:wave: @ buffy. Reason I think Derek is worse than Makosi.
As much as I can't stand someone like, twisted sister Makosi - I've said from week 2 she's crazy. I find Derek absoulutely repulsive.
Derek and Makosi are similar characters in that they are both self absorbed, vindictive, malicious liars and manipulators. However, Makosi can recognize and is disgusted by these traits in Derek - whereas, it's exactaly these traits that Derek seems to like and admire in Makosi.
I've come to believe from watching him in the past few weeks, beneath Derek's veener of respectability, his jovial chats in the DR, his seemingly air of nonchalance, Derek is a ruthless and thoroughly unpleasant snob.IMO
ditto Derek is so conceited it's almost unreal
Makosi is a stirrer and likes to think she's in control, despite definition posted by Bunny on another thread I don't think she's got a personality disorder. I just think she's so hypocritical it's beyond a joke.
Derek on the other hand is blatent liar, with delusional sense of his own importance ("I must invite you round for one of my dinner party" - like they're the social event of the year). He blatently lied about calling Anthony gay and attacking his character (bland). Then when he sees Science has inherited the mantle of this week's/day's scapegoat, he pretends to be friends with Anthony and makes out that he's always liked him.
Science is own worst enemy, but he stands up for himself (however over the top). Derek is obsessed with trying to mold Science in his image and when that fails he resorts to making disparaging comments about Science initially based on his colour. This morning he was going on about how Science had turned him into a racist and seemed to wanting Kemal and Craig to join in.
Derek is a snob who looks down on the other HMs and thinks he's so much better than the rest of them. He'll shift his alleigiances to various HMs if he thinks they're hating the same HM at the same time.
As much I as I loathe Makosi, I really want Derek out
PS - Craig "it's not about race with me", so please do explain your "United Nations" and "Queen Africa" comments
