A WEEK is almost up in the Big Brother house and the battle lines have been drawn.

Tonight's show gave nice Rachel and pathetic Dennis a chance to earn their fellow housemates luxury food in a Hot Buzz task.

Navigating a long wire with a hoop and the threat that each slip of the hand led to their fellow housemates suffering an electric shock, tears were soon flowing all round.

The pain proved too much for mouthy Alexandra, who was the first to quit on account of her 'principles'. Fortunately she was branded a 'failure' by Rex and the chef also pointed out her inability to hold a normal conversation. He may soon become my favourite housemate if he keeps putting that misery of a woman in her place.

Eventually half the house was in tears, with subsequent arguments springing up left, right and centre. Mohamed and Sylvia, Alexandra and Rex, Alexandra and... well just about everybody.

It appears the camp has already divided into two main groups - those who have a long term future in the house and those stupid enough to align themselves with the giant Croydon forehead. The only thing more annoying than Alexandra is the behaviour of her lackeys Dennis and Sylvia, particularly Sylvia who is aping the worst of her mentor's mannerisms at every given opportunity.

With the first D-Day looming the terrible trio are very fortunate they are not up for eviction - I'd kick all three out now given the opportunity.
