Thanks for your reply...but I have noticed in previous years that housemates do a fairly good balance of commiserating with the evictee and congratulating the stayer. Freddie is strange, granted, but I would love to know why they were so muted in their response to him staying for the second time. He is not a bad sort of chap .. anyone can see he is basically 'nice', so a courteous 'well done' and a hand shake wouldn't have gone amiss. (It might even have looked good for anyone prepared to show some good manners)
