Please, that wasn't showed in the highlights except for a 5 sec clip:

As for that clip you linked, thanks for finding it; it doesn't show Perez targeting Alex but shows Perez wanting to get out.

When all is said and done, the question I want an answer to is: Why did BB NOT show (in the highlights) Alexander in the DR requesting to leave the House and his reasons for leaving? It is the first time, in any series, where a HM has either been removed or requested to leave of their own accord where this was not shown on a highlights episode. All sounds very covert and suspicious to me - begs the question, are they hiding something?

I bet it was either Perez or Alex to walk out and they begged Alex to take the money and leave to keep Perez.

Do you usually get payed when walking out?

You get paid a % of the fee for each day you lasted

Perez did it all on a purpose to Alex the coughing was plain to see that he was getting at him.

The point is that coughing and blowing kisses is not enough to make someone walk. Alex had his own reasons for leaving and maybe he timed it to make Perez look bad.

Full stop.

Alexander should be grateful that he didn't have Luisa and the other banshee in his series that Jim Davidson had, when they woke housemates up through the night regularly.

Maybe I am a deep sleeper but someone coughing wouldn't wake me,Once as a teenager I was in hospital and someone coughed all the time in the bed next to me,in the bay I was in.
It never stopped me sleeping.

Screaming,yelling and people sort of partying in the room would certainly wake me,quiet chatter or coughing wouldn't however.
Of course that is probably just me but it seems to me Alexander was also looking for as many faults too because he really didn't want to be there at all with likely any of them.

I would (and do) 100% agree with this. Nobody put a gun to Alexanders head and forced him to leave. He probably had other issues and used Perez as his get out card. Quite frankly I don't believe that Alexander should have been at the live eviction, as once you walk you are saying that you don't want to be part of CBB anymore.

I agree. Alexander's problem was entirely to do with his attitude and his overblown reaction to what in the end was a minor bit of nonsense. Supposing BB had done something to create a disturbance, or someone had been coughing all night through genuine illness.. Would he have made such an enormous deal out of it? No.

That said, he did appear to be losing the plot the final day he was in, and I felt a bit relieved he left. I got the impression he has some anger issues, and he might have lost his head and got violent.

Indeed,I thought that possible too, and really Ken was Alexander's first target,not Perez, after the so called racist word Ken used and got warned for.
I think Alexander was also maybe a difficult man to live with,he gave little of himself away and really rarely joined in with much either.

It soon became obvious to me and I am sure most watching that he really had no wish to be there, right from the start really too.

Possibly.. But a lot of musicians talk about nothing but music for hours on end, so he's probably different with people who share that passion. He got very friendly with Patsy, for example.

His behaviour towards Perez was very intolerant, for whatever reason. My boyfriend says that Perez only coughed for a few minutes to make BB open the door, and as soon as Alexander awoke and started shouting, BB opened the door. Alexander was frankly horrible at breakfast when he was giving Perez the evil eye and refusing to eat food he'd been near - that behaviour was totally bizarre, in my opinion.

Probably not but he had to accept that he was going to have to put up with annoying stuff in the Big Brother house. He clearly wasn't well enough to be in there in the first place and blaming someone else for forcing you out or having a drug relapse is just deflecting responsibility from yourself.

I agree. Taking drugs is also a way to avoid issues and pain, and probably stops people developing healthier mechanisms to cope with life's challenges.

BS.
