This week it’s Sylvia Barrie and Mohamed Mohamed facing the boot. I think Sylvia’s the favourite for the boot.
So who nominated who?

The latest contestant to enter the Big Brother house is..
The horror, the horror… I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at another custard cream as long as I live.
In the second show, from half ten till eleven, Davina will be interviewing Alexandra and then shoving a new housemate into the house.
Big Brother has realised a few clues about them.
- They’ve done nude modelling in the past.
- The most insulting thing anyone could do is to call them ugly.
- They have a rather odd shaving habit.
- They have a five-year-old daughter.
- They hate people touching their nose.
- They’d rate themselves eight out of ten for attractiveness.
- They’re single at the moment, for the first time ever.
- They don’t read books.
- They think people will either love or hate them.
- Their friends describe them as “a daft cheeky tart and flirt”
The first clip shows the conversation between Alexandra De Gale and Darnell Swallow that resulted in her removal. (It starts around 2 minutes into the clip.)
The second and third show her being called to the diary room to explain her behaviour and then being asked to leave.
Also, included in the third clip is the reaction of the other housemates to the news of her departure.

In spite of Alex’s removal, tomorrow’s Live Eviction show will still go ahead without the eviction obviously. But Davina will be inteviewing Alexandra De Gale.
There is also going to be a new housemate going into the Big Brother house. I just hope it’s not Stephanie McMichael. She was voted out fair and square.

Following Alexandra’s departure via the Diary Room, the housemates were asked to gather her belongings together.
Dale, Darnell, Dennis, Rebecca and Sylvia volunteered for the job and went off to the Luxury Bedroom.
“[Alexandra] was warned before.” Sylvia said, as they did the packing. “She could be the loveliest, happiest person. It was just the other side of her that got her in this kind of trouble.”
In the Living Area, the other Housemates were also discussing Alexandra’s confrontational behaviour.
“It was totally unacceptable the way she kicked off,” said Mario. “It was horrendous.”
“The only thing I thought about her was ‘what is she doing here?’” said Lisa. “She didn’t seem happy.”
“She wanted to cause arguments the whole time,” said Rex. “I haven’t seen one argument she wasn’t connected to.”
“At last we’ll have no more grievances and all that,” said Mario.
“It got to the point where I didn’t want to be in the same room as her,” said Rex. “She was so rude.”
“I am surprised they’ve taken her out,” said Rachel.
“They must have had a good reason,” said Rex.
The following is the Channel 4 transcript of the unseen conversation Alexandra De Gale had with Darnell that lead to the decision to remove her from the Big Brother house.
Extract 1
22.17 – in living room discussing the fact that Alex has been nominated
Darnell: Sylvia is keeping it real, said if it had been me, I’d have thrown water over somebody.
Alex: I’m not throwing water at anyone. It’s bigger than that. This is three months, do you know what I mean? Three months in a house. Everyone’s got to come outside the house. Personal offence is never forgotten, do you know what I mean? We’re just inside the house. I’ve got a very, very, very, very, very strong team outside the house, strong, so solid, strong. I look forward to whatever the result. If I get out first, I get out, make the plans. Everyone’s got to come out after that. Every single one of you come out afterwards, remember I told you. Like I say, my team is strong, so strong.Extract 2
22.20
Alex: I just can’t wait to see my mans and them and see what their plans are, who they got…I’m not talking about those mans, I’m talking about my gangster friends.
Darnell: Collabos.
Alex: They got some instructions to follow out.Extract 3
22.30
Darnell: That’s what I mean… I’ve never seen anything like this, the people in here aren’t real. It’s like that movie shit, like movie people in here.
Alex: If you go you get to make all the plans, that you wanna make. When you’re in here you can’t do certain things. In my life I’m used to doing certain things. You know people piss me off and I do something like. I can’t actually do that while I’m here. But like I say, I get to go out, see everyone’s friends, I get to see their family. I get to do the shit that I wanna do. Pow, pow, pow.
Alexandra has been removed from the Big Brother house for repeated unacceptable behaviour. She was called to the Diary Room at 8.25pm and will not be returning to the house.
Alexandra De Gale had been up for the first eviction of the ninth series along with Mario Marconi on Friday, but this has now been cancelled.
Alexandra, who bookies said was the most hated housemate ever, had been warned twice previously in the Diary Room about her behaviour and sparked hundreds of complaints to TV watchdog Ofcom.
She was first warned about her behaviour after launching a volley of abuse at a housemate over burnt chips.
She also attacked Rex for borrowing her cigarette lighter and she was warned for a second time after calling Mohamed a “disgrace” following a task.
Channel 4 realised the following statement about Alex’s removal from the Big Brother house:
This official statement from Channel 4
Contestant Alexandra De-Gale has been removed from the Big Brother House for repeatedly breaking the programme’s rules on conduct by behaving in an unacceptable and sometimes intimidating manner towards fellow housemates.
Alex was in discussion with Darnell in the living room shortly after 10.15pm yesterday evening (17th June), with a number of other housemates in proximity.
Discussing her nomination for this week’s eviction, Alex was heard to make apparently intimidatory comments about her intentions on leaving the House. Shortly afterwards, Dennis, Rebecca and Rex discussed her comments in the garden and were clear that they found her behaviour to be threatening, a view that Rex repeated subsequently during a Diary Room discussion with Big Brother.
This incident follows a series of arguments involving Alex since the ninth series of Big Brother started on 5th June. She has twice been called to the diary room and reminded of the rules governing behaviour towards other housemates.
There has been a strong negative reaction from viewers to Alex’s behaviour with Channel 4 having received a significant number of comments since launch.
Her latest remarks were not screened via the ‘as live’ streaming on E4 but were reported up to senior production staff. In consultation with executives at Channel 4 the decision was taken to remove Alex from the house on the grounds that she had repeatedly broken the programme’s rules governing housemate behaviour, despite twice being reminded of her responsibilities.
Alex was called to the Diary Room at approximately 8pm on Wednesday 18th June to be informed of the decision and was removed from the House without further contact with other contestants. The remaining housemates were informed of Big Brother’s decision at approximately 9.15pm.
Alex was one of two housemates nominated for eviction this week and as a result, in line with the terms and conditions covering phone voting on Big Brother, the latest eviction vote has been suspended.
Angela Jain, Head of E4 and Big Brother at Channel 4, said: “Alex has said her comments were not intended seriously and has apologised, but those comments will be widely interpreted as having been intended to intimidate. Big Brother has very clear rules about housemates conduct and that kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable.
Other housemates have said they found her comments to be threatening and we believe that is a reasonable conclusion for them to have reached given the way Alex has behaved previously. She had already been spoken to twice about her behaviour and, like all housemates, was clearly informed before entering the house that she faced eviction if she acted in an unacceptable manner.”
