How the housemates reacted to Alex’s departure

So, Big Brother's biggest ever bully has been sent packing, but what do the housemates think to it all? Yesterday evening, the initial shock – and in some cases euphoria (hello Rex) – in the house settled down, and the BB housemates began to reveal what they really thought of the Croydon loudmouth. Rex, who, let's face it, was never a big fan, has been struggling to hide his delight, remarking last night that he "can't wait to wake up in the morning to a positive household." He was so happy, in fact, that he launched into an impromptu rendition of S Club 7's Never Had A Dream Come True – random, but amazing! Sylvia has continued to shake her head a lot and say "I don't believe it" over and over, while Mikey just got straight to the point, telling the group: "She is a bully. A classic bully and she'll probably never change." Interestingly, the only housemate who didn't seem to have a problem with the mouthy 23-year-old is Lisa, who told the group she had never been offended by Alex. Well, we suppose Lisa is a lot bigger than Alex... Chatting about Alex's departure late last night, boring lovebirds Jen and Dale were clearly still in shock, with Jen admitting, "I just can't believe Alex has gone, maybe tomorrow it'll sink in, it seems weird." The housemates were all astonished to learn that Alex had been warned by Big Brother to change her behaviour THREE times before being removed. Mario pointed out that he'd missed a lot of the arguments because he was already in bed, but acknowledged that there was "enough evidence" to get her booted out. We bet Mario's super-pleased. No eviction worries for him this week. The housemates are currently waking up to a new day in the house minus Alex, so we'll be keeping an eye on them and letting you know how they adjust. What do you lot think about Alex's departure? And how do think it's going to affect the rest of the house?
