We get it every show now where the producers have their favourites who they give all the best tasks to and we only have to look back at the Helen Wood getting the pass to the final to know that this is true.
I think they have set John up like a kipper this year and like you say I don't think they have finished with Tiff yet either! To think so many of us have felt sorry for Steph, yes this was a task, but Steph seems to have gone out of her way to wind John up the most when he has been nothing but kind and decent to her and a shoulder to cry on. I have done with Steph too, it'd no wonder the housemates are at the end of their tether with her and maybe we have been wrong about Scott and Danniella being so nasty to her and we just haven't seen enough of what she has really been like. Task or no task, why did she need to throw the milk everywhere? No wonder John is so cross with her!”
I'm sorry, but while I do feel for John at times (and genuinely so - please see previous posts), and don't think he's anyway near as bad as he has been portrayed - he has brought some of this on himself (just like Steph has in her instances of getting certain criticisms).
He is a bit of a schemer (Tiff, Megan, Gemma and many forum members have called him out on this - so that's people INSIDE and OUTSIDE the house - don't think they can ALL be wrong on that particular point).
I am a Steph supporter but have readily recognised her negative traits (feel free to click on my profile to read some posts if you can be bothered). But John supporters just don't seem to want to admit that he has this side to him.
Instead, they are now resorting to stretching the imagination to really believing Steph was somehow doing this on purpose (the milk thing) to "get at" John. It's getting somewhat pathetic (with respect).
They all have faults. Steph can be very immature and inconsiderate, but she has a good heart. John is a great HM, can be very caring, but he also has a narcissistic side.
