Yes, exactly, Cherie. Almost every post presents the negative about Tom, and I really do believe that’s because he’s had the villain narrative pushed by producers.
In truth, no person in BB (or in life, in fact) is a complete villain - all people are much more complex and multifaceted than that.
It’s become almost like confirmation bias in some ways. And it’s like seeing just a couple of pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, rather than the full picture.
As I said, I am not a massive Tom fan, but I can recognise positive characteristics in him, and to me, it’s only fair to recognise those when judging him.
At the end of the day, he is only 21, so he’s still developing and adjusting as a person, and will learn from experience. When people can forgive and excuse things Trish said when she was 23, because she’s different at 34, I find it hard to grasp why people can’t give Tom just a little grace.
