Nominations #7

Here's a run down of tonights noms;
Joel-
2 points: "Laura. She is serious when she wants to be and when other things are important to the House she's not as serious." BB asks Joel to clarify his nomination, and he says simply "she's a hypocrite by taking things seriously when it suits her".
1 point: "Andrew for strategic reasons. He's won FNL three times now and is a big threat."

For someone who is only in the house to "have fun" and for the "experience" he sure gets upset when they lose money, and is very wary of Andrew's prowess during the FNL games.

Thomas is next.
2 points: "Laura for consistently getting fines and showing little or no remorse. She doesn't try as hard as the rest of the House."
1 point: "Travis for trying to stop people singing in the House." BB tells Thomas his nomination is not accepted. Thomas says Travis tries to stop Daniela and Laura singing, and again BB tells him this is unacceptable. Thomas continues: "I really like music and I like listening to other HMs sing." BB tells Thomas: "Last week you said he was a nice guy. If you're nominating for personality you need to explain it." Thomas tries again: "He's trying to stifle HMs' personalities." Finally BB tells Thomas: "That isn't good enough. BB is awarding you one nomination point. Next time BB will put you for nomination."

If Thomas isn't the most wishy-washy, brain dead goink in the house, I don't know who is. I really can't work him out. He reminds me of a limp fish that needs to be thrown back to sea as shark bait.

Daniela-2 points: "Andrew. Basically he's the person I've got to know least." BB stops her: "Saying you don't like one HM more than another is unacceptable. Be specific. What are you trying to say about him?" Daniela clarifies: "When I try to make conversation it goes nowhere. He is not an open person, and he doesn't try to get to know people like I do."
1 point: "Laura. She whinges every time we have to do something. She gives it attitude when I try to help her, and it makes it difficult to get things done.

What she REALLY means, is that Andrew is a dominant character and therefore a threat to her building herself a position of esteem in the house, and that Laura is a two faced gossip monger. I wish these turds would say what they really think.

Andrew nominates.
2 points: "Daniela is extremely inconsiderate and selfish. Every night when I go to bed she yells, and even when you tell her about it and she continues to do it."
1 point: "Laura. I have very little respect for Laura. She criticises people for running the water too long and then she can use a whole roll of toilet paper in one day."

Let me translate. Daniella, because she had the gall to talk about him behind his back and dare to call him a "game player" and Laura, because she doesn't bow to his status as King shit of the house.

Zoran-2 points: "Laura is more concerned about being right than doing what's right. She complains a lot, and last night she was picking a scab and it was gross."
1 point: "Daniela. She was condescending towards me and made me feel quite small. She told Emma I was going to snap and I thought that might affect my relationship with Emma."

He was actually being quite honest. He's not the deepest person in the house.

Laura-2 points: "Zoran with a strategic vote, because in here all the boys are in competition." BB tells her there are lots of boys in the House, and asks why she is putting this particular boy up. Laura replies: "He's a specific threat to me because he is a boy and boys don't seem to be voted out, and his personality is similar to mine."
1 point: "Andrew. This week I had a discussion with the House and I felt like everything I've said he was arguing against regardless of whether I was right or wrong. He doesn't listen to what I have to say." BB tells Laura her nomination is accepted – just: "Next time be prepared or Big Brother will nominate you."

Laura can be quite scatterbrained at times, and I really think she believes her "cuteness" will get her by with BB. WRONG.

Aleisha-2 points: "Daniela for personality. She is dominating and demanding. It's her opinion, it's her way or no way. She shuts down everything I say and speaks over me."
1 point: "Jamie for going under the radar. In group discussions he doesn't have an opinion. He only has an opinion in smaller groups and I think he does it in order to avoid being nominated."

Little Aleisha can be very articulate and intelligent at times. I'm hoping we see more of this from her now that Emma is gone.

Billy-2 points: "Laura. She has a disregard to House rules, I feel like I'm constantly picking up after her and telling her what she does wrong. Her personality is annoying because she ignores me, and whatever I say falls on deaf ears."
1 point: "Daniela for personality, for blatantly disregarding the rules as well. She doesn't care about the House."

How has this dude evaded nominations for so long? He's the ultimate UTR housemate, because he doesn't say an awful lot in a group situation but is a raging bitch behind the scenes with Alicia and Joel and Zoran.

Travis-2 points: "Two bangers going to gold rock Laura for costing us so much with her fines and she just wants to be a rock singer and I like to eat and she makes my time in the house less enjoyable."
1 point: "Daniela - another gold rock who is costing us so much in fines for singing too. The point is all these fines are costing me money and I like to eat."

How has this guy not been awarded nom points from BB for the ridiculous way he votes???

Jamie-2 points: "Joel. I feel I'm not seeing the real Joel in here, and I struggle to get to know him." BB tells him this is unacceptable. Jamie says he likes him the least and is told that's not valid either. Jamie eventually makes his nomination by saying: "I don't think he's showing his true colours."
1 point: Jamie nominates Aleisha, but tries to use the same unacceptable nominations he used for Joel ("least in common with her", "struggle to get along with her"). BB tells Jamie: "You are saying the same things three times in a row. Nominate properly." Jamie gets very flustered and fails to give a valid reason for nominating Aleisha. Eventually he runs out of time and BB awards him a point for failing to nominate properly.

How funny was that? The self proclaimed smartest person in the house, the one with the highest IQ has more trouble than the likes of Aliesha and Travis when it comes to nominations. It must grind his gears something fierce to be outsmarted by BB.

After all the HMs finish nominating, Laura is top of the leader board with 12 nomination points, followed by Daniela and Andrew. When Andrew realises he is nominated he looks shocked, but only for a second. He's up with the two HMs he nominated.
Andrew then activates his twist by removing himself and placing Joel in his place. I was surprised by this, I thought for sure he'd put Aleisha up for eviction.

I'm tipping the 'dumb as a sack of hair' voters will get rid of Daniella this week. Personally, as much as I do find Joel to be somewhat amusing, he doesn't add a great deal to the house and he should be the one to go. Plus, do we really want another girl to be evicted? It seems every year the house becomes a boys club and I for one am sick of it.

VOTE OUT JOEL AND SAVE THE GIRLS!!
