this task. I think possibly Sara would have gone at it with the right attitude but due to her fuzzy brain and indecisiveness she would have taken bloody hours deciding and would have ended up messing it all by worrying about 'certain' housemates reactions to her choices. So, all in all, i think the house was lucky that Adam was the first housemate to go to the diary room when they asked for someone. Last edited by JTM45; 30-07-2012 at 06:38 AM. |

I didn't like this task either, those who got allocated rubbish will have that fresh in their minds ...or their family will whoever is doing the nominating.
If one of the excuses for nomming adam is the way he distributed the prizes its really unfair. Why did he stand on the telly...Surely a 50in cost less than a grand? I was so shocked he gave becky and not deana the money or TV.

It was a good point The Mockinator made about the task where Conor and Caroline got to chose who won each task that helped lead to their immunity.
