yeah that was horrible. I don't know if Pauline would've been like this without being the power hm early, I think so, but it sped up the process, I cant believe no one has told her to mind her own business when it comes to the food I don't know

Yeah I understand all that but Pauline doesn't have the whole house behind her, there are HMs in there who are neutral so why not go up against her, I thought he was a bigger character and had more balls tbh.

None of the neutrals seem willing to stand up to her, it isn't just Christopher. The only two who went against her in any way where Jale and Christopher himself and look where that got them - "it's your fault, you made me mad at you, this is what is wrong with you" tactics.
The rest see that and are keeping their heads down. Maybe if they formed an alliance they might feel strong enough to put her in her place but unfortunately they seem to have lost the will to live never mind fight back in that poisonous atmosphere.
