I know I wanted Alex to stay in the house, and I'm really pleased that he did, but ......... I'm also bitterly disappointed that Spencer has been evicted. Does that make sense? Probably not.
What I'm trying to say is that although I preferred Alex, I really didn't want either of them to be evicted so early on. There were much better candidates for eviction this week - PJ springs to mind, also Sophie. But it was the housemates' decision, and I bet Jonny in particular is feeling gutted just now.
I'm sure there'll be cries of vote rigging, but I'm not so sure. Remember Pop Idol, where Gareth was the 'dead cert' to win according to the press and the bookies? Whereas all along the public actually put Will ahead of him most of the final weeks, and voted him the deserved winner.
What I'm trying to say, I suppose, is that although Spencer had the more vocal fan club, Alex's fans have rallied to support him when he really needed it.
So genuine comiserations to Spencer (it should have been PJ!)....... but......
Well done, Alex!
