It's not like she ever offers an alternative, though. She never states what she wants. She flirts around subjects then says she doesn't know what to do, so of course he is going to express his opinion. Imagine if they were both indecisive. God it would be awful to watch.
I don't blame him for shooting down the idea of playing the footage. Regardless of how he worded it, it was always Cat's decision because she was the one with the power. He probably felt pretty vulnerable at that moment considering the fact it really was not up to him. She could have just made the decision for both of them and kept him blissfully ignorant - it was pretty obvious neither would want the house seeing that footage - but she doesn't seem to be able to make a decision on her own.
Lawson is a massive douchebag but something about Cat also rubs me the wrong way. And no, it's not the whole, she's a woman therefore she's a skanky homewrecker thing, hiss hiss etc ;P
I just think she is disingenuous. Putting the stops on the relationship now is absolutely ridiculous not to mention pointless. As others have said it's too little too late so I do think people are right in saying she was hoping he would be all in and she wouldn't have to worry anymore. I think the only reason she's so stressed is because she senses that Lawson isn't fully onboard with the situation so it kinda makes her come off as the relentless pursuer. If anyone is trying to manipulate the other person, it's her, trying to coax Lawson into making the decision SHE wants... to make her feel better about her part in the whole sordid saga. I get the impression she thinks if Lawson says "yes I totes love you, let's do this thing" it would be a massive weight off and she would literally not give a flying fuck about Candice. I think she only really cares about the gf factor now is because of how it reflects upon her, because of other peoples' perceptions and because it clearly is affecting Lawson - which affects her. I honestly think she sees the gf factor as a drag, it's the only thing stopping her from being able to properly pursue this guy she is attracted to and the fact she can respect her ex enough not to discuss their relationship because he isn't there to defend himself yet she won't offer Candice even a modicum of the same respect screams to me that she doesn't give a shit. Tbh she doesn't even afford Lawson any respect. Flirting aside, he did tell her it couldn't happen ages ago. If she was a decent person and respected him, she would have drawn a line too. She wants what she wants. Basically I think she's incredibly selfish... like most of the housemates this year.
Lawson looks like a trapped animal whenever they have those one on one conversations. His face goes red, his eyes betray him. Last ep looked like he was thinking, "why the fuck do you want to get off the ride now?!" and the reaction to the love comment was pretty telling.
Not to trivialise his part in the whole thing because obviously he's the one with a girlfriend and he's a total fuckwit who has also expressed feelings for Cat, but I think he's incredibly weak willed for all his arrogant blustering. I think one of the main reasons he hasn't put a stop to the whole thing is because he is worried about hurting Cat's feelings. Cat is in front of him 24/7. It's hard to hurt someone fullstop let alone when they are in your face all day and you have to look them in the eyes when you do it... repeatedly.
That or he's just a dickhead. Regardless, he should have seriously nipped it in the bud before it got to the point of no return and the Sanctuary should never have happened.
They are a pair of arseholes. Their motivations may be different but they are both massive arseholes.
. I am sick of watching this so-called controversial "love affair".
