I do not think I am being manipulated particularly if I choose to vote for Alex.
I am not at all sure who my vote will go to this week.
Last year I desperately wanted Helen to win, against the odds and the hype. Although I know Brian was a talented stand out character, I thought Helen had been completely herself and thoroughly deserved it
This year there is not the same set up at all. I don't dislike any of the four desperately. Jade is unlikely to win unless there is a massive media campaign on her behalf. She will however be 'massive' on the same lines that Helen was last year. She will make a lot of money, and appear in every newspaper and magazine.
Jonny is a nice lad, I wouldn't mind him winning, but he doesn't inspire me.
Kate and Alex are for me neck and neck at the moment.
I don't understand the hatred and strong dislike which some people have for him. He's eccentric, but he isn't cruel.
I certainly didn't see his outburst at Jade as particularly cruel. She had driven him more and more insane. She drove them all insane to be fair, and I felt really sorry for Kate and Jonny when she came at them like a banshee as they emerged from the diary room. I am a placid type, but I think my hands would have been round her throat, or I would have stuck that pointy finger she was jabbing in their faces where the sun don't shine.
Alex is odd, he's very entertaining, and unfortunately for him he has been easily led, by Sandy, Adele, and the ghastly Tim. Why? Because he is used to doing as he is bid by outspoken, opinionated parents.
He does make me laugh. He's in with a chance of my vote
Kate is a good lass too. She doesn't inspire me either, but I like her. She has been assisted in popularity immensely by losing Spencer early on. She would not have stood a chance if he had stayed another couple of weeks. Spencer and PJ had it all sewn up, two great lads together, and they affected everyone else.
Kate is in with a better chance of getting my vote than Jonny.
But the jury is still out for me
I'll make my own mind up, thanks very much!
