You're right Justin42. He has won over the housemates by convincing them that he is somehow better than they are, just as Dr. Will did. But he doesn't seem as aware of his lying as Dr. Will. He seems to have bought into his own stories. There was nothing suggestive about Maysoon's video and Rachel was not all that different in hers, but when Rex says things over and over he starts to believe them and becomes very believable. Will not only knew he was lying all the time, he bragged about it. But, of course, the effect is the same. Unfortunately for Rex, the public votes in the UK and the public can see that he has overstepped his bounds several times and they most likely won't give him the whole game. He has likely helped some who had no chance before.

Personally, I like Rex more than I liked Dr. Will, but Rex does lack the maturity to pull it off. He has crossed the line too many times.

Well put, Mamabatsy. I think Rex must be one of the producers' favourites too, because he does keep the house interesting. Plus they could have crucified his chances for the next nominations but they gave fun token prizes instead!

Eviction this afternoon. Seems like Luke is a dead cert to go. With all these online polls and online betting odds unless the eviction is tight, we know who's going to go beforehand. It takes the fun out of it a bit. This week even Luke thinks he's going to go.

Apparently Davina has said she will give the house a shock when she first talks to them at 9 o/clock so it seems like there's some sort of twist.

Some people are speculating there will be a double eviction but others say under the new phone regs they'd have to warn voters about that (and they haven't).

Others are saying there will be a replacement for Maysoon. A lot are saying either Rex's real girlfriend or Suspect No. 6 will be the new housemate. No. 6 would be ok but it seems unfair if it were Rex's girlfriend... if it were though, it'd make sense that the phone lines closed early - they wouldn't want to do that if Rex were going.

More likely, I think, is that she reveal who out of the eight are safe, and leave the top two or three guessing for later. Nice bit of info for the others to think about if she did.

The live show has started. During the show Davina's going to tell the safe housemates, in no particular order, who is safe until there's two at the end. It doesn't sound like the second person at the end will be the number two person, but it wasn't clear.

And Rex's girlfriend Nicole IS replacing Maysoon as a new housemate!! (But only if Rex is still in the house after tonight's eviction!)

WOW!

Where did you hear that about Rex's girlfriend? I'd rather it was number 6 =)

And again: Kat and Dale are SAFE, leaving just Luke and Rex (this is so predictable).

I really don't like it, it will be impossible for her to hide details from outside the house from Rex. Even if she promises not to say anything when you know someone you're going to know what a look means. Rex will know everything. Very unfair. Not to mention that he'll never nominate her, she'll never nominate him and probably not his closest friends.

Ahh I figured so, didn't start watching until about 8 minutes in.

I wanted Luke to stay earlier, but now I'm hoping Rex stays.

As for his girlfriend going in, well, they did put in Mario and Lisa, so this isn't that much worse.

It would be HILARIOUS if Rex came out and his girlfriend went in. He would lose his mind.

And if she does go in, its too bad Luke won't be there and have to face her after what he's said. Well at least there will be Lisa.

She's said she will only go in IF Rex stays, which means Rex is staying and Luke is out.

But with Mario and Lisa neither had information. Nicole (Rex's gf) will know who is popular, who isn't, she'll know that the viewers didn't like Rex attacking Rachel... she'll completely affect his game. I don't like it at all in terms of BB "purity"... although it will probably be fun viewing!

Now I'm going to mean and say from her expression during the line up, she seems like she has a bit of an attitude. It would be fun if she entered the house and everyone hated her.

And the 7th person leaving the Big Brother house is:

Luke!

Luke tells Lisa to watch her back. Rex jokes about Luke stealing his eviction. Luke says he's going to screw them all over in his interview. Spirits, even Luke's, seem reasonably good. Only Lisa seems sad.

Interview with Luke, plus Nicole's entry, in about 40 minutes.

She did look fairly pissed off in the lineup, and I completely understand why they didn't pick her. Although just going by the "looks like Paris Hilton" description, they quite obviously should have picked 3.

Is it so common to want to look like Paris Hilton in the UK? This is like the 4th housemate they've had who looks like Paris Hilton or is actually paid as a lookalike.

I don't think so, it doesn't seem very British-like. I'm a bit out of touch with that age group though so I don't know.

By the way, I am away for the next couple of weeks, so I won't be able to spoil the show. (Although I'm not sure how many people read the spoilers anyway!) I'll be able to see the show on tv for a change, but won't have internet access to share it!

