David, damned if he did and damned if he didnt!
 

I am commenting on Dave's decision to choose Rachael when he won the hickory dickory dock task.

He took a while to make his decision, not wanting to make the wrong choice and lets face it who ever he chose there would have been condemnation for it.

I know he is an annoying god botherer but I really do feel sorry for him having to make that decision and to be fair i am sure he genuinely feels that Rachael will survive because of her popularity in the house.
:hugesmile:

Na I'm sure he knows lots of people dislike her, that's why he voted for her. And I don't blame him, I'd hate having to live with Rachael for God knows how many weeks left.

I did feel sorry for him but that's part of the game and at least he stayed true to who he had nominated - though shame he didn't put Govan up.

I didn't feel sorry for him but I don't think he did anything wrong by putting rachael up the problem is he just lied and said he put her up because he thought she was popular he and a lot of other housemates heard her booed by the crowd which is a clear indication that she is not favourite and I think the reason she cried is not because he put her ul but because she felt she was definitely going to be evicted and felt ut wasn't really fair as she hadn't been nominated and she did hug him and tell him " sorry for crying ....."

As long as he's damned thats all.

His reason for picking who he thought would not get evicted was a load of rubbish.He knew Rachel got booed and would be a better HM to go against Sunshine who he likes and feels might go.Very clever...he would have picked Steve otherwise!!...anyway Rachel good choice...get the shallow person out!!

Did anyone else hear Shabby? Before he picks Rachael she goes " you got to do what you've got to do Dave." Then after he picks her she goes "nooo! Why did you do that for!"

WTF sort of contradicts herself don't it :laugh:

I dont credit Dave with enough guile to purposefully choose someone tactically other than genuinely feeling that as Rachael is popular in the house in his words (paraphrasing here) "I'm gonna chose someone who is too popular to get evicted".

I dont particularly like him, I dont have much time for god botherers especially those that have to shout about it but I just dont think he deserved the backlash for making an impossible choice.

I dont think that Rachael was very magnanamous and is definately holding a grudge.
