During the latest of Derek and Eugene’s chats in the pool, the former has been praising the courteous and benevolent Big Brother.
“I have a fairly good relationship with them in the Diary Room,” he stated. "I know I complain about them sometimes, but not really – it’s all a bit of a joke.
“On the whole when I go in there I find them exceptionally courteous. Good mannered. Kemal’s always complaining about them. He’s constantly going in there for medication…something’s always wrong.”
Eugene, on the other hand, thought that he might have uncharacteristically got on Big Brother’s nerves, saying: “I think they got a little annoyed by mentioning things about the pool…things like ‘thermometer.’
Derek went on to reveal that his own experience of conversation about thermometers in the Diary Room had been perfectly pleasant, explaining: “Well I mentioned it to them and they were very reasonable about it. They said that they would attend to it, and they did."
Convinced he had been wronged over his request to have a thermometer in the spa, Eugene retorted: “She seemed to think it was a very bizarre question to ask.” After a five second bout of inarticulation, he continued: “When I’m deciding when someone’s asking me if the pool’s hot or cold, I can look at it and decide whether it is or not. I wanted to make sure that I did know the actual temperature.”
Derek confirmed that he would not have been satisfied with Big Brother’s answer of “The pool is kept at a constant temperature at all times.” However, given his relationship with BB, it seems he wouldn't have had Eugene’s problem.
