At least she has never embarrassed herself or her family and never hogged the airtime - she has just got on with everyone and she seems to have really enjoyed her experience. Hopefully, the experience will help her mature a little as she is still enormously child-like (or that's how she has been edited). The fake tan was the funniest thing on TV this year and she won a place in everyone's hearts as a result. I hoped she would win the rowing task - she has said before that she can be determined when she wants to be. I just wish she had not said she never washed her sheets...it conjured up a bit of a horrible image didn't it?

I think Jem had had enough of the task and wanted to quit as Alex didn't look like she was going to quit anytime soon. Everyone expected Jem to win it and I think in order for Jem to save face she acted like she was doing Alex some sort of favour by quitting. And in turn taking some of the credit from Alex for winning it.

Yeah was a shock to me actually.

I disliked how Jem made out that she was throwing the task though, was quite obvious she just couldnt be arsed anymore. Why not just let Alex have her victory without pretending that she let her win?

Yes - I take your point.

Say what you want about Alex, but a few of the housemates have said it before and clearly it's true, but, whatever she sets her mind to do, she does.

I'm proud of her! She shows everyone that when it boils down to it, she's not just the little naive barbie girl people believe her to be.

I thought that too and noticed how jem stumbled when she stood up and waddled over to alex.Alex was talking about rowing until 5am and i think jem bottled it.

I don't think Jem did it out of kindness she was being patronising and controlling as she is with Faye.

I believe she also wanted Alex and Tom on side before impending evictions. We've seen what a manipulator she is.
