In this week's round-up, a new man enters our lives, and Rex and Mohamed find themselves in hot water after discussing nominations…

Romance 2/5

So the biggest news of the last seven days was the arrival of hunky, pretty new housemate Stu. It certainly marked the end of any chance Dale might have had with Jen. Did you see her reaction when Stu walked through the door? Her jaw dropped, her eyes lit up and a ravenous smile stretched across her face. It must have taken every ounce of self control (of which Jen has plenty) to stop her from jumping on Stu's back, wrapping her legs round him and screaming "Mine! Mine! Mine!"

Later on, having calmed down, Jen decided, oh, apropos of nothing, to describe her perfect man to Dale: "Green eyes, tall, dark, facial hair, muscular, nice eyelashes." Hmmm…if only there was someone in the house who fitted that description… Poor, dull Dale. Can you take a hint?

Sylvia was pretty damned excited by Stu's arrival too. But with her it got a bit school playground - all whispered conversations, "secrets" and feigned guilt about her current boyfriend (which, surely, was annoying enough to ensure she's evicted on Friday night).

I loved how Bex disrupted one of Sylvia and co-conspirator Jen's little seriousness parties by announcing, matter-of-fact, that she was sorry, but she'd just farted. Apparently, when people lose one of their senses the others become more acute. I guess that would explain why Mikey doesn't spend much time around Bex…

Sorry, went a bit off-topic there. But is the rest of this stuff really that much more romantic than one of Bex's farts…?

Intrigue 2/5

Mikey has been using a cup to wash his genitals. When this was first revealed, and Jen had a quiet word with him about not mixing his cup up with the others(!), I thought, "Oh dear, that's rather humiliating for Mikey." Then I saw the size of the "cup" - a pint glass! - and I thought: Mikey has nothing to be ashamed of.

Meanwhile, thingy - y'know, that Welsh girl - and Darnell have both realised just what a gossip and a schemer Luke is. They don't like it and nor do I. Call me fickle, but I'm going off last week's favourite.

Quotes 3/5

Darnell's subtly sarcastic response to Luke's politicking:
Luke: "I don't offend people, Darnell."
Darnell: "I know - that's awesome, dude!"

Rachel on her motivation for losing all that weight: "When I started getting friction burns between my thighs that was when I knew I wasn't happy."

Bloody Mario. He has a very annoying habit - amongst all his other annoying habits - of repeating every mundane thing he says for dramatic effect (and to make sure it's picked up by us viewers, who are always on his mind, bless him). This week it was the decision to save a hot-water token - by leaving Rex and Mohamed to rot in jail - that had him chanting his mantra. "Hot water is more important than freedom…hot water's more important…hot water's more important…it's more important…it's more important…hot water…" Jeez, we get it! "You can take our freedom, but you can't take our hot water!"

After a 15-hour stint in jail, Rex and Mohamed faced a parole hearing.
Big Brother: "Have you learnt anything?"
Rex: "That hot water is more important to our housemates than having us around."

I know I should probably find Kathreya annoying but so far I just find her funny and adorable. At the moment I'm addicted to repeating "I look like po-tay-toooe!"

I'm afraid that Kathreya's appeal has been all but completely demolished for me, she really is a one(poor)trick pony and I would not be surprised if she is force fed and choked by one of those extra large cookies in her sleep by a vengeful team of collaborators...oh one can but dream! 'Listen love, if you want to stop looking like a giant hairy potato- stop eating cookies and cakes and coconut-milk drenched curries and do some exercise'! Let's hope that her 'Prince Charming' has been lifting some weights at the gym if he has any intention of carrying her over the threshold...poor guy! He does realise that it was Cinderella he was supposed to fall in love with...not the pumpkin!

You make Big Brother sound rather fun to watch! Why is it then that when I actually watch it, it makes me want to commit harikiri with a pair of blunt scissors? Are we watching the same show?
