I’m not suggesting I’m a fan of Tom or anything, as he can be short-tempered and bitter, but part of me can’t help but feel there is something we are missing.

We have seen so little of him in the editing of the series, that I don’t believe we truly know him in the way we do other housemates. A lot of what we have been shown of him has been chosen to exaggerate the divide narrative, which all evicted housemates have said was just not there in the way it’s been portrayed.

There’s got to be a much more positive side to Tom which we haven’t been shown, given his friendships with so many decent housemates on the other side of the so-called divide, e.g, Matty, Henry, and given that he has received so few nominations throughout the series. His empathy with Matty last night said something very positive about his character, as did his conversation with Henry in the hot tub.

After the eviction of Paul and Dylan, Tom would have been such an easy nomination if he was truly the character BB has led us to believe, yet it just didn’t happen.

Part of me feels he has been made a scapegoat to fulfil the villain narrative, and I don’t fully believe the hype.
