BIG BROTHER: The Dale Jennifer Stuart Love Triangle

There seems to be a possible love triangle emerging in the Big Brother house, in the form of Jen, Dale and new hunky housemate, Stuart.

Jen’s face when Stuart walked in on Friday evening, said it all – her eyebrows were nearly touching her hair line! The look on Dales’ face though – he couldn’t have looked more disappointed.

Jennifer started Saturday morning by making sure that everyone knew that she and Dale were not girlfriend and boyfriend. Before Stuart came into the house whenever you saw Jen, Dale was not far away and vice versa but now it seems a different story. At one point on Saturday it was Stuart and Jen lying on the bed together and Dale and Sylvia were watching on with green eyes!

Dale has been very clear that he likes Jen a lot, as he told Luke “She knows how I feel but it seems to be two steps forward and then two steps back.” By two steps back is he referring to Stuart?
It seems that it is Jen who has the decisions to make – she does have a lot in common with Stuart, Saturday saw her looking at his many pictures of his daughter! She knows that Stuart won’t mess her about, which is why she has been cautious with Dale.

Poor Dale who is going to look after him? Maybe Kat will have to step in and feed him cookies? But then Sylvia will probably not let Jen anywhere near Stuart so maybe there is hope for Dale yet...
