Darnell Versus Mo Versus Bex

Sometimes I'm glad I don't listen to rumours.

All that stuff about Bex being excluded from the vote were wrong, after all. On the other hand, maybe BB was thinking about it, and reacted to the rumours the right way.

Anyway, it's a three-way vote off, and maybe, just maybe, we're finally about to see the last desperate throw of the dice from the nurse from Coventry and her world famous boobiloos.

Of course, you never know with three-way votes, which can often throw up a surprise or two.

However, all the signs are that she's going. Next closest in the betting is Mo, with Darnell a distant third. There are still three days to go though, and things can change. Bex and Mo have been up before, and don't seem too disappointed or surprised at being up.

But Darnell takes these things seriously. He's often been castigated as the "biggest game-player in the house". This accusation gets thrown at pretty much all of them, of course, but Darnell is a bit of a loose cannon. Righteous, indignant, argumentative, repetitive, self-pitying.... and these are his good points.

If he chucks his toys out of the pram over the next few days, i could still see a shocker on Friday. Darnell does seem to think that he is somehow entitled to win this prize. More so, than any of the others. It's this attitude that might yet scupper his chances. "Keeping it real" indeed. What does that mean, exactly? And why does he have to keep reminding himself to do it?

As ever, nominations threw up some wild cards. Dale voted for his best buddy Darnell, and we at long last saw Rachel nominate! I'd almost forgotten she was allowed to.

But we didn't see Kat do it, nor Maysoon. Maysoon is fast overtaking Rachel as the Disappearing Housemate, isn't she? And Mikey was funny, as ever. I wonder what will happen when they show Mikey's best bits. It can't just be his diary performances, can it?

Soon after the nominations were announced to the house, Darnell was jailed for telling Rex he'd voted for him last week, on the grounds that Rex wanted out. It's been an interesting theme this year, of housemates deliberately talking like they want to go. Rex has been becoming pretty obnoxious lately, and was talking about bad-mouthing Rachel and Kat, just to get them to nominate him. Does he mean it, or is he just doing his usual thing?

And Stuart and Dale were in the bathroom talking about how time was running out. They both agreed that if you go now, you get a proper interview with Davina, a week on BBLB, and a chance with the papers. But if you get into the last six, but don't win, all you get is "a three minute interview" no BBLB, and you've still only got a one in six chance of winning.

I wonder how seriously they meant it. I wonder if it gets shown on tonight's highlights.
