We find his efforts entertaining, so we keep him in. He is succeeding DESPITE his game plan, not because of it.

You started off the sentence by saying it hasn't worked for him. You finish the sentence by saying he's survived and may even win.

Last time I looked that was defined as a contradiction.

Only because you jumped to conclusions!

Never mind, at least you know now.

Not really surprising when you see the adulation he commands on Forums like this and DS.

Just another Walter Mitty character.
He probably works for the hire company as a driver.

Exactly this, I think. Maybe that's why many find him endearing?

With Gina, it is a lot more calculated.

Im confused were did anyone say we gave a crap about his outside life??? In fact its the most tedious aspect of his character (false or otherwise) his stories about his exploits. BB is an entertainment show, and Dexter, fake or otherwise has been the most entertaining HM this year by a country mile. Involved in every major storyline more or less in some form or another, hes amusing at times, very aware of publics power over the house and most importantly can take criticism and bitching just as well as he gives it out.

He is the only winner this year regardless if he wins or not, I really couldnt care less what is and isn't true about his story it matters not a jot to me after day 1 of BB basically cause hardly anybody is ever like they say they are and if they are they are usually boring.

Don't know if its his or not, don't really care. He's still a vile creature either way.

Is that based on anything of substance or is it just an extreme way of saying you don't like him?

Substance? Since when did that come into play on here?

Would the voting public have as much interest in Dexter if we didn't know about his fakery?

I think it adds interest, not diminishes it.

All publicity garbage, no doubt set up by Dexter himself.....after all who would take photos of Dexter, when before moving into the house he was a complete unknown....oh apart from a publicity stunt that was again set up to promote the nightclub he was suppose to have spent all that money on Champers....

Dexter Koh (real or birth name Dexter Koh Siong Kiat) was born in 1985 (this is the only true part of his Biography)

DEXTER THE CHARISMATIC CHARMER.......AND CONMAN

Dexter is the most interesting person in the BIG BROTHER 14 House,and I have been intrigued with him since the start of Big Brother 14.His profile
video film shows him driving a modern Rolls-Royce motorcar,as part of his
playboy,Casanova Jet Set life style image.Some of Dexter's friends,including
his Mother,say that he's hardly got any money in the bank,and what money
he had was probably spent on hiring that Rolls-Royce for the day,and possiably paying certain people to pose as girlfriends,etc.
Nevertheless,I do have mixed feelings about him:A part of me thinks he is (A) a genuine,caring,friendly,helpful and charming housemate with a genuine desire to make friends,but another part of me thinks that he is (B) a bit heartless and ruthless.
However,I do think Dexter is rather more A than B,and Pam Spurr confirmed
Dexter's desire for love and friendship on last night's Big Brother's Bit On The Side programme last night.
Finally,other people have successfully (and harmlessly in at least some cases) conned their way in to better and long lasting lifestyles.And if Dexter
is using Big Brother as a springboard to further a more fruitful lifestyle for himself.......well all power to him and well done Dexter!

I do not think Dexter will win Big Brother 14 (shame) -I hope he does!
Sam might just win - he does not to deserve to win:Sink HMS Sam.Sink! BB7's Glynn Wise is far more interesting than Sam.
The only other person that I can see winning is Gina But I've got mixed feelings for her.......now if she was more like the great BB9 winner,Rachel,the negative part of my feelings would turn in to positive feelings!

KADENACY.

UN-QUOTE.

Kadenacy is objectively right in generally every respect

Dexter has been on a personel journey in the Big Brother 14 House in order
improve himself and,indeed,if Big Brother leads on to success for Dexter after
his part in this programme-series ends,it will be a well-deserved double victory for him - it might even be a triple victory because he might even win Big Brother!

The famous comedian and actor,Peter Sellers,conned the BBC in to giving him a job,which it did,and this acted as a launchpad for his career

Dexter is probably doing the same basic thing as Peter Sellers did
There is nothing wrong in that.So with these facts in mind,I wish all the best to Dexter

But Dexter,although he might not be as talented as Peter Sellers (in the acting and comedy departments at least),he is a charismatic man with a TALENT for self-promotion,hence the hired Rolls-Royce,pre-publicity,outlandish stories and so on.He may also have other talents that we do not know about as yet,he might be able to play the piano for example.

Sam is a nice guy,but Dexter is a far more interesting,colourful and charismatic person than Sam in reality.Dexter is also a slick and clever operator

I don't mind what he does on the outside. I like him, because he's the most entertaining housemate in there. And a nice guy as well deep down. Dexter to win!

The big difference between Gina's and Dexter's fakery is that the housemates know Dexter is talking crap. He admits it himself to an extent and it is a source of amusement.

But they swallow Gina's story hook line and sinker.
