I've been thinking the same thing. Why did Nicola suddenly become such a darling, whereas Vinnie turned into a grumpy old man, at least in the eyes of the viewer? To some extent you could blame it on group dynamics. Vinnie took the role of a captain and got challenged for it, even if it was clear that he was first up in the mornings cleaning up after people. Now the group is more like a group of best friends.
