[In the Drunk Tank]

Their conversation in the snug was no different to what Sam and Nancy did with them both questioning Sam and Richard. There is zero chance they will raise this to their faces and it's also arguably strategic in Richard's case as they now know he's popular. They've clearly had similar conversations about Tate too hence the nominations for him were very similar from Fey, Zelah and Teja.

Very snakey behaviour imo
