However, I do believe she is extraordinarily adaptable, a human chameleon in terms of character, she adopts a character that she believes gains maximum advantage in any situation: where she believes aggression, savagery and ruthlessness are expected and profitable she will adopt those traits, and where they are inappropriate and unprofitable, such as in YBF, she will adopt entirely opposite traits.
I have yet to decide if she does have a moral framework which she suppresses if she perceives it as inconvenient when striving for success and status, or if she is prepared to adopt any moral framework that is advantageous at any one moment.
Was she really being sincere in YBF where she admitted to being aggressive and morally questionable and implied she accepted she had been abusive of others in her ruthless and self-serving approach and regretted much of it and had now learnt a life-changing lesson and changed her approach to life? Or was this an insincere expediency because she was faced with a morally-inclined and potentially critical audience, in the studio and in the outside world? With someone as clever and quick thinking as she is, determining whether she presents a pragmatic façade or is being genuine, is extremely difficult.”

Haven't you noticed how often the women change their hairstyles and look the minute they are axed and on YBF?
They seem to go from "I'm professional, I take no crap etc" into I laugh at everything, I'm a soft person kind loving person. How much friendlier, nice and a bit girly did Melissa look with the darker hair and a different haircut?
Maybe they are different, but my first reaction is always here we go it's the audition for my media work time. Look at me I'm fun, I can be a reported on This Morning or a similar show. The transformations tend to be so big it just appears fake to me.
