Yeah, I was going off a a bit of a tangent! I did think a few weeks ago (after Sandy's "escape") how funny it would be if one of the HMs actually faked their escape, by hiding from the other HMs.
At the time the only place I could think of was at the top of the stairs, but it would be a bit too risky. Alex's under-the-bed spot was a lot better. If a HM had managed to prime the others by talking about escaping, then creating a fake route (say, by muddy foot marks up the garden wall) and then hid under the bed for a couple of hours, the reaction of the others would a been great to see. Especially if the "escapee" then managed to "return" to the house, carrying a McDonalds bag (from their suitcase), with stories of how they had been trying to hitch a lift from the local drive-in. Imagine how some of the HMs would then react if they thought the escapee had been in contact with the outside world and BB had let them back in! Sure, they'd pickup some nominations for conning the others, but would you vote them out?
People have complained about HMs playing up the cameras (i.e. hiding their real character), but if they can genuinely perform in an entertaining and open manner it makes for some of the best bits (e.g. Alex singing behind the bedroom door).
