I didn't see the 99k, was his first lie, I thought someone would take the £1 was his second then what followed was a confusing account of lucky number crap about 4,s and 8,s.

The trouble is that the small man syndrome has been with him for so long, he feels compelled to lie or cheat in everything he does. His persona is despicable and it does not matter whether he wins, looses or draws, he will never be successful in life and a vote to secure his win is a vote to promote deception for someone who has played a good game but more importantly has played the public and that is just simply wrong. IMO

Not absolute certainty though is it. The housemates didnt know they all had the same board..could have been changed. Also they all thought there was a twist to what BB said. They were right.

Nothing was certain.

Why didn't BB simply ask them to WRITE DOWN THE AMOUNT instead of asking them to remove the card. That way we would have seen the true answers. BB messed it up now they got what they wanted, controversy. Had someone have chosen 15k they would be out the door and the others left to fight it out, UNLESS IT WAS DEXTER WHO THEY NEED IN THE FINAL FOR PERSONAL FINACIAL GAIN ON THE VOTES.. The choosing of 88k made them change their minds once again showing they haven't got a clue how to run a show.

Don't need endless amounts of diatribe to convince ourselves. We are the lucky ones.:hugesmile:

As each HM came into the room one by one, the amount they had chosen disappeared from the board. Sam chose 100k - it was blacked out. The twins would have seen the 100k was gone and they chose 96 something K. Which means they also were trying for the money if the 2 to come after them went higher. The amount they took was then blanked out. With me so far?

Dexter came next and although there was still 99k left, and 4 or 5 other amounts in the 90k range, he chose 88k. Now, if he had really wanted to stay, why didn't he chose the highest number still available? He said he didn't see the 99k, which of course he waffled around, but what about the other numbers in the 90k range? Didn't he see ANY of them?
Then he changes his story and says he thought someone would take a £1. Immediately you can see he regrets digging an even deeper hole for himself.

When the amounts are revealed, he acts as if he is upset. Then when BB says, 'However, Dexter will not receive the money' his eyes dart about in a panic. A few moments pass and he says' thank god'. Why would he say that if he thought he was going to be leaving with nothing? BB hadn't told him he was safe yet. Didn't he say he wanted to stay?

Then comes the relief when he finds out he is safe from eviction and the tears were a genuine reaction to that and not because he had to pick a HM to evict.

He gave 3 different explanations as to why he didn't pick 99k - 1st to Charlie, 2nd to Sam and 3rd to Charlie again.

Why didnt Charlie pick crafty 5 or 10 grand.Shes going anyway and no one would have begruded her a nice little parting gift.Would have saved her for tonight as it turned out.

Dexter did say at the end of the latest show:"You can't do right for doing wrong in this house".

1.No one has mentioned,at least in the posts that I have read and seen,that when Dexter was trying to choose what amount of money to go for,he said ALOUD that wanted to pick an amount that represented good luck and increased his chances of staying in the house - hence he picked £88,800.

2.And since Dexter is partly of Chinese descent,he chose £88,800 for the following reasons:-
WIKIPEDIA:-In Chinese culture[edit source]

Further information: numbers in Chinese culture

Number 88 symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture, since the word 8 sounds similar to the word Fā (发, which implies 发财, or wealth, in Mandarin or Cantonese). The number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture, and prices in Chinese supermarkets often contain many 8s. The shape of the Chinese character for 8 (八) implies that a person will have a great, wide future as the character starts narrow and gets wider toward the bottom. The Chinese government has been auctioning auto license plates containing many 8s for tens of thousands of dollars.

__________________________________________________ _______________

2.With respect,Sam,although he is probably a nice guy more or less,is also crude at times and is currently behaving like a pillock towards Dexter,because he is jealous to death of Dexter being in the final.Plus the fact that he was fed anti-Dexter propaganda by that other pillock,his best friend in the BB house,Callum! Again,Callum is also probably a nice guy,but he was being overly-nice in Big Brother and came across as a creep.

3.The twins,Jack and Joe,are also jealous to death of Dexter,because Dexter is clever,smart,charismatic - and he's in the Big Brother final!.......provided that Big Brother doesn't change the plan with another twist and/or lie.......
Dexter did say in the latest programme that he is not 100% sure IF HE IS IN the Big Brother Final! Whats more,Jack and Joe asked Big Brother twice would they actually be getting the amount of money that they picked.

4.I've said it before,and I'll say it again,Dexter is a bit of a conman,but he is also a likeable rogue and probably a decent guy at heart,who is trying to better himself - people like Robin Hood,Ronnie Biggs,etc,are thought of as heroes and likeable rogues.It must be stressed that Dexter is not a criminal,he just using Big Brother to further his life for the better,he's a game player - many other housemates are too - all is fair in love and war,and Big Brother is a game show as well as a social experiment.And Sam probably is also a game player,who wants to win Big Brother and the £100,000 prize money!

5.Dexter has been the most interesting housemate in the Big Brother house,and he deserves to win the Big Brother show-programme!:hugesmile::dance::hugesmile::hugesmile:
