Noirin has her knockers

People criticise Noirin for leading people on.

People like Sree. And Angel. And Marcus clearly has the hots for her too, though he's very careful to keep it hidden. But Angel's gone, and Sree doesn't take no for an answer. In fact, Sree doesn't take anything for an answer because he doesn't listen to the answer in the first place. Still, finally - and not before time - Noirin fought back, and nominated Sree.

Sree, meanwhile, nominated Noirin.

Not exactly Romeo and Juliet, is it? I can't quite see Sophie and Kris nominating each other, yet.

Anyway, Noirin: she's a bright girl, and it's hardly her fault she's beautiful. When Marcus told her this, she didn't do the daffy thing and go all girly. No, she knows it - she's been told it all her life. But for a beautiful girl she tries not to use it too much. At any rate, she's the only woman left I could imagine holding a conversation with without hunting for the smelling salts. Sophie and Karly are just too... well talk isn't their thing, is it? Lisa can talk, but she's so sour it would be razor blades I'd be needing.

Noirin also has a perfect track record in the nomination stakes. She's nominated four times now, and EVERY time the duo she chooses gets to be up. Freddie every week, versus Sophia, Cairon, Angel, and now Sree.

Here's hoping she picks Lisa next week. She might just. They don't particularly get along. After the token fallout - when Kris and Charlie unilaterally decided to swap a token for booze - it's clear that cracks in that group are ever-widening. Lisa can't quite bring herself to criticise them, but she was even more sour-faced than usual. Kris really is getting a bit too big for his boots now. He's growing in confidence, and it may yet backfire.

Here's another interesting, slightly coincidental statistic: virtually everyone has nominated Freddie, but each of the people who have been evicted, DIDN'T, the week they went. Sophia nominated Saffia and Noirin. Cairon chose Angel and Sree. Angel chose Sree and Siavash. And Sree chose Marcus and Noirin.

So the moral of the tale for those housemates who want to stay: always nominate Freddie. Always nominate the same way Noirin does.

And now we have four Freddie v A.N.OTHERs in a row, and Freddie wins each time. 91.2 %, 73%, and 81%. This will be the highest yet, no doubt. Kind of boring, isn't it?

Maybe they should change the voting system, and always put three up. Those are always the more exciting and unpredictable evictions, after all, as you never quite know what's going to happen. There's always the possibility that someone will do something last minute and scupper their popularity. In a two way, that seldom happens.

Indeed, the rule of allowing each HM two votes, and only two being up actually provokes the likelihood of block voting. If there were three up every week, it would be a lot harder to form teams, and to collude.

Two nominations with the top two going up has worked well for nine years, but the HMs have finally cottoned on to how to play it. Always vote Freddie, and gang up on someone else. They're playing the system.
