Big Brother gets the silent treatment
By by Simon Holden
After failing their "back to school" challenge the hungry housemates got their revenge on Big Brother today by mounting a silent protest.
Fed up with being bullied by the programme producers they vowed to keep schtum all day until extra provisions were laid on.
Stuart Wilson played chess and then went to bed, while Jason Cowen and Ahmed Aghil wandered around the garden looking like lost souls. The others communicated with gestures only. The only loud sounds to be heard on E4 came with the adverts.
The group were told they would get no food after failing a spelling test and history presentation. Beans and rice are all that they can eat.
Producers were slow to spot the silent protest plan being hatched and thought there were faults with the microphones. E4 resorted to asking viewers to text in answers to the question: "How can the housemates pass the time in silence?"
Big Brother has decided to monitor the housemates' silent protest before making a decision on whether to discipline them. It's not clear if they are actually breaking any rules.
The only sounds from the house came from Becki Seddiki humming and the constant rain hitting the roof. It means that Friday's highlights show promises to be the dullest ever broadcast.
The hours of tedium have only been alleviated by the occasional cackle from transsexual Nadia.
I heart how the only thing you can hear is Nadia's laugh.
I knew it'd get quieter once Marco left.
