..I can’t really see that he’s changed at all...like all of them, he’s just settled into the house and settled in with his housemates...In the early days, people are settling in with strangers essentially...but then as it goes on...those strangers become what their present world is...they become their familiars, their friends, their family etc...they become their inside world...
...anyway obviously they all relax more as they start to ‘fit’...Akeem doesn’t need to try to fit because he already fits..for some his fit has been the competitive one, the one to beat..for others, his fit has been like a older brother or fatherly role..?...and nothing about him has changed, he’s just more settled and relaxed...I mean people don’t generally gossip with strangers anyway, gossiping is something more done with friends or familiars...and gossiping in that environment especially, would be very obvious and normal to happen...
...so far as what he did in Cameron’s bed...?...people were laughing and encouraging really so it just all felt like fun in a moment...no offence meant but offence taken etc...so an apology given and an apology accepted...no big deal really...he did something that turned into a giggly moment for him and others but not so giggly for Cameron for obvious reasons...and addressed it when he realised Cameron was not amused at all...
