Re what you quoted from that article:
Quote:
“Ash and Christopher go to the Control Room where Ash says that the therapy sessions were: ‘Highly revealing.’ Ash says that the most honest and open patient was Pav ‘by a country mile.’ Christopher goes on to say that he found Chris ‘quite evasive.”

I have to say I'm a bit puzzled by that. In the highlights, Christopher said a couple of time that Pav's session was "so open, so honest, so raw".
Perhaps there was something very different in the parts that didn't make the highlights, but it doesn't fit what I saw in the highlights at all well. Pav didn't seem especially any of those things. He mostly spoke in a inexpressive, monotone voice, and I don't see how anyone can tell whether he was being open and honest or not. Nothing about it seemed raw.
I'm a bit suspicious of the way some HMs now think Pav is so deserving; it sometimes seems like they think he's more deserving then the rest, not just as deserving; and I have to wonder how much of it is because he's survived votes and gets a good reaction from the crowd. Pav may also have been saying to them things like he's said in the DR, like it's hard coming in late, how he felt when they all nominated him because of it, and he felt isolated feels he's been on as much of a journey.
Christopher does seem to be a good friend to Chris, most of the time anyway. But that's twice now when he's played a significant role in something that could have finished Chris as a HM: choosing him to face the vote last week, and this time picking him for (what they thought was) eviction.
The reason / excuse seems to be that Chris is least interested in winning. But I think wanting to be there to the end (and for the final meal) is as valid and deserving a reason as wanting to win.
Of course, they had to pick someone, and the lion's share of the blame belongs to BB for putting them in that position. But it does seem they may have picked Chris as an easy option, knowing he won't be nasty or vindictive about it and won't hold a grudge; and thinking, perhaps, that the viewers would mind it less than if they picked someone else. Like so much in this series, it leaves a bad taste.




I think Ash could possibly finish above him.

However I saw a clip on BOTS tonight where Chris and Pav were chatting about the task we saw today I think, regarding their exit, reception and how they're perceived and it was a nice chat. I have always said and still believe I'm sure those 2 could have been good friends
