Default Not getting the Dexter Love...sorry but hes useless

What has Dexter done of ANY significance?

Whats this weird obsession people have with him.

Saying that he should be the only one with the safehousepower because hell make the most of it is ridiculous.

Hes a wimp, he never expresses any opinions.

People seemed to have latched onto him because hes an outsider.

At least Deana last year had fire in her belly Dexter just rolls over and takes whatever the housemates throw at him

Hes resilient sure but he offers nothing to the house in the way of Drama. He has no real personality and anytime he has been in a position of power hes failed on all counts to make use of it.

Hes pretty useless.

Dexter has been the main character in every HL show .
He has had a whole house nominated him,tell him they hate him ,he's a snake,isolate him and he took it in his stride.
I enjoy watching him and Gina interact and join forces against the radar dodgers when it comes to noms.
He is the only Hm that has tried to shake the house up and expose some of the deadwood.
I find him honest and a breath of fresh air compared to most in there.
He also doesn't kiss ass.
And I don't need to make you understand why I like Dexter

It might not be of any significance to you, but he's been involved in plenty of the drama since launch, whether that makes him a good person or a bad one is down to opinion.


The fact he's been involved in most things is the reason why I would love to lose Sam, Daley, Charlie, Callum and possibly Sophie over Dexter.

He has manipulated everyone in that house at least once into reacting or revealing in a way counter to their own best interests in the house, and done so in a way that looks entirely innocuous.

The primary reason the twins don't like him (aside from Wolfy telling them and doing as she says) is that he makes them feel stupid. The other hm's aren't much different, they say creepy or snakey, but what they really mean is they leave a conversation with him knowing something just happened, but they don't know what. You can clearly read it on their faces.

It's a delicate balance, and entirely likely he may end up letting Gina see too much of it in the safe house, totally destroying his game, but barring that, he'll have blindsided that entire house to the final before they realize what's hit them.

This.

He's more subtle than he thinks. He plants seeds, tells white lies and half truths and generally gets under the HM's skin without being threatening or aggressive. I can easily see why the HM's hate him but to me he's doing what 90% of BB contestants say they're gonna do in the house. He's stirring things up and winding them up without being nasty or horrible. He's a great HM.

He's genuinely one of the greatest BB Housemates of all time.

And i mean genuinely in terms of being on a gameshow and not being a utter muppet like Nikki (and flailing her arms and whatever bollocks some people like).

Dexter doesn't need good diary room visits or some outburst of silly drama.

This guy is the epitome of entertainment and is the saviour of this series.

The fact there are so many ****e HM's this series has been counter-balanced by Dexter, that just shows how strong he has been.

Because let's be honest, there's not much strength in depth in this series, and without Dexter it could possibly be a boring series.

Let me guess you're a fan of housemates like Nikki and Jack and Joe.

Basically every argument converges on him, despite him doing very little to provoke it. He's a complete catalyst.

Times he has pro-actively done things worth noting include telling Dan he wrote that anonymous note, calling out Hazel, telling Callum he thought he was too nice, finding the Tennis ball and making a deal out of it.

But yes, it's more things happen to him rather than due to him.
