I had to go back and search because I didn't want to give you the wrong timeline. How bizarre does this all sound now?
Heidi Sets Tim Adrift
It all started with a little un-friendly fire between Tim and Heidi. Tim told Heidi outright that he didn’t trust her, to which she retorted, “I don’t trust you as far as I could throw you!”
So Tim wondered aloud who he could count as friends in the House. Mikkayla, Katie & Lucy all nailed their colours to Tim’s mast and thus were the battle lines drawn!
Ed’s Buried Treasure
Ed’s known for his even keel, but a new anger at Tim has blown a rough wind in his sails.
“This is war,” he declared to HMs in the Kitchen after Heidi’s big blowout. “He’s too good one-on-one,” he said of Tim’s manipulative tactics, proposing the way you beat a bully is to confront him as a group so he can’t retreat.
They say ‘smooth seas do not a skilled sailor make’, and Tim’s no stranger to tumult. He confronted Ed to announce he couldn’t count on the former footballer as a friend. Ed brushed off the accusation but later told HMs, “I’m going to build him up so close that I can tear him down.”
Tully Turns Tactician
Sensing dire straits, Tully quickly went about recruiting Housemates to the HMS Anti-Tim. Her first target? Jade.
Tully drew Jade aside to reaffirm the strength of their friendship, saying other people have gotten in the way of their bond.
“We’ve gotta remember that we’re friends, and we’ve been friends, and we don’t need other people,” Jade agreed, and the pair hugged it out.
Tully immediately scuttled off to inform Ed of the new recruit, and assured him she’d keep Jade on the straight and narrow. As opposed to the curly and loud.
Then proving herself a puppet master in the making, Tully found Tim alone in the Bedroom and gushed, “You know I love you.” Giving him a big hug she added, “You think that I don’t like you.”
“No I do know it – I do know it now,” Tim said, but was unable to make eye contact, perhaps better equipped than most to identify a lie. (It takes one to know one, after all.)
“Prove to me that you love me,” Tully challenged, but Tim’s rudder wasn’t so easily swung.
“I don’t have to prove it!” he argued. “You have to prove that I can trust you!”
Rough waters ahead! It’s sure going to take a master manipulator to throw Tim off his charted course, but could Tully mastermind the mutiny and become the new Captain of the Good Ship BB? Tune in!
