I think it is obvious to all of us that the rich/poor divide is unpopular with the public and the housemates.

However, the housemates have done as they are told, and obeyed up to now.

Thing is, though, that they don't have to. Two housemates have already walked out, Lee threatened to do so if not evicted, and others have mumbled similar things.

Spencer and Kate got a "strike" for open defiance, but if the housemates had a "leader" and enough bottle to openly defy the bars, they could not throw them all out. They just would not have a show.

If the housemates stopped bitching about each other, and discussed things, they could come to this conclusion. Until the housemates realise this, it is their own fault!
