I liked the way last night ended with her laughing. Just shows shes not a moper like we thought she was.
But is this a game plan - what do you think.

[SillyBillyGoat]

A game plan? She's hardly forcing the clique to treat her like they have.

When she was talking in the DR about not eating the spam, there was something about her tone, she sounded sad and tired. She only perked up when BB made her laugh.

I don't know how she can be accused of having a game plan when 75% of the house hate her

[wallster]

Please don't compare this selfish and self-absorbed woman with the wonderful Shilpa. Shilpa was a classy lady.

[starry]

Not a gameplan, and I think it is difficult to win the longer series simply by getting bad treatment in the house, CBB is very different.

[bottleofbest]

Why is Deana being compared to Shilpa? The situation is completely different?

[kimotag]

She could win, but I can't see her getting to the end.The way things are going, she will either be knocked out against one of her allies (probably Lauren) or if she survives will be totally isolated. Imagine her in there for the last 4 weeks with the likes of Arron, Connor, Caroline and Becky! I think Sara and Ashleigh might be occasionally nice to her, but that's about it!

[martinmills2]

depends how long the bullying continues and if she reacts to it graciously. she's dealt with it okay so far, she's always held her own and I think she's come off in a good light, she's made arron look a fool several times, and her exchange with Lydia was good too, but so far theres nothing else to suggest that she could win. if she stays and things progress then maybe but so far id say no.

[anguk]

I think it's quite possible that she could win. Firstly I must say I don't think for one minute that Deana's treatment in the house is anything to do with race but there are other similarities with Shipa. After the treatment Shilpa received from Jade and pals it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that she would win and I think it's quite likely that the same thing will happen with Deana.

Deana has fans but up until now there were also many viewers who were quite indifferent toward her, they didn't dislike her but they didn't like her either. I personally found her quite boring and, dare I say it, a little calculating, but after this week most people will be now backing Deana and wanting her to win. It's quite ironic that Deana could win not because of anything she's done in the house but because of the behaviour of others in there.

I find it quite funny that those idiots in the house who have treated Deana so badly don't realise that they're literally handing the win to her on a plate.

[martinmills2]

I dont get why the people in there do this, do they not know they're on tv?!

I am not that into BB this year and honestly don't care given this lot are, with a few exceptions, the nastiest bunch of HMs I have seen for some time (possibly ever) and for me entertainment isn't about watching people rip each other apart in the name of a "game". I won't be voting therefore they might be trying to manipulate votes but they don't have my hard earned cash. I am still watching, but on record and fast forward the only hope I have this year that at some point the BB I have loved and watched for years returns. Jeremy Kyle is not my kind of viewing, these sort of people are not the sort of people I find entertaining. Its a shame because I have enjoyed the tasks this time around thus far they have been fun and entertaining.

Until BB does something about this extremely negative vibe in the BB house and continues to allow a certain group of HMs to rule not only the house but nominations then my interest will stay at a very minimal level. I have no doubt Deana will survive this week on the back of the highlighted treatment of her (from what I have seen I find it distasteful) and next week she will be up again, possibly against Luke A as he seems to be the next in line for "the treatment" which tells the in crowd who to nominate (exclusion and ridicule). Adam will no doubt be next and then we will return to Lauren, probably then Becky, then Scott (as the outliers of the main group), and then they will turn on themselves.

For the first time ever I am saying we need new HMs. At least four and they need to be fun, compelling and above all positive.

totally agree with this. i never found her boring or calculating but, yes, those idiots don't realise that the public love an underdog and their contempt for her only makes THEM look contemptible.

They are oblivious to their own actions. This lot are no exception they have no self awareness whatsoever.

they are part of the "in crowd" and their group seem to agree amongst themselves as to what is and what is not the correct way to behave. Within their group this is the correct way to behave. I am sure the more learned amongst us can cite all sorts of social experiments in the past where groups of people have "gone rogue" and been completely unable to perceive that what they are doing is wrong because everyone else around them is doing the same as them.

As a stand alone HM I find her dull and uninspiring - however my heart goes out to her atm. And also I have to think that if she wasn't so disliked and excluded (she says herself she can't be bothered anymore) then we may have seen a different more entertaining Deana.

At the moment - who else has "winner" flashing above their heads?

[Verence]

She could win but I don't think she should

As far as I'm concerned people should win BB as a result of what they do rather than what is done to them.

How about the Stanford Prison Experiment??

[Gunner95]

I was going to make this thread earlier but was afraid of being called a racist, going by the overnight swing in the polls, I think Deana could be the new Shilpa(Based on being a bully victim and NOT race)

Agree 100%

[qwertyell]

I don't know. Overall Deana has brought very little to the show. I thought Shilpa was a far more engaged and engaging housemate - Deana has mostly seemed disconnected from the entire process, even before the last few days.

This grubby affair has thrust her into the limelight, but in six weeks' time (assuming that the current situation is curtailed pretty soon in some way) is that all people are going to remember her for? And, if so, is that going to be enough to persuade them to vote her to victory?

[Thrombin]

I've been comparing her to Shilpa since day one. She reminds me of Shilpa because of her bearing and demeanour. The fact that she is being turned on and looked upon as stuck up (as per Shilpa) happened long after I'd already concluded there was a similarity.

I wouldn't be upset if she won as she's my second favourite but I'd still prefer Lauren at the moment.

[premixxed]

I wouldn't like Deana to win purely because of the treatment she has received by the horrible clique, I however would like her to be sat there on a Friday night while one by one the cool gang was evicted.
She has taken a lot of uncalled for abuse, not sure I want her to win, but I really would like her to finish above the Neanderthals.

And yet you completely ignore my point that CBB only lasts about 3 weeks.

Aaron was accused of having a game plan last year, the majority of people disliked him including here and the bots.

I'm really worried that, the way things are going, the only one who will finish above the Neanderthals is the winner. The other group have the upper hand right now and I'm not sure how that's going to change. They'll keep putting the good ones up and we can only save one.

My only real hope is if Lauren has enough support from the other side to avoid being put up before one of the nasty ones. Then we can start getting some traction.
