She chastised him: 'I'm just going to finish. I was just the only one that was brave enough to raise it.'
'It feels like there's an implication behind when you state a fact. Sometimes, David, I feel like you're then implying something, and it's only you, and then you allow everybody to then look back at me and think, why did she do that?'
He defiantly told her: 'Well, that's exactly what I'm doing.' Before patronisingly adding: 'That's what we are supposed to be doing. We're stating a fact because that's how you have conversations. That's exactly what I'm doing.'

As Cat, Alan, Joe, Nick and David relaxed in the castle after the tense discussions, they were then ushered out to the fire pit.
Claudia told them they were the final five finalists and nobody would be getting murdered.
She then asked them to all individually tell the group that 'I am a faithful'.
Traitor Alan immediately burst out laughing as he tried to repeat the words, which aroused suspicion.
Joe said: 'It's just another confirmation of what I'm thinking already about Alan. He can't even look us in the eyes and say I'm a faithful. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.'

Earlier in the episode, it was Celia who became the traitors final victim.
To celebrate finally catching Traitor Jonathan Ross, host Claudia threw them a dinner party in the castle but there was a twist.
Traitor Alan was forced to murder in plain sight during the festivities and after surveying the remaining faithfuls he made his move.
The comedian, 49, made a speech to his fellow players reminiscing about his time in the castle, particularly his friendship with Stephen Fry.
He said: 'Stephen, he's just got that brain, and it's just the quotes and everything he'd say. And, what did he say to me before he went to bed? Parting is such sweet sorrow, Celia.'
The deadly phrase sealed the Calendar Girls star fate as she became the final contestant to be murdered.
As she entered the diary room, she spotted a letter on the chair.
Realising her fate, Celia said: 'Oh, Lord, this is not a very good sign. Am I dead?'
The letter read: 'Dear Celia, by order of the traitors, you have been murdered yesterday, the traitors murdered you in plain sight.'

Players successfully completed the task adding a further boost to the prize pot, but were left in hysterics at the appalling likeness of the faces
The actress hit back: 'Oh, honestly, just because I was brave enough to get the one traitor out, what a mean one. I love being here.
'It's been gorgeous, and I'm devastated. I so wanted to stay till the end, but it's a game.'
The news of her murder did not go down well among her friends, with former rugby player Joe Marler particularly angry about the dastardly act.
An emotional Joe fumed: 'I miss her already. My darling Celia is gone. My heart is broken.'
'It's just made me want to get the traitors even harder. But I'm sick of this. They are taking out some lovely, lovely people.
'I'm not having it anymore. I need to get the traitors gone, gone, gone.'

Alix Earle’s Stepmom Slams Cheryl Burke Over Low ‘DWTS’ Score with Shocking ‘Ozempic’ Jab trucc
Alix Earle’s stepmom, Ashley Dupré, had a low blow for former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke.
Dupré posted her live reaction to the the influencer’s “Halloween Night” tango routine on TikTok Tuesday and praised the “f—ing amazing” dance.
While the three judges — Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough — each gave Earle and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy a perfect score of ten, guest judge, Burke, gave the dancing duo a nine.
“Oh, go take more Ozempic,” an angry Dupré, 40, said in the video after Burke, 41, revealed her score.
Alix Earle’s stepmom, Ashley Dupré, lashed out at “DWTS” guest judge, Cheryl Burke, for giving the influencer a lower score.
Dupré posted her live reaction to the the influencer’s “Halloween Night” tango routine on TikTok Tuesday and praised the “f—ing amazing” dance.
When one of her young children questioned the cruel comment, she doubled down, saying, “She looks weird. She doesn’t even look like that.”
Some followers in her comment section were not too pleased with the former escort’s dig at the two-time Mirrorball winner.
“That ozempic comment was so unnecessary,” one critic said.
“Everyone being an active bully and thinking its okay because Alix didn’t get a 10??? What is wrong with yall,” another added.
“Oh, go take more Ozempic,” an angry Dupré said in the video after Burke gave the dancing duo a nine rather than the other three judges who gave tens.
When one of her young children questioned the cruel comment, she doubled down, saying, “She looks weird. She doesn’t even look like that.”
Many of her followers found her comment funny, writing, “THE OZEMPIC COMMENT I was literally thinking the same thing ” and “I’m peeing at the ozempic comment.”
Burke broke her silence on her dramatic transformation back in March when many concerned fans thought she was sick and others hurled “shocking and hurtful” digs her way.
“I’m not on Ozempic. I’m not sick,” she clarified in a candid TikTok video. “I didn’t get a face transplant, and no, I didn’t get a brow lift.
Some of her followers weren’t happy with Dupré’s dig at Burke, one user even called her a “bully.”
The former “DWTS” pro broke her silence on her dramatic transformation back in March when many concerned fans thought she was sick.
“The level of projection that is happening and that I’m witnessing is wild,” Burke continued, blasting haters for gossiping about her as if she isn’t “a person” — and for comparing her current looks to her younger self.
“I hate to break it to you, but that Cheryl doesn’t exist anymore,” the choreographer declared. “The assumptions are just exhausting as hell.”
“My face has changed because I’ve changed. I’ve experienced so much trauma, divorce, and this is by no means a pity party,” she said referencing her split from Matthew Lawrence. “Sobriety, burnout, reinvention, I’ve healed, I’ve lost, I’ve grieved like anybody else.”
“I’m not on Ozempic. I’m not sick,” she clarified in a candid TikTok video. “I didn’t get a face transplant, and no, I didn’t get a brow lift.
She also called out trolls who were comparing her current looks to her younger self.
In August, the Emmy nominee revealed that she lost 41 pounds by using a “delicious” portion control food delivery service called Z.E.N. to keep her on track, noting that she’s “very lenient” when it comes to diet.
She also shared that she used to be an “emotional eater” who ate late and hit up fast food drive-thrus while at her heaviest weight, 150 pounds.
“The last time I checked, I was 109,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I feel f—ing great; my energy is on another level. That 109 doesn’t matter, what matters is how I feel.”
The “DWTS” alum — who retired as a pro in November 2022 — weighed in on judges receiving backlash due to their scoring while chatting with Page Six ahead Tuesday’s show.
“I think for the newer fans, what they should try and realize, I can’t force it down their throats obviously, but you can’t compare the couples, because they’re not doing the same dance style,” she explained.
She specifically defended Inaba who has been blasted by fans online for giving tougher feedback.
“All of the judges have said something that maybe the audience may not have liked. But the reaction of it has been a lot different, for sure, when Carrie Ann says something.”
“But look, ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t.’ You’re never going to please everybody.”
