I think your speculation at the end may be spot on. Even as a viewer I sometimes feel frustrated w him because I feel like I’m not getting to see how he really feels about things. (Obviously I’m still a fan though)

I wish they would include chats like this in the main show. Feel like we could really do with a longer main show so that these sorts of convos can be included

No problem.

I think I said before that I wondered if the "fake" perception from Ali was coming from a place of accuracy. She could see that he was controlling himself and managing his emotions, and she thought it was because of the cameras, rather than due to his history and behavioural self management. So sensing Khaled is self managing was correct, but the reason behind it wasn't.

I wish I could remember who he was speaking to. I have a feeling it was Emma and... I can't remember the second HM. I am pretty certain it was Emma, though, and, for that reason, I am peeved that she nominated him for being fake when he opened up to her.
