He's got it in for Hughie who he thinks is a big threat, he's clearly thinking about the winning line, hence the discussion with Jackson last night about the rinse down from 12 to 5.

Hughie isn't helping himself and the worst thing Andy is trying to achieve if he doesn't win is to bring Hughie down with him.

I don't understand Hughie, he's a shoe in to win and the bad temper let's him down, initially it was a novelty now it's wearing thin, he's got some sort of childhood issue baggage plaguing him- why does he get louder when repeatedly told to be quiet? He's a psychiatrist's wet dream!

...I've found in my experiences of that to be quite a common thing, Delta in larger families...those small voices that raise in volume in their frustrations to be heard among many other voices..and all talking at once/all needing to be heard and to have their voice ...I think there is probably a big aspect to the travelling community environment that is of 'one large family'..so something that has been very much a part of his environment and an ongoing thing that he struggles with...

..there's nothing worse and more frustrating than needing to be heard and desperately having something to say..and to be told to be quiet and hush down../it will only raise the volume even more...

The hypocrisy of Andy slagging people off in the diary room and then going out and kissing their behind is typical of people like him. Whenever he has tried to argue with people, like Hughie and Jason, he often comes out of it looking worse than he did before. So he goes into the diary room where he gets to spout his invective without the fear of being challenged and ultimately losing, again.

It's always uncomfortable to watch people like him, from privileged middle-class backgrounds, lord it over people from communities where education isn't perhaps as valued. Some of the snide, spiteful things he says about Hughie and Lateysha are no different from Marco Pierre Junior slagging off the footwear of people whose parents don't give them £400 for shoes. He's equally spoilt and obnoxious

So yeah, get rid of the pompous, bitter, miserable little fake. He'll never know a struggle like Hughie has known, he couldn't even begin to understand it, despite making a huge effort to shed crocodile tears for the cameras whenever he thinks it may get him votes

well said deebo.

I don't like Andy or Hughie.

Andy is so condescending in the diary room with 95% of the stuff he says, he wouldn't utter to their faces. But he does say reworded, watered down versions. And people respond to that and he's bemused by it. Odd for someone so self proclaimed as intelligent to catch themselves out that way.

I feel that he's put out by negative reactions to his machiavellian ways because he's A) amazed he's been busted and B) feels he shouldn't have to justify it to such peons.

Typical dumbo with a decent vocabulary and his 'calm' passive aggressive nature.

He reminds me of middle management type guys. Stuck at a certain level that they shouldn't even have attained through a smart appearance, well spoken and approachable demeanour. But don't weild enough power to satisfy their ego. And that irks them.

Hughie. Dullard.

If he wasn't as camp as God knows what and was straight I think he'd have been booted by now due to his sheer aggression. Same principle as when gay guys can squeeze a girls arse and boobs and they'll laugh it off as harmless.
