BB9: Day 85 - Rex Calls Darnell A Backstabber

Rex branded Darnell a 'backstabber' after he confessed to nominating Nicole last week. Big Brother permitted housemates to discuss previous nominations after last nights Face To Face Nominations.

"That's not cool, dude," Rex replied. "Arsehole."

Darnell explained that he had done it for the good of the house, adding that he had felt guilty about it ever since. He said he had also felt bad that Mohamed had taken the blame but pointed out that he wasn't allowed to say anything.

"I'm very disappointed in you, dude," Rex sighed. "I never thought that. That's proper stabbed in the back. Backstabber."

He went on to ask what Nicole had done to Darnell to deserve it, but Darnell insisted that it wasn't about that and repeated that he had liked her but knew he had to do it for the group.

"That's a really low blow," Rex claimed. "I expected more."

Later, as Darnell attempted to speak to him, Rex told him: "I'm not even talking to you. I don't care."

BB9: Day 79 - Nicole's Eviction Interview

Nicole was the tenth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house and got a frosty reception as she left the house. With 94% of the vote, it became clear the public wanted Nicole out. Maybe the 19 year old was just misunderstood or lived under the shadow of her boyfriend Rex? Could it be that arriving 57 days into BB9 was just too late to be accepted by the"group"?

Here is Nicole's eviction interview with Davina McCall, as seen on Channel 4 and on the official website (link below):


D:That was quite a heavy reception you had out there. What was that like for you?

N: Obviously it wasn't very nice, but I was never expecting cheers. It was such a hard situation in there for me to be Rex's girlfriend and to be accepted in that House as a new housemate. I always sort of had a link to Rex, I was never really myself, like, known as myself. They knew who they wanted in the Final - and I was just not part of it at all.

D: So, when you got nominated, you did say 'I'm going to walk tomorrow', and you didn't. Why didn't you?

N: No, because I was just really upset. I just wanted to come home, and then I thought, 'No, I'm not walking, I don't want to be a quitter.' I only had a couple of days. I knew I was going, so I thought 'I'll just wait.'

D: It's hard being nominated. I think it's much harder than anybody gives you credit for.

N: Because no one ever really wanted to get to know me, they weren't that interested.

D: But it's not just you - everybody gets told they're up for eviction.

N: It's not nice, and Rex didn't like it either, 'cause all of his friends nominated me.I was never myself in there.

D: Who is the real you? What are you like?

N: I'm so fun, and bubbly. Just not in there.

D: Let's talk about your and Rex's relationship, because people were kind of gripped by it.

N: That's not the way it is, it's just hard for me, 'cause I've heard all the stories that have really upset me that I've had to deal with.

D: But you must have known when you went in there that it was going to be almost impossible to keep that to yourself.

N: Yeah, I knew that, but it was just so hard for me, because he always kept on about him trusting me, and it's just not an issue at all. I wish I could have said, 'Rex, you know what I've had to put up with - it's been so hard for me to stick to you and forget about it.'

D: How do you view your relationship?

N: We are so strong, but the last couple of months, we haven't actually been that strong.

D: Do you bicker that much at home?

N: Yeah.

D: Was he the same with as he usually is with you, or was he different in the House?

N: The same.

D: Does he always tell you what to wear?

N: Yeah. Like the heels - I am nowhere near as tall as him!

D: Okay, so let's just discuss the Michael Jackson. This week you were Michael Jackson in the Shopping Task, and the way that you and Rex treated Mikey was difficult. What do you think?

N: I don't think that at all. He was always commenting at me the whole time, like saying really nasty comments to me.

D: I can understand that he has said some mean things to you, but totally being naïve about his disability when he's trying to copy a dance... you've got to let him try.

N: I did! I helped him but he really did upset me and really did hurt me. And Rex and I found it hard to teach him because we had to learn the dance, and then we had to teach Mikey the dance as well.

D: Some people found that quite hard to watch, your behaviour towards Mikey, and I think that's why you potentially had such a high percentage of the vote.

N: I don't admit that at all. I actually got on with Mikey the best in the first week of Hell. I really did get on with him.

D: Well, unfortunately I have to tell you that I think that this last week is the reason you got such a high percentage. Your percentage was 94%, which is the highest percentage we've ever had, ever. It may even be a world record, I'm not sure! But on the upside, you were a great Michael Jackson. Thinking about that, would you have changed anything?

N: Yeah. I have absolutely no regrets - I don't - but if you thought I was like that towards Mikey then I apologise. I actually did like the guy and we had a laugh. But I would change a few things - not being so miserable all the time, being annoying I guess.

D: Nicole - you were a great housemate. Here are your best bits.

BB9: Day 79 - Kat Cries Over Rex Comment

It's been a tough few days as housemates from the "group" turned on each other. Next up for an argument, tiff or blubber were Kathreya and Rex.

