Tozzie I don't hate him, in fact I don't hate anyone on the show because they are puppets for our amusement but I do love to stand alone and argue the toss with people who view people like Dexter as something or someone that needs to be revered.

I am 60 plus and believe that lies, profanity, scams and deceit are traits that should be maligned not applauded and this year there are 2 stand out scammers that deserve my attention, namely Sweaty betty and the deluded Peter Pan scammer with more faces than a mirror ball, Dexter.

You see I think the show should be full of interesting and somewhat quirky characters set in an environment where merriment and joviality reigns supreme when confrontation and showmances are prevalent not construed to gain an edge. Where the tasks are interesting and the competition and unfolding stories bring forth entertainment and hilarity. Once we have been able to choose our champion, they should be able to make a few quid off the back off the show but the noms and voting rules should be sacrosanct and set in stone not meddled with by dumb ass producers that are being driven by financial gain.

In short....do your job right at the selection stage, employ people that have vision for the tasks, provide presenters that can report the news without bias and allow the show to find its own momentum. That way the viewing figures will grow and we can all play daft buggers on here without needing to defend the undefendable.

That must rule Sam out then, every second word is a swear word. You best vote Charlie.

Agreed but Sam is Welsh and I don't speak taffy.

Thanks

If his ''girlfriend'' has no problem with it, i don't see why anyone else should

Dexter seems happy to see where things go with Charlie, and his "girlfriend" seems happy with that as well and continues to support him. Neither of them seem to have a problem with the way things are playing out, all parties are quite content by the looks of it. Why should we have a problem with it if they don't?

Contrast to the Daley situation, where his GF seemed genuinely hurt and heartbroken over the entire thing, they're entirely different situations. But I guess a situation where all parties are content and satisfied isn't a great talking point, so let's lump Dexter in with Daley because it's much more negative and fun for us lol

I wouldn't exactly lump Dexter in with Daley as regards the G/F scenario but he did flirt with the girls and he did say some pretty dubious things about women in the past and implied he used them in a less than respectful way. I wonder what his G/F thought about that. He seems like a shady kind of character to me.
Having said that, he has been entertaining at times and he so badly wants to win it's pitiful so I can see why some people like him. Not me though.

In fairness they all want to win, not sure who your fav is but the week Sam was up he looked like he was going to wet himself, and afterwards asking Callum about the crowd reaction to him indicates he is kinda bothered. It's not pitiful to want to win BB or 100,000, it's the premise of the show and what most enter to do.

Dexter doesn't have a girlfriend. Charlotte admitted on twitter that they only dated twice and now she has a new boyfriend. But she's still supporting him to win.

Well Dexter lets it show more than most. I've never seen anyone openly show such relief when spared eviction. Maybe its part of his gameplan.

[actor99]

its funny when it comes down to Dexter. whatever he does is fine. if he uses women that ok. after all its Dexter. if he's sly that's ok. you've really been brainwashed this series. my goodness. just not being fair. take for instance the things that been said about Charlie. unbelievably wrong and twisted. made her into some real bad person. that we really know that she isn't. but I got to like Dexter just this week. I'm always fair with everybody. I like to say it strait .

they aren't similar at all.

I hear what you are saying Samp but I see BB as an entertainment show and I don't think people should take it so seriously. I myself don't take it seriously but I do see from posts on here that some people do because I sense their anger and hatred for certain housemates in what some people type and I do wonder why they are watching it if it makes them so angry. Life is hard enough without making it harder for ourselves getting all stressed out over a TV show. Sure, I play pop about the twins when they pick on Dexter but then I just think hey, this is a TV show, nothing to get worked up about. For me its kinda like an escapism for an hour a night. Dexter has made me laugh many times is the most quirkiest person I have ever seen on Big Brother, I have thoroughly enjoyed him. After next Friday we won't hear from most of them again and we'll move onto a set of new housemates. I'm not sure BB is designed to be taken as a serious show, I think it was initially but not now, its all about money and how much they can make from it now. By the way I'm in my early 50s and I don't like the profanity either but its how life is in the modern world mores the pity. I think should they choose the type of people such as you would like them to choose they may lose a lot of viewers, especially the younger viewer.

ridiculous thread

[MatthewS]

But didn't Daley know his GF for a long time? They've were dating for a while...

Dexter and his 'girlfriend' apparently only went out twice before he went into the house, and it sounds like they had a conversation that he could do what he wanted if he felt compelled to. Seems pretty amicable. Truth be told, I wouldn't even consider someone my 'girlfriend' after only 2 dates, that seems a little off to me...

This is true. Dexter friend Jen confirmed it on twitter. That's why Charlotte still supports Dexter to win.
