Housemates earned their tennis reward but some were less than impressed by what Big Brother meant by tennis.
"Oh my God. It is actually just a tennis court," said Kemal as he tottered on his heels to inspect their prize. "Where's the Pimms?"
Orlaith and Craig also thought tennis meant something else. "Where's the strawberries and cream?" asked Orlaith, while Craig demanded champagne.
"I'm going back to bed," said Kemal.
Anthony and Science were first on court. Anthony claimed, "I still haven't lost my serve, like."
"What am I supposed to do? Hit it, yeah?" asked Science, who said he'd been good at the game in school.
Anthony went into his best John McEnroe, shouting, "You cannot be serious! The ball was on the line."
"Oh I can't hit it," complained Craig, as the ball escaped his swing.
"You've got to hit it in the court, Craig," said Anthony, teasing him.
"I know! It's my sunglasses. They're distracting me," Craig claimed.
Orlaith wore less than Wimbledon regulation tennis wear. Possibly less than regulation beach volleyball wear. But she and Craig enjoyed a game in the sun.
Craig did manage a tantrum, telling Makosi he could tell no one wanted him to play.
After a brief spell of sulky abstinence Derek got into the swing, proving quite handy around the court. But Craig claimed he and Orlaith were the House champions, despite some derision from fellow Housemates.
