Theories to why dexter is so desperate to win

it's well documented that he had a gambling problem ,
so maybe he needs the money and the story lines to generate an income because he is in debt .
as a poker player myself i have met and heard many stories from gamblers. Also dexter friend on bbots said he had a reason to go on big brother but she would not say why

could this be the reason why he is so desperate to win??

Ain't they all?

He's prepared to stoop to lower levels to win it, but he isn't more desperate per se.

He has always said he could never win it and thought he would be out within the first 2 weeks. Where then has he said he is desperate to win, as you are implying!?

he hasn't it's just the op is anti dexter and posts everynight complaining about him

Is it obvious? Hasn't it been discussed again and again.

Dexter has a deep rooted need for approval due to a being riddled with self doubt. Winning BB is the ultimate approval for someone like him.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed!

think it is a plausible reason

They are all desperate to win. And they all have a game plan.

Its hardly unique to Dexter. Most entrants in this competition either want to or wouldn't mind winning. Some seem more desperate than others I agree but I would have thought all would want to win.

I would have said of this batch the twins were the most desperate to win.

Dexter in a previous series of BB would have been extremely underwhelming .

some of the housemates are more desperate for longer term reasons , like the twins think they are comedians , hazel wants to be the next AKA price , Sophie & Charlie think they can be pop stars , Gina a fashion icon etc

i don´t know 100k aren´t that much money imo. I assumed that he wants to promote his book "the pretender". Who knows with him ...

What!!! Absolute rubbish The Twins ooze more desperation then anyone in the house!

Maybe Dexter is another day older and deeper in debt.

Tbh, it's no different to every other year. There are 2 types of housemate... those who are desperate to win.. and those who would like to win.

I didn't put in the thread title who is the most desperate !!

but i agree with you the twins ooze desperation to be house hold stars on tv , very deluded they are

Oh no. not another poster who just picks on one HM......that's another thread I won't go on anymore.....

Because he's a 3rd-rate twerp who thinks it's relevant. He fancies himself a player. He fancies himself media-savvy. He wouldn't have a ****ing chance with his ridiculously contrived and obvious nonsense if the show was still as it once was (ever so briefly, ever so slightly) relevant.

He's a clown, through and through.

Who goes into big brother and doesn't want to win it?

of cause they all want to win the money and whatever they can take out of it

Voilà!

They all would like to win (I don't think any of them are desperate to... maybe I'd say Sam hopes it most as he implied from other years he should place 1 or 2, but he's not desperate to either.)

Some want different things out of the show than others (usually the categories are career/fame, money and approval/love... with the middle one usually being the least important for the majority I think... or perhaps I am naive...? ) so winning means different things to different people, but why go on there unless even if you didn't believe you could win, you had the tiniest hope of it?!

Why are you always so desperate to slate off Dexter?

Why shouldn't he be?

Dexter has his book coming up:

"The Pretender"

http://www.dexterkoh.com/the-pretender/

He's got his seminars on how to pick up women:

And this gambling thing I found on Youtube (which I don't really understand and which might not have anything to do with Dexter any way ):

Dexter has a good heart, he helps people, for a price.

Winning "Big Brother" would mean he might have more opportunities to help people

you r so right

i love dex. hope he wins. he is skint
