Well to be fair they will try to talk ANYONE out of leaving. They want X number of HMs in the house at any given time whether for task purposes, ratings
purposes, logistics what have you.

My favorite thing about BBUK is the way that the rigging that there is is so pitiful and small that you really don't noticeThis your first BB UK? :P This Rex winning HoH with an easy pose is right up their books. Just like the Billi/Charlie nomination banning last season lol. It's all in good fun though so who really cares. This is a game, I sometimes forget. And if Rex convinces these idiots not to nominate Nicole, and turns around and nominates Rachel...he'll be having good game play I guess. But he's still a walking dickwad. |

Rex has bitched about Mo for MONTHS and not once has he ever nominated him. I doubt the cider incident will change anything. Besides, didn't Rex bitch non-stop and told Mo flat out he was taking his beer and yet when the beer came he walked over and handed it to him in jail? |

I so hope Nicole will go up. If she doesn't, the nominations will probably be Lisa vs. Rachel, my two favorites.
Rex to Rachel: I don't know if it were your fans or Mikey's and Kat's fans who saved you. What a fucking asshole.

I think Rex would bitch about anything or anyone (Mo's greediness) but still not nominate them but Rachel's blatant lying about being unbiased must
have crossed the line for him.

True but Mo's petulant refusal to take ownership of what he did (and he knows he was wrong) might tip the scales. Still I'll be a BIT surprised if he
nominates him.

Rex is cunning. He knows what he does, knows how its a numbers game and will do whatever he thinks will get him and Nicole into the final week. He was the
central figure to spitgate. He did the deed and watched the fireworks go off. His smirk during his "apology" was pathetic at best. He quickly hid
in his room and let his "friends" defend him and get spit on without any concern. Didn't even comfort or defend Mo. He thrives on conflict, it
feeds him.

. Although "The Kiss" was made for Nicole and Rex,Explained. They could have made them both do it seperately. Of course the couple is going to get that one. I'm sure Lisa would not want to pose with Mo. Plus, Rex was already HoH before when Stuart was stripped of it already. If they wanted to be technical, they wouldn't have included him. All this Rex talk really makes me think this guy probably deserves to win this shit. He's been the central figure the whole season. He was getting this wrapped up around his miserable fingers until Nicole came in. It's a shame cause his defense layers were coming down and we were seeing the nicer sides of Rex and very funny, with the tinge of meanness. Now he is back to being the super prick he always was, it's a shame. |

He was NOT the HoH. He took charge of the shopping list but it was theirs as Heavenly Housemates to do. Mikey was involved in making it too and agreed with
Rex's plan.

Am I the only one who liked watching Rex and Nicole's rollercoaster of a relationship? That last episode was a pretty good look at what's behind the
ups and downs of things. It's strange to me how easily they go back to cuddling after having an emotional fallout.
I admit, I laughed at the whipped cream beard Rex made for Darnell. And thanks to Darnell for reminding us all of this cinematic classic scene: |

I've enjoyed most of it. I've cringed at a lot of it but it's been an interesting dynamic and MUCH more interesting than the manufactured
relationships forged in the house over the years.
Stu's eviction interview was often painful to watch. Loved that Davina called out his sheepish fishing for compliments. I wanted to throttle him a couple times when he was mumbling through explanations and sitting on the fence when asked about anyone in the house. Also loved her shout-outs ot her husband |

When they do rig, it's little things like giving him an easy pose, unlike BBUS where they actually convince people to vote out certain people so they can keep the ones they want for their storyline in. |

Am I the only one who liked watching Rex and Nicole's rollercoaster of a relationship?I personally hate it. I want it off my screen like now. But, I'm willing to wait to see the special they have in store for these two rich twats. If it's turning on each other for money, it won't work. Rex has got Daddy's money so he could care less. It has to be something they both worship. Being adored and loved. I hope it's good, I wanna see them both tear each other apart for fame. But I don't think it'll happen. Nicole realizes the publicity she'll get anyways from being outside most of the time and Rex does too. Unfortunately, being cunning dicks, they have enough intelligence to know better that they'll still be both famewhores after and can milk it together regardless. I really wanna see them turn on each other so bad but it won't happen as the money flow in their lives is already established. Finanically struggling mediawhores is the best thing for a show like this, they'll backstab their grandma for 100 pounds and another week in the BB house. |

