Many people have commented that Dee is caring and has shown a lot of compassion to others in the house. I think Edele has done so much more. She seems to reach out to the less popular housemates and shows a lot of patience and understanding when talking with them or about them (Gary and Frenchie).

You're quite right but she doesn't seem to get much airtime. In this house patience and understanding don't seem to count for much, you have to do the opposite to get airtime, sad:(
Agree with you.
Mine too:)
I don't see why they should be put against one another? If I think one shows a caring side, it doesn't mean that the other can't. I think they've both showed themselves to be patient and understanding with the other housmemates.
Whether people like Dee or not or believe shes is being 'false' or not, the fact remains that she has listened and supported quite a few of the housemates in there at their vulnerable times and also been there for people to talk to about their problems (be it superficial ones like Riccis love life, or Edeles feelings over her marriage break-up). Shes showed interest in them and given some good advice. The fact the housemates felt most comfortable with her and trusted her to share these moments with her, shows she connects with people and I'm sure if you had to ask quite a few housemates when they come out if she had helped them at their worst times or been a good support to them, they would say that she had.
Edele has shown herself to be caring and considerate too - she is patient with people and trys hard to understand where they're coming from. She tries harder than most to see the best in people rather the worst, which is a nice trait to have - and she also shows maturity in trying to deal with a drama rather than making it worse.
Agree.She is compassionate.Frenchy seems to have singled her out as someone to talk to.
I see Dee as poking her nose into other people's business. She seems to think that she has a role as a counsellor but her methods leave a lot to be desired.
Self appointed mama of the group. I find her concern to be quite disingenuous.
She is all over Kellie as she knows she is in the news,
Many people have lauded Dee for these very reason. I was suggesting that Edele has also "been there" for people in the house. In fact, she has been there for the less popular housemates and that takes courage; especially in a house where people are looking for reason to nominate one another. I feel Edele comes across as much more sincere. I don't know much about Dee. I've read what people have said here and some have linked to articles about her appropriating money from her workplace. I am basing my opinion of her on what I see. I think she seems calculated and disingenuous. Does anyone know if she is/was a fan of BB? Has she seen it before?
Well I think both have been there for the housemates and helped them. One being seen as being supportive to the housemates, doesn't rule out another one as being as supportive or not. I think both are. I'm convinced there will be quite a lot of the housemates who will say that both Dee and Edele were there for them, helped them in the house and gave them good advice. Edele would say that of Dee and I'm sure Dee would say the same of Edele. They are both people who for whatever reason, the housemates trust and feel they are listened to, feel comfortable in opening up to and getting advice from. they have different skills and talents but do a supportive 'job' in different ways.
Whether you think they are only pretending to be caring or not is a matter of opinion, and we'll all have different views on that
Really interesting that she's able to be nice and supportive to the ones who are the least popular in there - I think it shows she has her own mind and isn't part of any sheep-think that's going on.
I knew she looked familiar and finally remembered she was in B*witched (
I like her so far.
I agree.
I think Dee likes to be seen as the maternal counsellor where Edele seems to naturally understand people and have the brains to analyse what's happened and the sensitivity to empathise and the guts to speak up for people when it's required.
Shows strength of character and I'm impressed.
Really? In what sense? (This is a friendly 'ask' just in case it comes across otherwise!
I think Dee seeing someone upset and going to comfort them is instinctive and part of her nature. She may not always give good or wise advice but I've haven't seen anything that points to a motivation other than wanting to just try and make things better/calm people down.
Re Edele, I think she's probably the nicest, most grounded, most decent, least showbizzy person in there.
How telling that they've both had the least amount airtime.
In fairness, James does that too
