I don't have a problem with him lying at all. Its part of the game. But building a glass tower for yourself to look down upon everyone from just seems like self righteous bullshit. Don't justify, just say "Yes, I lied to you. My word is not my bond with you because I don't think you deserve it. So I lied to you in order to get farther." Saying "You forced me to lie to you by your actions, therefore my integrity is still completely intact because this is all your fault" is just straight up bullshit by a guy who feels he has to be better than everyone.
All good points.
But again, to be fair. When Michie and Holly were in control of the house in back to back weeks, Cliff and Nicole said they were completely fine with a final four deal with those two. And naturally, when it came down to it, they thought maybe they should give some thought to what might actually be in their own best interests once they were in the position of power. So they considered keeping Tommy, and used the possibility of keeping Tommy to make deals with Tommy AND Michie with absolutely no thought to the irony of the situation. Like there was no possibility that Tommy and/or Michie might make these deals and then just do what was actually better for themselves once they had the ability to do so. You know, like they were doing. On the surface, there is some basis for Michie's justification of his actions. Could he be less of a douche about it? Maybe, but it seems to be in his nature.
The really crazy thing to me is that Cliff and Nicole somehow convinced themselves that the 'honorable' thing for Michie to do in the situation he was in was to vote out the person who has been most loyal to him the entire game. The person he's been sleeping with. The person he's supposed to care about. Voting Holly out would be the worst thing for Michie's game AND the most scumbag thing he could do on a personal level, and yet that's what Cliff and Nicole thought he was going to do and what he should do. It baffles me.
