'Very Disappointed'

"I am very disappointed," were the first words Nick heard from Thomas when the Irish peacemaker approached him after his breakdown.

After the group finally cottoned on to Nick's nomination schemes earlier in the day, the shamed character sobbed to Thomas how he plans to leave the house on his own accord. "That is to be discussed at the table," Thomas said formally. "Whether you talk to us today or tomorrow I think you have to talk about it soon."

Along with Mel, who also helped steady Nick's tumbling emotions, Thomas pacified Nick when he needed it most, after being Nick's closest associate in the house the past week. "I don't know if this is your character or if it is just because you are in here," Thomas said, looking distantly at the floor.

"In a way it is such a minor thing," Nick said nonchalantly. "Rules are meant to be broken."

Thomas corrected him in disbelief of his attitude. "Don't try and justify it. It will make you come across arrogant," he said. "A lot of people out there are feeling very hurt. They feel guilty that they were party to this. And it doesn't feel nice."

Nick spoke of his fears that if he chooses to stay in the house, next week he will be on the eviction list for sure. Thomas agreed.

"What I suggest you do now is go and wash your face, get yourself tided up, perhaps get an hours sleep," Thomas advised before leaving.

"I won't be able to sleep, Tom," Nick said as Thomas walked out the door.
