It even took a while for Matty to really start talking to them. Noky also got on with Trish but it was a bit of a big sister relationship (Trish is a fair few years older after all) so they weren't super close. She obviously always trusted Trish the most though. I also think it's not really in her nature to be factional and get really invested in the 'divide' - I mean of all the housemates in there I think she's the one who has bitched about other people the least. Some people are apparently suspicious of that.

So yeah I think it's a combination of circumstance, maybe spending time with the wrong people early on, and just her personality that's meant she's sadly been pretty isolated in there

This is the closest description to how I view Noky. Her person or personality aren't really my thing, but I admire how she hasn't "picked a side". I find the divided house story line to be quite boring. The fact she is being ostracized for not drawing a line is her one endearing quality for me.
Conversely, Trish slapping down Jenkins attempt at an olive branch shows a significant flaw in her character. It continued the cycle of divide. If her answer was different, these housemates would have had a chance at reconciliation and she might not have been nominated this week.
