Didn't Bonnie have a little catch phrase? I can't remember what it was now.

Ah think I've just remembered, "check it don't wreck it".  Think I better leave this thread as I seem to be talking to myself!

I think it had more to do with what he'd been told by Nikki and the others during his stay in the HND.
Richard's comments to Aisleyne had as much to do with her perceived unpopularity as it did to the popularity of the others. Remember that when the voting for HMs to re-enter the house took place, Aisleyne's popularity on the forums had still to be picked-up by the media. This led to the discraceful scenes on BBBM where the prospective returning HMs tried to outdo themselves in their claims of what they intended to do to Ais if they re-entered the house, because they thought it would make them popular.

Richard picked up all this stuff when he was in the HND, and he became convinced that Nikki and Pete were the golden couple, hence he sucked-up to them.
Aisleyne had a pretty bad time during the last few days (largely not shown on HLs) with Nikki and Richard convincing her she was unpopular and would be badly booed when she left. This was part of the reason why she had a panic attack when evicted...

 Even 'Perfect' Pete got in on the act. When they had to do the speech task, saying why so-and-so should win, he didn't like Ais's speech for him, got all shirty and tried to claim if he lost, it would be her fault.

I utterly loathed Grace and her plank in tow Mikey.

I only remember Bonneh for her bean flicking reference!

I will never forget how much I disliked Grace
