Luke S is, least in his own head, an Alpha male. The guy could bench press nearly everyone left in the house.

But are we really to believe that a woman, over half his size, by herself, has destroyed his ego, in a couple of days? By pointing out that he DID press the button TOO LATE. And that he has a FREE pass to the final night?

Deana had to take on the majority of the house, single handly, and she did it with her head held high. She is now again, single handly, facing off with the so called Alpha male. And he’s the one crying.

This isn’t about bullying. Like everything in BB, its about a clash of ego’s and personalities. Luke S is used to being “the man”, he’s used to woman fawning over him. He’s admitted that his plan was to go into the house, hook up with someone and make it to the final. He’s achieved his goal and taken his top off more times than can be counted.

But at the back of the guys mind there has to be a few niggly doubts. He got neutral boo’s from the crowd, which would tell a HM that they aren’t liked, but no one really cares enough to make an effort. Compared to the other HMs that have been saved multiple times and compared to the cheers for Sara, I’d imagine that he knows he’s not going to win. Also he knows he's in an obvious showmance, they have both have admitted it. He knows that Conor *****ed him over, not that most would blame him – it was an easy 50 grand.

For the past couple of months Luke S has been surrounded by yes-men with the same goals and opinions. He's been safe. Now that bubble has been stripped away, there are only few days left and he’s finding Deana smilling at him and waving, someone not afraid to voice their opinion.

As for Deana, she has had a tough time in the house. The end is in sight and two of the “biggest” HM’s are gone and she’s finally free. This is not a girl who has buckled, but someone who has bounced.

How often, in other series, have we watch amateur dramatics in the DR, people crying about wanting to go home. But that has never been Deana. After weeks of people being nasty to her, she is standing up to the BIGGEST guy in the house. And not by being mean, just pointing out the truth.

There is a woman with real strength and intelligence.
