Can anyone tell me why, Adele or Alex haven't been giving any
strikes?.they talk about nominations much more, and talk about the other house mates.

My guess is that the only give out strikes when they really really have to - otherwise they will end up chucking people out.

If they gave out strikes for talking about nominations then they would end up chucking everyone out - remeber if they do it once they will need to do it again for the same thing

Surely the producers must be worried about running out of stand-by HM's if anybody else needs to be replaced because a lot of the stand-bys must have got cold feet after watching this years farce.

I seem to remeber reading they had 12 replacements on standby, for the entire duration of BB.
