NOMINATION day has arrived. Contain your excitement please.

Bithday boy Mohamed woke up ready to enjoy his 24th birthday in the BB house. But this isn't a day for fun - it's a day for backstabbing, plotting and doing everything you can to save your own skin.

Mario did congratulate him, before starting a deep conversation while the morning alarm bells were still ringing. I'm sure the first thing Mohamed wanted to be told on his birthday was that he 'hadn't been himself recently' while he was still wiping the sleep out of his eyes.

Alexandra is first up in the diary room to make her nominations. Huffing and puffing the banshee plumps for Rex (one of the only housemates who has had the courage to stand up to her bile) and... former best pal Dennis. The knives are out already!

St Helens' prettyboy Dale nominated Mario and Alexandra, but we don't get to see that because he has all the personality of a shop dummy.

Apparently Darnell opted for Mario and Lisa. Boooo. Hardly surprising though.

Dennis has also chosen the Italian Stallion... and his ex-best friend Alexandra! Looks like they've both gone for the jugular. "I really, really stuck by her". Yeah, for a week. Let's hope they didn't buy Forever Friends necklaces.

Jennifer has nominated Mario and Lisa too. Looks like the housemates don't like living with a couple. I lived with a couple once. The girl ended up punching the boy in the head and breaking his ear drum. Watch out Mario!

Kathreya is up. This could take a while. She plumps for the safe option and picks the witch. But who will join Alexandra? It's her partner in crime, fellow hag Sylvia. Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

Lisa's up. She picks Jennifer. Apparently she thinks she ignores her and she's jealous. Better pick Alexandra now love. Sylvia! That's a bad move. She may find her and loverboy are facing eviction thanks to that decision.

Luke goes for Mohamed based on his 'ridiculous' appetite. Then Mario, on account of the dad/grandad banging on about Mikey's disabilty. "Don't you think Mikey knows he's blind? He's bringing it up to make sure the public know that Mario cares." Damning stuff.

Mario picks Sylvia. She spends too much time putting on make up and not enough in the kitchen. And then... Dennis! Fair enough, but Alexandra could be let off the hook here...

Mikey. Howdy. He picks Alexandra. About time. Then Dennis. Sounds like Dennis' dinner speech didn't earn his fellow Scotsman's approval. "Dennis is the biggest bitch in the house, there's no doubt about it." Say what you think Michael.

Mohamed chose Alexandra and Dennis. Rachel chose Alexandra and Sylvia. Rebecca chose Alexandra and Darnell (eh?) and Rex chose Alexandra and Mario. Unlucky Alexandra! But it's bad news for Warrington's man of the moment - he has six votes and will also face the public vote.

Sylvia picks Mario and Alexandra. The terrible trio have all turned on each other. Et tu, Brute?

So, Alexandra - nine. Mario - seven. Sylvia and Dennis - four each.

Don't worry Mario - there's more chance of Gordon Brown winning the next general election than there is of you losing out to Alexandra.

But the week after...
