His reaction to being nominated again

[Cherie]

How anyone can say Akeem is fake is beyond me, nominating and being nominated is part of the process, he has been up for eviction just as many times as Lewis at the hands of his hms but he takes it on the chin, glad Cameron did the right thing :clap1:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Classy guy.... Lewis is pathetic. God forbid he is nominated again he might walk.... Oh that sounds good actually :fc:

[Withano]

Nobody thinks hes isnt genuine because he nominates, gets nominated, and reacts to his nomination quietly. Think you missed the point there!

[chuff me dizzy]

I find him not quite real, he's a tad robotic

[Cherie]

People say he is playing a game, that he is wearing a mask, that he really isnt that nice, in a highy charged atmosphere like last night the true cream rises to the top and Akeem is one of lifes gentlemen

[Patricia4]

He cant stand being up he's a nervous wreck he cant take it.

[Cherie]

He cant stand being up he's a nervous wreck he cant take it.

I think he thought Cameron would pick him, he was entitled to have a bit of adrenaline running through his body, he didn’t abuse his fellow hms who had no choice in the matter over it

[Epic.]

He's probably the only mature one left in there :clap2:

[RileyH]

A gem :love:

Thats one theory, and others think the opposite is true.

I dont think many are claimig hes insincere because he nominates and get nominated though - thats the part i was referencing. Seemed like an odd thing to say.

That wasnt my point at all

[Withano]

Probably wanted a new paragraph after How anyone can say Akeem is fake is beyond me cos it makes it seem like your point

[Cherie]

I dont need to do anything, some people will get it and some wont

[Twosugars]

Akeem is a lovely guy :love:
takes noms like a man (unlike a certain psycho)

[rusticgal]

Its his desperation that puts me off...Hes a nice guy but he holds a lot back imo. You would think this show meant life or death to him..

[chuff me dizzy]

I agree, thats why I call him robotic

[DouglasS]

He has class, something that cannot be said for Lewis.

Lewis has a superior complex and doesn't believe anyone should ever nominate him, yet he obviously nominates himself.

It's not unusual to be nominated multiple times it happens year after year to many housemates, I don't think anyone has been such a sore loser in history before.

Akeem truly deserves to win for being the best and nicest person in that house.

Spot on, I knew there was something that wasn't quite as it should be.

Is it that he is just over competitive, or he is desperate for the prize money.

It is like he is a child desperate to be seen to do the correct thing to get a star at the end of it, he is so unwaverably good.

I just wish he would relax and chill out.

This is about Akeem but again becomes another Lewis bashing

[chuff me dizzy]

Tedious isn't it ?

[Cherie]

He is a genuinely nice guy if he wasn’t he wouldnt be able to be so even handed in such a tense situation

[Daniel.]

A thousand times the person Lewis Dean will ever be

[DouglasS]

This is about Akeem but again becomes another Lewis bashing

They are the only two that have been nominated multiple times that are still in the house and so its natural to compare their reactions.. One of them had class, one of them swore, whinged moaned and threw their toys out of the pram.

I would compare Kenaley and Isabelle as well but they are out, but both acted like adults also when nominated for the second time.

[girlfighter24]

I love Akeem by far my winner unlike the others he doesn't let being nominate affect him he just gets on with.

He wants to stay there as long as he can and his reaction yesterday him shaking showed me how much he wants to be there

[Kazanne]

That money is very tempting.

[Pink Panther]

A gem :love:

U sure made a complete U-turn on him. I remember u wanted him out. :joker:

[Niamh.]

I find him not quite real, he's a tad roboticI just think that's the kind of person he is, I don't think he could just act like that for this long, I really like him

[bots]

I just think that's the kind of person he is, I don't think he could just act like that for this long, I really like him

I really like him too, but the stars are just not aligned at this point for him to win. He does stand a chance I guess with the Lewis/Cameron vote split ... but I think thats just an outside chance

[MTVN]

I really admire his attitude to everything. He was gutted after the game changer but still put the dice around Lewis and congratulated him even after Lewis had done his pathetic middle finger gloat

[Chansey]

I dunno how how you could love Akeem. He doesn’t have enough substance to evoke any kind of support.

I find his attempts at being funny cringey and uncomfortable, and he doesn’t add anything to the house dynamic other than irritating people for trying to take charge.

Isabella was distraught...and couldn't work it out hence the rule break. Last night she nearly had a nervous breakdown...

[Kazanne]

I don't think he is fake be he is very desperate

I think he just wants to coast his way to the end, he is a people pleaser and therefore comes across as twofaced. He is playing up to Tomasz and his habits to much for my liking, he has a good chance of winning but I hope he doesnt.

Sadly imo there is nothing superior about him at all, he has taken over the house but walked away when he should have been there. He just does not want to upset the others and the public. He can be as negative as the others but hides it at times. Not a good winner imo but he has a chance, nothing nice about sitting on the fence and not being honest.

[Jules82]

yes the bigger man

Insignificant....

[y.winter]

I'm still not sure who Akeem really is. We need more DR from him...

[Jules82]

Classy guy.... Lewis is pathetic. God forbid he is nominated again he might walk.... Oh that sounds good actually :fc:

Neither Lewis or Akeem will walk now, they will fight it out until the end, to late for anyone to leave....Lewis is great and Akeem is....ah well.......May the best man/woman win.....Lewis for me....

[joeysteele]

I really neither like or dislike him.
I don't want him to win however as I see him as not to be trusted.

I don't think it can be easy to know where you stand with him.
I prefer good or bad to know exactly where I stand with people.
Akeem seems to try to be all things to all people, rarely revealing what he's really thinking.

[Beastie]

I think the only game Akeem is playing is to not get too attatched to anyone. Hence someone saying he's a bit robotic. I believe he must be a genuinely nice person though. You always get shown your true colours in Big B.

[Lostie!]

Brilliant guy. He really needs to win.

Im loving your opinions. Akeem isn't a nasty guy..but he is playing sooo safe...holding back where I don't think he normally would.
He has taken on this role of man of the house...he's first to get involved with everything...first to get up and report on any discrepancies..empty cupboards..task set ups...first in the store cudboard when the shopping is delivered etc..He loves being house leader. There isn't anything wrong with that...but you can understand why it rubs the others up the wrong way.
He is more than capable of losing it...you can see him gritting his teeth sometimes.
But he's not a bad guy at all.

Actually I hadn't considered him keeping distance so as not to get too attached to anyone.

That's an interesting point you have made.
It's made me think.

They should have put oldies in the house too. A lot of young immature and naive houmates this series. Suppose we have that every series :laugh:

I mean he wants to get to know people of course. But I think he is keeping his cards to his chest. At least he speaks his mind more and making more impact than people like Sian.

[Jannigran]

He’s like the annoying teachers pet at school you loved to hate

this.

cringed so hard at his hands shaking like he'd just been told he was terminally ill. :fist::conf:

if i was in there with someone like that it would grate my bones - it's SO condescending - i think it really brought out his true nature when they did the mining task and he was the chairman... made me cringe so much, he was loving it

not a bad guy or nasty but makes my skin crawl

[Slevin]

This is about Akeem but again becomes another Lewis bashing
mainly about Akeem but OP put it out as a comparison of how he & Lewis react to being nominated
