Dexter and Gina will be good friends for a long time, I think. It's great that he was there to support her today and I guess it shows how close they have become in such a short space of time and how much they trust each other. I think she was unique in the house as she was the only one to spend almost a week with him alone, I presume they got to know each other really well and it says wonders she was the only housemate to always believe his side of the story, to think he wasn't using Charlie for instance.
I was exactly the same - usually I would be constantly refreshing Twitter, the YouTube channel and watching live feed. But last night I didn't do any of that and only lasted half an hour through live feed before going to bed. It just isn't the same without Dex, but to be honest I feel that way about CBB as a whole, it's incredibly difficult to get involved in the characters as it's on for such a short amount of time and you already know quite a few of them already. I prefer the civilian series as you can relate to the characters a lot and get to know them as time progresses.

To my simple mind it seemed manipulative to say the least and the whole thing leads me to believe Dexter was stitched up big time. I now feel that if B/B have someone who they want to win for whatever the reasons, they can make it happen.
For above reasons I did not intend to watch any more B/B since I had watched most years since the 2nd one in 2001 however hearing Dexter was due to be on BBBOS I put it on , and sat down to watch, the main show still had a way to go, so believe it or not I fell asleep and missed Dexters contribution to the show ! woe is me !
Hope you don't mind me popping in occasionally even if I'm not watching the show I'm still a Dexter supporter and look forward to supporting his next venture .In my opinion he was by far the most entertaining best housemate ever.
Noticed Dexter received a lovely tweet from Marcus Bentley It just shows they are not all of the same professional judgement, nor is Ian Lee who I remember saying last time he was on that he liked Dexter but followed it by saying he wont win though, Did he know something then I wonder ? I have become so suspicious of the whole situation
Do you know if I read correctly that Gina split up with her boyfriend I was trying to get used to using twitter and someone on there was speaking about it but I don't know any details regarding it.”
I definitely think it was engineered for Sam to win which is a shame, at one point Gina and Dexter were unbeatable but then they were given unfair destructive edits on the main show and tasks that made them look bad and unfortunately many people obviously fell for it.
I'm not sure why they would particularly want Sam to win - he was pretty much nonexistent in most major storylines throughout the show and wasn't a major character at all. He was also very crude and obnoxious, which I presume they were trying to protect. Is he the sort of example they want to send out to future housemates? The only thing I can think of is that it would be good publicity for them to have the cute little deaf kid win the show, but as we know the only true part about that is that he's deaf. If he wasn't I'm certain he would have done a Sophie and become as disliked as a bore could be due to his arrogance and rudeness.

Sending good luck to Dexter for tonight. I can only imagine some of the stuff she will come out with - she probably still won't be convinced it's not a gameplan!
