Edele explained to Dee that she didn't want to be nominated because people thought she should be at home with her children which is fair enough. If I had been Edele I would have been surprised that Audley picked her when she wasn't in any way bitchy towards him.

Though to be fair, he nommed her for being stand offish like you said, which she got a bit wound up about, but she then went to the diary room and confirmed that she had intentionally been holding back from people because she was upset about her separation. Audley's was a fair nomination.

I also totally understand why she got wound up at Dee for nomming her to be with her kids too... Who the f is Dee to decide what is best for Edele and her children?!

She didn't ask Audley why he nominated her over Gary she said she THOUGHT he might have picked Gary because of the chicken incident. Once Audley explained Gary reminded him of his Dad she agreed and said her Nan was the same and things were sorted. Edele is one of the few people in there who isn't bigheaded and DOESNT think she is above nomination. She just wants to be nominated for the right reasons

Edele didn't just "agree her nan was the same and things were sorted", she kept on about how rude Gary is to everybody. She was challenging why Audley felt it ok not to nominate Gary. That's how I saw it anyway.

I don't think Edele is bigheaded all of the time, and I do like her, but just thought her talk with Audley came across a little arrogant because she admitted in the DR that she is doing the thing that Audley nommed her for - being stand offish. I think she was nominated for the right reasons by Audley anyway. (Dee and Lauren's noms were weird and did seem to be just because she's nice/"weak". Kellie admitted hers was tactical so fair enough).
