Cracker Josh
Published Wednesday, Jun 27 2001, 21:15 BST | By Neil Wilkes
Round one of the Big Brother Guinness World Record breaking attempt can only be classed as just that - an attempt, albeit a brave one.

Josh looked tense during the final mouth-drying seconds of his cracker eating bid but he'd bitten off more than he could chew.
The record to beat was three crackers in one minute and 22 seconds but with ten seconds to go Josh had only eaten two.
The final cracker was a real struggle for Josh. With a reddened face and twisted throat, he forced down the last crumbs before shouting: "Stop!"
With that, Bubble announced that he completed the task 27 seconds outside the world record time.
But despite his failure his housemates sang his praises. "Fair play," Bubble said, patting the defeated and breathless Josh on the shoulder.
Although, at that precise moment, Josh probably felt that the game was less than fair.
Big Brother 2 is a Bazal production for Channel 4.
