His speech and his subsequent behaviour just smacks of someone whose ego has been deflated and whose pride has been stung. Calling Luisa a snake shows that he is just forcing this nice guy Ollie act - he's obviously not a malicious person and I don't think he's pretending to be nice, but he's definitely pushing it further than the reality. Everyone has opinions. Everyone has ups and downs. Ollie is trying to pretend he's always up and he would do anything to avoid getting anyone offended or upset. Most people don't like to upset others; but sometimes in life you have to say or do things that not everyone will agree with and when you try the Ollie approach, people end up disliking you anyway because they think you're fake. Which I think he is. Nobody is that nice. Nobody. The comments about Luisa show that he can't possibly BE that nice, nobody can. I hope he learns from this that he can't always be a people pleaser, it just ends up hurting you in the long run because people don't believe what you say and don't believe you have any conviction. Lee's nomination for him was precisely because Ollie was trying to play middle man and Linda's nomination for him was because he has no backbone, never wants to give an opinion...
