What has Dexter done of ANY significance?

Whats this weird obsession people have with him.

Saying that he should be the only one with the safehousepower because hell make the most of it is ridiculous.

Hes a wimp, he never expresses any opinions.

People seemed to have latched onto him because hes an outsider.

At least Deana last year had fire in her belly Dexter just rolls over and takes whatever the housemates throw at him

Hes resilient sure but he offers nothing to the house in the way of Drama. He has no real personality and anytime he has been in a position of power hes failed on all counts to make use of it.

Hes pretty useless.

It might not be of any significance to you, but he's been involved in plenty of the drama since launch, whether that makes him a good person or a bad one is down to opinion.


The fact he's been involved in most things is the reason why I would love to lose Sam, Daley, Charlie, Callum and possibly Sophie over Dexter.

He has manipulated everyone in that house at least once into reacting or revealing in a way counter to their own best interests in the house, and done so in a way that looks entirely innocuous.

The primary reason the twins don't like him (aside from Wolfy telling them and doing as she says) is that he makes them feel stupid. The other hm's aren't much different, they say creepy or snakey, but what they really mean is they leave a conversation with him knowing something just happened, but they don't know what. You can clearly read it on their faces.

It's a delicate balance, and entirely likely he may end up letting Gina see too much of it in the safe house, totally destroying his game, but barring that, he'll have blindsided that entire house to the final before they realize what's hit them.

Basically every argument converges on him, despite him doing very little to provoke it. He's a complete catalyst.

Times he has pro-actively done things worth noting include telling Dan he wrote that anonymous note, calling out Hazel, telling Callum he thought he was too nice, finding the Tennis ball and making a deal out of it.

But yes, it's more things happen to him rather than due to him.

He is the most powerful thing you can be in BB -- the underdog. I am certain there's much we dont know about his behavior in the house to get the whole place to turn on him so vehemently. I think there are negatives we don't know about for the highlights. But, so what? He's the focus of the show and is keeping me entertained.

To manipulate people you first have to infiltrate a group and hes gone out of his way to seperate himself.

Dexter has been the main character in every HL show .
He has had a whole house nominated him,tell him they hate him ,he's a snake,isolate him and he took it in his stride.
I enjoy watching him and Gina interact and join forces against the radar dodgers when it comes to noms.
He is the only Hm that has tried to shake the house up and expose some of the deadwood.
I find him honest and a breath of fresh air compared to most in there.
He also doesn't kiss ass.
And I don't need to make you understand why I like Dexter

He's more subtle than he thinks. He plants seeds, tells white lies and half truths and generally gets under the HM's skin without being threatening or aggressive. I can easily see why the HM's hate him but to me he's doing what 90% of BB contestants say they're gonna do in the house. He's stirring things up and winding them up without being nasty or horrible. He's a great HM.

hes an idiot

He got Wolfy to go off on her "everyone knows I'm going to win" rant by telling her he was being strictly strategic and that she was obviously the biggest threat.

He got Hazel to break her sweet and sassy character by calling her vanilla.

He made Sophie look like a complete idiot after the cigarette fight by pointing out she was fine with smoking one if he got one, but didn't want to take part in the asking. He even got her to admit she told him to go wake Wolfy up to ask her.

He got Dan to go on a completely bitchy tirade about how he's not bitchy.

He got Callum to nearly walk, and end up looking like a petulant whiner.

He's repeatedly brought out the twins bitchy side, totally breaking character from their "house clowns" role.

With the whole tennis ball incident, he managed to get everyone from Gina to Daley looking petulant and petty.


And the common ground with all these things - they aren't evident to the house, but they are evident to us. He is a professional gambler, and he is playing a hell of a game. He reads them, sees their tells, and exploits them. Everyone talks about Wolfy's twitchy eye when she lies. Between his bravado the first week and his quiet watching the second, he's spotted the tells of everyone in that house.

If you don't like someone playing the game, that's fine. But don't be so disingenuous as to suggest the support for him is blind.

He's genuinely one of the greatest BB Housemates of all time.

And i mean genuinely in terms of being on a gameshow and not being a utter muppet like Nikki (and flailing her arms and whatever bollocks some people like).

Dexter doesn't need good diary room visits or some outburst of silly drama.

This guy is the epitome of entertainment and is the saviour of this series.

The fact there are so many ****e HM's this series has been counter-balanced by Dexter, that just shows how strong he has been.

Because let's be honest, there's not much strength in depth in this series, and without Dexter it could possibly be a boring series.

Sophie's reaction after her outburst to him was classic Dexter (i hate him, i hate him so much
), look how angry he made her without actually doing that much, all he did was go up to Wolfy and say Sophie said she wants a fag.

A little thing like that and he set her off.

Classic Dexter.

And notice how Dexter never loses his cool or temper, when Sophie lambasted him and shouted at him, he did nothing but sit and ponder his next move.

Amazing man.

I agree with you a little, sometimes I find too much praise can be a turn off.

However you didn't help the situation by asking fans to talk about why they think he's great. This thread is a good discussion, but it's heaped with his praise.

I'm still curious as to why you're saying


but he offers nothing to the house in the way of Drama.
