I can understand his thirst for intelligent people and conversations (and the lack of it in the house).
The only thing that bothers me about him is when we he started getting over-friendly with Marco, what was it all about? Too artificial thing to do after stating his opinions on people of his kind.

One of my main issues with him, is the way he seems to have such a superior view of himself because of this. Being intelligent might make him stand out from most housemates, and it might be an admirable thing in itself, a good thing to see in a housemate etc, but being intelligent doesn't mean you have to also be condescending towards people who aren't/less intelligent than themselves. And that's a really bad and unnecessary trait to have, imo.

I couldn't agree more. And this is really rubbing me off the wrong way. He's condescending.

I don't really see him as condescending. In contrast to most of the others he comes across to me as rational, reasonable and discerning. Having a journalists mind it is par for the course that he's going to comment on things in a more critical way than most. He's not rude, he's not loud, he's not attention seeking, he has a sense of humour and he doesn't run around shirtless or bare assed. And he can string whole sentences together. I'm liking him a lot.

Hi Kazanne! Same here. I like a few of them, but no firm favourite yet.

He is probably my Favourite at present anyway.
--I like him and think he is inoffensive.

So pleased you like him too Joey. For me is is definitely one of the more interesting HM's with a depth and complexity that hopefully will be revealed more in the coming weeks...a journalist always sees things that most others miss - they kind of have to - and they (by nature of their profession) have critical and analytical mindsets. So it will be interesting to see what he makes of the Others he hasn't met yet and how he reacts to them....

Some people are just piss take victims for England , you have to take the piss out of em....it's not condescending, it's just British they invite it on themselves and if they have a brain and the ability to laugh at themselves then they can give as good as they get and laugh too...like Andy and Jason do with each other.
That is a big diff between main house and others....main house has less humour and def less fun because of it.

I wouldn't trust any of them that's kind of the point for me and why I watch it...he seems to have a loyalty to his former house mates on the other side so their is def some trust there ....but if I was one of the people he thinks are stupid I wouldn't trust him either...or blame him

Liking Andy at the moment, he comes across as having a dry sense of humour which i think some in the house dont get.

Sorry to disappoint you Nik, but if you were in the final weeks with them, or any other of the housemates, you wouldn't be able to trust them as far as you could throw them.... they're all there to win
