Adele is very clever, and her flirtations with Alex is a wonderrful insurance against eviction.

If she is up against anyone except Alex, then the Alex supporters will be forced to tactically vote her co-nominee out. If Adele is attached to Alex, then she will not nominate him so the theory goes. Keeping her in will be a tactical advantage to Alex.

There is of course an Adele v Alex clash, but as Alex has survived two public votes, the housemates may consider nominating him a wasted vote.

Ergo Adele is virtually fireproof.

You're right Sticks. I agree that Adele is playing the game really well. She should have gone on Survivor - she would have been excellent at making alliances!!

Some of the housemates do seem to be voting tactically and might not consider voting for Alex again. On the other hand, others seem to be voting for the people they would least like to be with in the house - e.g. Jonny and Kate.

I don't think Adele will be up for nomination, I think she will be around in the final group of 4 or 5 (whatevere they end up with) and will be voted out by getting less votes than some of the others who are still left.

Whatever!

But her "clever" tactics won't get her the £70,000 will it?

As seemingly one of the few people here that likes Adele, I hope Sticks is right.

Unfortunately, from reading the posts on this and other boards, it looks like she is the single, least favourite person in there.

I'm just hoping that - however unlikely - the viewing and voting public has a different view.

So James, what is it exactly you like about Adele I am fascinated because you seem to be the only person around who does, although I think I have read that Lee does too...do you Lee?
You say you like her but why?

[Amy]

I like Adele,altough my views change on here day to day, i think she's playing the game very well and as Sticks said she seems to be virtually fire proof but i don't think this will be enough for her to win

[Honey]

And her good points are...................

[steve_o]

I can't stand her, she's a nauseating little creep, she'll latch on to anyone if it make's her go further in the game.

[Zan]

I don't like her in any way.

[LEE]

As I have said in many other threads, I don't have a problem with Adele at all, and I think that all this stuff about her being two-faced is being blown out of all proportion.

I think she is very sensible and level headed, and I think I'd get on very well with her in real life.

I'm not saying I don't think she is playing the game at all, of course she is, but after all that is what she is there for, and I don't think she is worse than most of the others for that.

I know this is going to be an unpopular view, but I have never been one to change my view to the majority just for an easy life.

Don't throw too many bad eggs at me

PS: I suppose I should 'kill two birds with one stone', and admit that I like Tim as well.

[Amy]

I agree with you Lee i like Adele, altough i change my mind day to day, she is level headed and sensible

[James]

I think Adele is independent and intelligent.

As far as playing the game goes, so are the others. Some of them are able to hide it better though.

Also, I sympathise with her because of the criticism she is getting on the outside. I feel she might have a difficult time when she leaves the house even though she is nowhere near as bad as is made out.

I also don't have a problem with Tim who I think was predjudged because of his background.
