Although Adam's past life is terrible, I think the HMs can look past it. He was very open about what he did from day 1 and his actions in the house have shown that he's a different person. If he had been as loud or as aggressive as Chris, the HMs would have found him very threatening and nominated him from the start. To illustrate how they perceive him, he was a fave of a few people.

Adam's current job also helps his case; he's gone from a criminal to a social worker, of sorts. Let's say his job was a bailiff or a bouncer (legitimate jobs), that could count against him because people would say he uses intimidation to earn a living.

He's also a good listener, down to earth, and seems very open to accept people.


Benedict does not have a criminal past, but his porn star job and constant wanks will cause problems for him. He needs to remember he's not on the set of a solo performance.
