Dull
How wrong could I be? I thought it was game on in the house but it obviously isn't... except, that is for Saskia and her huskies. Why don't the others try to break them up? I'll have to do some serious watching this week and see if I can work it out.

Very disappointed with the nominations. Quite frankly... dull!

Predictive text
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 ...

Nominations- It starts to feel personal
There's been a lull... it happens. I'm sitting outdoors sipping Pimms (BB4) from my BB5 knobbly orange picnic glass and feeling nostalgic as BB6 housemates nominate for the fourth time and it looks like a straightforward nomination session this time... but I'm not holding my breath.

I think Maxwell could well be up. Derek pointed up the trio's confidence in their popularity. It would be good to undermine that more than a little. The escapade with the cider may do for him... and others although I have to confess that I'm not sure how the latest task will affect the HM's feelings, guilt wise. Hmmm...

Saskia has done herself no favours with her head wagging and petulance at BB and her critisism of the GBP. I don't like her. Feelings of hatred (just intense irritation really :)) for Saskia are growing in me... Look back through this blog and you will see I took an early dislike to her which has grown over the weeks. It's the cocky head wagging... poor strategy... if it was a put on persona, I would enjoy it but I suspect she really does think she's something special. Bit of a turn off. Will be her downfall.

Others up could be Roberto... er Science...er Vanessa- just guessing. I don't know. I haven't watched closely enough this week.

Looking forward to hearing the results tomorrow. I hope BB plays it straight for a change.
