Is Rex close to boiling point?

Early this evening Nicole tried to help Rex prepare dinner for the housemates but as he took control in the kitchen tempers flared. It all started with a simple chat about food for the post-eviction party on Friday.

"There's no point talking to me, I won't be here" sulked Nicole.

"Stop being so negative Nicole" said Rex.

"There's no point lying to myself" she told him.

Mo naturally tried to calm things down by talking about his favourite subject: food.

"Did you ask Big Brother about changing the sandwiches?" he asked Rex.

"Yeah. They might give us something really disgusting now" answered Rex.

"Like ox's tail" Nicole grimaced.

"Oxtail is beautiful" chef Rex told her.

"I hate it" she said.

"Oh, you hate everything Nicole. You hate everything" sighed Rex.

"I hate you" she said.

"You hate me? That's nice" said Rex.

"It's a joke" claimed Nicole, retreating to the sofa.

But from the way Rex started banging his equipment around we'd say he wasn't seeing the funny side. Gordon Ramsay eat your heart out.
