Not impressed: ‘He doesn’t care about her, hey,’ Rebecca Zemek whispered under her breath, while Patrick Hayes Dwyer outwardly said he ‘didn’t get’ Bryce’s choice as he knew Melissa would have voted stay
Trying to explain his decision, Bryce blurted out: ‘Me writing leave was to get her out of a toxic environment. It was me looking after her best interests, and for once in my life not being selfish.’
‘Did you think Melissa was going to write leave this week? No.’ Patrick responded.
‘Even if you wrote leave, you’re going to be here for another week. I don’t get it?’
‘The best thing about this experiment is that I don’t have to explain it to you, Patrick. I’m protecting her from bullying,’ Bryce snapped.
After hearing his decision, a visibly upset Melissa said to the camera: ‘I had no idea that leave would even be considered. I’m still a little confused.’
