Who do you think it is? Who's the HM that you would say is running the house so to speak?

[Calderyon]

Sarah and Harriet unfortunately. Jack as a close third.

[Kate!]

Jade

[Pink Pegasus]

I think Sarah because a lot of them seem to look to her almost like a motherly figure by doing a lot of cooking, the baking of bread, comforting some of them when they are upset and she seems pretty strong.

I think Kieran might also be a leader type because he seems to rally them all together and when he speaks they all listen. I noticed when he was giving the speech about people using too much butter, it was actually Joel there beside him who asked him to say it quietly saying "Kieran, Kieran, mention the butter thing to them too" but it was just brought to Kieran to say it as if he was the voice to be listened to. So maybe he might be a bit of a leader type too.

Harriet as she seems to be the loudest at the moment

[Richkingretro]

I feel like it's Sarah

[Josy]

Sarah

[Daniel-X]

Sarah unfortunately all the house kicks from her arse.

Jack is a close second because of what he did in the first week with the car and because of his immunity passes he has a lot of power in the house.

[the_answers]

Kieran or Sarah !

Danny's rope in the tug of war for power between Kieran and Sarah.

FULL STORY

1.
Kieran sits on the bed with Sarah
Tries to get her to commit her real feelings about Danny.
She won't answer ! (says something like "wouldn't normally speak to on the outside")

2.
Next up Danny and Kieran outside talking about Sarah.
http://bigbrother.channel5.com/day-1...anny-and-sarah

Danny says he think's he's going too far with the head massages.
Kieran says "Really ?!!"
Like he's suprised at the idea Danny shouldn't get close.
And trying to make out there's NO "Kieran Danny" pact

Yet shortly after, AGREES it best Danny talks to her !!!!

Kieran says
"All you can do is have a chat with her" and "Sometimes you've got to set the record straight"
and
"You don't want to be made to made to look a fool !"
i.e. Get her to back off !

3.
Fast forward to Sarah on the HL tonight...

Questioning Danny as a friend to her.
Says to Danny "Treat me like you treat Kieren".

Danny gives in to her prodding & affections and get all touchy feely again.
Fearing if he doesn't, she'll play the "why aren't you my friend anymore ?" line.

4.
Then we see this !
http://bigbrother.channel5.com/day-1...ce-about-danny

Here's how I see it...

Sarah got all touchy feely with Danny again.
Winning his affections and loyalty.

She's now in prime position to engineer a shtstorm to make Kieran (and Danny !) look bad.

By claiming she suddenly can't speak to Danny.
And claiming she doesnt know why's it's all suddenly happened !

What's she really doing is trying to imply Kieran has been interfering with her and Danny. (which in a way he has)

Notice she says "You do !" and "I can't pinpoint that !"
(i.e. how come Kieran can speak to Danny but Sarah suddenly can't ?)

You see, Sarah KNOWS Kieran and Danny are "talking tactics".
Kieran knows she knows it.
But he also knows what she's up to too !

Kieran reads her tactics like a book and throws it back at her
"What do YOU think it is ?"

He then backs down and says "Go and speak to him !"
For Keiran, it's the lesser of 2 evils.
He can't be seen as the one messing up a "Sarah Danny" friendship/romance
Even though him and Danny basically agreed Danny should keep his distance !

Notice the acting on camera too !

Kieran: "You know and I know Danny's not a bad guy !"
Sarah [acting agitated and hurt by the suggestion]
"Noooo ! I never said that !"

Both trying to make each other look like bad !

Sarah tries to put the boot right into Kieran at the end with:
"I don't really understand why someone who would speak about me in that way would... [points away]

Erm yeah
Not SUDDENLY want to anymore ! (especially after Kieran's "advice" ! )

5.
Finally....

Sarah goes to see Danny
http://bigbrother.channel5.com/day-1...ny-have-it-out

But changes her story (with Danny) to "2 days in" (not 2 days before !)
And gets Danny to admit he pushed her away !

Great gameplaying !

Sarah's telling Kieran she wouldn't normally speak to Danny on the outside.
But then telling Danny "I DO want to get to know you. I DO want to have a friendship with you !".

Funny as hell and utterly brilliant !!!

[Mystic Mock]

Sarah seems to control peoples behaviour the most in the house, even firing bullets for the Bulldog to go after.

..yeah I agree, I think that Kieran is the most alpha male and actually someone who I am liking more and more..that whole thing with Eileen was stupid and she's always been a huge favourite of mine but he was just trying to make conversation and even being interested in her/her sleeping pattern etc and it's as if her 'offence' was calculated the way she approached him after the event and then snapped at Sarah for being confused as well..if the female I'm not sure with Jade and Sarah because I think that they're both 'powerful' female characters..it'll be interesting if Jade goes on Friday, how the dynamics will be then...actually just as an off topic bit..I loved seein Sarah and Danny play-fighting last night, she really is reminding me a lot of Kate Lawler...

[Mystic Mock]

If Kate Lawler was starting up showmances like that then she's a bad winner.

[the_answers]

Funny thing is, she isn't really controlling them at all.

They've maybe just decided it's best to "play the game" too.

Nothing is stopping Danny from backing off Sarah.
He could tell her where to go or call her out if he really wanted to.

At the end he says:
"As long as you and me are on a level and know where we both stand."
i.e. we're in it together for the win

Sarah continues her soap opera by saying "I don't think we do"

Notice Sarah says earlier:
"The only reason I got closer was that you pushed more away".

i.e. I'll screw up your chances if you don't play my game with me.

Sarah & Kerian

[Mick]

I think Kieran sees himself as such in every way but its not happening.Sarah is top dog at present imo.Whats interesting is that Sarah has said she likes Kieran I took this as in friend not fancy yet he def fancies her if only because the public voted her best looking and he is a topper.

If the two of them formed an alliance on whatever terms it would prove interesting.

I tend to agree here.

It wasn't like Eileen picked Kieran up on it there and then.

Perhaps I'm wrong but got the impression it was a calculated move.
If so, see it as good gameplaying though !

Or maybe I'm wrong and she genuinely found it upsetting.
Either way, I give her more points.

Likewise think Kieran was either insensitive
Or if he was trying to play her, it backfired and played into her hands.

Danny.
