Here's my two cents on the 'romances'.

Alex is really an introvert and so is not used to having his life let alone his love life being talked in the way it is at present. He's not comfortable with it, hence his body language. Therefore at the mo, it will be difficult to predict if anything will come of him and Adele. Things will have to die down and normality resume before anything happens between them. Alex is not an exhibitionist like Lee.

Kate really likes Spencer but they are both being coy at the mo. I think Kate needs Spencer to take the first step if anything's gonna happen between them.

Whatever happens, I hope both couples remain good friends.

I second that lets hope they all remain good mates.

I don't know about Alex and Adele (although they make a charming couple) but I can definitely see a Kate and Spencer romance on the cards. Spencer has always hedged his bets about Kate, afterall she was in the house 'messing' with Alex and who wants to declare his emotions and then look like a fool to the whole world? Every time I've seen Kate since her triumph on Friday and Spencer's name comes up she GLOWS, its just the most obvious thing on her part. I have to say Spencer is quite possessive about her as well, I remember him liking Alex just after he was evicted and ever since then, or shall I say, since the emergence of Follow the Van, Spence can't stand Alex. He didn't particularly care for Tim either a little while ago and Jonny isn't he's favourite person in the world either. I'm sensing a connection somewhere. I've always thought Channel 4 underplayed their relationship a great deal, a lot of conversations and moments of them weren't shown and watching it almost constantly on E4 I think their was probably the most genuine of all the 'romances' in BB3.

As for Sophie and Lee, who knows WHAT to think. They had lovely chemistry in the house but since their announcement, its seemed very 'organised' to me. i hope they're not using this as a publicity stunt cos' to be honest, no one cares that much about these two. Well, except maybe Carmen.

the scrutineer

Let's introduce some quotes from Alex on the subject of romance.

On RI:SE he may have said that the whole affair between him and Adele was blown out of proportion but he has said in some newspapers that he would like to remain long term friends with Adele (hopefully into their 50's- age).

He has admitted that he fancies Adele. He has also said on several occassions whilst in the house that a relationship between them would be difficult because she lives far away from him in Southport and he in Essex.

Also working as a model he is always travelling so he will not have much time to spend with a girlfriend based in this country or anywhere else by that matter. (Especially now with all these new contracts coming out)

This makes a lot of sense because he has always said that long distance relationships do not work. So it looks like he is sticking by what he has always said whilst in the house.

in addition to this, most of the relationships he has talked about having (threesomes, Viviani and others) have always been short term (2 months etc) so in the long run it would be better for Adele if she was his friend so that they will be assured of a long term friendship rather than a short term affair.

He seems to respect her too much to have a short fling with her.

On the subject of him liking particular types of women eg. models whilst in the house l remember a conversation he had with pj after Adele was evicted and he was trying to understand why people were booing Adele. He then started to think about Mel from BB1 and he said that a similar thing happened to her. At first when he watched the show he didn;t like her but when he watched the uncut DVD he change his mind about her. Then he started going on and on about how he thought Mel was gorgeous and how he fancied her. He studied her profile and was stringing out all these facts about Mel having a degree in psychology and how she had all these body piercings and where they were on her body!

He also went on and on about Mel and Ama (the black girl from BB2) on several occassions when he said that he was using the zoom facility on his DVD to watch her shaving her body!

I read an interview with Spencer last week - can't remember which magazine, possibly OK - in which he was very cool about Kate, other than as a friend, and specifically stated that he preferred girls with dark hair.

And Kate's just had her roots done.....maybe she should let it grow out

I actually think that Alex and Adele will get together at some point in the future- but definitely not immediately. He needs time to take advantage of his legions of female admirers and get the 'fling' thing out of his system. He seems to actually LIKE Adele too much just to have a short term thing with her, as they seem to have a chemistry that would make them last as a couple. If they got together straightaway, it would all be over within months as there would be too much speculation and publicity about Alex, and I doubt he would want a 'proper' relationship in the public eye.

I remember when Spenser was having a conversation with Kate in the house and she asked about his last girlfriend. When Spenser said that his last girlfriend was a Mexican girl you should have seen the look on Kate's face. The look of disgust. She said "WHAT?!" in a stern voice which also confirmed my suspiscion that she was not impressed by this revelation.

for honesty read cruelty.
sandys remarks to johnny were unneccessary and cruel designed for no other reason than to hurt and humiliate .

...that man was the WORST ever person to darken the BB house....he was an attention grabber who failed miserably.....good riddance to him in his self imposed enigmatic isolation.


and if he was so honest would he not have tried to make alex more rational about the weegate incident by admitting his far more DISGUSTING kitchen bin incident. he let alex go on and on at jonny without admitting that he too had the occassional extra mural piddle.

I don't think the original poster is saying that a relationship between two different backgrounds is fundmentally wrong, just that if two lifestyles are wildly different from one another it makes things a lot more difficult.

The premise on which Alex and Adele would hypothetically base a relationship would be shaky enough without that hurdle to surmount. I

t's like the Breakfast Club--they may all get along well in that detention hall, but do you honestly think they're going to be all pally in public come Monday morning? Real life just isn't like that.


Sad to say, but Tim was right when Dermot asked him about a possible romance between Alex and Adele; Alex going to have women throwing themselves at him. More so.

I think we've all seen how horny Alex gets and it just so happened that Adele, like Kate, was an attractive female, and so she became the focus of some sexual frustration. This combined with Alex's tendancy to latch onto people with whom he has something in common on a one on one basis might have looked like the beginnings of a romance, but it was just the circumstances they were in. I very much doubt he'd go for her in the real world. I have complete faith that she'd go for him however.

