In the early days I would have sympathised with Derek (and probably Roberto) abut the amount of idiots in the house, which is why I have no problem with Derek's scheming ways. I suppose if he was screwing with housemates I really like (and thats none this year, especially compared to previous years with Helen, Paul, Vic, Bubble, Tickle etc, maybe Makosi this year) then I might have a different view of his manipulation of people. But I dislike most of them as much as he does, do I'm quite happy to see Derek pulling the strings and playing the game in such a cold hearted way. The guy rocks! In real life I probably wouldn't like him at all (I'm definately not a tory and disagree with fox hunting and many of Derek's politics) but in the house he is the Master.
