If you’re one of those people who get upset when people have a pop at Adorable Adele, read no further. Do you think she’s getting too much stick from the public? No, me neither.

Adele is the Nasty Nick of BB3; the only difference is she’s far better at it than Mr. Bateman ever was. If there‘s a smiling assassin in the house, it’s Adele all right. At first, I’ll admit that I was taken in and merely thought she was just being led down the dark path by the black cloud that was Sandy. As the show has unfolded though, her villainy in the relentless quest for that 70K has been a joy to watch. They should sign her up for the next Bond move; I can just picture her in the diary room, sinisterly stroking a white cat.

She is the master puppeteer and has been cleverly pulling Alex and Tim’s strings while covering her back by leaving Jade exposed as her scapegoat when the Sophie backbiting reached fever pitch. It has been a master class in manipulation.

All this puts marionette Kate in a dangerous position with Adele poised to start pulling her strings. It will be interesting to see whom the ever-expanding DJ chooses to target next. Her Machiavellian plots have been superb entertainment but they may soon be exposed by PJ of all people.

PJ seems to be playing Craig tactics here, not too noticeable early on and then coming up strongly on the rails towards the end. The only blot on his copybook so far is his treatment of Jade, but he may get away with this, as many will find it very difficult to feel sympathetic towards her after all her double-dealing.

The problem for Adele is that PJ has sussed her, and made Kate and Jonny fully aware of this. Entertaining as Adele’s diplomacy/duplicity has been, if nominated she may well feel the wrath of the public. Having said all that, I'd like to point out here that she's the one I still want to win.

It seems that Jim Carrey look-alike Alex would have to do something truly dreadful to ruin his chances of winning. His alliance with Tim the Toff could prove to be his undoing in that department. Tim’s exile to the poor side last week could prove to be Alex’s savour in that regard.

Terrible Tim has turned into the ginger whinger this week and no mistake about it. Watching him squirm in Peasantville has been a real tonic, while some of his answers to the discussion topics given to the group by Big Brother could possibly lead us to believe that his politics are slightly to the right of Oswald Mosley’s. I’m sure he picked up a few fans from Daily Mail readers there.

Jonny meanwhile seems to be becoming more confused by the moment and still can’t decide whether it’s best to be morose Jonny or party Jonny. He still doesn’t seem to have cottoned to the fact that he should just be himself and let the happiness and sadness come naturally. Perhaps he’s forgotten how.

I still think there will be a three strike eviction, sooner rather than later and that either Jade or Jonny will be in the frame for this, depending on how nominations go.

Finally, someone asked me in the pub at lunchtime if I was missing Sophie. Sophie?

Who’s Sophie?
