I never liked Rex and I'm starting to like him less and less now.

He's just plain mean-spirited. Who enjoys being around someone that spouts off sarcastic, bitchy comments alllllll the time? He not only does it to his enemies, but also to his friends. I know that if I lived in the house with him, I'd nominate him. He's a huge instigator who enjoys making other people upset/hurting other people's feelings for kicks and I can't stand those kinds of people.

St Grace Dent addresses this on her blog as well... I didn't post the whole thing cos I figured people who are interested will just go to the official site, but for reference, it's below. To be honest, I don't think Grace's blogs are as good this year as they were for, say, season 7, and I think it has something to do with writing for C4 instead of Radiotimes. And I also don't agree with her opinions on certain housemates this year (such as Rachel), and we're usually on the same page. But she's made enough good points to make it worthwhile reading. The photo they have of her on the site is appalling, though, she looks like a weasel!

"'The thing is Rachel,' Little Lord Fauntle-rex told her on Saturday, sneering at Rachel's adversity to take risks and hold grand opinions, 'You'll never be anything more than average.' Later he assured her 'You'll never be rich'. Y'know something Rex? I think she knew that already.

She wasn't born into wealth, as you claim to be all day long, so statistically there was always more chance she'd never experience the moral vastitude you must from throwing mobile phones in the bin or standing near the Queen in the Royal enclosure or spaffing £100 every day on black cabs and dinner.

How did you get your job working at your dad's chain of restaurants Rex? Did you walk into the interview and throw down some strong opinions? Did you really show those guys picking the team that you never sit on the fence? Or was there something bigger at play? I suppose I'll never work that mystery out.Although I've been a fan of Rex and he makes me laugh a lot, I don't think he's the harmless straight-man with the HILARIOUS bon mots I quite took him for.

Rex has no empathy for anyone less privileged than himself. Anyone who's had a less smooth ride financially in life - i.e: everyone in the House. Rex can be exceptionally mean and brattish, which I bet is funny, until it's your turn to get it in the neck when it becomes quite different.

Rex thinks nothing of shouting 'shut up I'm not f***** interested in your opinion' halfway through someone else speaking. He claimed in his intro VT that he has no friends in the outside world. Gosh I wonder why? I thought it was sweet to see how proud Rex was of forming a friendship with Mohammed. But it soon became apparent Rex hasn't a clue how to get along day to day. At nursery I don't think he ever learned the basic rules of playing nicely.

Rex thinks nothing of shouting random insults at people. Mo is 'stupid', 'an imbecile', 'thick'. Rex will walk over people's opinions (no Halal meat again), He'll sneer at the whole Big Brother experience for days on end. Then after he's huffed and puffed himself out, he'll happily seek Kat and Rachel out to endure one of his long, clingy, self-absorbant moans about how he misses his girlfriend and his family cos they love him and no-one else does. OH BOO HOO HOO HOO!

If this is how Rex behaves in real life I can only assume his girlfriend is so much of a doormat she makes Rachel look like Janet Street Porter. Oh and if Rex missed his girlfriend so much he wouldn't have been playing footsy in the bath with Steph within about 6 days of getting there."
