Exactly. Like you say, it's hard to know what people's motivations are for their behaviour, because we're all multi-layered, so we often don't even know ourselves.
On a lighter note, I found watching Dappy sitting slumped in a beaten heap saying "Thanks Jim" like he'd been through hell was priceless, because they'd been having a ball in a bar with steak and kidney pie, calamari and booze. It was all a big pretence, and they'd all have had a huge laugh about it all afterwards, if Linda hadn't kicked off and ruined the whole thing.
