BB FANS

Yes, I think I read somewhere, that he didn't recognise her to start with. He just thought it was another new housemate.

Nor Dale... and they rather comically put Rex in his place in this video.

And how come Dale doesn't have a girlfriend?

What's wrong with him... you'd think he'd have had a pick of a few while outside the house?

I think he was just very shocked because he didn't expect to see her and now is a bit suspicious as to what is going on and why she is there.

I fear this was the only chance to boot the grotesque baby-woman, and now we have cookie love and happy how all the way to the final.

The only hope we have now is Dale trying to nail Nicole,having a punch up with Rex and Rex winning by virtue of having been wronged.Nothing we GBP like better than the underling

Dale won't try it on with Nicole. a) he's not really got form in this, despite what his VT said and b) she's not all that great-looking

and c) he is saving himself for Jen

d) And it will never happen. First night on the town and Dale will be mobbed by girls far far prettier than Jen.

Catch you all laterz

That's if you've left any for him, you psuedo-homosexual!

I was wrong about John. I thought he went out every night to fulfil his role as Late Shift BB Producer, but he's actually the Playboy of the North Western World, picking up women in every nightclub between Blackpool and Burnley, Carnforth to Skelmersdale.

I can see a play(boy)-off between Northern Champion John, and the Southern Champion, Rex.

I think we need to see a pic of John in a pork pie hat and shades. Such a devastating look. And not forgetting the diamond-encrusted hoodie!

That did make me laugh. Dale has his moments.

Not in tonight's highlights show he didn't.

In fact, there only seemed to be three people, Lisa, Rex, and Nicole.

There wasn't even much of Luke, the argument, the entrance of Nicole, the exit of Lisa and her re-entrance totally took away from Luke's special day.

(but perhaps Bex was waiting to give him a special night)

Speaking of exits. The great thing about this year's Big Brother is that the show has lost characters (Alex, Dennis, Sylvia, Mario, Luke) but still went from strength to strength.

Further proof of what a great series it is.

Excellent observation Alan.

A long forgotten rule of Big Brother used to be that 'no HM is greater than the show'... then probably around BB3 they happily abandoned it once they realised how much publicity their 'characters' were generating. But at last BB seems to have renewed that very important rule and allowed the show to be the star once again (although I'm worried they are slipping back to their old habits).

Last year, Charley was a great character but for all the wrong reasons... BB's mistake was trying to hang on to her for too long. Once you do that, you disenfrancise the viewer and the goodwill disappears like a puff of smoke.

This year I'm happy for any of the HMs to win the show (except Dale), they might not all be my favourites but each has contributed to a shared experience that includes the viewer.
