TASK: Dire Traits


Personality Trait Card



How would you describe each housemate in three words?

The housemates have been given a Task that will require their utmost sensitivity: they must describe each other's positive and negative traits.

Big Brother has provided the housemates with individual personality trait cards. They were given 30 minutes to each write down three words that they felt best described each of their fellow housemates.

Of the three words, they were told that one must reflect a positive trait, one must reflect a negative trait, and the final one could be either positive or negative.

"This is cool!" exclaimed Rachel when Head of House Mohamed delivered the news.

"I like this, because we all know what we think of each other."

But do they?

To ensure complete confidentiality, Michael was asked to submit his descriptions verbally in the Diary Room. For Darnell, he chose 'creative', 'pessimistic' and 'complex'. He described Kathreya as 'caring and emotional, but devious'. Then he came to Mohamed.

He looked thoughtful. "Positive would be..." There was a pause as he racked his brains. "I'll be honest, I'm struggling with that."

Having decided that Mohamed was 'silly, selfish and rude', Michael returned to the group and started teasing Kathreya by leaning over her shoulder while she was writing.

"Kat, what's that you wrote about Rex? Oooh!" he joked, pretending to read her card. "Darnell's what? Oh, Kat!"

"The thing I'm struggling with is the negative things," said Sara, frowning at her card. "This person just doesn't have anything negative to me."

But were the other housemates thinking the same thing about her? Time will tell...

Rex Digs Rachel



As the Task continues, Rex reverts to his favourite pastime - being nasty to Rachel...

The second round of the Dire Traits Task is underway. Housemates are being called to the Diary Room, where they must pick a name out of a hat and guess three personality traits assigned to that person by their fellow housemates. They must guess three traits correctly to pass, and if four or more housemates pass, they will be rewarded with a special prize later today.

While the housemates have been popping in to the Diary Room one-by-one, Rex has been killing time in the Garden by criticising Rachel.

Rachel was happily joining in with one of Darnell's R'n'B sing-alongs when Rex interrupted to inform her that, "You literally have the personality of a 40-year-old."

With Rachel looking baffled, Rex explained, "Like the way you move and stuff. The way that you join in on songs."

"OK..." responded Rachel uncertainly, waiting for the catch.

"You have a mature attitude to things," Rex continued, "but then you try and make it immature, if you know what I mean. Like you'll come up with words that you think the kids are saying now, like parents do. Like Lisa says, 'Oh yeah, that's really digging'."

Rachel looked puzzled. "Really digging?" she repeated slowly.

"Oh, keep up Rachel," sighed Rex.

What a charmer.

Rex started turning nasty again on Rachel last night, seems now Saras out of bounds for his bullying Rachel will be his target for the week.

Lets hope he goes too far and is booted.

It will probably get Rachel the sympathy vote and give her more chance of winning.

I seem to remember Rex was very tight-lipped when Alex was in the house.
He keeps at Rachel because he has probable never met anyone like her. All his friends, girlfriend and it looks lke his family as well, are party people who do not live in the real world were people get up and do a nine to five job.
What has disappointed me about Rex is he doesn't seem to care what he says to get an effect. He has been nothing but horrible to Mo and is only happy when the talk, him talking, about sex, his fabulous lifestyle and how he makes his staff life a misery.
He is a sad, sad person.

Do you think the editing swung it for Sara then ?

I think Lisa could of swung it her way if she had of stood up for her mate rather than ignoring the issue by taking a bath at one point and concentrating on her makeup at another critical point, a question even raised by Davina and far from answerd.

Not really sure about that tbh. Sara was much more featured in the Highlights Shows because of what was going on and people may have kept her in, thinking she would be more entertaining for the last week - she may have got the vote from the fun loving young girls who vote, because they would be able to identify with her more than Lisa. Also, as you say, people may have voted Lisa out because she didn't stand up for Sara.
