Apparently out of the 30 nomination votes there were 9 for Alex 7 for Mario 4 for Dennis and Sylvia 2 for Lisa 1 for Rex, Mohamed, Darnell and Jennifer 0 for the others. I bet the Rex and Mohamed votes are from Alex. Mario would have voted for Darnell and perhaps Jennifer. So I think the rest focused on the main problem groups. I hope Alex goes and Dennis' reputation gets better. I thought the "big meeting" thing the other night was a bit unnecessary but it seemed like he meant well.

I was wrong: Dale nominated Mario and Alex Dennis nominated Mario and Alex Rex nominated Alex and Mario Sylvia nominated Alex and Mario Kat nominated Alex and Sylvia Rachel nominated Alex and Sylvia Mikey nominated Alex and Dennis Mohamed nominated Alex and Dennis Darnell nominated Mario and Lisa Jennifer nominated Mario and Lisa Rebecca nominated Alex and Darnell Alex nominated Rex and Dennis Lisa nominated Jennifer (says she ignores her maybe because she's jealous!!) and Sylvia Luke nominated Mohamed and Mario Mario nominated Sylvia and Dennis

The Japanese phrases Mikey, Mohamed and Kat had to learn sounded really difficult. But they completed their task and finally have a luxury food budget for the coming week!

Well something interesting has happened. The phone vote for this week's eviction has been "cancelled." Last week there were reports that the line for Steph wasn't working properly and people were saying she should be let back in the house (not sure how that makes sense because you'd only vote for Steph if you wanted to evict her, not keep her) so I don't know if there was another fault that has caused this. The Channel 4 site says "watch this space for information" so I will. We need to get rid of one of Mario or Alex this week!! eta: current (unsubstantiated) theories are that Alex will be kicked out because of the large number of complaints against her or that Jennifer will have to leave because of her court case so they won't need a normal eviction.

BBLB was just on and all they said was watch tomorrow's show for more info. Apparently the issue with the phone lines last week was that some people were saying when they tried to vote to evict Mario a recorded message said "phone calls to this line have been barred." Some official body investigated and they said the vote was ok. (It could be that their own individual phones were barred from calling pay lines??) So I'd have thought it's most likely that there actually is or was a problem with the phone lines and they now can't do a vote until it's sorted out. There have been issues with phone votes on other reality shows and there have been big consequences, so Ch4 would most likely be quick to act to cancel the vote and then slow to annnounce why because they'd want to get their legal people on it. I think if they were going to evict Alex for bad behaviour they'd have done it after a specific incident, and from today's updates it looks like she has been ok all day. And I don't think the Jennifer thing makes sense because we've lost housemates in the past and the vote has still continued.

Alex was called to the DR- and BB didn't sound happy according to the DS posters, so she might end up being thrown out...the regular daily show is scheduled to be in about an hour or so- we might get some stuff then...

Yeah, and some are saying the person who called her was one of the Exec Producers. Sounds like she's going. She apparently said "if I'm going, I'm going out with a bang" earlier today, but after letting her stay after her real rants it's odd to pick tonight to get rid of her - if they are.

There's a reliable source of leaks who's posted at DS saying that Alex has been ejected. I can't help wondering how the others are going to collect her stuff when she doesn't want anyone touching anything .

Hello there. As you may have guessed from the suspension of the vote, something has been up in the Big Brother House today. Here is the press release, which explains the reason why tomorrow night's eviction has been cancelled "Contestant Alexandra De-Gale has been removed from the Big Brother house for repeatedly breaking the programme’s rules by behaving in an unacceptable and sometimes intimidating manner towards fellow housemates. Alex was in discussion with Darnell in the living room shortly after 10.15pm yesterday evening (17th June), with a number of other housemates in proximity. Discussing her nomination for this week’s eviction, Alex was heard to make apparently intimidatory comments about her intentions on leaving the house. Shortly afterwards, Dennis, Rebecca and Rex discussed her comments in the garden and were clear that they found her behaviour to be threatening, a view that Rex repeated subsequently during a diary room discussion with Big Brother. This incident follows a series of arguments involving Alex since the ninth series of Big Brother started on 5th June. She has twice been called to the diary room and reminded of the rules governing behaviour towards other housemates. Her latest remarks were not screened via the ‘as live’ streaming on E4 but were reported up to senior production staff. The decision was taken to remove Alex from the house on the grounds that she had repeatedly broken the programme’s rules governing housemates’ behaviour, despite twice being reminded of her responsibilities. Alex was called to the Diary Room at approximately 8pm on Wednesday 18th June to be informed of the decision and was removed from the house without further contact with other contestants. She was one of two housemates nominated for eviction this week and as a result, in line with the terms and conditions covering phone voting on Big Brother, the latest eviction vote has been cancelled. Angela Jain, Head of E4 and Big Brother at Channel 4, said: “Alex’s comments will be widely interpreted as having been intended to intimidate. Other housemates have said they found her comments to be threatening and we believe that is a reasonable conclusion for them to have reached given the way Alex has behaved previously. “Big Brother has very clear rules about housemates’ conduct and that kind of behaviour is not acceptable. She had already been spoken to twice about her behaviour and, like all housemates, was clearly informed before entering the house that she faced eviction if she acted in an unacceptable manner.”

