That's how it looked to me, in any case. The biggest reaction seemed to be from Ashleigh, who seemed to be playing "thick" and pretending she didn't understand the issue, which must have been a bit annoying and exasperating for Luke A.

They were interested though. Sara already knew of course, but Sheivonne seemed thrilled! I think that is when his bond with Lydia and Benedict started, as they were fascinated and intelligent about it. Adam seemed to have the hardest time getting his head round it - he really seemed never to have come across the concept at all. Luke clearly didn't mind his bafflement though.

Of course we don't know how many conversations have gone on since then, since Ch 5 have mercifully not repeated their trick of showing the same conversation four times in a row. When his injection was due, the housemates obviously knew about it, so clearly it had been discussed.

I can remember a few interesting conversations when Benedict was in, one about Adam's experiences in jail which I'd have been interested in, some about Sara, Deana and Arron their experiences working abroad but none really including Luke A in which he contributed anything particularly interesting.

You didn't think him telling Becky about the transition process was interesting? Or describing the impact of the testosterone jab was interesting? They were both absolutely fascinating conversations. It is a shame, as I said, that none of the other conversations alluded to on twitter have ever been shown. To be fair, BB tends to edit out nearly all ordinary conversations, especially if someone is jumping around screaming somewhere or getting their breasts out.

Not really. I've already seen a documentary or two on sex changes and I'm as little interested in his plumbing as I am in the others if they decided to keep going on about their bits. Which is why I find Ashleigh dull too. Her interests are limited.

There were face to face noms and it's the first time he's been up for eviction. He wouldn't know what people have said about him in the DR, previous noms, or the whispering campaigns.

Because he was gutted at the hostility of the one to one nominations (which he took far more to heart than ultra-confident Lauren) and BB talked him through the best way to deal with this. You saw the same programme as I did.

Completely agree.

It's a whole different kettle of fish being nommed to your face, I would think it much harder to deal with than the more usual DR noms.
