At last Nick has come out and said what I've thought all along. Lorraine was picked on because she was perceived as being different from the others - ie. older and so she was seen as a group outcast. Glad he's come out and spoken up for her so strongly. I think she is one of the best candidates.

Definitely one of the best. I'd like to see her in the final with Yasmina.

I also felt they recognised quite quickly that she was a strong candidate, so there certainly seemed to be an element of jealousy involved, and perhaps some attempts to get rid of the competition- ie, make it look like she's not a team player etc...

He's given that kind of comment to all five though so dont read anything into it.
