Its one of those alternate phonetically ambiguous ones that confuses a lot of people.
Louis (Blondie) is pronounced 'Louie', but sometimes can be said as it looks (Lou-iss, or Lewis).
Lewis is the other one (did the tennis thing with Graciemae), usually always pronounced Lewis.

Yeah, Nah.
Holy fuck, that is woeful.
The "Total TV" number for Monday last week came in at 620,000, I probably should mention. Compared to 328,000 for Love Island, although it was BB's launch.
rj90
Yeah, Nah.
Let's see how the rest of the total TV numbers are for last week.
Surely under 500k.

Yeah.
If Luke had a brain he should have used her selfishness to justify the nomination, and downplayed the hurt pride thing.
Yeah, you'd have to think so.

Reverse the situation. Let's say that one of the girls put herself out there, told one of the guys that she was interested and wanted to go on a date. How do you think the public would have reacted if the guy had rejected her?
February
I think, therefore I am, I think ...
I was trying to think of how to put it, and you're right, it is all very high school.
It's hard to watch at mid-day. This need a wine in hand to dull the brain!

If he had declined her offer as politely and without bitchiness as Annelise did, it would be an equal amount of non-issue.
Saying no to something is ok, even on a tv show like this.
No means no. It does not mean anyone of any gender has any right to get butt hurt because someone does not want to pursue getting to know you better in that way.
This is the major problem with the pre-recorded format. The engagement is only when it is on air. Even in the flawed Nine days. You could still see live feeds and updates to keep you engaged and looking forward to seeing it on the show.
It's not humiliating though. Rejection is just part of life. He was short-sighted, immature and just reacting badly. You're in the Big Brother House, if you genuinely have an interest in someone and a connection. You would still value that for your time in the house. Even if not romantic. So he can't have been all that genuine with his interest in her. She's very attractive and she seems like a genuinely nice person. If he can't get anything romantic from her, she has no use to him. Which means he isn't genuine or sincere in his interest. Which makes his reaction to her rejection all the worse.

I think a side of it could partly be too thinking back on it (at least in the way its been edited) Graciemae brings up Annelise's name straightway for some other reasons as the first on the noms radar when they're deciding with BB.
And Luke dosen't put up a fight against it to veto it, which he regrets later when he realises how it makes him look having just been turned down and friendzoned as if its an immediate and total reaction to it having literally just happened.
Even Graciemae has a moment straight after when she doubts they've put up the best combination of people if only that Annalise would be another girl going, so lets try and flip it on one of the boys.
For all Annalise knows Luke could have been shittalking her for the rejection as part of his and Graciemaes reasons in the diary room and wouldnt say it to her face, and I'm not sure it couldve even been played off as putting her up as a safe vote, I don't know how aware she is of what her standing/popularity in the house might be at this point. It's kinda a fuzzy one that skews perceptions based on how it's gone down and what it looks like.

There's also the fact that with this version of the show. We never really know what has gone down.
One thing is clear, for the woman to survive in this version. They have to bag themselves a man. Which is pretty gross.

What do you mean? They have always voted each other out since it moved to 7One good thing about BBAU 2023: Finally! the HMs are voting to get others out!
One bad thing about BBAU 2023: Dion! He's loud and very obnoxious... he's trying to be funny loud, but he's stupid loud! Get Him Out!
I agree that this is likely the case. I don't think Annelise rejecting Luke actually played a part in him agreeing with Graciemae to nominate her. I think he didn't even realise that she would think about how it would look until it was pointed out to him later on.
I feel Annelise was just annoying the other housemates in general all the way back to the first episode when she was constantly whinging on the train. Then she saved herself and forced everyone to give up their clothes which probably pissed people off as well. There is a reason she was evicted with such a large number of votes, she was just disliked in general by the majority of the housemates.
