Pass The Parcel & timings thereof

Scott just said it was a "bit of a coincidence" that everyone got to answer one question, rather than one person getting two or more goes. The music was supposed to be in bursts of 20 seconds, and someone on here raised the possibility that they were stopping the music whenever they fancied (when it landed on a favourable HM).

Did anyone go back and check the timings? Was it a big conspiracy?

I was occasionally looking at the clock and it wasn't far out.

I found it peculiar that they were saying 'hurry up, hurry up' to those who had to take a wrapper off because they wanted 'as many people through as possible...' as if the overall timing had anything to do with it. Nobody seemed to grasp that it was the number of wrappers that was finite and it didn't matter how long it took for someone to go to the sofa area, the game would have been played until all wrappers were off.

There was always going to be at least one person left out.

The whole situation was designed to create conflict.

The last person to get the parcel would have had to choose one of the other two. Therefore the on HM not chosen would resent the HM who did not pick them and resent the rest for having fun while they were left out for not getting a chance. Remember Steph and Ray both got a question wrong and Sissy was left out cos Scott picked Nush, who with Sissy did not get a chance to answer a question.

If any HM had got two questions another HM would have lost the chance to have a go, so createing more resentment.

BTW wasn't Sissy a real baby about not getting in, that was particularly pathetic as she got a free pass to the room last week as the referee of the tug of war, What a baby.

As Sissy was umpire last week AND didn't get a question this week she has had no control over her own winning/losing of the prize for herself(not that she'd have made much difference to the tug of war).
Automatically setting Sissy apart from the other housemates, who (apart from Nush this week) had a chance to shape the outcome of the tasks.

I thought it was fixed so that everyone got a go at a question except Sissy, who having been arbitrarily made a winner last week, was arbitrarily made a loser this week.

Sissy was extraordinarily ungracious in her reaction to the outcome of the task. I do hope we are going to get the chance to vote her out soon.

Did no-one else notice that Tanya had two goes. She got her first question wrong, but they didnt show it on the highlighyts show yesterday, meaning that had Tanya not had two gos and everyone answered correctly, ALL housemates would have gone in the games room.

Sissy belongs in the junior version of Big Brother with the four year olds. She might have a chance of looking mature then. She kicked over the stool when they lost the 2nd challenge, has cried daily, sulked big time when she didnt get into the reward room, decided to hang it all on Jon and appeal for him to be evicted, then later says she doesnt have a problem with him and her latest paddy is because Nush commented on using too many tea bags. God help us all if anyone comments on how she wolfs all the crisps. How I dislike that girl-child.

Are you sure? I watched in live on E4 and I didn't see Tanya get two questions. Surely if she got her first question wrong that would have been it and she wouldn't get another go?

Yeah. I watched it live and we were livid when she didnt pass it on. But we thought it could have been that she thought shed break the rules if she gave it to someone else. It is partly why Im annoyed at Sissy having a go at Scott. If anyone should be blamed for Sissy not having a go it's Tanya.

This doesn't ring any bells (pardon the pun) could you describe a bit more what you saw?

I also don't remember her getting a question wrong...

only Ray and Steph answered their questions wrong, Tania only got the question about the dice. There were only 8 layers so if all questions were answered correctly 1 person would have been left behind, cos the winner picked the ninth person.

Spot on Piglet, that is exactly right.
