I hope Science stays - Derek will be so unbearably smug if he goes, and I can't wait to see the looks on Craig and Derek's faces if Orlaith goes. Derek has fallen into the trap of thinking that because he has money, he is superior to the others, and he's wrong. For example, when he and Science were arguing in the bedroom and Derek was saying that everyone in the house felt the same way about Science (can't remember the exact words he used) and Makosi said that she didn't want to be included in that. Derek hated the fact that she wouldn't go along with what he wanted her to do - he couldn't believe that she even had the nerve not to back him up.

I do think Science would do himself some favours if he stopped shouting so much, but on last night's highlights show (20/7/05) you could see that he was at least attempting to make amends, but nobody was prepared to listen. At the end of the day(!) I think Science is a nicer person than Derek by far, he does have genuine compassion for others, unlike Derek who uses other people's anguish to further his own cause.
