[Beanie]

Ok, been nearly a week now so plenty time to weigh them up to some degree - any thoughts?

Kat - Gonna gain momentum for a while yet - not near any of the arguments, not gonna say anything out of place, and likely to be at the centre of many of the highlights. Long term tho the language barrier will stop her getting involved in any of the serious discussions/stories and that will prevent her getting the support needed to win.

Michael - seemed very strange during the thong incident, and I reckon we'll see more of that in time...dodgy personality.

Rachel - Bit too nice - voters won't really relate to her and she seems a bit weak in arguments. Very vanilla.

Luke - I don't see the voting public relating to Luke either - all very 'ooo where's me washboard' and i can't imagine young uns picking up the phone in their droves.

Darnell - he's got mileage - from the highlights yesterday he seems very level headed and should be on the right side of any argument. Decent character who I think has a decent shout at this.

Dale - not as arrogant or idiotic as his VT but he isn't really doing anything of note. Too much space between the ears and while he will get away with it for a few weeks yet he's got to develop in some way to have any chance.

Rex - Can't imagine a posh fella getting much support without any other good reason and I don't see much substance(yet) - no reason to vote out but no reason to vote for.

Mohamed - not sure his heads quite in the right place - his diary room moments show a bit of a selfish side - seems to love his hair a bit too much and otherwise is a bit disappointing compared to his VT which looked promising.

Mario - not a sniff. Funny to watch tho.

Jennifer - Looks a tad overpriced to me - head in the right place and will come out best out of any potential relationship with Dale.

Rebecca - should go early - nice enough but won't get support from other young girls - bit of a Bonnie character.

Dennis - horrid fellow - should become the next hate fiigure if he outlasts alex.

Lisa - something not right about her - should be gone early.

Steph - not sure yet - if she survives then it could go either way as she's shown both good and bad traits so far.

Sylvia - might go before Alex as BB may sacrifice a few pawns to keep the queen in - if she outlasts her tho then there's enough about her to change her fortunes.

Alex - making the show at the minute - ridiculously aggressive and gone as soon as up. As usual tho, might survive another week or two if there's a twist.

So i'm still not convinced by any of the market leaders and it's there for the taking if someone develops a spine and stands up to Alex, while still having a fun side. Tempted by small punts on Darnell and Jen at the mo.
