He was hedging because he didn't want to further humiliate Candice any further then he already has on Big Brother. But I thought he gave a typical Lawson answer tonight.
Yeah, I guess it was typical Lawson. I think in situations like this though, it gets to a point where you have to stop dredging up any reference to your previous partner, and stand tall with your current one (if Cat is in fact his partner now).
And if he and Cat are together, it would have been the perfect opportunity to do that. He certainly didn't have to say anything too over the top... or jump all over the couch like Tom Cruise did over Katie Holmes. But I think a few positive words about him and Cat would have turned the tabled on the haters.
