Why does he hate Audley so much all of a sudden??

Because he wants to be like him

Because Audley is James's nemesis, and Ricci is James' twig.

Because Audley is mature,empathic and kind and can also carry a sensible conversation. And to Ricci that means he's 'borin' like'. He likes people like James because they're mean and nasty and he can relate to that.

Because Audley simply filling a pan with a bit of water, or stirring something for a second, is more entertaining than Ricci had been in there

Audley to win

Because Audley is a REAL man, something that bitty boy could never be.

Mamma Dee where are you, Mamma Dee Ricci want Bitty
