Freddie v Sree?

In the diary room in last night's highlights Freddie said he relished the prospect of being up against Sree.

He was almost salivating at the idea. At one stage he did qualify it by saying if he were up. Of course, it  goes without saying that he thinks he'd win that battle all right. He'd definitely hate losing to him.

Is it likely? Freddie said that Lisa was already distancing herself from him, and yesterday's task fail will not have endeared him to his fellow losers.

The task was a Sports Day in which Noirin's team of Lisa, Rodrigo, Charlie & Sophie won themselves a School Disco night over the Siavash's team of Kris, Karly, Freddie and Sree. Marcus was the umpire, and made a big thing afterwards, blaming Sree for the fail.

Once Sree gets picked on by both the Sheep and the Shepherd/Individual/Wolf collection he's doomed. Whether Noirin finally bites the bullet and gives him the elbow remains to be seen. But if Lisa nominates him and he picks up one from Siavash, Rodrigo or one of the other Lisa crew then he's surely got the numbers.

What was most interesting about Freddie's observation was that he said Sree didn't actually like many people in there, and this explains his rictus grin and pantomime behaviour. Curiously, I think this is an accusation you could also throw at Charlie. Angel liked him, and Freddie clearly does as well, so he can't be quite as charmless inside the house as some of us on the outside think. Maybe it's merely that ninety percent of the time he's an okay bloke. A nothing special, quite nice really, type. Then there's the ten percent where he's a clown - which is the kind of stuff that makes the highlights - where Charlie charlies around: the food fights, the throwing people in the pool, the throwing water at Angel.

Like Sree's clowning, it's the behaviour of someone desperate to be in with the in-crowd. Someone who needs their reassurance.

I guess we shouldn't be too hard on the Sheep, really. You go on the show desperately worried what people think of you, desperate to be popular. Then you find that there are people in there you get on with. The relief must be overwhelming. No wonder you spend all time with them, being silly, having fun, and best of all, not getting nominated.

If you're not one of them, though - if you stand out for the crowd you end up unliked and distant, like Angel or Freddie. But let's not kid ourselves. If Freddie had gone into the BB house and found himself surrounded by toffs and hippies and people who'd rather have long involved conversations about drug legalisation, he'd probably be behaving pretty much like the Sheep are, and it would be the Charlie's of this world I'd be feeling sorry for.

Anyway, today, I presume, they nominate. On Friday night's BBLB both Davina and George Lamb said they thought they ought to do the Live Nominations thing every week.Quite. But it doesn't seem that they're going to. So, one way or the other we'll find out tomorrow. If it is Freddie v Sree I'd expect Freddie to sail through. So would he. But you never know. He's starting to get a little cockie is our Fredster. If he keeps at it, he may yet come a cropper.
