Well played Sallie.”

Lol. Very well put.

Nominations are always 'a betrayal' unless someone has gone round making enemies. It is years since people were allowed to nominate "X because she is really missing her family". There is no reason to suppose that Michael had enemies. So he had to nominate people he was friendLY with, regardless of whom the public had chosen. All we know about his actual feelings is that he confided that he didn't want to nominate Sophie.

If being pleasant to someone's face then nominating them and giving reasons is 'stabbing anyone in the back', almost every housemate over the years has been a cold hearted bastard. Perhaps the only housemate you admired was Siavash, for refusing to nominate?

You are inflicting your own prejudices on Michael, and apparently forgetting that we chose the nominees, not him. All he did was read the script. There is no reason in the world to suppose that the quieter housemates have not had lots of friendly conversations with Michael. BB has not been editing them in because they are not 'a story'. You surely don't think that he sits alone in silence except when Sallie deigns to speak to him? And what is this 'absolutely nothing' that other people are doing? They seem a crowd of busy bees to me. You clearly mean that he should have nominated those who were not picking fights all the time. Tough. The people have spoken.
