His true fans still like him. Just because he is in the HND saying these things just to fit in and not be seen as the outcast isn't as bad as it seems. You have to remember ...He has not really got a single friend he trusts in the HND not even Lea even though they did make up at the end. He is surrounded by his worst nightmares and all the people he cannot stand but he is making an effort still to talk to them. Even his bond with Imogen has become closer they were hugging each other which is a thing they have connected with since they are both in the dark.


1- Rich hasn't liked Ash that much for a while since she joined the plastics really as this has shown in his nominations when she changed.
2- Rich is surrounded by Grace...lead plastic, Imobore, Mikey and Nikki who were all in the plastics group. He knows they have watched everything, seen everything etc so that will be having an effect. He doesn't really have many options he can either make himself an outcast and that would make him be a target or he can join in by keeping his friends close like Lea, and his enemies even closer like the rest.
3- The way he laughed off the "plastic" comment was handled brilliantly when Nikki decided to kick him down and put him under pressure.

While he is surrounded with a whole ex house who dislikes Ash and is giving him hints as to Ash said this and that, plus he has also heard the ash out chants week after week by the public come on he must be wondering about why she is hated like everyone else not in the know.

It worries me how people seem to have forgotten how Imogen was in the first 5 or 6 weeks...every single day she would bitch behind peoples backs with Grace and her barbie doll gang. Imogen has offered us the least entertainment and debate out of all of the housemates, yet has lasted nearly til the final week. If Richard goes on friday we shall be losing one of the best entertaining housemates this year who has brought us many topics to debate about.

Now in saying all this I am not saying Rich is perfect but what options does he have while in the house next door surrounded by the likes of Grace who can plant seeds in peoples head...we all saw how manipulative Grace was during her time in the house and even at times Grace has us actually question what happened and who said what to who. 99% of the time it was Grace who planted the seeds into peoples heads then sat back and watch things explode.
