Why does it take BB giving them a potato cooking task for the only chef in the House to finally get into the kitchen and cook for his fellow HMs, and try and be creative with the product he's got at hand?
Why do they wait to celebrate a birthday until BB gives the music, a cake and booze?

They seem to just laze about and wait for the next task and until then, all they do is gossip and be nasty to each other.
If BB would never set another task again they would be bored out of their skulls because they can't seem to think of anything to do all by themselves. Rather pathetic to be honest.

Bring back the garden. Make them grow their own veggies.

AND make their own bread

Yes, it would at least be an instructive experience for them to learn how to properly look after themselves, but can you see the likes of 'I don't know and I don't want to know' Becky up to her elbows in dough?

Mr Tesco does that thing called 'cukin' doesn't he?

I'd say bring the chickens back too.... but this lot would either starve them or bore them to death.

It's not even about bringing back animals or gardens, they simply can't think of anything to amuse themselves with. If you know a birthday is coming up, why not order products to make your own cake with? Why aren't they thinking of their own games, helping each other with whatever their 'field of expertise' is? I've seen Arron do a cat walk with Sara, and then other joined in, but that's about it.

Why did it take a dance task for Lydia to do something with her experience of being a dancer? Why did BB have to call Luke to the kitchen before he thought 'hmm, there's all these potatoes here, what dish could I think of...'

It shouldn't annoy me so much but it does. Makes me feel like I've turned into my Mum, who would tell us that it's OK to be bored, as long as we didn't bore her with it.

Now you mention it, they really are very boring people.

And rewarding them with a party because they had clean the house...

There are a lot of younger people in the house these days. This generation has been bought up with computers, games consoles, calculators, etc. When have they ever had to think for themselves?
