Big Brother’s Shahbaz Chauhdary: First Impressions

Shahbaz - despite being in his late 30’s - reacted like a child and took everything personally. Eventually, Shahbaz decided he was going to leave, only to be told by Big Brother that he couldn’t.
Damn! Although he started off being quite entertaining, could Shahbaz already be outstaying his welcome?
