I know you don't expect me to say nice things about Alex, but I have just seen tonight's Channel 4 feed and all he can do is moan. In some respects he was worse than Tim who at least feels grateful to Jonny, Kate and Jade for ensuring he got the phone call home.

When Alex finally does say something that might have been funny, the joke is ruined by it being too near the truth, like when he suggested to Tim that the two of them are like an old married couple!

The strange thing is that Tim and Alex have cut themselves off from the rest of the group, but Jade is so unpredictable that one of them (if not both) will probably get away with it this week.

Jade for all her faults is no longer taking herself too seriously, and after her row with Jonny over the cooking, you later see the two of them lying on the loungers laughing and joking.

Let's have some fun in the last week. If Tim goes out as we all hope, then it should be a good final contest, but even though I don't want Alex to win, I really wish he would lighten up as he is putting a dark cloud over the other housemates.

Alex DOES moan, though, Oldgit. He's moaned from day one.

It's just that I find his moaning FUNNY and you don't.

I think the difference between Alex and Tim is that Alex accepts he is a turning into a "moaning old ba**tard", whilst Tim just thinks he, himself, is wonderful, a good guy, nice looking, etc, etc, etc, (snore, snore).

Alex still has some semblance of self awareness but Tim is so far removed from any form of reality he's become a complete parody. Just get him out, please.

I found last night really funny when Tim asked Alex why they might not like him and Alex said

"Well i just mess my hair up and you do your hair with your little comb

I just found that really funny

Miriam ill agree with you Alex`s whinging is funny but Tims is just boring

Last night, Mrs Oldgit and I stayed up and watched the live E4 feed from about 11.30 to 1.15am.

It started with Jade emerging from the toilet to find that the others had hidden, she looked in the bedrooms, the diary room etc, then when she returned to the garden where they had all been sitting, they had all got back in their chairs, and pretended to her that they had been there all along and she must have been imagining things!

Jade got upset, and ran to the bedroom, but the others persuaded her to get up again.

Out in the garden, there were the usual silly games, with all 5 housemates joining in, including another "hide from Jade" prank when she went to the toilet again later.

Eventually, Tim and Alex turned in, and the camera stayed on Tim as he and Alex began dissing the other housemates. How they found them tiresome, it was even suggested that should Alex get evicted Friday (unlikely but who knows) Tim can walk out with him. The alternative option (Tim out, Alex follows) was not mentioned.

They expressed disbelief that PJ had been evicted rather than Kate, and that the house would have been more fun if PJ had stayed as they felt he was more like them than Kate, Jonny and Jade. Is this the same PJ who joined in the silly games with the hosepipe and wants either Kate or Jonny to win?

Tim expressed disbelief at the public, saying that if the public thought he was boring, then it must be the public that was boring.

Alex has already told Tim that he doesn't know how he will survive the last week if Tim goes this Friday.

Mrs Oldgit asked me who I would vote out if it was Alex vs Tim and I said I thought we should just save our money. No way, said Mrs Oldgit, she would want Alex out, even against Tim. She can't stand either of them, but she especially hates Alex because some of the younger girls she works with think he is so gorgeous that they are oblivious to his faults, and she doesn't think he should get off so lightly. Although most have gone off him lately, there are still a few who think he is wonderful, and she doesn't like the fact that his looks enable him to get away with having a lousy personality, and constantly moaning.

So there you have it from the Oldgit household. Maybe Alex is not getting worse than Tim, maybe he is merely getting as bad!

Agreed, but you can have a damn good try!

[purplequeen]

yeah but u would have 2 try well hard

Well, it would be a shame if Alex went and Tim stayed. What has Tim added to the house? We can at least have a laugh at Alex and I like his looks even though I am well into middle age.

Kate and Jade were praising Alex's sense of humour yesterday and the funny little things he does as well as being serious some of the time.

Lets not forget that TIM WANTS TO GO so we should let him.

Alex would be missed a helluva lot more than Tim. That speaks mountains for Alex.

At the moment they are both turning into grumpy old men

Alex is a likable 'grumpy old man'

But Tim......

Just an out and out twit with pretension to grandeur.

[at least his mother loves him !]
