Why was he the only one being an utter nob then? Yeah the others complained, but they didn't kick off like him.

Because not every human is equal and not every human has the same reaction to things. If someone was already feeling irritable for a variety of reasons then the prospect of having to sit on a chair in a relatively confined space for five to seven hours could make you snap. That doesn't mean we should necessarily tolerate that kind of behaviour from an adult but it's equally silly to be judgemental because all of us snap occasionally. But of course he's a housemate in a reality tv show so we're allowed to be hilariously critical and judgmental of them, right.

Exactly...well said. Also people not seeing the bigger picture. Why did he get singled out to sit with the crying baby...why didn't they mix up the seating and let him sit next to somebody on one of the 'sectors'??...Lewis got the worst deal in that task.
Even the crew were allowed to have a lie down..

Lets not forget this is a task...he wasn't sitting on a real plane just sitting on a seat on a set is kinda bigtime different..

Ofc i understand his frustration, i never said it was a fun task but his reaction was over the top, this is big brother (pun maybe or maybe not intended) it's never 'plane (sic) sailing' (again, sorry). He just seems like a premadonna when things don't go his way or when he's asked to do something he doesn't want to. There is no reasoning with him, ever. He can be quite amusing at times, some things he says in the DR can be pretty funny, and true. But im sorry, his reaction was too much, which is typical of him, this wasn't an isolated incident. There is only so much leeway a big brother hm should be afforded, his limit has been reached.

He still had fellow hm's to talk to. It was 5 hours, not 50.

I really didn't like how BB made the task shorter just because he threw a strop.

The faking a panic attack was pathetic and tbh, a bit offensive as someone who actually does suffer panic attacks..they are not something to use to get your own way!

However, it was good viewing. BB pissed me off more.

Did he say he was having a panic attack??...I didn't hear him say that. He was stressed for sure.
What makes you think BB made the task shorter for Lewis?...it was their intention to increase the journey...and their intention to put it back with the Tailwinds story...Lewis calmed down and got on with it..they wouldn't have done it just because he had a strop ffs...but if people dislike him they will want to think that way I suppose..

I don't think the flight would of really lasted " 7 hours " , BB was just having fun .

Erm, as soon as they announced it was longer, he stropped and while stropping, they said that 'maybe' it would be a shorter flight. Then lo and behold, it was shorter. So of course they changed it for him

No he did not say he was having a panic attack, but the put on heavy breathing was clear what he was getting at. It wasn't anxiety, as he said he would have been perfectly fine in first class. It was just a toddler tantrum as someone else had been picked instead of him. Ridiculous really

Vanessa · 06-10-2018, 03:46 PM

To me it genuinely looked like he was struggling. He had a screaming baby to deal with yesterday, in cramped conditions. So maybe he just wanted to be a little more comfortable?
I remember Zoe suggested Lewis for first class, but Thomas the weasel shut her down.

Of course it did

And any of them would have wanted to be a bit more comfortable. I do think he had it harder than the others being stuck with the baby. But to make out that was anything other than a strop because he didn't get first class is just daft.

It was a fake baby, it’s not like those in ‘first class’ couldn’t hear it, so the crying affected everyone, and there was loads of room to get up and walk around, he wasn’t in a cage

There is NO WAY BB would shorten a task to appease ONE housemate...that's ridiculous...you know better than that.

...and your assumption of the Panic attack was just stress at the thought of sitting there for so long...and he let rip. Many would have reacted the same.

I don't though, else I wouldn't have said it? They shortened it as...it sounded like it would be an outright fail if he did leave the 'aircraft', and they clearly wanted them to pass given they were allowed 9 fails and even stuff like Tomasz lying on his belly wasn't classed as a fail

They want them to have a luxury budget, though quite why I don't know given they supply alcohol and that every night anyway. The task was so well thought out, but was designed for a pass and they got scared by Lewis' strop. IMO.

Like, as soon as he said he wasn't doing it, they came out with 'maybe the flight will actually be shorter' heavily hinting that it would be, in order to get him to stay. Its beyond me that people cannot see this actually

...hmmmm, although I think the time was shortened specifically because of what he said...i didn’t get the impression it was specifically for him as such... in that I felt maybe more because new housemates were coming in and BB wanted it to be a luxury budget for their first week...if Lewis refuses to take part it may have resulted in a house fail and BB were trying to prevent that if it was in their power to do so..is what my take was....

Yes this is probably why. I said this later. But it was cut because of his tantrum, and because BB wanted them to pass the task. Why else give them NINE fails for ****s sake

Calderyon · 06-10-2018, 05:21 PM

He was being a giant baby.

Robodog · 06-10-2018, 05:39 PM

Was he wrong or right? Either way: it worked!

It was gonna be an annoying long flight and Lewis' kick-off inspired them to cut it short.
