Big Brother 2008!!!

Rex is just beyond words with his arrogance and arsey-ness... and then he tries to twist things round and blame it on others?!

Yikes, I was cringing too and i've been a rex supporter for most of the series.  That was painful to watch. 

He's a complicated person who would probably benefit from some therapy. But I still don't think he's a bad person. I actually feel sorry for him and would like to see him win. I think of all the housemates, it would do him the most good.

Not that I believe in therapy, but I do think he would benefit from it, totally agree with what you say chary.  He does annoy me with his little too much self pity though.

But...I am happy that Lisa is out.  I missed the whole point of her (with or without mario) and she seemed to be in a different world at the interview!    And I never really appreciated the botox side of her life until now. No surprise that Mario got in on the action though!

I don't mind Lisa, but I wasn't really sorry to see her go. As inoffensive as she is, I loathed Mario so much that it's hard to like her a lot.

I'm not a huge Sarah fan either, so I didn't really mind which one went tonight. Again, she's fairly inoffensive, but she seems really dumb to me. Is it just me?

I think he has behaved abominably toward Sarah this week, but I think Darnell has a lot of issues of his own. Not that it excuses his behaviour, but I guess knowing that helps me kind of understand him a bit better. He's terribly insecure, mostly (I think) because of being albino. I don't think he feels accepted or that he fits in anywhere - he's not black, he's not white, etc. He's a complicated person who would probably benefit from some therapy. But I still don't think he's a bad person. I actually feel sorry for him and would like to see him win. I think of all the housemates, it would do him the most good.

Hm!  And i thought he was just a dickhead!      It would seem to me that BB have some sort of a duty of care to not allow people with psychological issues to be on the programme.  You know, like for their own well-being.

You'd think, wouldn't you!? But I've seen far more unbalanced housemates than Darnell in the past. I think BB walks a very fine line between exploitation and entertainment.

Totally, 100% agree. As much as I do love a good dose of reality TV I often feel vaguely guilty for enjoying it because as Q-G points out - I think there is a duty of care to protect people with psychological problems. I feel the same way about X-factor, Pop Idol, etc auditions.... 

As for this BB - I honestly don't know or care who will win. I would have preferred to get rid of Sarah 'cause her voice absolutely grates. I sortta liked Lisa - she was clearly in her own little world and I found her at least vaguely amusing because of it....

I agree. Sara's voice is so annoying and she comes across completely vapid. Lisa on the other hand belongs with the 'little green men' she claims she saw. I liked seeing the different clown outfits she'd sport.

Darnell has an enormous chip on his shoulder and needs some serious help. I think he will end up winning though.

Rachel is beginning to bug me.

LOL!!   the housemates were just having an argument about the 'correct' pronunciation of the word 'pasta'!!

Now that doesn't shock me!

Which is funnier? That they were having that argument ... or that you're so sucked into BB that you're now even watching the live feed!!

LOL... really, im not sucked in!
It's just that i only have Freeview, so it was either kid's programmes, racing, a shite film, or BB!

I can't even defend her anymore.  Sara is just plain stupid to get involved with Darnell again.  Did she learn nothing?  I was actually shouting at the TV last night.

I doubt she'll win now, which means I've lost £5!

She knows he likes her, so why would she throw herself at him if she only likes him as a friend!?!

Because she is totally clueless and completely vapid.
