OUTHOUSE: Rob
After this morning's spat with The Farm's resident vegetarian, Rob visited the Outhouse to vent his feelings.
Initiating another controversial discussion earlier, he'd challenged Rebecca on her ethics just as she was tucking into her cereal.
Paying a visit to the Outhouse herself, Rebecca had laid into the Farm Manager, calling him "stupid", and it's no secret that she thinks he's lazy. Rob's ears must have been burning, for he then trooped off to give his side of the story.
Regurgitating many of his comments from their breakfast barney, he expressed his dismay at how she could be so critical of meat eaters. "I told her 'everything you're doing is assisting in the death of every animal here to go to market!'," he shrieked.
"It's a joke! She don't even belong here," he ranted, totally ignoring the fact he'd been asked for his thoughts on Stonehenge. "She thinks this is some kind of petting zoo," he said.
He also thinks Ryan showed her a little favouritism in Monday's Farmhands' exam, specifically the chicken-catching. "I think Ryan has something for [her], which is funny 'cos I think he could do a lot better," he laughed.
Denigrating Rebecca's charms further, he added, "[Ryan's] a damn handsome farmer, but maybe he's been on the farm too long."
Labelling her "irritating" and "fake", he nominated her as the Farmhand he'd most like to see go tonight. And though she doesn't rate his style or input as Farm Manager, he thought things were going pretty well under his leadership, feeling that everything was, in fact, getting done "more efficiently...with a smile on everybody's face".
"My style is to let everybody do what they know, don't ride their back," he smiled, though he doubted his jackass behaviour had earned him any respect.
Not with one lady, that's for sure!
