Joe Swash
After David’s comments to Nicola prior to the Bush Tucker Trial, Joe came to his defence.
He said: "I can say what I want to these people but you say something . . . . You said yesterday to Timmy about performing and you say one little thing and there’s a big argument."
Simon said: "I’m not getting involved. Some people let things go on and some people don’t. Some people let things go on for a lot longer than it should. Some people know how to manipulate other people and some people don’t and that’s what I’m seeing. Manipulation all over the place. No one’s right and no one’s wrong. It’s spread in the last couple of days."
Joe said: "I’ve really got to stay out of it because I’m getting involved in stuff I don’t need to get involved in. It’s ruining my time and I know it’s annoying Simon (as well)."
Simon added: "Why would I want to get involved and someone being snidey to someone else?"
David said: "It depends on your definition of snide."
But David’s earlier taunts to Nicola had annoyed Simon. He reacted to David. "I know what snide is. Maybe it was the way I was raised and the way you was raised. There’s a time and a place and it’s how you say things. But what I don’t like seeing is someone on their way to a trial riled up about something that they don’t need to be riled up about."
But Joe pointed out to Simon "Don’t you think she riled herself up because she doesn’t like David. She’s doing it to herself."
Simon added: "Let’s not pretend. You (David) don’t like her."
