**Task Going In: I'm All Ears**


Today, Callum will become the house therapist. His fellow housemates will all be given the chance to talk through their problems by chatting with Big Brother’s therapist Callum. They will go to see him one by one and share their problems with Callum. As a good listener and full of good advice, Callum will do his best to solve their problems, whatever their issues might be.

Day 40: The housemates analyse Callum's therapy

It's fair to say that Callum has seized the opportunity to play House therapist with both hands. But how are the other housemates reacting to his words of wisdom? Hmm, let's just say it's a mixed bag.

Both Dan and Hazel emerged from their sessions with a similar air of suspicion. Speaking to Charlie post- chat, Hazel warned, "He's been made to try and catch us out", with Dan adding, "Just be careful. It's a catch."

Dexter also had his suspicions, telling Gina in the bedroom that he thinks Callum used the opportunity to 'have one over on him'.

"He said my journey was complete, like he was insinuating that I'm ready to leave," he mused.

Is Callum using his new found power to get his own back on his sparring partner, or is Dexter looking too much into a throw-away comment? Who knows with these two. They play so many mind games that not even we can keep up.

Meanwhile, the Twins were just happy to have free biscuits and Gina came out of her slot telling anyone who would listen that she had a whale of a time.

"I had a biscuit and I laid down and I chilled. It was lovely", she said.

Well you win some, you lose some, but maybe you shouldn't give up your day job just yet, Cal.

Day 40: Callum picks his favourite patient

Our House agony uncle for the afternoon was Callum. As part of the I'm All Ears task, "Mr. Nicey Nice" (as he's been dubbed since he crossed the House threshold) listened sympathetically to every housemates' issues in an attempt to lighten their load and soothe their brains.

A great variety of housemate issues spilled from the crazy gang's mouths when they weren't chomping the provided biscuits. Dan talked about his problems with being a greedy so-and-so. Dexter mentioned that he had problems with people in the group – highlighting his own therapist of the moment, Callum, as a particular bugbear. Hazel revealed that she's frightened of opening up because she worries criticism will be heaped upon her. Gina's issue was reintegration after living the Safe House high life.

When the twins sat on the couch and vented, they made it clear the House 'love triangle' was giving them grief and also revealed that they're sick of being "talked down to". Charlie was next on the settee and she chose to speak to her on-off masseur about thinking before she speaks – as well as her issues with trust. Sophie had less to say, mainly fuming that people in the House annoy her and that washing her underwear in the sink is proving to be a pain. The poor love.

Ultimately it was Sam who won the task. At Big Brother's command, Callum decided it was the Welsh lad who'd opened up the most. He was "open-minded", he "opened up" and he even "welled up" – so Callum was impressed.

His reward? The lucky beggar got to reverse roles and cross-examine Callum back. He also got to munch more of those delicious biscuits. Hooray!
