Man on the Edge

He might act like the coolest cucumber in town... but Richard is really an emotional wreck, according to today's task...

In the first part of the 'Who Do You Think You Are?' Task, the Canadian came bottom of the pile in a test examining housemates' ability to deal with stress and their tendency to freak out about things.

When he heard the news, he freaked out. But not in a bad way, he just looked shocked. The other housemates looked pretty surprised too, after they'd incorrectly elected Aisleyne as the most vulnerable character.

"Oh no, I need therapy," Richard exclaimed.

"Come on, let me hold you," offered Susie.

They didn't seem to take the results that seriously though. The housemates' failure to realise Richard was such a delicate soul saw them miss out on some party music. But the news got better as they correctly guessed that Susie was the most emotionally stable housemate.

"Does that make me a hard cookie?" she wondered. "Firm but fair."

The housemates didn't answer, they were obviously too scared in the presence of such a hard nut.

Maybe it was all that teabag guarding that toughened her up...
