I do not mean the show. I mean with the housemates. I am going to give you 4 things that were brought up about him last night, and I want people to give me something he could have done in the situation that would not have pissed the housemates off in some way and gained the house whipping boy a bit more whipping.

1) The 88k thing. I am not even going to attempt to defend it or anything as none of us know what he was thinking or why he did what he did. However

With Charlie going last, had Dexter picked the highest amount available to him, this would have forced Charlie to have the lowest amount by default. And this would have seen her evicted. She said she didnt want the money, nor did she want to be evicted.

Lets assume the save and replace twist didnt happen, in the interests of this thread. As the housemates had no idea that the twist was that (even though they did think there was a twist to it)

Do you think the housemates would have applauded Dexter for effectively sending Charlie home and remaining in the house himself?

Even with the save and replace twist going ahead, I cant see Charlie being happy at ALL about being the (default) lowest. It would have somehow been Dexters fault, and she would not have wanted to pick one of the others to replace her..and she would no doubt have thought out that if the twist hadnt happened, she would have been leaving the house. No doubt whinged that dex didnt throw her a lifeline or something similar.

To win with the housemates in this situation..what should he have done?

2) The night everyone ganged up on Charlie.

Dexter spent a lot of this night in the diary room. After spending time talking to her in the bedroom while the rest all slagged her off. BB called Dexter to the diary room solely to see the kickoff IMO, as Charlie at that point went to talk to the others.

When he came back from the diary room, she was mid-argument with Hazel. Hazel did have a point tbh..though the way they all ganged up was not nice to watch at all.

Dexter could have disagreed with what Hazel was saying (as what she was saying was true), however, just because he likes Charlie, does this mean he should stand up for her no matter what..even if he agreed with what Hazel was saying? Had he done this, in my opinion they would have turned on him, and the whole thing would somehow have ended up being his fault, and part of his gameplan.

Dexter could have told them to chill out a bit. But again, it would be twisted into him getting involved in something that was nothing to do with him. And they wouldn't have listened anyway.

To win with the housemates in this situation...What should he have done?

3) The current Charlie relationship

Yup. This one seems easy, shouldnt have got involved in the first place(which I agree with). But thats not an option as this is about what he could do now

Keep going as he is. Despite Charlie bitching about it to anyone who will listen about it just being a gameplan?

Cool off. Which would mean..to the housemates and charlie..that he doesnt have feelings, and it was just a gameplan all along?

4) Last night, Sam decided that Dexter NOT saying bad things about him was a gameplan.

Should he start slagging off Sam and insulting him? Even though he doesnt want to? Just to not be accused of having a gameplan? I dont suspect that would work anyway, as if he randomly started going mental at Sam...it would be a gameplan too I would think

Or should he just remain as he has been. And be accused of it being a gameplan?

This is in no way a defence thread. I'm not even going to attempt it because I cant really defend any of this as I dont know what was going through his head at any of these times. Also defending his actions is pointless, as those who like him will agree and those that dont will disagree, no matter what is said.

I just want to know if anyone can think of what he could have done in these situations. As I cant see anything he could have done that wouldnt piss off the house or make out he has another gameplan

Basically I am sick of saying things like 'the guy cant win'. when things happen. And I would like to know if there is anyway he could