I've been trying to find the link, here it is: http://community.channel4.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6910040608/m/78600679001 It's not even on the official website, Ch4 made the announcement on a forum. Weird. I'm happy. (Other housemates still haven't been told, but Alex has been missing almost an hour now.) eta: now it's on the main website.

I think they pretty much know Kitt...I also think they were worried something would happen between now and Friday, so they couldn't chance waiting..

They have just told the housemates, and they're clapping! Yeah, Wilson, a wise decision. And good that Mario didn't "win" the vote, because that might make the others think he was popular.

Whatever she said must have been quite a threat seeing how they left her in through all the other abuse she has spouted. I knew she would be ejected before the public got a chance to kick her out. I wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate.

They might have been afraid of the way she'd behave after being evicted. What she'd say and do with the other housemates and what she'd say on live TV after she left the house.

Also if she was evicted rather than ejected she'd be on all the tv shows and promotions and they don't know how she would have reacted to audience questions or taunts. This is good for BB in many ways.

I wonder if BB will now have some discussion on why they chose her to enter the house in the first place? She would have to have been very canny to hide how she was in all those auditions/interviews we saw they had to go through.

One more post... it seems that this conversation (with Darnell) was the final straw. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother9/a101799/alex-removed-from-bb-house.html Channel 4 revealed that Alex had last night made intimidating remarks about her plans when she leaves the house. While discussing her nomination, she allegedly told Darnell: "I'm not throwing water at anyone. It's bigger than that... personal offence is never forgotten. Do you know what I mean? We are just inside the house. I've got a very, very, very, very, very strong team outside the house. "I just can't wait to see my mans and them and see what their plans are, who they got... I'm not talking about those mans, I'm talking about my gangster friends. They got some instructions to follow out." She later added: "I get to go out, see everyone's friends, I get to see their family. I get to do the shit that I wanna do. Pow, pow, pow." The broadcaster said in a statement: "Shortly afterwards, Dennis, Rebecca and Rex discussed her comments in the garden and were clear that they found her behaviour to be threatening, a view that Rex repeated subsequently during a Diary Room discussion with Big Brother."

How in the world can these producers not do a thorough background check? And why no full disclosure from the producers? What are they hiding? (Perhaps an oxymoron for this show.) Anyone think they will replace her? No Davina this week :-(

Apparently there will be a "live show" so I presume that means Davina. Not sure what she'll do though unless they are replacing Alex and will be introducing a new hm then? As someone was set to go this week anyway it seems a unlikely. I'm not sure it would be fair to judge a housemate by their friend's or even boyfriend's actions. Darnell has been in jail for something to do with gang activity, but it seems he's put that behind him and learnt from it. My problem with BB is that it must have been clear from their extensive tests that Alex would be like this. They might not be able to know she'd be quite as threatening but they must have known she would be aggressive, shout, talk over people and bully them. So why did they choose her?

Could the live show be an interview with Alex. Last year when Emily got booted she was interviewed by Dermot on BBLB. This year i truly believe it would be a farce for either George or Zezi to interview her. They can barely handle the fluff less alone something real...

I agree, George and particularly Zezi with Alex would be awful. Maybe Davina could do it? She seems to have quite a talent at saying honest things in a way that usually doesn't cause offense. But I don't know if Alex could be trusted to do any interview. Emily made a mistake, but it wasn't her whole being (as it were) and she could be trusted to do a suitably repentant interview. I would think BB would be very careful what they let Alex do, as I don't think they could control her.
