Yes, I posted this link in the appreciation thread. Lauren has been through a lot and she should be very proud of herself. I hope she wins.
........no wonder Lauren says she's been through a lot and her background explains perhaps her lack of self-awareness. I can't believe too how much she's aged since that documentary too.
But i like her, and she seems happy, so that's the main thing.
I pitied her too at the time of the documentary and also when she was on Big Brother's Big Mouth. But just went way off Lauren when she was on BBBOTS with Pete Burns.
Between them they were down right nasty especially towards Aaron when he won.
So far we haven't seen that side of Lauren, and I hope we don't. Perhaps she has learned to be a little kinder to other people since then.
two thoughts have occurred to me regarding this don't know whether either hold water but....
1. BOTS guests generally have to tow the line don't they? even iain lee had to....maybe it the was made clear these are the sort of comments we want and
2. If Lauren has wanted to go on BB for so long, seeing loud obnoxious people get on it year after year maybe that was her way of getting on the show?
just random thoughts though....
random thoughts or not you've certainly explain a few inconsistencies for me.
thank you planets.
He is blatantly rude to a family that is eccentric and silly, certainly, but hardly the dangerous criminal fraudsters he acts like they are.
Despite saying he'll say what he thinks to their faces and won't make sarcastic comments in voice-over, that's exactly what he spends 95% of the programme doing, pontificating arrogantly about how pathetic it is to want to be on TV when he himself is on TV.
It's an odious, nasty 'documentary' that just shows Allen up for the aggressive creep he is.
Regardless of what one may think of Keith Allen he's not wrong. They are criminals.
Lauren's father was convicted of insurance fraud for burning down his fancy dress shop. Their doctorates are not real ones and if they are truly practicing counsellors then it's unethical.
Certainly the fact that Lauren's mother was her counsellor (under an assumed name) that gave the recommended for her gender realignment is even more illegal and unethical. There's no getting around that being very dodgy territory.
I just said in another thread that I think there are 2 Laurens - the nice enough eccentric Lauren and the famous at any cost carcrash Lauren created by her parents.
I last watched it when it was aired, but weren't they found to have been masquerading as 'counsellors', despite the fact the qualifications they had were ones they gave themselves? I would say that was pretty harmful if someone with serious issues went to them for help. And I think the father was also convicted of burning down his own shop for insurance purposes. Good luck living next door to him.
And that's leaving aside the disgraceful way they used their child (James/Lauren) to get fame and money for themselves by pretending to be an antiques expert.
Harmless eccentrics they are not, and Keith Allen was right (indeed, morally obliged) to point that out for everyone to see.
edit: beaten to it!

Never gets old...
Keith Allen showing his true colours on The Late Show.
Yes Lauren's family used her, but I feel that she is now complicit in the whole business. She also has fake certificates, she willingly participates in and encourages the search for fame at any cost and in what appears to be fleecing members of the public with all their fake credentials.
She's old enough to be able to escape the whole business, but chooses instead to remain involved, as do her brothers.
It is sad to see her saying she has no friends, but whether that's down to the fact that she has a massive ego and is rather unlikeable (in my humble personal opinion) or whether her continued allegiance to her family excludes such relationships, who knows.
I feel sorry for her and yet dislike her at the same time.
there is no excuse for other interviews she has done
I still remember the very serious interview on This Morning about very young transgender kids spoiled by her actions at the end that totally negated the discussion
Im sick of the excuse of towing the Bots line, Lauren has watched enough BB to know that being unusual and not rocking the boat gets you far in the BB house
If she acted in the house the way I have seen her on other programmes not many people would find her so sweet and innocent
I get it that she looks and acts like a good HM in the house right now but IMO she is not acting as I have seen her in the past
As for her family and their fake doctorates not being criminals... They most certainly are.to council people you need to be qualified as you could do more damage than good
Yet it's Lauren who's still trying for fame, and her parents remain virtual unknowns.
I'm not sure guests have to toe a line, but they might not be invited again if they say something that goes too far in a direction BB doesn't like. However, plenty of guests who weren't as irritating and unpleasant as Lauren have been invited back.
Besides, no one has to go on BOTS at all. Anyone with integrity would not go on a show that required guests to toe a line.
I think the parents gave up trying to get famous themselves back when they decided to market Lauren as an antiques expert when she was a child. My guess is that they're motivated by money rather than fame, but see a famous child as a goldmine. One thing, though - in Lauren's little known 'Nine to Five' show (shown on an obscure channel) there was a reference at the start of each episode to 'Lauren and her crazy family', so there's no doubt that the mother, at least, still harbours thoughts of becoming a 'name'. You see this also in the Keith Allen documentary, in which she brags about the tabloids having her number because they know 'there will always be a story about us'.
Where is Pete Burns - I liked him as a guest on BBBOTS - is he banned or something ? he was good telly, and liked him on CBB !
