Day 7 round up: Dexter saved as Sallie rages
Day 7 in the Big Brother House was a day of two halves... who would have thought as housemates lazed carefree on a sunny afternoon that by nightfall there would be more heated one-on-ones than in popular sporting event, Wimbledon?
Well, Dexter actually. "We've had it far too easy so far today," he muttered while the sun still shone, literally and metaphorically. And sure enough the Suggestion Box task arrived, the first of two events that would apply a giant mixing spoon to the dynamic.
The task involved housemates anonymously submitting their 'suggestions' to each other via a box; a selection were then read out by Charlie. Dan was told off for being too bitchy about Michael, a suggestion that you should remember, for like Chekhov's gun it shall be important later...
Later has arrived... The housemates were gathered on the sofas. Surprisingly to all (except Michael, standardly) Michael was asked live on television to save one of the three nominated housemates from eviction. What no one knew (except Michael, standardly) was that he was simply a messenger for your votes and that the 30-second pleas Dexter, Gina and Sallie gave had zero bearing on events.
Dexter's plea involved the confession that he was the one who accused Dan of bitchiness. In the most dramatic of all possible outcomes, Michael then saved Dexter making it appear as if this confession was responsible and causing Sallie and Dan to turn on the celebrity publicist.
As late night turned into early morning conversations between Dan, Michael, Dexter and Sallie played out in endless combinations. So far it seems like Dexter - high on his new security â is smoothing things over with everyone, despite both Sallie and Dan having a lot to vent at him, while at the other end of the spectrum Michael and Sallie believe each other to be evil.
Can things get even worse between them on Michael's last full day in the House? We'll be the first to let you know...
