You are talking as if every incident is isolated. They have been in there how long now? Three weeks? Generally, in that time KH hasn't had a good word to say about anyone, she has been incredibly negative, facile, hypocritical and has on many occasions been instigator of arguments (and if not, she has butted herself in and made herself part on them, or just lit the blue touch paper then retreated with a smug look on her face.)
Perez has been at the brunt of Hopkins bullying and her turning people against him since the beginning. If I were him after 3 weeks of this I would be pig sick. Yet he's expected to behave exemplary when he's been made into the scapegoat. He is made to have to justify every minute thing he does or says (for some reason.)
You can't discount everything that goes before, there is the last 3 weeks behavior and nastiness towards him which he has had to put up with. Should he just FORGET about that? I certainly wouldn't. He's on edge, he's feeling got at, vulnerable, and in my opinion, Hopkins is at large to blame for that (plus she has manipulated her sheep brilliantly to the same end.)
So I repeat, just because Hopkins isn't physically there in a tiny few minutes of footage, it still doesn't mean she didn't INSTIGATE the trouble or at least be responsive for some of it, especially as Nadia seems to allude that she was responsible in some way.
Sheesh - it's so black and white on here.
