I get the impression that it is pretty boring in there. No tv, no books, no internet, no news, no family contact. All they have to concentrate on is tasks and each other so it's perhaps not surprising that they focus in on the 'scandal' of somebody apparently cheating on their boyfriend.
Also, it is right under their noses. It's not as though Steph and Jez have their own room. If you're lying in a bed trying to rest, perhaps missing your own boyfriend and you have a couple. Rolling around on a bed next to you, it might well get on your nerves.
Generally, you're right. It would be nobody's business but theirs and the boyfriend that is being cheated on. But they aren't in a 'normal' situation in there.”
Fair point and I get it that it is different stuck in there all together, and I wouldn't like it if I was in a bedroom where someone was shagging like Stephen and his girlfriend in Helens year of BB - I would have something to say about that! But its like all perspective has gone for the other housemates and they have become totally focussed on Stephanie who doesn't owe them any explanations - I suppose I was raised in a world with no instant entertainment and we made our own games. I can remember my mum always saying 'only a boring person gets bored' - I would rather play charades, find the pea in the cup, bundle some socks together and play catch/football/rounders with a rolling pin as the bat - sit together and ask each other questions, like what was your best......?, what would you have as your last meal, etc, etc. , they have the swimming pool which is heated, and they cannot possibly know everything about each others stories by now. I certainly wouldn't be sitting there staring at a couple under a duvet and feeling angry. I honestly don't get it. What a bunch of miserable people. Their problem is that they only care about what they look like, what they have done in their own lives and naval gazing. Sad really.
