Ok, I think that it's time to start taking a more analytical approach to Big Brother this year. I've not posted for a while, because every time I thought that I'd got the nominations figured out Big Brother would bend the rules somehow to fiddle the situation somehow. This week is perhaps the first set of nominations by the rules, so it's time to stick my neck out and make some predictions ...

Person Nominee
Anthony Derek Vanessa
Craig Maxwell Saskia
Derek Maxwell Saskia
Kemal Maxwell Science
Makosi Anthony Maxwell
Maxwell Derek Roberto
Roberto Maxwell Saskia
Saskia Derek Roberto
Science Kemal Maxwell
Vanessa Anthony Roberto

I think the guiding factors this week will be Maxwell's food theft and the perception of the Derek/Roberto axis as a threat. The critical floating vore could turn out to be Kemal's - I think that he will still harbour some resentment towards Science for the water throwing incident, despite (or maybe because of) Science's half hearted apology.

The tally therefore works out as :

Maxwell 6
Derek 3
Roberto 3
Saskia 3
Anthony 2
Kemal 1
Science 1
Vanessa 1

If I've worked it out correctly (and I suspect that Science may pick up more votes somehow) then Maxwell is a cert for nomination, and it could well be a tie between Derek, Roberto and Saskia for the rest, depending how the floating votes pan out.

We shall see tomorrow ...