I remember that well, and no, im not just Kate-bashing.

Er... I remember that watching that entire conversation live on E4 and it most certainly wasn't disgust. In fact, they never even show her face when she was asking him so how can you tell hmm? And why wouldn't she be impressed? What difference does it make? She was just surprised, like I was, its not every day that you meet a guy who's dated a Mexican girl, especially considering the distance.


the scrutineer

Scrutineer, I did see her face and l saw the expression. I have seen Kate surprised enough times to tell the difference between her expression when she is surprised and when she is disgusted. Lets just agree to disagree because l can't be bothered to get into petty arguements over this.

I remember the incident clearly. If you saw it and interpreted from a different perspective then fine, fair enough.

How's that not applied to Sandy?! After all he was the least 2 faced in that house and told Jonny and Kate what he thought of them. Yet people didn't like his 'honesty' and is still not "acceptable to people who can take a certain amount of rudeness provided it's honest. " Quote

Only once he knew that he was leaving the next morning. The man was an evil B******d, as he admitted trying to crush Jonnys hand. All in all he just tried to crush Jonny's spirit and is nothing but a coward of the worst kind.

I think you will find that Adele is more educated than Alex who finished his education at 16. On intellectual levels, Alex has often stated that he learnt alot from her. Quote

He has probably found out how Adele used her intelligence over him to "Plant Seeds & Watch them Grow" and able to manipulate him. If he hasn't I think it will eventually of been pointed out to him. However a friend took him for a longer drive than he expected on the Friday night and funny he has changed his attitude towards Adele. Hopefully Tim as well as they didn't talk either. I could see the atmosphere in there on Sunday. Best thing is Alex & Jonny seem alright.

Oh get over it with your "Plant Seeds & Watch them Grow" !! Both Alex and Adele talked openely about their views of the other HMs, Alex didn't need any encouragement or seeds. Else you will have to justify the same "seeds" about Jonny planting them on Kate about Alex ("oh I don't trust the guy", "err it's us against them", etc). At the end of the day Alex feels more betrayed by Kate than Adele, maybe because Adele didn't hurt him with her "manipulation" as Kate? Or maybe he will blame Adele for convincing him to make up with Kate and made him talk with her (Kate) just to realise that she (Kate) played him for a fool!.

Maybe with regards to a relationship. But I think you're forgetting Alex actually has the same mentality regarding the other HM's and that includes KATE, hence why particular people were drawn together in the first place. (Sandy, Adele, Alex and later Tim).

With regards to Tim, I think he has a handle on things. One night he and Alex discussed reasons Adele may have got booed. Tim knows Adele had a habit of discussing people and being pleasant to their face, and he said she may have passed the odd comment about him but he doubts it was that bad and he STILL enjoyed her company regardless, and all three of them would have lunch at 'daddy's'. In short nothing is going to be a surprise about Adele when they watch the tapes. And Alex will see overall she was supportive of him, which I think counts a lot to him.

Kate however has made numerous comments about Alex's masculinity and this has been recorded on tape. Once in the diary room she said 'There's someone out there who doesn't know if they're a boy or girl'. She was drunk. Apparently. He seems to be very touchy about that sort of thing and I don't imagine he will appreciate that .His parents don't seem to have a lot of regard for Kate either. Why? I think he will see through her seemingly innocuous comments, which she still had time to pass yesterday on E4. He thought she was an actress from very early on. I am sure on that long drive his friends will also have pointed this out to him.

In the outside world, I think the original factions will still exist, and you won't get the romance some people on here are hoping for between Kate and Alex.

Jonny and Alex? Jonny said yesterday he won't be keeping in touch with Alex, Adele, Sandy and Tim.

Adele don't need Alex. She can do a lot better than Alex. Someone like Dermot would suit her much better. Of course young people can fancy each other nothing wrong with that. Adele is too intelligent to expect anything more than good friendship with Alex.

It seems a lot of the response to this thread have the idea that Adele needs Alex. I believe it to be the other way round. It woud be Alex that need Adele.

In reply to some forum members posts, I believe anyone can aspire to whatever they want in life and fit in to any social circle if they really want to. Models come from all walks of life.

There tend to be a jealousy that Alex and Adele got so close and exploded when they both snogged. I can understand the disgust that some may feel. Alex couldn't wait to get his tongue in. No wonder the media had a change of heart regarding Jade and booted out Adele instead.

Come on, lighten up. They are friends and their is nothing anyone of us can say to change that.

INTERESTING......

It's amazing that after new light has been thrown on this matter all responses stopped. INTERERSTING INDEED.

Well give it some time and l am sure someone will disagree. But l agree that Adele would enjoy having a relationship with someone like Dermot who is older, intelligent etc.

Alex is intelligent in a common sense way, but not academically. I noticed that he tends to shy away and does not contribute towards academic based conversations.

what i find interesting is that ive got hold of alexs number and boy am i tempted ....advice anyone?

Hi Scarptor - Must say i agreed with a lot of what you said re alex needing adele....but mind taken up at he moment with the visual image of an exploding snog! : )

STOP! NO don't do anything. Try getting an e-mail address instead and tell him about this forum.

Hi Tess, what I meant was the explosion of the media frenzie afterwards!!! Then again you never know what exploded in Adele too

got that too plus address of home

lucky me ?
