Isn't Gina the perfect antidote to the boring housemates? Whether she's dropping bombs on the other housemates or being sentimental over them, she makes us laugh. She's absurd but funny. Charlie was born to play the pantomime victim and she was very at home being picked on and shedding a few tears. There's something about Charlie I like but you can't ignore the gaffs and the fact that whatever happens, she seems incapable of feeling embarrassment or genuine hurt. In other words she's indifferent to everything but reacts because she knows a reaction is expected of her. She was indifferent to Callum and Dexter but probably realised that Dexter was playing the Dog in the Manger and so went along with it. Callum was driven mad because he was losing and not clever enough to recognise what was going on.

None of this makes Gina/Charlie/Dexter particularly nice but it makes for entertainment. Hazel isn't particularly nice either but she fails to entertain us. As for last night's shenanigans, it was all a lot of posturing and acting, with Gina corpsing into laughter at the whole dog show. Hazel was just pissed off because I think she's had enough of it all now.
