The House Reacts to Nominations

FOR some, Lee and Jonny's nominations have come as a huge surprise, but for those who have been keeping an eye on events in the House over the last week, it is less of a shock.

The nominees themselves seemed to take it in their stride. "I had a feeling," Jonny told Lee afterwards. "I don't feel as though I've done anything wrong, but it's just whether you still fit into the equation."

"I'm cool," Lee replied, "It's a game of dejection. I kind of want to go home. And to be honest, you couldn't be up against a tougher guy than you. I think I'm going on Friday."

But Jonny couldn't resist a snipe as he gazed through the House divide. "There's one thing: the evictee will be from rich side, not over there."

Since Sophie's arrival nine days ago, Lee has shifted his attentions to her rather than Adele, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by some. Furthermore, his apparent lack of loyalty to his girlfriend outside has also shocked others.

For his part, Jonny has been incredibly quiet since his bubbly soul mate and friend Alison was evicted last Friday. He has since admitted he misses both her and his family.

The Geordie's introspection might have something to do with Alison's departure, but it could also be that several of the housemates consider themselves above him. He and Kate have often incurred the wrath of some housemates for their never-ending banal chit-chat.

While Alex has built bridges on the poor side of the House with PJ and Spencer thanks to the 'Blitz Spirit' that has emerged there, Jonny does not seem so at ease on the poor side of the House.

In a game where it is not always easy to find a decent personal reason to nominate another housemate, the small things often assume greater significance and that could have been a factor with this week's nominations.
