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)

I think it might be just purely because Freddie is on a different level to most of them. I don't think Angel or Siavash even like him, they probably have a link with him if they recognise that they are odd characters as well (well, more Angel than Siavash).
I really do think Freddie is alone in the house, more than any other housemate. I think Freddie knows this too, and I'm impressed with his strength of character to stay in the house.
His niceness might be counterproductive, they might know that previous winners have been won by being nice (ant, rachel) and maybe see Freddie as a threat (lets face it, they all want to win) and they see him as a threat. As he's nice but with an odd twist.
Or, they might think that we would called them two-faced if they did go up to him and say well done (and I think we both know the forums would be ablaze with those threads).
I hope its just because they all want it their way, and anything else is jawdropping to them. Dumbfounded dumbness.
I don't think that Freddie will see this in a bad light, he knows he's not that liked in the house (2 weeks running) but he's fighting his way through it, and best of all not changing to be accepted.
or, they were just scared about what he would say and don't have three hours to kill whilst he responds.
Or maybe I think to much, or smoked to much either way much to much,
much to young,
now freddies now evicted when you could be having fun with me
