Who "elected" him to do this?

And how did I miss the part where they all took a vote and decided what John should demand that Tiffany do to appease them all?

Do you not think he had a point?”

No - Angie strikes me as more than capable enough of deciding herself what's right for her, and she'd already stated she'd wished to stay in the house, cocooned away from the glare of publicity that she would no doubt face at the moment.

Just like Darren is more than capable I'm sure, given his past, of spotting the signs in himself when he might possibly be vulnerable to relapsing.

But no, apparently John knows best. And of course, choosing those two people to nominate 'for their own good' meant he didn't have to put his neck on the line for choosing more negative valid reasons with any of the others.

Tiffany didn't behave stupidly. She behaved in a reasonable manner when someone told her that one of their housemates had just dropped dead.

And if Angie's bereaved, I'm a monkey's uncle. Bereaved people don't decide it's better to stay on some stupid gameshow with a bunch of strangers than to go and grieve in private with their friends and family.
