This has now thrown him and his true colours are being shown. This is why he has reacted so badly to his nomination. He knows it shouldn't have happened like this and something has gone very wrong with his plan.
I think he is probably a right prima donna IRL and very up himself.
Bad luck Craig. Close the door on your way out!”
Absolutely agree! There are only four actual stratagies that can be played:
1) Flying low for a few weeks and then making your presence indispensible (Craig BB1, Dean et al)
2) Being a such a well liked character that everyone loves you and the public doubtless keep you in (Brian)
3) Quite literally f*&^ing on a first date and being totally outrageous in the knowledge that The Sun will keep publishing your picture (The Bass, Shell)
4) Attempted manipulation of housemates (Nick, Victor)
If its 2, then you were going to win from the beginning and don't actually need to worry. If its 3, then this will get you pretty far however eventually the public will get bored - tits and ass aren't everything. Thinking about 4? Come on! This is never going to work. You may even get into the final four on this tactic but there's no way you'll win.
Number one is the only real safe bet. Unfortunately though, there will always be something that can scupper your plans whether it be Jade Goody or Makosi!
