If you were to be very logical about your interpretation (and your interpretation is fairly spot on) he did it for all of those reasons. But then you'd have to rank the import of the reasons in making the decision he made. So 1. votes 2. drunk 3. noms 4. goodness.

Even if you give them equal measure, he's three quarters a selfish git and a quarter not. Even at my most generous, I would say drunkenness ranked no.1. So make it 90% selfish git and 10% empathy.

My honest estimation is that it was 80% - WOAH I've got a chance to ingratiate myself with both the GB hms and the GB voters here; and 20% drunkenness.

Lol this Austin who's always talking about what the British public like on Big Brother etc. You're being played OP

And let's not forget he started the whole thing with his ... you're an amazing human being ... unlike the pretty women in this house (what, she's not one of them?) with big breasts who (as he put it) within twenty seconds you know are bitches. So the whole thing started off with him just wanting, yet again, to throw shade at Jenna and Farrah and Janice.

Hes a beautiful person SP .it made me cry.I said all along hes adorable.

Well said.some disgusting human beings In this world who belittle a man for a genuinely nice gesture .well done him and well done you i lost one of my best friends to cancer and i applaud austin it was a lovely gesture.some people are just horrible nasty and cynical.

As I said I think he IS vain, but in comparison with the American women (who seem to spend 10 hours a day either in front of the mirror or deciding which outfit to wear) he is almost monkish.

Well he is not wrong is he, even if you do not like him saying it.

I just wish he'd shave his sideburns.

Whether it was selfless or selfish, it made Gail feel better, so good for him.

I agree. I truly want to believe it was an act of kindness, and I hope it was but there is always a certain amount of cynicism isn't there? However, I hope this lovely memory will stay with Gail for the rest of her life.

I think Gail is too astute to be taken in by it, but also wise enough to go along with it and accept the gesture with good grace.

Yeah, she is astute. I think you're right, I just wish someone and something could be bloody genuine!!!

Austin seems a decent guy and after doing that he has become my favourite

h
Oh here we go. . Brace yourselves people.

What in god's green earth do you expect them to do to occupy their day? They're sitting there and chatting. God knows none of the British housemates seem inclined to stoop to speak to them.

then he made her cry when he nominated her

Being interested in something other than themselves would be a start.

Oh erin.

it must be the fashion, as lovely David from Emmerdale has it too, looks like wolverine

Austin is genuine nice guy and I hope he or James win

Yes, I can almost here the sincerity in Austin's voice as he nominated Gail

So noble of him to want to boot her out and he even managed to make her cry when he nominated her.

Well done Austin, what a caring guy you are.

Gail probably wants to go home thats why Austin nominated her

Why did she seem upset at being nominated if she wanted to go home? That doesn't make any sense.

Gail shouldnt even be in there with her mental health

Personally I wouldn't shave my head for anyone.....