Just watching last night's BBLB and Zezi interviewed Nicole at one of Rex's restaurants. She actually seems quite nice. Sensible. Zezi said she was lovely, thought she'd be a pampered princess but she wasn't.

She has too much information to be going into the house. I think we will see a whole different Rex with her there.

Have a wonderful vacation. I can't speak for anyone else, but I look forward to your spoiling. I check here before I go anywhere else.

Thanks Mamabatsy :-).

I was just reading threads at DS and someone there said Rex and Nicole will be on different sides of the divide. Not sure how official that is (probably just speculation) but that would help a bit, at least they couldn't whisper at night. But realistically he's going to be looking at her to see her reaction to everything.

Nicole's bio from the Ch4 site:


Nicole's Bio

You already caught a glimpse of the week eight housemate when she lined up in the identity parade during the Cops and Robbers Task. But after weeks of hearing Rex talking about her, it's like we know her already.

So what is there to learn? Well, her name's Nicole and she's just 19 years old, which makes her the youngest housemate. A student by day, the blonde hails from Surrey and of course, she's Rex's better half.

Nicole enters the House, via the storeroom. She's the 57th of Big Brother's ever-changing special prizes - the 56 others were delivered as part of Rex's shopping order on Thursday. At least she didn't make it in as part of the basic budget.

Says Nicole: "I'm very, very, very excited to be going in. It's a great opportunity, a great challenge. I want to support Rex, I miss him so much and I really, really want to see him".



So now they're saying she's a special prize, does she only last the week and then get taken away at the next food budget time???

Luke's telling Davina to hurry up, she didn't sound pleased! He's leaving now, hugs all round.

Crowd mixed again, lots of loud boos but lots of cheers too. He's booing back. Probably best reception so far (except maybe Steph's, can't remember hers).

Interview:
Dav asks if he was surprised, said he knew it after Bex went. Says public didn't like him because he derails the others in the Diary Rm(??!). (Davina is fawning over him a bit.) Dav asks who nommed, he says Dale (as a favour?), Rachel, Kat... Shown Rex, Darnell, Kat, Mo, Maysoon, Rachel. Luke says he thought May did, can understand Rex's. Says he was shafted. Dav said but he had a bad week, he says yes depressed over Bex leaving.

Asked why public voted him out - says lots of words, not making much sense but I think he says the public didn't like him talking about others in the diary room and not to their face. Dav shows him clips of him stirring and others talking about him stirring. (Good clips!) He says it's more entertaining for him to slag them off and he was bored.

Dav wants to talk about him and Bex. Asks was he surprised at the depth of his feeling when she left? He said felt lots of pain when she kissed Mo. He was livid. When she left it was like losing a limb, he was fighting back tears. Dav asks about the kissing and the timing of the kissing, Luke says he thought he'd hate her type of person the most, but he found his best friend. Would never kiss someone who smoked and swore if he didn't. Dav asks if she fancies him, he says he does fancy her. He'd like to think she fancied him. Shouts did she say? Dav says have to wait and see.

Dav mentions Rex's girlfriend going into the house. Luke says yes, it will shut Rex up. it'll be sickening "precious princess this, precious princess that."

Kat: drama queen, gimmick
Rachel: mentions audition process, saw her differently, massive game player, watch her!

Summed up: inexplainable, got more than he bargained for, one of the best times of his life. Shown best bits.

Davina talking about Rex ordering 57 ever changing prizes, 56 already delivered, 57th is about to come out of the store room...

Shot of house. Store room is ready to collect the 57th ever changing prize. Darnell opens the door... Rex hugs her! Others screaming. Rex asks what is going on. All stunned. Sara asks if she's a housemate and Nicole says yes. Think she might be crying. Now meeting everyone. Rex looking shocked. Stuart looked so unhappy!

Back to Davina. Says Nicole is a bonafide housemate, eligible to win but is immune from this week's eviction.

Back to house, Nicole says she's in hell for this week. More hugs with Rex and stunned squeals from the others.

Since she's immune anyway, I hope they make her Head of House.

She is very good looking but Rex definitely exaggerates a bit with his over the top descriptions of her.

When it cut back to Davina and she said "he's not happy" did she mean Rex or Stuart or both? She said Stuart eventually but at first I thought she meant Rex.

Wow what excellent live feed timing, its on a delay and she just now went in, during the commercials! So we saw nothing on the live feed. Glad I saw the eviction show.

What total crap timing on the live feed. Completely missed it.

Hopefully Big Brother didn't tell her specifically that she was "In Hell", as they just convinced her to go over into heaven.
