Just like BB2, when Brian, Dean and Elizabeth conspired to break up the lovers, Paul and Helen, it has happened again. It proves that history does repeat itself.

On this occasion, the big baddies are Jade, Jonny and Kate, who have split up the lovers Alex and Tim.

However, this years lovers are less sporting that last years, and rather than shaking hands with their fellow contestants, and understanding that "you have to nominate someone", this year's lovers retreated to the bedroom, where they indulged in their usual intimate whinging and moaning, (although Alex first did a couple of laps of the garden muttering "Alex... and Tim" repeatedly).

Each was talking about walking. Alex sooner, Tim was saying that in the very unlikely event that he survives and Alex goes, he will walk out Saturday (another good reason to vote Alex out). At one point, I kid you not, they were gazing into each other's eyes and Alex said "Tim..." and Tim said "Alex..."!

They lamented the departures of PJ (who they seem convinced would have preferred them to Kate and Jonny), Spencer and Adele. Tim said that he expected Alex to stay, and that he would win it, but Alex said it would not be worth it if he had to share with "those three monkeys".

So, unlike last year, the two lovers have not taken it as philosophically, and are not going to make the most of the time they have left.

Assuming Tim leaves Friday, will he be waiting for Alex at the gate next week? Will he "look so different" (I hope so!)? Will he have gifts in abundance to present during Davina's interview?

It's such a shame they don't have a Den this year....
