Lawler beat off Jonny and Alex, Christine?

They didn't mention that in heat magazine

I love this smiley site I found btw. Here's me watching Kat and Rachel crying their eyes out when Kat got the boot: -

Rex

Pros: Frustrating in a way because he has said many things about housemates that I agree with. And when he did, I thought, 'Damn!'.
The guy has some wit & intelligence.
And you have to say Rex has been an important housemate this year in terms of entertainment & group dynamics.
He should get no brownie points for it but Rex did cook for the house everyday - probably for his own ambitions to be a TV chef - but that was not a selfish act.

Cons: As Lisa said, Rex has taken his mickey-taking too far at times.
There's nothing wrong with mickey-taking, banter, as long as context is understood - but Rex took things too far - strange when you consider he couldn't deal with any criticism of himself? Hence running to the diary room last Thursday when Mikey called him a 'bully'.
Again, I have serious doubts about how Rex appeared on BB9 regarding the legitamcy of Endemol's 'audition' process.
Rex was on the outskirts of 'celebrity' thanks to his dad's restaurants & probably had 'contacts'.
Rex's girlfriend, Nicole, will probably ignore all his bad press regarding cheating because she's like Sadie Frost & wants to be part of a 'celebrity' couple.
And let's face it, Rex has had the worst press of anybody from BB9 regarding proclivities - he is obviously an insecure Champagne Charlie, the kind of twit we all like to ridicule.

Darnell

Pros: Very astute about individual housemates & housemate dynamics, so much so that he became an early favourite.
Interesting & charismatic character though obviously carrying a lot of baggage.

Cons: I said after two weeks that Darnell is a dark horse & could do well if he didn't become 'barmy' or 'vindictive'.
He did with Sara last week.
Whether anything substantial becomes of his 'relationship' with Sara is quite frankly boring now.
Darnell has some music talent - an ambition he & Endemol may have played down while in the house. We'll see.

Looks like Tiscali was the only one to get the correct order.
