Akeem is actually playing a similar game to Tomasz.
 
This "Akeem is dim and harmless" narrative is wearing a bit thin. If people like him that's their business but let's not pretend he's all sweetness and light.

I find him manipulative and disingenuous, and because of the way he goes about it, his actions fly under the radar. It took me a while to twig what he was doing but he loves telling people what they want to hear, even if it's the opposite of what he actually means. That's fine in the real world when you're dealing with people on a short term basis, but when you're going from person to person in the Big Brother house saying contradictory things, it means you're not being yourself. He's also fond of making little jibes at people's expense and knows how to push their buttons, but because he does this without raising his voice most of the time, he again gets away with it. The control freak that emerges during Big Coin tasks is the real Akeem - him and Tomasz are actually playing a similar game, and it's unfair that only one of them has been clocked for doing it.

Spot on all through.
I see him as not to be trusted at all.

Really strong and factual post, well said.

Completely disagree, he is competitive yes but not a control freak, can you give examples of what contradictory things he says?

Says "I completely agree with you." to one person who has been arguing, and then says the same to the other person.

He sees himself as leader of the house and will put himself in that position at the slightest opportunity. He has an air of casual arrogance about him and loves to take control.

Whats wrong with playing the game there can be only 1 winner and whoever does win gets 100,000

DrunkerThanMoses 19-10-2018 12:17 PM

Have to disagree.. Akeem is the picture of a positive good well rounded person compared to Lewis and Cameron who are negative nasty bitches

Spot on.
I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.
