Pete has had to live with his condition for years and he has already said about how difficult it has been for him and the treatment he has recieved from others over it. He clearly has had to find ways to cope with people who give him a hard time, whether it's by ignoring them, laughing at himself, being the silly guy who doesn't care etc, etc.

I just don't think Nikki is able or prepared to deal with that. Once all the media attention has died down, due to idiots out there in the real world, Pete will once again have to face different treatment and prejudice because of his condition. It's not right and maybe coming on BB may have opened people's eyes to how tourettes works, but it's still an unfortunate matter of fact that people will still treat Pete differently and idiots will still have a go and have a laugh at him.

Pete has had a pretty hard life cos of his disability and I just don't see the strength of character in Nikki to stick about when the going gets tough in the real world. She's fine in the small protected microcosm of the BB house, but out in the real world, I can't see the two of them lasting.

There's plenty of other reasons why I don't see them lasting, this is just one of them.

Of all the females in the house Nikki will be the least bothered by Petes tourettes. If it doesn't work out between them tourettes will be the least reason for that.......I think she will be more accepting than Pete and his heavenly religious beliefs ....The religious type can be unforgiving when it comes to people who have different standards than themselves....I think Pete will be the problem not Nikki
