First we have Sara.

A nice girl that I personally really like. However, her being there has completely thrown Darnel, who was almost certain to win a few weeks back. His ramblings and moaning about her has made his biggest fans (including myself) back off a bit.

Secondly... Nicole.

Without knowing it, Nicole entering house has pretty much put Rachel right up with the favourites. Her presence has made Rex turn from a self-proclaimed asshole that is liked by some because of his charm, into a clingy, moany and irritating bully with no charm at all.

He has taken this attitude and projected it on to Rachel in a way that just isn't funny anymore. He was once a playful bully. Now he's just a bully. As people hate Rex more, they fall in love with whoever he hates...

This has coincided with Rachels recent boost in the polls and in the bookies by no coincidence. People want to defend Rachel. They do this by voting for her.

So there you have it. Darnel has pretty much lost it, paving the way for Rachel to rise to the top with a little help from Rex.

Don't ya just love psychology?
