So it seems like the boys (Arron, Luke S, Conor) found out that the HM's can discuss noms. They let Lydia know this info (bad mistake)

Lydia then formed her own alliance with Deana and Lauren, using the info that the boys told her. Lydia later added Adam to the alliance.

Lydia also caught out Sara, Ashleigh and Shievonne bitching about Lauren and told Lauren. Sara and Lauren may have had an argument about it, the BBUK tweets were a bit rubbish though so who knows what went down.

BBUK just tweeted this '11:50 The alliance is expanding. Lydia and Deana have been speaking to Chris and Becky'

Lydia is growing on me, loving her scheming ways

[lostalex]

if they were smart they'd all nominate the most likeable housemates first. That way the public would be forced to evict someone that they like.

[GypsyGoth]

So Lauren is in a nominating alliance with Deana, Lydia, Chris, Adam & Becky?

[Kizzy]

Oh, this is just what i didn't want to happen the jock group will nominate chris and the other will mominate luke s...imo

[Black Dagger]

If it gets Luke S/Ashleigh up and out I'm happy with this

But I hate voting blocks, because their is always a couple of vile people in each who get really far

She's in one with Deana, Lydia and Adam. Who knows how strong it is.

Adam questioned the group on their suggestion to nom Arron, for instance.

The Chris, Becky tweet was rather vague. We don't know if Chris and Becky have definitely joined.

Lydia recruiting the real alpha Adam, smart move

This explains the recruiting of Chris and Becky, from the official site..

Two more housemates have been taken into the confidence of the House's brand new alliance. While member Lauren chomped her breakfast in the kitchen, members Lydia and Deana, sat – in what is emerging as their HQ – by the pool. Squeaky, tantrum-fan Chris was the first to be lured onto their couch. The pair deployed intense psychological pressure as they tried to swing Chris round to their point of view without fully clueing him into the bigger picture. Lydia led the charge with emotionally-loaded phrases like, "You need to realise who your friends are" and "I don't care what you've said about me. All we care about is from this day forward." We're wiping away a tear. With Chris bamboozled into, if not agreement then certainly vulnerability, Lydia quickly pushed her gains, wondering if Chris has the power to sway Shievonne. He seemed to think so and perked up a treat when it came to bitching about Arron. "He's got the biggest game plan in here," he announced proudly informing the ladies that after a seemingly-pleasant chat with the male model last night, he had mouthed a naughty word at the camera. "I wish you could have seen it." We're sure it was beautiful, love. The pair refused to tell Chris about the change to the rules that allows housemates to talk to each other about their nomination fearing that he would "blow up". They instead alluded mysteriously to the impending House meeting when this fact will be revealed to one and all. As if this wasn't exciting enough, just as we were about to draw breath, we noticed Lydia sitting Becky down on the poolside couch. Her dropped jaw and the dramatic whispers suggest that she is latest to be ensnared. Whatever else you think about 'the alliance', you have to admire the tireless dedication to plotting and scheming.

An impending house meeting, could be rucks.

From what I've seen on the highlights the groups look like this to me:

Luke S, Arron, Conor, Lauren
maybe
Caroline, Scott

-

Chris, Luke A, Sara, Shievonne
But they could form with:
Lydia, Deana, Becky

Then I have no idea, who Adam, Ashleigh and Benedict will go with

[mkbb]

Lydia is becoming a fantastic housemate so glad she stayed.

[MrWong]

Grrr, I thought Adam was being flakey..

BBUK Tweet - 1.13pm: The plot thickens. Adam has told Shievonne about the #bballiance in not the most flattering terms.

Adam sucks!!

[Kizzy]

Knew lydia and chris would join forces, both snide.
Becky will not forgive chris so can't see him getting her onside tbh, the cheek of him 'summoning' people to the bathroom?....fat knobhead lol

[bbfan1991]

If Lydia was smart she would stick with the boys, they will keep her safe

Unlike Denna....who has already nominated her

[Jords]

Lydia told too many people, her alliance should have been with Deana, Lauren and Chris. Then those 4 should have tried to work the other HMs.

It is smart, you cannot trust no-one in there they are all desperate to win and will backstab each other to do it even if they promise to be in a voting clique unless BB throws a spanner in the works.

[Black Dagger]

I'm sort of hoping Big Brother is like 'You didn't really think we'd let you discuss nominations now, did you?' and puts them all up for eviction.

Doubt it though

I agree she ruined it for them, if she kept it quiet and the four had a secret alliance they could have run the house secretly but she has ruined it now by trying to recruit too many people

Its way too early Adam could have played it safe for at least 4 weeks with them.
