He does seem to be a bit socially clueless doesnt he? And yeh I picked up on a slightly patronising attitude in the boardroom, always apologising for bringing up Katie's mistakes as if she were some child or invalid who needed protecting. Not sure he's that familiar around women.
Weirdly though despite/perhaps because of it, I find him bafflingly endearing for some reason. Now Katie's gone he's my favourite.
i got that vibe of him aswell a while ago, for instance when he said he had to help jade with the choreography in last weeks task, he was really patronising and acting as if jade was incapable of doing it
He's just an unmitigated tosspot so it's not really a surprise he feels that way about women.
I thought it was kind of interesting the way, tonight, when he was asked who to bring back into the boardroom he obviously picked Katie cos of her history but he was also muttering about bringing Jade back in as well before finally settling on Azhar.
That seemed, to me, like he felt like he had an obligation to the "boys club" not to drop ANY of them in the sh*t.
Is it just me who gets the vibe that Adam tends to look down on women? I picked up on it majorly tonight.”
He likes women in a sexist way but you are totally right that he looks down on them. It's been flagged since Week 3 when he Katie volunteered to be project manager and he was incredibly patronising to her.

Not surprised he's not used to women. Shouldn't imagine the ladies are exactly queueing up.

I have to agree with this, the fact he is so socially inept and very different to the other candidates, I always feel a bit sorry for him!
I sense that Adam has a genuine, cliched, proverbial heart of gold. Unfortunately, I also sense that one has to dig through a hell of a lot of bullsh1t to find it.
