Is there something wrong with Rex.. Like a social disfunction.

[boogieboogie]

Think about it. He was kicked out of 9 different schools. He has irritated the housmates with his gloating and his controlling and bullying and nastyness.
With Nicole he just harrasses her with demanding nonesense. He's not had a conversation with her.
What I'm trying to say is. Rex hasn't engaged in conversation with anybody inc his girlfriend. He talks about himself. He makes nasty comments. He is controlling, manipulative and demanding. So what are the odds he has a social disfunction.
I hate him. But he reminds me of someone I use to know who was a showoff like this who had also been kicked out of public school, but more importantly had Aspergers (autism)..

I think it`s because he has a rich Daddy and therefore is probably a spoilt brat, he thinks he rules the house but sooner or later someone will put him in his place

He must think that because he`s been up for the public vote and survived he`s quite popular...how wrong is he

You can bet your life that if he`s up next week and gets voted out he`ll beg his girlfriend to leave with him

[boogieboogie]

You are right he does think he's liked now. With the public and the housmates. He said 'Everyone in here likes me now' Arrr no they don't Lisa hates him. But this is a trait that people with slight autism suffer, they can't read social situations and body language. Not only does he think everyone likes him, he thinks it's ok to say it.. normal socially aware people wouldn't think or say it.. see where I'm coming from.
Karma is going to get him. But I think it's worth considering that he's deficient socially.. Again with the way he bigged Nicole up as 'Stunning' then when she arrive in the house he said 'She's so much fun Nicole, loads more fun than anybody here'.. socially aware people don't say things like that.. He will soo get the biggest BOO on exit.

While there's a thread on the go about that bossy so and so .......what is he doing to his face , he's forever picking at it .

[boogieboogie]

A HA.. I've just done some research and I'm not the only one to speculate on this:
Digitalspy: I realised early on that there was something 'not quite right' about him. At first I thought it was Asperger's Syndrome, but I got shot down on this forum for suggesting it. Apparently you're not allowed to speculate about a person's psychological/neurological state unless you're a fully qualified psychologist/psychiatrist..

There is something not right about him. Narcissistic perhaps as his lack of empathy is also very aparent.
But what do I know.

Boogie, I very much want the arrogant pig voted out next week. He is so full of himself, and yet maybe quite insecure cos when you watch him with Nicole, he has to keep holding her and he notices that she pulls away from him all the time. When he queried with Nicole where she had got money from to buy new clothers, it was apparent that he 'keeps' her and probably enjoys doing so in order to keep a hold on this 'stunning' girl. Lets face it, he hasnt got other appealing qualities other than a big wallet. I cant believe how he talks to Rachel and Mikey, he is so opinionated and obviously he is always right! Why does no-one ever stand up to him. I know someone with Aspbergers and his mannerisms are nothing at all like Rex. Fingers crossed for next week eh.

[M-A-T-R-I-X]

hes a control freak how worries more about how he is perceived by others, than he does about anyone including nicole. He said that she was making him look like an @rsehole........no rex you are the one that has made yourself look like one ya ginger freak

[boogieboogie]

Here's the interesting thing, none of you agree with me contradict me BUT refer to him with words like: spoilt brat, smug, arrogant, bossy, full of himself, oppinionated.
Which are the traits of people with social dysfunctions... so to some extent you are agreeing with me without knowing it..
It may not be aspergers or narcissistic but he does have some personality/social disorder.

[eyeshade]

Yawns............

[crisgal]

i know what you mean boogieboogie, definately some sort of personality disorder. He can't have a normal conversation, it's always him telling them something or bigging himself up. He doesn't seem to do it as much now, especially when Nicole is in the room. Which, I suppose does show some control.
I hope she wakes up and dumps him when they come out. She can do better than him.
I hate him and want him to face those boos, but I know it won't bother him. Even if they montage all his nastiness, he'll just laugh! I don't think he will ever think the way he talks to people is wrong.
The other housemates are driving me mad, not standing up to him. I hope it's not just 'cus he's got money.
