The fact is would be housemates say all sorts of rubbish to impress the BB auditions. What any of them say on audition should be taken with a huge pinch of salt.....

I agree with Pete and Nikkie having opposite life styles and only time will tell if that matters. Opposites attract and as long as neither one wants to control the other they should stand a chance of a fairly long term relationship.......I somehow think Pete might turn into a control freak wanting heavenly like behavour and no material obsessions. If that be the case then Nikki is going to be frustrated and let down....

There are a lot of differentials that could throw a spanner in the works so as you say its a case of wait and see....

I am sure after a few magazine deals of their romance they both will go in different directions...being Pete will start up his band...and travel loads and Nikki will have her show to do. I cannot see Nikki following Petes band around touring for instance as he wouldn't be traveling to like New York he would be doing smaller gigs which I personally think wouldn't suit Nikki.

We cannot comment 100% until we see how Pete reacts on the outside, it is all tense in the house and sometimes things will be seen to be more than they actually are. I expect a quick romance after bb but nothing long term just because they are both after different things in my eyes.

I am wondering as they will both be busy with the aftermath of BB and deals that they may be kept apart by that alone and any chance of togetherness killed off....

I think the main problem with Nikki and Pete lasting in the outside world is gonna be Pete's tourettes. I'm not trying to be really nasty or vindictive here but I have a pretty low opinion of Nikki and it's hard to get over the fact that she is a shallow, vacuous little girl.

Pete has had to live with his condition for years and he has already said about how difficult it has been for him and the treatment he has recieved from others over it. He clearly has had to find ways to cope with people who give him a hard time, whether it's by ignoring them, laughing at himself, being the silly guy who doesn't care etc, etc.

I just don't think Nikki is able or prepared to deal with that. Once all the media attention has died down, due to idiots out there in the real world, Pete will once again have to face different treatment and prejudice because of his condition. It's not right and maybe coming on BB may have opened people's eyes to how tourettes works, but it's still an unfortunate matter of fact that people will still treat Pete differently and idiots will still have a go and have a laugh at him.

Pete has had a pretty hard life cos of his disability and I just don't see the strength of character in Nikki to stick about when the going gets tough in the real world. She's fine in the small protected microcosm of the BB house, but out in the real world, I can't see the two of them lasting.

There's plenty of other reasons why I don't see them lasting, this is just one of them.

Yeah I can see the "spark" just dying out and I can see Pete "having a good time" and going mad when he is out and not be thinking about Nikki. I think Nikki has some big decisions ahead when it comes to Pete and I don't think she has a mature enough mind to do them. Pete will be hugely busy promoting his band, doing gigs, photo shoots etc etc where as Nikki will be doing her spin off show thing and that will be making her act like a little madam and encourage her childishness rather than putting a lid on it.

I agree totally with that and before the show I can see Nikki actually being one of them people who mocked someone "different" rather than getting to know them. She has said herself she wouldn't looked twice at his because of his clothes etc but she likes him IN the house, On the outside its a completely different ball game. I think Nikki is out to bed him and then their "relationship" will just fizzle out.

Of all the females in the house Nikki will be the least bothered by Petes tourettes. If it doesn't work out between them tourettes will be the least reason for that.......I think she will be more accepting than Pete and his heavenly religious beliefs ....The religious type can be unforgiving when it comes to people who have different standards than themselves....I think Pete will be the problem not Nikki

I think it is a case of wait and see noone knows how things can pan out do they I guess not even those two at this moment in time know what will happen on the outside!!

The main thing is at the moment they make one another happy and give each other support, I think they are both very genuine with their feelings for one another in the house neither is using the other imo they are just two people that care for one another!!

If they come out and there relationship develops into a serious one then great if it doesn't it doesn't but for people to say well it won't last because such a such reason is a tad harsh I think because noone knows.

I gotta disagree with you there Banarama. Of all the housemates, I think Nikki is the one who would struggle the most with dealing with Pete's tourettes (or more dealing with how other people unfortunately are going to treat Pete) in the outside world. I definately think it's something that could break them up, although I agree thats there a load of other reasons and I wouldn't be surprised if Pete broke it off well before Nikki ever reached the stage of doing it herself.

There's only one thing worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about!!!
