His pitiful attempt at explaining to Jason and Natalie - who by all means were quiet and willing to hear him out - why we should stay in the EU pretty much confirmed him as an intellectual lightweight (even though I'm team Remain )

He seems to have no patience in explaining what he finds objectionable or wrong with what the others talk about, and I'm so bored of him whining in the diary room about no one being on his supposed level. His shutdown of Sam's ghost story was rude, his objections to "talking about Jason" are futile and pointlessly self-righteous since...well...everyone talks about people they know. That is a fact of life. That he gets so upset and feels the need to even things out is through no other interest than trying to make himself a wonderful pariah, tbh.

Just find it laughable that some are all flocking towards the 'nice guy' now after deriding Chloe's win and championing Helen's. Especially when this is a guy whose VT literally introduced himself as "that brave soul who tackled mean old Tyson Fury "

But not everyone has to like or accept it. It takes all sorts. What are things coming to when someone not liking people talking behind backs is seen as a terrible characteristic to have..
Jason IS his friend and that's where his loyalty lies.

It's just a moral highground that's always taken with embarrassing consequences. Every time someone says "I don't like talking about other people behind their backs", they are seen doing so within a week. And coupled with his general lack of effort to get to know anyone, and his disregard for their supposed inferior intellect, it smacks of pointless condescension.

I suppose knowing someone for 2 weeks gives you the right to meddle in their personal affairs by repeating idle titty tattle.

I found it interesting last night when Georgina on BOTS was asked who she wanted evicted next, and she said Chelsea. Her reasons were that he was always repeating in Jason's ear what Charlie said about him and then repeating to Charlie what Jason said about her.
Did we see any of this on the HL shows? No. Did any of the HM's target or nominate him for this like they did with Andy? No. Jason is supposed to be Chelsea's friend just like Andy is. Andy was being loyal to his friend yet he's the one treated like he murdered someone. Unbelievable.

Chelsea will get more noms than Andy today.

Because Andy was caught out twice

The housemates are just now cottoning on to Chelsea being jus as bad.

Wrong. This was when Georgina was in the house, not 'just now'.
And if they were just cottoning on to it why haven't they even mentioned Jason and Charlie? All they said was he was going around saying 'i like you' etc.
They haven't gone haywire on him either like they did with Andy (but then Chelsea isn't such an easy target to pick on, is he? The cowards. Lietaysha can spout off to her little cronies to try and get him nominated, but she hasn't the guts to tackle him.

Lateysha has had bust ups with both Andy and Chelsea so i'm not following you at all, I think you just see whatever it is that fits the 'Poor Andy' agenda.

Yes the Chelsea being sly has just been spotted the last weekend - Evelyn and Georgina said just before Georgina's eviction he had been telling all four nominees he would miss them most, before that people didn't have a bad word to say about him but after that a few have also spoken up about him doing it.

All just a ploy to raise her own status

I see no reason why she would lie about that and be so specific about it. That's a big stretch.

Andy listens very well when he is not being yelled at or goaded. When that happens his defences go up and he becomes a bit stiff and introverted. How he remains so calm I just don't know. They yell at him and lose their heads while he remains articulate and composed and they can't stand that. Why doesn't he shout back? Why doesn't he get in my face? What a arrogant ass!

He listened to advice from Jason and last night from Jayne and said to her that he'd take her advice on board. They spoke to him adult to adult, not yelling attention seeking harpie to adult.

Is it better that he doesn't scream at people? Of course. But does that make him exempt from being arrogant and rude? Absolutely not.

You see arrogance, I see introversion and a stiff dignity in being isolated, misunderstood and targeted.
I don't see rude as a characteristic at all. He's better mannered than most of them in there by far.

Believe it or not I like Andy! Just that the way he talks to people he has disagreements with will almost always end badly because of the way both they AND he conducts themselves.

Sorry, I genuinely don't recall that. Could you remind me?

Andy literally gets up in silence and walks to the door. Only when Ryan asks him why he's leaving Andy says " I know when there's no point in continuing a conversation".

Thanks, I remember that, but Sam was blatantly lying because Andy heard him talking behind Hughies back. We all did! So what point was there in continuing? Andy could have called him a liar, he could have repeated what Sam said and embarrassed him, he could have hollered and made a scene, but he didn't, he chose to remove himself from the situation before he was tempted to do any of those things. I'm sure he was already feeling the pressure at having Laytesha screeching and going ballistic at him.
I'm sure he didn't do it to be deliberately rude Sassy. It's all in the context. Compared to most of them, he's a real gent.
