Into the seventh week, and the house had already lost Penny, Stuart,
Narinder, Bubble and Amma. Would Paul get nominated and face the
public vote yet again, or would the housemates give him a break
this week? Here's what happened:
Brian
Brian's first choice was again Paul. He stated that he got on better
with and more in common with other members of the group, adding
that it could be his (own) sense of humour that causes a problem.
His second nomination was Josh, for similar reason to Paul: because
he had more in common with the rest of the group.
Brian's nominations: Paul and Josh
Dean
Dean decided not to go for his 'popularity line-up' reasoning this
time around. He later explained how he admired the way Paul had
taken his facing eviction time-after-time, so was acknowledging
the strength of character he'd shown by giving him a week off. This
was an admirable reason.
Dean's first nomination was Helen; he stated that he was getting
on better with other people. He suggested that the big age gap (of
14 years) might be responsible for the fact that they didn't seem
to have gelled. However, this seemed to contradict what he said
last week, which was that Helen made him laugh. His second choice
was Josh because, "I feel he has been quite guarded and I find
it difficult to make a connection with him." Dean added that
this might have been because Josh entered the house later than the
rest of the group.
Dean's nominations: Helen and Josh
Elizabeth
Again Elizabeth's first choice was Paul, even though she muttered
something about wanting to give him a week off from being nominated;
it was an irrelevant and superfluous statement though. She described
him as a 'lovely guy' but said that he doesn't compliment her 'ideal
group' of final contestants. She also said that she had never found
anything in common with the hardy designer. Her second nomination
was Helen, making her two nominations exactly the same as last week.
Her reasons were basically because the two had nothing in common
and liked/disliked different things. She conceded that there was
'no good reason really' adding, "We get on but we're very different."
Elizabeth's nominations: Paul and Helen
Helen
Dean was Helen's first nomination, because she didn't feel that
she got on as well with him, as she did with Brian and Paul. Her
second nomination was Josh for similar reasons, this time adding
that she got on with Elizabeth and the above-mentioned two boys
better. Her nominations were therefore the same as last week's.
Helen's nominations: Dean and Josh
Josh
Josh's first nomination was Brian. "I haven't been getting
on as well with him as I had hoped, though things have got better,"
he said. His second choice was Helen. Josh stated that it was difficult
to choose and suggested that both Brian and Helen weren't really
on his wavelength.
Josh's nominations: Brian and Helen
Paul
Paul's first nomination was Brian because he'd noticed a spoilt
side to the Irishman; he stated that this had rubbed with him since
the very beginning. "He thinks he's going to be big after this
- it's possible, but I don't think it's something you should talk
about." Oh, but it's okay to brag about the size of your manhood
on national television is it Paul? The 'fickle' nominator's second
choice was Josh. He justified his choice by giving the following
reasons: "Number one, he's a very, very competitive person
and number two, there's like a poncey, slimy side to him."
Paul also suggested that Josh 'hadn't been totally straight-up'
about his sexuality and might have compromised the positions of
some of the girls. "There's a lot we don't know about the guy,"
he concluded.
Paul's nominations: Brian and Josh
So, the tally after the sixth round was:
Josh: 4, Helen: 3, Brian and Paul: 2, Dean: 1, Elizabeth: 0
So, Paul has escaped the public vote this week! It is Josh and
Helen facing eviction this Friday (the 13th!) instead. It is looking
likely that Josh will go as the public seem to be warming to Helen's
dizzy, but harmless ways now and also want to keep her in the house,
in case there's any action between her and Paul. As always however,
you decide! If you'd like a flutter on the next eviction or perhaps
