Is It Just Me Who Read Dexter's Reaction Differently Then?
 

Now don't get me wrong, he may well of been gutted. Hell who wouldn't be if they thought for a brief second they won 88k only to be told otherwise. But after a brief look online there are alot of people who seemed to think he was over the moon and then crushed when the twist was revealed and that it's "great how he looked all gutted,Sam to win. He Good lad xx". Was it just me then who read it the complete other way around? He may well be a good actor, because he wasn't looking very pleased to have won the money and had to leave from the second he had to open his suitcase. In fact the only sign of happiness he really showed throughout was when he was granted immunity..idc:

EDIT: Oh yeah. Here is the vid, just in case you have not seen it...

I think he chose a high number, not wanting to win -- probably expecting the others to drop down as low as 50K. Then he had mixed emotions - leaving, but taking 88K with him. The only thing that concerned me was his hesitation in choosing Sophie - was he really considering putting Gina up?

He was gutted! totally gutted! :joker:
He was like a stunned mullet when the twist was announced, he must have been thinking 'feck, how am I going to explain this one'?

The poor guy even said Thank God after it was announced he wasn't getting the money

Was there any relief washing over his face?.... No.
He was trying to save face literally.
Prior to the announcement notice how he has to force himself not to smile.

Felt really sorry for him at the time.

But watching it back can't stop laughing.

Watch his eyes go like mad when Big Brother says "However.... " ! :laugh:

Actually got a lot of respect for how he said he'd take a payoff and he followed it through.

Well seeing you asked I'll post what I said on another thread:

He pretended to look gutted but his true feelings showed whenever BB said 'however this is a lie'. Watch his eyes when this is said. They dart about in panic. That is a clear giveaway that he knows he has gambled and lost and he's ****ting himself that someone else is going to get the money. But who? who? Judy James will have a field day with this one - mark my words.
This is further confirmed when he can't hide his relief at being told he was the 'least greedy' (lol) and he was safe from eviction.
Dexter has damaged himself with the public with this one. In the video, it is perfectly clear that there were at least 3 numbers in the 90k region still left. There could have been more - his body hides part of the board.
Oh Dexter - I thought you were okay, but no more. If you had admitted you had wanted to walk with the money I'd have more respect for you.

Jet what do you think of this theory about the choosing of the amounts on the board?....

I've got it, there were 100 random figures BUT all whole 1000's were there.

£1
£860
£1'350
£2'650
£3'990
and so on ....
£96'660 gone
£97'850
£98'200
£99'000 gone
£100'000 gone

My guess is this will have become apparent to dexter very quickly to count back to find which figure was not represented on the board.

He has to think a little before he comes up with, "thank God". ;)

He shoulda been the next Doctor Who after a performance like that.

To be fair you got the impression that he would in a previous chat with Charlie and Hazel.

Hazel said she would take a payoff, Charlie said she wouldn't (fair play to her) to which Dexter appeared to be shaking his head in disbelief.

Still will always be a good housemate though.

Ohh right...just an assumption that he was gutted then.

If one more person mentions the word assumption I will open the biggest can of whoopass! :devil:

Is it a fair assumption you arent pleased? :p

You have to remember that he knows hes on TV in front of millions of people.

Absolutely right. It wouldn't have taken long to work out that £96,660 was the lowest taken.
Even if, under stress, he didn't manage that, there was clearly still several 90k's still on the board, anyone watching the vid can see that in a flash - so he knew none of them had been taken - yet he chose to take the lower 88k.

Wait? Dexter and the twins didn't take the highest prize off the board? I've spent the last couple hours defending them all? They're dicks!

Charlie was the only one who came out with any credit.

I think you're spot-on Leon!:thumbs:

He didn't want to take the money and was looking gutted because he thought he was about to be evicted! Obviously the haters will see it from as negative a viewpoint as they possibly can (no change there!) though.:bored:

I'm chuffed to bits (as he was) that he's now been removed from the eviction line-up and he's joining Gina in the final.
It was just karma righting some wrongs, putting all of those who deserve to be up for eviction in their correct places and making sure the people who'd provided the most entertainment and contributed the most to the series in general were guaranteed their well deserved places in the final!!!!! Woot, woot!!!!:hugesmile:

Finally a twist that turned out good!!! :dance:

Dexter was obviously acting.

"However, Dexter will not be receiving the money"

"Thank God"

Its not a natural reaction. Also the twist was if you choose the lowest amount you will receive it and be evicted, with BB revealing that your first thought would be "Did I just get screwed over and about to be evicted with no money?".

..I agree Leon, I would have taken the money I don't think there are many people who wouldn't and with only a few days to go they're all already had the BB experience so to have that and also such a large amount of money as well would be something just too good to turn down...having said that, I think he looked relieved that it was all a lie because I think this whole thing about taking cash and not being in the final would make it a bit of a hollow decision as well...

..I also think it was quite revealing of Charlie that she tried to make him look bad because she was deemed to be greedy by BB in choosing the higher amount, and I think her conversation with Dexter was less about him choosing the lowest amount and more about letting the public know that she had chosen because of selfless reasons which I don't believe she did, I think her selflessness is quite calculated..but I guess it's just her gameplan as everyone has one...

Its hilarious that look of despair when he realises its not payday.
He might well win the show anyway but he lost the game as a whole and that makes me happy.
I dont like nasty scum.

If he wins the £100k it will mean nothing to him he can earn that dancing in his knickers and suspenders anyway.
What he really wanted was to be seen as a nice guy and he didnt achieve that by any stretch of the imagination.
He has already lost.
Last night he finally exposed his greedy dirty side to the last few people that didnt already see it.

I'm sure Dexter would be devastated if he knew you felt that way Bob!:bawling:

He'll probably still be wiping away the tears when he's going to the bank to withdraw his £100 Grand!!!! :laugh:

One minute you claim his whole persona and story has been an act but then you're reveling in the fact that you believe he'll be gutted at not being seen as a nice guy.............so you now believe that bit wasn't an act do you ? It's hard to keep up. Flip-Flop, flip-flop...........:hugesmile:

Your post doesnt make sense hun i think you are confused.

❉ I dont know him love and he doesnt know me so its very doubtful he will be thinking about my post.

❉ The £100k is a round of drinks to him.

❉ When did i claim his persona was a story dont let your blind love for a wankmonkey of a boy get me confused with things other people have posted on here.

❉ 42

❉ cheer up cupcake he will probably win the show :xyxwave:
