Derek wound Kemal up into confronting Orlaith, and his face when Kemal finally did confront her showed just how much he was loving it. This is why I have gone off Derek so much. He sows his poison and sets people up for arguments, then sits back and enjoys watching the misery that he has caused. I can almost imagine him plotting and rubbing hands together in glee at the thought of who his next victim will be.

That's been his tactic all along. I think we are seeing more of that now because he gets more coverage on the highlights show. It's how he sets people up to do his dirty work and avoids nominations in the house. It's all part of his game plan.

Derek is being really clever in my opinion, he works at setting the arguments up and then sits back and watches.

[Scuzz]

True it is clever, but like now the public are relising. Even though his tactics will prevent him getting nominated, being in the final four the public will get rid

[Red-is-the-future]

What do people think of him?

I think he is a **** stirrer, and definately manipulates people against each other. Kemal and Makosi have fallen out, haven't they? Or did they kiss and make up today? I'm not sure. That was Dereks fault. I think all the arguements that have occured are dereks fault.

Derek is playing the game very well, he is very good at talking other housemates into arguing with other housemates and then he just sits back and watches taking him out the lime light for nominations.

[Red-is-the-future]

The housemates are too thick to realise. I hope someone realises and pounces. Someone eventually pounced on Makosi.

This is exactly why I like Derek so much. He's working over the housemates one at a time and is doing a great job. Even when Science had tried to foil his plans by revealing what Derek had said about people, Derek has still managed to turn it round so that there are others in the house much more likely to get the nominations.

Actually feeding lines last night to Kemal was brilliant to see. And Kemal basically repeated verbatim what Derek had told him. Dominik Diamond on BBBM compared him to Iago from Othello and he was spot on.

And it was good to hear he got some cheers from the crowd on friday night, but unfortunately I can't see him being a winner. He could be in the final four, but won't have the support to win it.

derek is clever

Agreed about Derek (but I think he could win it).

Derek is so good at getting his point out of the others mouths - sly yes but not like the other one (Markosi) - he doesn't resort to lies to get the others thinkings about nominations.

What a great guy.

Science got wise to him weeks ago, but nobody ever listens to him, let the fools get played like fools while Derek just sit's back and laughs.
