Dexter is very manipulative and Sam had him eating out of his hand tonight and was bonus points for Sam.... however to suddenly find your voice after 7 weeks is a little bit annoying.
Gina came out well tonight....apart from Hazel she has been quite fair in her opinions.
Hazel looked a proper bitch tonight....Charlie saying that they plan to share a flat together shows how much she has fallen hook line and sinker for Hazel who clearly has no loyalty towards Charlie. I know Charlie is gullible but I almost feel sorry for the fact that she has been taken in by Hazels manipulation.

Not that it matters though, I'm sure he'll get 'sympathy' votes regardless just by default as being the only one in the house with a disability...

It's just the way it is...

Not sure I would use the word sympathy - but he was treading a fine line on LF a couple of weeks ago name checking Pete Bennett, Mikey Hughes and Steve ? (the ex soldier) - with the emphasis firmly placed on "representing" and how well they had all done previously.

Everyone seems to forget that he knows the complete story of how all the disabled contestants fared and who placed first and second.

Not a mention of Sam on the board for weeks.

Funny how Dexter fans suddenly want to bash Sam since Callum isn't around anymore lol.

It doesnt matter about past weeks, its a game show,.with each eviction housemates have to adapt and change their gameplan. Dexter and Gina have been my favourites, but as i said earlier I was concerned that Callum leaving would cause quite a big upset and Dexter or Gina would overplay their hand. And Dexter did tonight. See Ive liked Sam from the beginning he appears the most normal. I realised it must be hard work to communicate in their because everyone is self obsessed and talks over eachother, thats exhausting for a hearing impaired person to deal with. They have to deal with listening to the pronunciation of themselves and others, so I have found him fascinating to watch. Callum leaving has made it apparent how little effort some of the housemates had made with Sam, but it was nice to see new friendships form. I like Sam he has loyalty. And tonight there was no messing he stepped up and said it straight out, no flaffing took the bull by the horns. When someone does that to people that have been gameplaying they have no defense, it was honest and can only
expose those around him. See I didnt want Dexter to go up against Sam because in the recent exchanges between Sam and him, Sam's arguement is direct and honest and will be the downfall of any housemate in there.. See Gina has bonded with Sam, because others refer to him as a boy, or the guy with the disability, but watching the way Sam handles confrontation he is very much a man, and not to be underestimated.

Still its one night and all to play for..as for people talking about editing the twins said that Dexter goes on about business and media all the time, and Hazel said that Gina talks about designer clothes and hotel in mayfair. If that was the case I dont think they'd be my favourites.

He definitely started this series with the odds stacked in his favour...

I think that's evident considering he's favourite to win at this point and really hasn't done very much. Everyone always talks about gameplay but I haven't seen anyone call Sam out on being a gameplayer yet. Which I find odd. Until 2 days ago he slept all the time and essentially said next to nothing. Since then, and since the Callum eviction, he's miraculously awaken and is calling people out, even picking an argument with Sophie over comments she made two weeks ago. I'm sure his fans will say that he's just a nice guy and its all coincidence, but it feels very strategic to me.

There was nothing 'miraculous' about it. He has spoken up to Dexter on a couple of occasions now. The two arguments tonight were because of BB's involvement, putting him in the safe house to listen to what people were saying. You could see him getting gradually more riled up by what he was hearing. Seemed a perfectly organic thing to me.
