0:08:07 > 0:08:11To be voted off in that way is terrible.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15It's a pathetic way to get rid of someone with a pink shirt.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I've got red pants. Would he have done it for that?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Round Two. You've won £700 out of a possible £1,000.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26There are eight of you left.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30You got rid of David because Paul didn't like his shirt,
0:08:30 > 0:08:35which is pretty alarming if you look at Paul's shirt.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37The good news is,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40you've still got Claire who claims to be 24
