You may believe that; others are more sceptical.

Yes I do agree.Alex is such a deep and complex individual that it is difficult to be entirely sure but I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt.I base that on what I saw inside the house-well the last 4 weeks- rather than the reported history before and the looking through the media thing since leaving.I remain an Alex admirer despite what I may have said half in jest-in this forum.


seriousely though he should be very careful he doesn't get a reputation of being close to the rotters and a potential source-or no one will want to talk to him at these do's.
I am sure Katie would have said hello and asked whether he had a certain item with him!
How did it ever happen that the party animal never gets to go to any parties?

Ah !! But surely Kate is no longer a 'wannabe' she is an 'is'

Along with maybe Brian, (and erm Alison ) she should no longer be compared with other HMs but with her fellow TV presenters. Go on then, have a field day !!

But we stray off topic

Was Alex a 'wannabee' in the classic BB mould ?

Well he would have to be incredibly thick not to realise that appearing on BB would raise his profile and it seems quite likely that this would be one of the reasons for doing it. Fair enough, nobody goes on it to reduce their profile, do they ?

What saves Alex from the scorn heaped upon most of the others is his rather more dignified behaviour after BB

Although he has appeared in the tabloids and done some questionable things , I never had the impression that he he was hawking himself around desperate to get on TV or in the papers.

Some people might say that this is the reason he has faded away a bit, ie he or his agent should have hawked him around getting those TV spots and tabloid stories, but at the end of the day it does seem that he wasn't desperate enough and at least has pretty much still got his integrity intact

As a sometime Alex knocker I have to say that he is still the one I most look forward to seeing on telly, in fact really the only one. It seems as if Jon might be following the same course and I hope he does, they may appear less often but at least will be worth watching when they do turn up


Oh sod it !!. I was having porridge for dinner but have now got a brown lump stuck to the bottom of the pan. Don't seem to be having much luck with cereal products these days

He strengths are not particularly in presenting, quizzing or interviewing others.... or reading from a script or autocue....

what heresy

alex is absolutely superb at tv presenting
hes been nothing short of excellent and the stuff he's chosen to do have been a revelation.
tv bosses cant fail to been impressed and give him lots more offers, exciting projects will be forthcoming....

how dare anyone suggest otherwise

call yourself an Alex fan? wheres your faith? Humpf !

They're as effective as Ian Duncan Smith.

Tell them Alex is doing quite well, and is happy with life,...they're like flies round shit, wanting to get a dig in.

Hand them something on a plate, ..and they just don't have anything to say.
no, just cant be bothered to kick a man whos down we're too nice anyway for that
