The witch is dead, long live Big Brother! Alexandra De-Gale has been booted out of the Big Brother house ahead of her inevitable eviction on Friday after she is said to have threatened some of the house mates.

This is the first Big Brother post I have done since launch night so I have yet to have my say on the woman that will always be remembered for thinking “Memba, I tol’ you” was a suitable way to prove her point, and end an argument. And arguments are what Alex spent most of her short time in the house engaging in.

She was booted out last night at around 8pm after having a conversation earlier in the day with various house mates. She had recently found out that she was up for eviction along with Mario the fake Italian, and clearly took it badly.

She reportedly spoke to fellow house mate Darnell about the forthcoming eviction and her hope that Mario would be going. According to The Sun, she said:

“This is three months, do you know what I mean? Three months in a house. Everyone’s got to come outside the house. I’ve got a very, very, very, very, very strong team outside the house. Strong, so solid, strong.”

“I look forward to whatever the result. If I get out first, I get out, make the plans. Everyone’s got to come out after that. Every single one of you comes out afterwards, remember I told you. Like I say, my team is strong, so strong.�

“I just can’t wait to see my mans and them and see what their plans are, who they got . . . I’m not talking about those mans, I’m talking about my gangster friends.�

“If you go you get to make all the plans that you wanna make. When you’re in here you can’t do certain things. In my life I’m used to doing certain things. You know people piss me off and I do something, like. I can’t actually do that while I’m here.”

“But like I say, I get to go out, see everyone’s friends. I get to see their family. I get to do the shit that I wanna do. Pow, pow, pow.�

It is actually unbelievable to read what Alex supposedly said as they amount to basically threats on people’s lives, or at least physical violence in some form. To mention gangsters in the same sentence as talking about housemates friends and family certainly implies that the people who she didn’t get on with in the house would have to fear for not only their safety but the safety of other people close to them too.

She clearly needed to go after this outburst, which was just the latest in a string of cases of bullying and intimidation in the house. While I accept that Channel 4 made the right decision, it does mean that not only do we not get to vote her out ourselves, and see her get booed on Friday, we have also lost the most interesting and ultimately watchable HM of Big Brother 9.
