I'm curious about that comment.

When did he make it?

In the basement ,when they were doing the nomination twist .

It's a bizarre comment though because Khaled hasn't really been "problematic" from what we've seen so far anyway.

It's all based on Ali's irrational hatred for Khaled, Dean is going along with it as he has no brain of his own.

Tbf Dean did push for Khaled to be paired with Marcello, he has somehow got away with that one.:laugh:

Dean is an odd one imo.

I liked Dean up until he was HOH. I think he maybe wants to impress Ali? or maybe see's her as powerful.

But funny things is Ali is throwing him under the bus to save her own skin, Dean is thick as 2 planks if he trusts Ali :joker:.

How would he want her to be head of house when he smashed her portrait? Lily would be a terrible HoH, maybe somewhat entertaining to watch because of just how terrible she would be, but let's not act like Khaled is wrong for saying that... :laugh:

I don't think it is personal it s just desperate measures now she will throw anyone under to save herself.

Given he's made no secret of how wary he was to be interacting with straight men when he first entered the house, it wouldn't surprise me that he meant Khaled was problematic in the far-left twitterati sense, sadly.

That's one of the things which make him seem (to me) to be a bit of a relic - how can someone only a bit older than me have encountered so much homophobia from his peers? To the extent where he's actually wary of interacting with straight men? It doesn't really ring true.

Mostly agree. This task is really exposing Dean though. He isn't Ali's dupe, I don't think.

He was playing a good game under the radar with his 'I'm just a nice guy who isn't used to being accepted' schtick, but we are starting to see him now and Ali and the spotlight of HoH is a core part of that.

This pairing is cold as ice and the others will regret deeply not removing them from the HoH pool.

I dislike both, either would have been in my targets in that breaking glass task, but I think Dean is more of an active player than people are giving him credit for. What we have seen so far isn't what Dean is, but this task is showing him up a little.

I actually think Ali noticed how Dean let her take all the damage over the fallout alone though more than she says and won't forget that going forward.

I think the difference is you don't have horrible guys in there, most of them are lovely nice blokes.

Sadly, it does come across that way.

There was a bit of code going on during that exercise as it seemed like half of their mutual impressions were agreed by facial expressions more than outright saying "X is blah". Unless BB cut something substantial out. Ali led a lot with silence, imo.

I liked Dean at the start but he's coming across badly in the last 2 episodes. Suckling up to Ali which is nauseating when she's been b1tching to others about him.

Hopefully he sees the light soon.

Yes, I think they share a similar gameplan, if not value set, and so they didn't have to worry as much about taking what the other might say about some of the choices for granted.. was my thought. I don't know that he meant problematic that specifically, but I thought maybe it was left open intentionally to mean a myriad of things at the same time.. or the editing cut off a lot of nuance that would've provided context. I couldn't rule out the latter because that whole scene seemed rushed. And we can't know a specific meaning obviously without more clues.

Dean has quite a bit of an angry side.

People need to wake up to Dean.

So far he has played the 'I'm a nice guy who is overwhelmed at being accepted' schtick to the hilt and flown under the radar as his game, but that isn't him. I am glad that this week is starting the put a spotlight on the real Dean. Even the HM on his side in all this is questioning his bullshit.

I just want Ali to confront Dean over the way he has approached this because I think she has a point. It was him who put Khaled with Marcello - he was originally with Sarah. But doing that, it did make it look like there was a hidden agenda, with those two being the only friends paired together, and people would automatically assume Ali was behind it as she had had confrontations with both.

Yes, but Ali did not stop him either. In fact, she made it way too clear that SHE couldn't do that as a thing.

She played him.

And that's probably why she won't confront Dean about it. Because, if she did, he'd just ask why she agreed with him at the time.

And he would be right to.

Rewatch that whole exchange if you get the time.

What is Dean's place in the house ?, other than to keep drifting from Ali to Hanah. He keeps stroking Ali's ego. She's the organ grinder and he's her monkey.

And why does it look like Dean is wearing the same clothes every day ?....like he got his suitcase nicked ,or are all his clothes the same :skull: .
