That's the spirit :) (the point being a challenge, as you said.)
Still, the option is there if you find yourself really stuck - I'd rather have happy, creatively stimulating participants than frustrated ones :)
I'm not English mother-tongue either (my mother tongue is Italian), I understand the confusion.
"Nice guys come last" is an American saying, as far as I know (I think it originated in some baseball game or some such...I checked, apparently a form of this sentence was said by a Brooklyn Dodgers manager in 1946, referring to the opposing team. It indicated that they were all good and nice enough players, but not good enough to win).
Today the phrase is mostly used in indicating that 'women say they want a nice guy, but then they end up going out with the bad boys' - how much of that is the perception of the so-called good guys who can't take rejection, I don't know.
In the contest of this bingo, you are completely free to interpret it as you prefer: literally, if you want (for example in a sexual contest), or in any other way you see fit.
Hope that helps! :) Let me know if I can help in any other way :)
