On day 3, Penny, Paul and Brian took over the fire watch at 6am
and decided to make themselves useful and chop up some wood. However,
Brian, urged on by the others, went a bit mad with the axe and it
amusingly fell apart in his hands, causing him to let out an exaggerated
shriek in mock panic.
At around 10am everyone else surfaced. Narinder did her weekly
prayers and Bubble, who'd only had a few hours' kip and was still
dozy, came straight-out to check on the fire. Upon being told that
there was some 'bad news,' he immediately jumped to the conclusion
that the fire had gone out saying, "Don't tell me I sat up
all fu*kin' night for nothing?" He was relieved to hear that
it was just the axe handle but light-heartedly asked them why the
hell they were chopping wood in the first place; not that should
have had to answer to him really.
A little later the group compiled the shopping list, working on
a total budget of £70. However, the 15 minutes they'd been
allowed wasn't enough and it turned into somewhat of an ordeal.
Bubble interrupted Penny in the diary room with the suggestion to
get cider instead of beer and when he tried to come back a second
time, Big Brother had locked him out! Not that it stopped him trying
to shout through the gap in the thick padded door.
Shortly after, Amma suggested to Stuart that they should budget
for booze first the next time. She said, "Even if we spent
70 quid on booze, you'd eat really boring crap for a week, but you'd
eat." Now they're starting to get into the swing of
it! Amma also suggested that she could foresee personality clashes
but didn't reveal specifically who between.
At almost 1pm, Narinder suggested it was inevitable that Paul and
Penny would end up shagging each other. Penny made-out that she
wasn't keen, but a quick kiss between the pair followed. Later,
Stuart told a great story of his most embarrassing moment: it involved
him getting caught by his colleagues in a lift enjoying a bit of
'nookie with his wife!
Whilst Penny cooked dinner, the rest of the group sat outside listening
to Paul recounting his 'pulling' stories. When asked how many girls
he'd slept with, Paul claimed around 20. Dean claimed a similar
amount but in true 'lads' style, Bubble upped the stakes and put
his personal number of notches "in triple figures." Hmmm…are
you sure Bubble? Stuart was coyer about it but Narinder admitted
she'd had just the one partner, her hubby.
Upon
being served-up the beef chilli meal prepared by Penny, the housemates
awarded her with a round of applause for her efforts. Whether it
was a genuine gesture or not, after the meal Bubble displayed a
particularly non-chauvinistic attitude by suggesting that Penny
was doing too much and that it made him feel guilty.
Brian later suggested that he and Bubble should try dressing as
each other for a challenge, calling for the cockney to become his
'doll'. However, Bubble was having absolutely none of it and harshly
criticised Brian's fashion sense. Unfortunately, Brian didn't take
the opportunity to 'bitch back about Bubble's crap haircut, silly
hats or white socks!
The day ended with Dean, Elizabeth, Amma and Bubble tending the
fire, discussing how the 'imprisoned' feeling but acknowledging
how they could leave if they wanted. Amma suggested she wasn't ready
to leave yet we think she's brewing for a 'showdown' or two and
could which could bring about her early exit.
