Having watched the psychology show tonight, Stu seems a lot more relaxed and more like his normal fun self. I think he may win some votes this week now Michelle is not around to cramp his style!

[Sunny_01]

He does doesnt he - I think that he is relieved and possibly wishes that it had happened sooner

[jules]

mmm I think you my be right lol!!!!

[Mike]

I think Michelle should have gone at least a few weeks ago then we would have had chance to see alot more of Stu having fun.

[shellspeare]

he was very carefull what he said around michelle, now he's able to have more of a laugh

[Kore]

pity michelle didnt go sooner

I was quite amazed - Stuart does have a voice and can actually put a sentence together. He certainly doesnt seem to be pining for Michelle. He must feel so free after having her obsessive behaviour holding him back. Wonder if he will be having second thoughts about her.

I do hope though that people remember what a bore he has been throughout the rest of the programme - not having an opinion of his own and sitting very much on the fence. People say Dan is a fence sitter, but Stuart has been equally as bad.

Perhaps he has a personality after all.

[She Devil]

He hasn't had much emotion towards Michelles departure, unlike the burning of his hat. I wonder if she has been watching and is fuming about this. She may have a few words for poor Stu when he leaves.

''chicken why didn't you cry for me. You should of cried. Why didn't you?''

If you were in a game show missing friends and relatives for nine week I think you to would be more lively and perky knowing only a few more days to freedom and possible prize money considering you would still be there. Along with the knowledge a girl friend awaits on the outside.

It is also important for a contestant to remainn "Noticed" in order to increase chances of winning. He is still in a competition remember.....Helen Adams in BB2 got on with the show also (Laughing and joking about) but it didn't mean she was not missing Paul.....

As usual Michelle phobia haters love to read in to a situation more than there actually is......

[golden~rose]

i dont get it, if he feel free without michelle, then how can he not see it?? he's still says he misses her in the diary room, he confuses me!!!

[Sticks]

Stuart is an architypical clown (This is not in the derogatory sense)

By putting on a show of excessive positive emotion, he may mask a deeper side.

Clowns have been known to perform and make audiences laugh, yet inside were a turmoil of depression.

The classic case was Cocoa the Clown, who went to a doctor, without his makeup for treatment for depression. The doctor not knowing who he was, suggested he go and see a performance of Cocoa the Clown

I think Helen did cry for quite a while when Paul left and she fell out with most of the others because she wouldn't shut up about him which made it obvious how much she was missing him.I don't think Stuart has mentioned her once unless someone else has asked him about her.Which gives the impression that he doesn't miss her that much.
Unlike Helen sobbing at the window when Paul left he seemed thrilled to be freeas he was when she was put into the bedsit.
He even said the next morning what a nice atmosphere there was in the house which even if he did mean was down to it being the last week.I doubt Michelle would take it like that.
Its such a shame she didn't go sooner I think both of them would have been better apart.She was much more entertaining when she was in the bedsit and he's much better now she's gone.

There is nothing confusing about it at all xishax . You have to believe the evidence instead of ones own wishful thinking then all would become clear.....Honestly......

[golden~rose]

i think stu is overly emotional and a marshmellow inside.

[Sticks]

From the official site Missing You already

Stuart has described being in the House with just four other housemates as "sheer unbelievableness," in a chat with Big Brother.

"It's just amazing," he said. "I can't even use words to describe it. But I'll try... it's just bizarre."

After clearing that up, Big Brother asked him who he'd like to see return to the House - he answered Michelle - and about his friendship with her. "It's certainly more than a friendship," he said. "We're very close. Michelle is the most important person to me in here."

[bananarama]

I have come to the conclusion that Stu is a very cunning game player.

As Dan once said about Michelle in the diary room nominations. "No one can be that nice all the time"..he was right as time showed.

Same with Stuart no one can be that nice all the time. It's a well diciplined game plan The real Stuart remains unknown. even to Michelle. Michelle beware as the boot could be on the other foot when he is out and controlling you.

[golden~rose]

i just have a hard time trying to believe that stu is cunning. although he can be so dumb sometimes. but you cant call someone who has passed his a-levels with flying colours dumb can you??

Quite right Rach. She actually disappeared quite soon after Paul left into the diary room - this was never shown. I wonder why? The psychologists said she was showing the classic signs of lovesickness. Key symptoms - re-enactment (Helen went into the den - has Stuart gone into the snug?), the need to talk about and make sense of the relationship (Helen drove the others mad - Stuart doesnt seem to talk much about Michelle at all). It was said the person suffering from love sickness is likely to experience mood swings between elation and sadness. Stuart seems to have cheered up if anything.

[golden~rose]

aww bless her, i didnt know it was this bad for her when paul left

[chilledbootz]

Stuart mentions her quite a lot on the live feed. Obviously channel 4 won't show you that!!!!!. Also when her name is mentioned a little grin comes over his face. The boy has got it bad. But he is a boy!!!. I think if TH decide she's not the girl for Stu that will be it. His friends obviously mean everything to him.

[She Devil]

I think it would be very likely that team handsome will dicourage Stu in seeing her. Or at least they will tell him to get more of a back bone and stand up to her more.

[Sticks]

Do any other members of Team Handsome have any girl friends?

[kaphc]

I think Stu has been very clever in the way he's played the game. He managed to stay "in" with the Jungle Cats and the Harem, without offending anyone. Then, once Vanessa had gone, he also became closer to the "adults" Dan and Shell and well and got on with them.

Fair play to him, he's done well with that!

[golden~rose]

i just dont like stu. i also hope that his mates discourage him from having a relationship with michelle

[BusyBee]

Think Stuart is on tract for a 1st when he takes his final. He will certainly have plenty of research information to take back to his degree course. He has played the perfect game to stay in, but unfortunately (for him) there's is no way he will win. If he had stood up to Michelle and taken some control of the situation people would think more of him. He has no backbone and I think will be very much swayed by the feelings and thoughts of his family and friends. Michelle has a hard task on her hands to overcome them if they want him to dump her.
