My honest opinion is that I think Freddie thought he could go into the house and use his ‘superior’ intelligence to outwit fellow HM’s and put in a running commentary of his ‘observations’ of them and their actions to influence the public. He wants to go into politics - what better way to show he was astute, on - the - ball intellectually and a good candidate for a political career?
He under - estimated the down to earth and street wise smarts of the HM’s who hadn’t experienced the benefits of his superior education and privileged lifestyle.
What we are seeing is Freddie’s value system and belief in it being peeled away, layer by layer. It started a long time before Bea came in. His condescension and arrogance were all too apparent, and it got the backs up of most of the HM’s who were nominating him week after week. He managed to take on board how he was irritating people and cranked it back a notch, but he couldn’t let go of his ‘game plan’ and feelings of being cleverer than the rest of them. But by this stage he was getting paranoid, and paranoia has been a large part of his downfall in the house. He managed to co - exist with everyone though, because in his mind the people who didn’t ‘get him’ were inferior to him.
Then, when Bea arrived, and he thought he had found an ‘ally’ in her, his cockiness once again rose to the surface. The night he mocked and taunted Lisa and tried to degrade David was a glimpse of a Freddie that people didn’t recognize - and many didn’t like it. Then when someone of his own class and on an intellectual par with him (Bea) showed her disdain of him, this was the final blow. He could accept disdain and maybe even what he seen as envy from people he regarded as below him in social status, but not from someone who he considered as his equal. That was too much for him to take.
The bottom line is I don’t think Freddie was ever a confident, positive or happy person. I think he felt that he was a fish out of water because his upbringing gave him a certain protection and he wanted to ‘mix’ with the ‘common people’ to give him an insight into their lives to further his ‘political aspirations’. (Which were doomed from the start).
Well, he’s mixed with them now, and I think he will come out of the BB house liking the common people more than when he went in. It will be good for him.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. Although I think the show will give a nice boost to his political career.

What political career? Don't get me wrong - I do feel for Freddie - he isn't a bad person - but he has been arrogant!
He simply doesn't have what it takes to be a successful politician - it is one of the bitchiest and most back-stabbing of professions - he would never survive!!
Excellent communication skills are essential for politicians - as is the ability to remain calm and think quickly!
He needs to re-think his future plans!
