But I don't also think that Ali is as crazy as some people are in the public believe her to be when it comes to Khaled, because I do believe that he exaggerates his niceness, and I do think that he has one of the bigger egos in the house, that he tries to conceal.

I ultimately do believe Khaled to be a decent guy, but just not the saint that he wants everyone to see him as, which I think is twigging with Ali who already has a bias against men anyway.

There was an interesting conversation between Khalid and I think it was Emma on live feed which I wish they'd aired on the highlights, as it may have given context on his behaviour in the house - at least it helped me.

Khaled was explaining that, when he was younger, he had trouble handling his emotions - he'd react first and think later to every situation. He said he worked on himself, hence the boxing and working out, to try and be measured, and not get overly emotional about anything for that reason.

I think that might be why Ali has an issue. He's not being fake in the sense that who we're seeing is who he has worked on to be, but perhaps she is sensing the "react first" part of his nature but, because they've never sat down and had that discussion, she can't place it. So instead she believes he's playing up to the cameras.

That might be why Khaled said to Ali he feels she can't read him, and believes that's why he bothers her to such an extent.
