I see the same sort of thing this year used against Freddie. He is patronising and talks down to people. He is whining all the time. People only support him because they hate other HM's more and are therefore saving him to get rid of others. He is, I think, facing a very difficult battle in there with over half the house totally ignoring him, and discussing how they are going to ignore him. And most of the others probably thinking "well if they're picking on him they're leaving me alone".

I would feel for any HM forced to go through half of what he's had to go through. Freddie is a genuine eccentric and what on earth is wrong with that? Do we all have to be like slices from a cut loaf nowadays? Let's celebrate Freddie's uniqueness, the house would be horribly boring without him in it.

I was a Rachel supporter too but I don't think it's fair to describe people's reasons for not supporting her as lies. It's just different perceptions. I believe that some people did genuinely think she was sitting on the fence etc.