Exactly. There's no tension in up and down relationships like Chiggy because you know at most they'll do a photo shoot and then be over. There's
actually something at stake here.
Rex constantly asking about outside world stuff absolutely drives me up the wall. If I was Nicole I would have torn off his head ages ago (and then had make-up sex). Darnell's "beard/hair" was adorable. Rex did a good job. Darnell and Mikey in the bath was actually fun. Bald, pasty twins. "More of Wales must have TVs than I thought." |

Thank Goodness a Whisper Blocker is doing that to the HM's, if it was anyone from the Whisper Club, I'd fear for their safety leaving the house from the public.
There isn't much at stake in their relationship, imo. Not much is there except co-dependency. They are doomed upon leaving BB. She's dependent on his wallet/lifestyle and he's dependent on her for a female love figure. I don't see a true love relationship there. And they'll be big famewhores like Chiggy, no doubts. Photoshoots, press, red carpet appearances. I can't blame em if they do the press circuit together. Milk it I say. Plus, Rex will find someone else who actually will display some sort of affection back post BB at some point. I think she's too dry/unattached for him.

Love the randomness of Rachel's fave things party. The 3 potatoes, roasted chicken surrounded by cookies, grapes, bottled water, tray of sandwiches. |

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny when they ask her favorite drink and she says "Non-alcoholic would be bottled water". I mean, she isn't helping the people who stick up for her against the boring accusations. |

Grace Dent's column is back to being pretty good this week and she does a great analysis of their relationship. I was thinking Rex & Nicole didn't stand a chance at staying together once the show ended (or one of them was evicted, whichever came first) but I think Grace has it right: "Rex was most excited about the wall's demise. He'd pressed his erection angrily against it for the past eight days and could stand it no more. Now Rex could be with his princess Nicole. Like, really be with her. Like sit really close to her all day long, staring, examining every inch of her skin for imaginary wear and tear. Rex is sure Nicole has been disloyal to him over the past few months they've been apart. But what if Nicole has had as much fun in London as Rex is reported to have had in Las Vegas and Miami? This thought is making Rex very edgy. Not that Rex has anything to feel guilty about of course. Oh no, his conscience is clear. That's why he's the King of Chill we see before us, sat on the sofa, little coal eyes flashing, fists scrunched. 'Why are there sequins missing from your pink dress, Nicole? How can you not remember the exact contour of my belly-button, Nicole? Have I got anything to worry about Nicole? Look at me Nicole! Should I be worried?' Meanwhile Kat, Darnell, Rachel all pretend to be deaf. 'Are they having another row?' they mumble, 'Oh no, that's the end of the last row. Oh hang on, it's starting again. Quick get a mop, look busy.' An hour later the couple are cuddled up in bed again, Nicole cooing, 'Ooh Rex you're my best fwend!' and Rex cooing 'And you're my best friend too.' Then Nicole whispers, 'We haven't got any other friends have we?!' 'Ooh gosh! I wonder why that is?!' screams a nation of viewers, 'Quel grand mystere!? You'd think their diaries would be positively brimming with people needing their parties ruined by them turning up, dragging a stinky atmosphere, bickering by the sausage rolls, crying, then leaving in a minicab, slamming the front door off its hinges before heading home for angry sex. In fact, what are you both doing for New Year?! Let's all get a cottage! This year's solid-gold Diary Room star, Mikey, put it so well this week. "I know they're a couple! Well, it's time they went and were a couple elsewhere!" Because that's the bottom line really. Rex and Nicole are simply one of those annoying constantly arguing couples. They're having a whale of a time in their own way. On first seeing Nicole last week, I was sure they'd both be split up in a month, but now I'm not so sure. This tedious relationship has got legs. It'll run and run and run. On one side there's Rex with his neediness and his constant drip-feed commentary about how selfish, stupid, flirtatious and annoying Nicole is, eroding her confidence to look elsewhere. On the other there's Nicole, spoilt and princess-like, lapping up Rex's mania. If Nicole split up with Rex, imagine how boring a normal plodding relationship would be? Imagine Nicole with a chilled out boyfriend who let her go anywhere, wear anything and speak to anyone? After Rex that wouldn't feel like real love at all. So yes, let them go and be a couple elsewhere. Or better still, let them stay locked in the Big Brother house post-September then turn the cameras off. |
