I'm getting too deep into this.....
WHY was it a TOT task, and not just a normal task to get a message from his kids?? I'll tell you why.... so he can get told exactly what he wants to hear in the DR, which BB will only show a fraction of on the h/ls!!! If it was a normal task and he passed, one of the other housemates would have read his message out in front of EVERYONE, and even if it was cut to shreds in the h/ls - everyone would have heard it - so nothing to hide
