He threatened to leave- they told a narcissistic egotist what he wanted to hear to stay - that it was "the Perez show" - they always persuade HM who want to leave to stay
No one held a gun to his head - they didn't promise him anything - so I don't know what the problem is it was still his decision to stay despite the supposed "Trauma"”

I don't think anyone thought he was physically threatened into staying in fact I don't think many are amazed at all that BB try to keep HMs. However, we have never had any kind of confirmation of this from anyone concerned before. As the first time this has been confirmed I think it's worthy of a bit of interest.
As for promising him something I think that is exactly what they did when they created the secret room task for him. Maybe even this is something that has happened before which wouldn't surprise me but, yet again, this is the first time we have been told about it directly.
I think it would be odd as a BB viewer not to get excited about this
