Big Brother: Davina goes weak-kneed again

While interviewing Alex, Davina proved again that she is unable to be perceptive when it counts, unless she is as scared of her as the housemates were. Every time Davina 'grills' an evictee who has made people's lives a misery she tries her hardest to get them to like her, and yet enjoys inciting the crowd to lynch mob fury when mentioning someone as buffoonish as Mario. I could call her a cowardy custard but this only brings back bad memories  of a certain type of biscuit ....

Davina was right about one thing, though, as the scales are surely falling from Mario's fan club's eyes after seeing him and Lisa in the bedroom with only Bonnie Tyler for company. It doesn't take an economics expert to know that the sales in custard creams are about to plummet after the visual torture we were forced to go through.

His many admirers should surely switch to Kat now as the BB moral barometer rewards demonstrations of empathy - and lets face it there hasn't been much of that lately.

Big Brother: Bye bye Alex

Alex has left the building apparently unbothered by the news that she has intimidated her fellow housemates. She will return to her everyday life as an accounts executive and I bet her colleagues are so pleased - I suppose they can claim the party decorations are there to celebrate her return.

Back to last night's footage, and I can't help wondering what Darnell was thinking when Alex was outlining her revenge plot. Possibly nothing entered his head, but he seemed to think it sounded good. Speaking of thoughtlessness, Dale showed that he is more than a pretty face when we got the chance to see that he is also capable of emptying his mind ... oh and he can chop a bit of wood up with his hand.

Big Brother: Hai karaoke

With the housemates trying to turn Japanese in last night's episode, it was good to see Alex stayed the same and continued berating poor Mohammed. It would have been a disappointment if she had been anything other than objectionable now we've got conditioned into hating her. It's not her fault, it's the way it's edited - at least I suppose that's what she's saying now she has been invited to leave.

What a disappointment though that we didn't even get to vote her out or go down to London and shout abuse. On the upside, Mario lives to fight another day and for those who want him to stay in (so he can look after Mikey) we can only hope Lisa will tell him that it is just plain embarrassing when he talks about his fan club base, and how wide it is.

Big Brother: Oops!

Of all the times to broadcast a part of a diary room session accidentally to the rest of the house, it had to happen when Alex was the topic of the conversation.  Considering about 80% of diary room conversations appear Alex related, that was a pretty safe bet.  Alex heard it loud and clear and what followed was pure pantomime - dames and all!  Watching Mohamad trying to unfasten the bra he was wearing whilst being berated as a bad Muslim by Alex, that paragon of Islamic values, was both disturbing and entertaining (like much of BB actually). 

The potential evictees were no surprise - but the public have a difficult choice - will it be the perfect man or the perfect woman who has to go?  I have a feeling it will be Mario - which will sadly leave Lisa, his Stepford wife, with nobody to groom.  The public may keep Alex in to see what happens when her and Mohamad eventually get it together - I think we all know who will be wearing the trousers there!

Big Brother: Did somebody take the minutes?

There's a danger that if Alex goes this could end up being the most mature (and possibly boring) Big Brother.  Luke hit the nail on the head - board meetings will leave everyone bored and much as Rachel's word perfect response to Alex was a well crafted plea for maturity, it was - well, it was just too nice!

Dennis, who comes over as one of your standard BB squealers at times, took the high ground in calling the house meeting to discuss the behind-the-back issues and he carried many with him, rendering some speechless.  Some, but not Alex of course, who joined him up there, as ever spouting on about how everyone should act, when there is no chance of her acting like that at all.  Yes, it is broken record time - she must have managed more hypocrisy than anybody else in BB history and yet still nobody has told her so properly.  I thought for a moment Dennis would, then Sylvia, but they didn't and then Mario jumped in, but made it so specific to coming in and waking people up as a sign of lacking respect, that the whole thing got diluted.

As for the crisp task - cruel, cruel, cruel - who in their right mind eats Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps? Or bogey ones for that matter.

Did I miss the scenes of a sexual nature?  Or was it the 2am 'almost' between Mario and Lisa, so rudely, but funnily interrupted by BB.  Wouldn't it be great if they did that every time the pair got anywhere near close.