She was really upset that Rex has been nasty to her and accused her of picking on Nicole.

"Anything Nicole says to you," said Rex, "you pick on her."

"Me?" asked Kat, "pick on Nicole? You've got it wrong."

Kat and Rachel tried to ignore Rex's harsh words but Kat walked out into the garden, trying to hide her tears.

"Great," said Rex, watching her go, "now Kat's crying."

Rachel followed and joined Kat and Mo in the garden, listening patiently to Kat's frustrated outburst.

"I'm fed up with people backstabbing," said Kat. "I didn't even know what Nicole said. I didn't say anything to anyone."

"Rex is just upset because Nicole's up for nomination," said Mo.

"Rex is looking to blame someone," said Rachel, "any little thing that happens now they see as an attack. It's not fair. It's not fair at all. No-one thinks you're a bully."

Kat was inconsolable, Mo and Rachel did their best to comfort her as she sat sobbing to them trying to explain between tears what had happen. Rex came and apologised to Kat but will it be enough to stop her crying?

Today Rex had the task of completing this weeks Shopping Budget as Head of House, but Big Brother had some bad news for him.......... the housemates must now pay rent on the bedrooms!

As Head of House, Rex had to choose which bedroom the housemates would be living in. Having made his choice, Rex went to the bathroom and told Lisa, Mikey, Rachel and Sara about their new situation.

"Big Brother is charging us rent on the bedrooms," Rex told the others. "It's £15 for B Block and it's £150 for the Luxury Bedroom."

"Let's get back into B Block then," said Rachel.

"B Block," said Mikey.

"No way!" gasped Lisa. "Here's the thing," said Rex, "if we go into B Block there's no hair straighteners, no hair dryers, no nothing."

"I don't care," said Sara.

"One hundred and fifty pound per person?" asked Nicole.

"Nooo," said Rex, "for everyone."

"What have you chosen?" asked Lisa.

"I'm not allowed to say," said Rex.

"One hundred and fifty pounds?" asked a horrified Mikey.

"You're not allowed to say anything," Nicole told Mikey. "I'm not going out tomorrow looking like this."

Nicole didn't take the news too well, "I told you," Nicole said to Rex, "why didn't you believe me? Why were you so sure in making me believe I wasn't up?"

"I don't wanna talk about it," sighed Rex.

"What's there not to talk about?" said Nicole angrily.

"You can't talk about anything to do with nominations," Rex reminded her.

"I know I'm going anyway," Nicole muttered.

"It's part of the game Nicole," Rex said calmly. "Three weeks here with me is better than no weeks here with me."

Michael was called a "miserable old git" by Rex after complaining about late night noise levels of Rex and Nicole were keeping him awake.

"How the hell can I get to sleep when there's all this chitter-chatter?" Michael complained. However Rex and Nicole continued regardless, "Will you guys shut up?" he shouted. "F**king racket."

Michael reminded them there was a Shopping Task ahead. Rex replied that as Head of House, he wouldn't be involved.

"You're selfish," Michael shot back, but Rex joked that it had been "established since day one".Rex and Nicole continued to giggle, causing a frustrated Michael to move to the basic bedroom."I'll see you guys tomorrow," he sighed, wearily.

BB9: Day 74 VIDEO - Girls Comfort Nicole

Nicole had been in tears again as the strain of being in the Big Brother house took it's toll on the 19 year old, plus going out with Rex doesn't make life any easier!

After an evening of games, alcohol and laughter it just went down hill for Nicole. She went to talk to Big Brother in the Diary Room and was a bit teary eyed when she returned. Then she told Rex to leave her alone.

Sat in the Ashtray, Kat joined Nicole and listened as she said, ""I'm just known as Rex's girlfriend and that's it, everyone else is in the same position here except me and people don't really want to know me. It's really hard. I feel left out all the time."

"Earlier you looked like you were enjoying the conversation," said Kathreya wondering what could've upset Nicole so much.

Then the truth started to come out and the truth was called Rex.

"I do everything for him," said Nicole. "I stand by him and he obviously doesn't appreciate it," she added.

The rest of the Big Brother girls tried to cheer Nicole up, as this video shows - it proved harder than they thought!

BB9: Day 74 - Rex "People Won't Break Us Up"

Rex was getting a few things off his chest to Big Brother in the Diary Room today but was confident the public would not split Nicole and him up if she faced eviction.

"I don't think she'll face eviction though because people won't break us up. That would be a low blow, if she was up for eviction this week. That would be the nail in the coffin for her and she'd throw the towel in," he said.

Talking of Nicole he told Big Brother, "She's struggling in here. I think she could be more affectionate towards me and other housemates."

"I don't think sticking so close to me is the best thing. When she arrived I did try to give her space but whenever I walked away she'd say: 'Why did you go without me?' She clearly doesn't want me to leave her alone for one second."
