Unfortunately everything seems to end up back with Adele and Jade and I agree with you Miriam, when Sophie has gone they will definitely turn against Kate for the very reason that Jade is already jealous of her. The little comments she has come out with like "Kate is dodgy!" and "I don't think Kate is pretty, I'm prettier then her!!" etc is very telling of how she really feels behind the cuddles and words of friendship she offers her all the time. Kate is not stupid and has now nominated Jade for the second week in a row because she doesn't trust her. Adele acts as if she thinks Kate is 'ok', but underneath I think she too is a bit envious of her and will eventually find something to nominate her for, 'competition' possibly. I also think that because Kate understandably... because they are in close association being on the Poor side... has become more friendly with their arch enemy..Sophie..this will grate on Adele and Jade so much as it has begun to do already and they will take it out on her even more once Sophie has gone.
What a carry on!!!
As far as Tim is concerned, I think he likes Kate and ever since he offered his sympathy when she broke her sunnies and burst into tears...by comforting her with a hug... I think he has now been well and truly accepted into the group and therefore Kate feels comfortable hugging him like she did with Spanky, but as she also does with Jonny. I think she likes him quite a bit too of course.
