I agree that Derek will decide and manipulate the identity of the new group scapegoat
I think it is most likely to be either Kamal or Eugene as the identity will be the 'anti-derek' , that is the housemate who best personifies Derek's own qualitites that he himself can't own and therefore has to project onto others and hate.
I think it'll be Kamal, (camp, over dramatic, vulnerable, 'ethnic') although Eugene (clever yet annoying) could easily be victimised and pushed into the hated role by Derek's withering stare, which could escalate into being sent to coventry.
Bang on about Derek, but I disagree as to the target. Eugene and Kemal are on his list but I think Derek intimated last sunday that Makosi would be next to face his 'wrath'. He will assume that Orla is up anyway.
Derek's favoured tactic is to sit in the living area on a sunday night and bring in four other HMs into a bitching session about one - and only one, to avoid getting into trouble for discussing noms - HM. Ant and Craig will be there with him. Kemal knows the score now and will be there. Eugene is clueless but will be where the others are. Orla and Makosi are usually in the bedroom at night - and are targets. You can't bitch about someone behind their back if they're in the same room as you, after all.
I count five sure-fire votes for Orla and four (assuming Eugene can be manipulated) for Makosi right there. Ant should vote for Derek - which would be a cunning play. Eugene is critical here, and Derek will be putting a lot of work in this week to keep him sweet.
Orla - 5 votes (Derek, Ant, Kemal, Craig, Eugene)
Makosi - 4 votes (Derek, Kemal, Craig, Eugene)
Derek - 3 votes (Orla, Makosi, Ant)
Kemal - 1 vote (Makosi)
Not sure about Orla's final vote.
Makosi to go?
he came across very well, I'm sad he's gone, the last of the big personalities to leave - the house is going to be well boring from now on
