So, Does Charlie Have A Gameplan?

Ten weeks in, and we're starting to get really suspicious about Charlie's gameplan now...

We were just looking back at some old stories and came across this one from Week 2, where last year's Runner-up Mikey Hughes dubbed the Geordie housemate a 'fake' and suggested that he's the biggest game-player in the Big Brother House.

Despite the fact that Charlie came across as a chirpy character at first, it wasn't long before he was instigating pranks that would humiliate or upset his peers, something that he has continued to do throughout the series.

Remember when he made Freddie hide in a faux game of hide-and-seek, and cruelly failed to look for him? Or when he soaked Angel with a water bomb just for a laugh, and made her cry?

The former Mr Gay UK contestant has shown other signs of nastiness over the past ten weeks too, having aligned himself to Lisa's lot and stuck by the ailing clique before Bea and Sophie bolstered its numbers by changing sides – if you recall, they both supported Marcus a couple of weeks back.

Over the past few days there's been plenty of friction in the House, mainly surrounding Freddie and Bea, but Charlie has started having lots of uncharacteristic 'I really like you' type conversations and little parting hugs with the likes of Bea and Marcus, even though he nominated the latter at the most recent round.

The 22-year-old was siamesed to Bea last night and never left her side, seemingly snubbing potential boyfriend Rodrigo. Indeed, he has pretty-much become Bea's lapdog recently, and is always nothing less than sickeningly sycophantic towards her.

So, we can't work him out; is Charlie genuinely just trying to please everyone, has he fallen in with the wrong crowd, or does he have a gameplan to avoid nominations? Frankly, the latter wouldn't surprise us, given that one of his ex's said he was unemployed for ages and only got a job in-order to help his chances of getting-on Big Brother. So, he's not as stupid as he makes out, and can think forward.

Charlie said before he arrived that he didn't have a gameplan and just wanted to be himself in the House, but is that what he's doing? And whatever he's doing, is it working?
