Andrew has been opening up to Mario about his life on the outside world.

Earlier this evening, the pair had a heart-to-heart in the nest. Andrew admitted that he doesn’t know many people on the outside world and that his friends would probably describe him as "funny, awkward, shy and a bit of a loner".

"I just feel if people get to know me they just won’t like me," he commented.

Mario said that intelligent people often have difficulty with "social adaptation and social interaction", adding: "I think especially if you are here to the end you will leave this place a completely different person."

"I hope so, I hope so," replied Andrew.

Mario told the 19-year old student that life for him was difficult at his age because he was still coming to terms with his sexuality. "I would never want to go back to my teens again," he said.

Andrew added that he hopes they both stay in until the end. Mario agreed that it would be "awesome", and vowed never to pick him during the 'Save & Replace' task if the opportunity arose.

Bless him, he seems a very decent person to me. I feel bad suggesting he might be a bit of a bore, hes actually quite interesting.

Anyway I am glad the mods closed that inflammatory thread about Mario and andrew there are some seriously small minded people around if you ask me

He comes across as being really sweet. He's the only one in there being himself!
