Rex and Nicole's romance seems doomed, but it's still not as dead as Sara and Darnell's

Sunday, 10 August 2008

Oh Rex, where did it all go wrong? Only a week ago despite some slightly dodgy opinions I could only sing your praises. Now I think you’re just a bit of an arse. The way he treated Rachel tonight just because she chose Hell as the winners in the cake task bordered on bullying.

His arrogance knows no bounds. However, there is still a part of me that wants him there still just because at least he makes it more interesting by being a bit rude. I also feel for him having Nicole in the house.

Don’t get me wrong, there's no way that he's going to win any kind of boyfriend of the year award any time soon. In fact he’s pretty rubbish in that department. He might say all the right lovey dovey things, but he seems to think that Nicole is a pretty possession.

On the other hand she clearly loves his wallet and status more than him and I find her to be a really spoilt and whiny brat. I also don't get why she thinks she will ever be known as anything more than Rex's girlfriend especially as it's not like she has that much more to offer and I can't imagine she would have got on the show if she had auditioned. They’re both as bad as each other and are clearly going to split before the year is out because of their mutual paranoia alone.

Meanwhile, Sara is going down on my list. The girl has a couple of drinks and her wandering hands would give Mr Tickle a run for his money. Fair enough if she doesn’t fancy Darnell, but I can’t believe she doesn’t relies she’s been leading him on for weeks. Even Mikey could see that Darnell has a very large soft spot for her.

Booze is clearly her truth serum and I hate people who say something such as: ‘I won’t share a bed with Darnell as he’ll try and sleep with me,’then try and make out it was only a joke when it clearly wasn’t. Darnell is over sensitive and overly paranoid, but that’s been used against him on this one. Please let him get a nice girlfriend when he gets out of the house. That would sort him out good and proper.

Most surprisingly Mikey continues to grow on me and I also like Rachel lots more. If liking someone for being nice is wrong, then quite frankly I don’t want to be right!

Rex is a bully! To start with I felt sorry for Nicole, but I now think they deserve one another. She is a spoilt brat and he thinks she is his posession. Why doesn't someone speak out (although Stewart did sort of) against his bullying of Rachel. He never picks on the boys have you noticed? Rachel to win. Nice does it for me not self opinionated bullies.
