I see that it's really a war of egos in that house now. The Americans will always be nominated the most, obviously they want to get rid of them first and than the British will turn on each other. But it's really ugly the way they treat each other. I wonder why they have to be all smiles when they first enter the house only to end up hating each other. I think these reality showdowns don't do them any favours.. how can they like to be put on the spot like this, if it's not the money then why even bother to do more damage to your reputation or career. I don't think it's worth go through that.

Stormie I think we are going to have to agree to disagree because YES if anyone else was behaving the way Gary has I would still see them as wind up merchant who just is as rude as everyone else seems to think others are to him.
The thing is Gary will interrupt people shhhhh them not to have them repeat but to put in his own two cents. Oh yes he is an individual but if anyone else kept insisting they had no part in the failure there would have been an uproar.
As for malice, so cutting down other's telling them they are not as important as him, as smart ect is not malicious. Maybe not but it isn't being kind either.
Gary wasn't accepting the ice pack, the thing to do is take what is offered then say could I please have some more rather than bark and demand. It can't be said that they haven't tried to take care of him. I don't care who you are if you had a camera on you 24/7 it would catch you at some point bitching about someone.
I don't think they are isolating him, he has isolated himself but not engaging in their interests it is the freaking Gary show to him. So much so he hasn't even really acknowledged his connection to Frenchie and really if you can forget someone you dated for two years you really shouldn't be putting yourself on a reality show. Gary has made his choices in there it is not all about what has been done to him but what he has failed to do for others.

Nominations (face to face) and reasons:
James: Leslie (played games), Gary (fascinating but rude, abrupt)
Dee: Gary (had run ins, doesn't give her the full attention she gives him), George (high voice - joke I think)
Kellie: Gary (no respect for other hms), Leslie (nominated him then begged for forgiveness)
Audley: Leslie (said he wanted to leave then said he had to stay to get the money, two faced), Kellie (uncomfortable living with her, getting used to her, ready to go back out in the world)
Frenchy: Leslie (two faced, not fair), Audley (strong so has to eliminate him)
Claire: George (screeches and hollers, especially at night), Stephanie (to split her and George up so they can socialise more)
George: Frenchy (unpredictable, damaged clothes, food), Gary (doesn't understand him, would have learned sign language if he'd known)
Leslie: Frenchy (hard to forgive her, unpredictable), Gary (not kind)
Lauren: Gary (ignores her when speaking, barges her out of the way), Frenchy (craziness, recluse)
Edele: Gary (rude), Frenchy (throwing the food, cutting the shorts)
Gary: Leslie (betrayal from him, sent him to the scrap heap), Stephanie (doesn't like him burping but wouldn't accept his apology for doing it)
Ricci: Gary (rude, dirty, inconsiderate), Frenchy (complete loon, fake)
Stephanie: Frenchy (throwing the food), Gary (manipulative, never helps, lies, picks on Leslie, burps, disgusting)
Big Brother says Stephanie spoke about nominations and therefore her nominations are discounted.
Everyone who received a nomination is up for eviction.
Gary 9 -1 Stephanie nom = 8 noms
Frenchy 6 -1 Stephanie nom = 5
Leslie 5
George, Stephanie 2
Audley, Kellie 1
(Ricci was rather direct in his reasons! Stephanie was worse!)

I haven't known how to feel about Gary. I think he's rude, hard to live with but perhaps the others, especially some of the others, are too full of themselves to be patient.
But what I particularly wanted to say was please don't assume the actions of James in any way reflects on how normal people would react. James only sees things his way, is the centre of his own world, and has the biggest ego known to man.
I'm not sure about Audley either. I think it's good he's honest with his feelings and you can't pretend such feelings aren't there, but nominating Kellie based on it is harsh. He has to realise it's his (Audley's) issue to get over, but at least he is working on it.
I was shocked by Ricci's nominations, from what we've seen of him he's been quite nice and quiet... then he nominates like that! I was a little shocked by the intensity of Stephanie's nominations too.
Leslie has faded into the background, and I think he could be low in the votes tomorrow. Kellie might have lost a lot of her support too now, and also it seems like she might fare better outside the house.
I think Stephanie might be near the bottom but some might like her outspokenness. Audley might just not be interesting enough to get enough votes.
Not sure who will go but it won't be Gary, George or Frenchy imo.

Couple of other things I wanted to say...
James keeps saying "in England we say/do..." He is married to a Polish woman (also a dancer), and I'm beginning to wonder if he uses that phrase with her as a put down and that's why it so quickly comes to his lips.
Re Gary sitting next to people mid conversation and annoying them. There is a difference in etiquette between the UK and US in this. In the UK if you come into a room and people are talking they smile or nod at you, then you wait patiently for them to finish what they're saying, preferably while pretending to be busy doing something else, and then they look towards you and you all start chatting. It's rude to just start talking straight away. In the US it always seems to me as if you're expected to just start talking if you enter the room, and the other people are meant to stop talking straight away, and it's rude if they don't, and also they look at you weird if you politely wait for them to invite you into the conversation. I'm sure there's more to Gary's conversation busting behaviour than that, but he would put the English hm's backs up simply by interrupting and not politely waiting.

I haven't found that to be true about Americans. Butting into other people's conversations is rude in any country that I've been in. It probably has more to do with the fact that many brain injured people are awkward in social situations.

That's useful to know. I always wait politely and feel people look at me strangely like "why are you not saying anything?" so I assumed it was a custom I was missing.

Emma's talking to the house.
The three housemates with the most votes, in no particular order, and therefore safe are:
George
Gary
Audley (surprised at that one)
Eviction reveal is a bit later.

Spunky the Royal challenge only lasted 24 hours. They kind of skated over whether they passed or failed, but as none of the final three thought she was fake I think they must have passed.

Must have been funny! I use earphones and I have to take them off when the audience scream so much, my poor ears! I think Frenchy will be evicted. If not, I will be surprised.

Wow I'm shocked at that. Obviously he'd dropped in popularity but from top to bottom in a week is pretty shocking!

If it was vote to save, I guess everyone assumed Leslie was safe. If it was vote to evict, then I'm shocked. I was shocked that Audley was 3rd safe.

I think that's it, he might not have been popular like he was, but I don't think people wanted him to leave.
Also shocked at Audley. He doesn't do much for me, but he is/was big in boxing and might have a following from that compared to the others.

It was a vote to save, so people just didn't bother voting for Leslie. He was quieter the last few days and I think some people assumed he'd be safe. I wished he'd stayed in.
I think people have got to want the Kelly- Audley relationship to play out. I know I think it's fascinating because you can really see where they're both coming from.

Me too, because I think that's where a lot of people are, they like the other person and don't want to discriminate against them in any way, it's just taking them a while to get their head around it.
I thought it was great that Kellie pointed out how offended Audley would be if she didn't want to bathe with him because he was black, and something clicked for Audley that made him begin to understand he was saying/thinking the same thing.

I think people "knew" that Leslie was safe, so they voted to save others.
I'm liking Audley more and more, now that he's come out to play. Gary seems more normal now. I guess it took a while for him to get used to his new surroundings and people.

I think Gary is really trying, I hope he stays in the house, but do not thin he will win. I was glad to see Leslie go, but really enjoyed him on BOTS, when he was in proper "acting" mode, he is quite funny, but Lord he was a tyrant in the house. I hope Frenchie, Stephanie and James go, 1.2.3....

I like Audley, he seems genuine. Ricci nah, he was mean to Gary, is it Claire, the soap star, she does not seem to be "playing" but blending into the woodwork.
