Chris is very introverted, as am I so I can relate to his approach. Sit back, get the measure of everybody, then choose your friends and your battles very carefully. It's taken him 40 days to get used to the dynamics of the house then all of a sudden 3 intruders arrive and mess all that up. All those relationships have to be rebuilt almost from scratch and that's hard to cope with for us extreme introverts.
Chris was never going to be the one to give the newcomers the grand tour of the house. Ideally they should have taken him to one side, had a bit of a 1-to-1 chat to introduce themselves and he would have found that more reassuring than having to make sense of all the chaos on Monday night. Anyway now things have settled he's decided he relates to Zoe and he can get along with Pav. It's just Biannca he can't cope with and I can't say I blame him.

Ah but he is. The editing might be cutting it out but it's becoming clear that Chris is now very respected in the house as the peacekeeper. He was the one who brokered the truce between Helen and Ashleigh and he was the one Marlon turned to when everyone else turned on him. Nobody has a bad word to say about him now. Steven's pathetic attempt to paint him as the biggest game player thankfully fell on deaf ears.

Chris is going to be an amazing BOTS panelist in future.
