A lot of people (several of the men) where having a go at Daley about it, let's not forget that. Hazel misjudged Daley and ignored the obvious relationship, because it didn't suit her agenda. Guess what? The public went off her in a flash. Do you think that she used her brains and judgement when she became involved with Daley?

Oh don't get me wrong, it's obviously 'shady' on both of their parts and certainly not the moral thing to do, I don't doubt that at all.

However, I think it's getting blown way out of proportion with relation to Hazel, whereas Daley has had a pretty easy ride. It seems like she's taking the brunt of the hostility, and I'm not sure why. At the very least, I think we can agree that the signals coming from Daley regarding his relationship status were mixed, and he was the one who initiated the escalation with Hazel by writing on her hand that he liked her. I get that people are sensitive about it and the public don't like it, but then why vote them into the safe house? The public had every opportunity to put anybody else in there, but they didn't. They flirted a lot, sure. Is that really the worst thing in the world though? Hazel got pressed and pressed by Emma on it in her interview, yet with Daley Emma was sympathetic and essentially let him say his peace and move on. Meanwhile, this is a guy who puts his hands around a womans neck and makes aggressive threats leading to him being removed from the house. The blame that's being given out just feels so disproportionate to me...
