I haven't cared for Tom throughout this season. However, after watching how he put up with Hannah in the attic my opinion has changed. I would have found her blinkered self- centeredness intolerable. She spoke over him constantly, forcing him to listen to her nasty and repetitive points of view. She was bossy to the point of WAAAGGHHH and has shown herself to be an extremely unkind and conniving woman. Tom tried to get his point across despite her burdensome, domineering clap-trap; and for not losing it completely he deserves a medal. I laughed out loud when he went over the jumps at the Grand National on his tiny horse and was touched when he gave the teddy a go at kicking his football. Also, there was no nastiness and he really seemed to enjoy watching the others do their tasks and made nice comments about them when they had finished. He is a man without rancour, whereas Hannah was hideous throughout. So the short answer to the OP is YES after tonight I like him.
