Rex: secret genius or stupid idiot?


Say what you like about Rex, but the guy's honest. OK, so telling Rachel she's "boring" wasn't exactly necessary, but it was mostly true. Throughout the whole of the series so far, Rex has probably been the only housemate who hasn't bitched behind anyone's back. If he has a problem with someone, he tends to tell them face to face, and it's this that has assured him loyal fans from the start. However, today Rex has done something that is going to send the house into a total state of panic, and we can't decide whether it's totally genius, or really really stupid. As we all know, the housemates failed the Cops and Robbers task, so today it was up to the Heavenly housemates to write up the weekly shopping list for the measly £77 budget. Rex made the daring decision to spend £57 on surprise treats for the group, leaving just £20 for actual food. The chef said, "F**k the budget. We’re not going to get anything good out of this budget anyway." He then proceeded to complete the list in just 10 minutes, before telling a slightly concerned Stu, "I don’t care if people hate me for doing it." Fair enough. We think this plan could go one of two ways. Either, BB will be forced to provide the housemates with food as part of their special treats to stop them from actually starving, or BB will call Rex's bluff and let the group suffer for a whole week. It's a brave move by the cheeky chef – and one we don't think anyone else in that house would have the balls to pull. Rex has been his usual self for the rest of the day, moving his snide comments over to so-called pal Mohamed. "Mo should be evicted because he’s greedy, he’s lazy and he stinks the place out," he told the cameras earlier. He also told the group that he "only drinks Cristal because it's Cristal" and not because he likes it. Sigh... At this rate, and if he survives on Friday, Rex can pretty much guarantee he'll be up next week. But we really hope he doesn't go anywhere.
