Day 16: Who will be the new House matriarch?



The dust had barely settled on Pauline’s departure before the housemates started to speculate as to the potential new dynamic.

With the lady of the House enjoying her first night of freedom, let’s take a look at the main candidates.

1. Helen



Never backward in coming forward, our straight talking Northern lass isn't afraid of confrontation. She was looking like a dead cert to rule the roost but past experience has told us that the way to housemates' hearts is through their stomachs. If Helen wants earn respect as well as be the boss, she might have to extend her culinary repertoire beyond peanut butter on toast.

2. Kimberly



She's allied herself with Helen and has spent the evening flitting between the housemates telling them she predicts big changes are on the horizon. Is Kimberly plotting to jump on Helen's power trip or is she masterminding her own takeover?

3. Toya



Will the new Power Housemate go down the same route as Pauline and let the position go to her head? If she ditches the dressing gown before midday tomorrow we'll know times are a-changing.

4. Jale



With her nemesis gone, Jale's strong presence in the house can surely only grow. She's already offered Christoper advice on how to deal with his nomination (echoes of Pauline's maternal methods) and told Marlon, "I don’t need to be bitchy or nasty. If people want to do that, it’s fine. I’m staying out of it." That's the way to do it, right?
