Relations betwixt two of Big Brother's biggest personalities have taken another step backwards, with a row over cider the up-to-the-minute incident to upset Rex and Mohamed.
In an eery parallel to superpower Russia's military actions in Georgia, super-housemate Rex ? who has twice survived eviction and now has the speed hand thanks to the presence of his girlfriend Nicole in the house ? went on the offensive.
"Where's my f***ing cider?" he asked diplomatically, on discovering that two of his cans had gone missing.
It eventually emerged, thanks to the audacious efforts of head of house Michael, that Lisa and Mohamed has snuffled down the drink after mistakenly thinking they were Darnell's. He had given permission.
Rex, non accepting this explanation, launched an immediate attack on Mohamed's character. He called him "greedy Mo" and said Mohamed should suffer realised the error of his shipway before it was excessively late.
With Rex having avoided being put up for eviction this week he holds all the bargaining chips over Mohamed, with whom he has exhausted most of his time in the house on positive terms.
But he is attracting unfavorable judgment from other housemates. Lisa told Michael at the dinner board she believes Rex should have already been voted out because of his nasty type. Michael agreed, describing Rex as a "miserable b*****d".
