Yeah good post !
Was thinking similar just thinkin.
Nick impressed me with his honesty too. (or that's how it looked !?)
Said before... all down to Nick positioning himself in a good place.
Well.. either that or you see it as fake showmance / fencesitting.
But yeah, others are now trying to pull back the female wall.
To be fair, how much credit does Nick deserve ?
Anyone can hook up with the opposite sex for cover.
You say "shortcut" - to Harry or to Nick ?
Guess it's actually Nick and can hardly blame them for trying to prise him out.
Guess you're right about Jade too but she's can't move a brick wall and don't right her off yet.
She may lose her patience with the Nick Harry thing (and could you blame her ?)
Anyway take your good point. He came across well.
But not letting 1 good moment sway the whole series towards Nick.
Need more convincing he's the confused boy (or is it stud ?) he appears.
Sure it came across as honest.
But also appears a bit too convenient to just carry on the same.
If Nick does now think Marc going is a sign any gameplan is working...
He may be in for a shock IF Harry is the next one to go !
