I find him manipulative and disingenuous, and because of the way he goes about it, his actions fly under the radar. It took me a while to twig what he was doing but he loves telling people what they want to hear, even if it's the opposite of what he actually means. That's fine in the real world when you're dealing with people on a short term basis, but when you're going from person to person in the Big Brother house saying contradictory things, it means you're not being yourself. He's also fond of making little jibes at people's expense and knows how to push their buttons, but because he does this without raising his voice most of the time, he again gets away with it. The control freak that emerges during Big Coin tasks is the real Akeem - him and Tomasz are actually playing a similar game, and it's unfair that only one of them has been clocked for doing it.

Spot on.
I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.
