The thing is MH and BG are both very polarising characters.
Probably BG more than MH, in that people will either love or hate them.
I think MH has won people round, put his head down, got in with the tasks without complaining, etc.
It’s why big brother changed from vote to evict to vote to save, because the big personality characters would go first, even though a lot of people liked them.
Once it was changed to save, they started staying in because the other side who liked them kept them in.
Long winded way of saying it’s perfectly plausible (in fact very likely) that MH would have been first to go on a vote to leave, but is still actually a favourite.
BG isn’t going any time soon either, as he’s so polarising, and as much as some people dislike him, others love him.
I actually thought the conversation with him and MH went really well, and I thought they both came out of it well tbh.
