Loving Lauren - and the first big hurdle overcome.

I absolutely <3 <3 <3 Lauren!!!

She is stunning but not just that - she reminds me a bit of things in myself so when she has got emotional, I have as well

It's everything about her now, personality AND looks

Really hope she can avoid being up this week. I'd be pretty shocked if she was, but still, fingers crossed!

She's probably going to be hated now as she nominated Deana (as Deana nominated her last week.) I like Deana but it's annoying how she's treat like some kind of deity on this forum now.

Don't forget, Deana was telling Lauren she wanted to be nominated because she wasn't enjoying her time in the house and didn't want to walk. Lauren was probably doing her a favour.

Good old Lauren nominating Deana. Knew we could count on her to nominate the right people.

Yeah but that wasn't shown on the highlights so the majority won't know.

Omg can't believe I haven't posted here before, love Lauren Although I am slightly annoyed with her for nominating Deana, just because Luke S would have been up as well if she didn't Still want Lauren to win though!

Bit annoyed by BOTS. First the psychologist says nobody could flit between the two groups except Beccy, even though Lauren is already doing it.

Then Noel Clarke starts talking nonsense about Lauren being a non-entity who he's hardly noticed. Ridiculous

Lauren is such an amazing, selfless person. It's a shame she shares a house with a bunch of morons who don't appreciate her, and instead hate her because they are jealous.

I'm still baffled as to why she was getting so much stick on the main forum for nominating Deana? Deana nominated her last week, so she has every right to not fully trust her.

It's nice to see that it's only Ashleigh who seems to have a problem with her now (but what a silly problem it is!)

Simple answer: because most people on the main forum really like Deana and were happy to see Lauren getting on with her. So were disappointed to see that this new found friendship wasn't what they thought. Also, it meant that one of the "insiders", as BB are calling them, escaped being put up for eviction

I have to say, I was similarly disappointed. I never liked it when Deana and Lauren seemed to dislike/mistrust each other and was glad to see the relationship thaw.

While it may have been tit for tat, it does suggest that Lauren's previously touching pact with Deana was not sincere, which is a shame.

Personally, I prefer to think that Lauren was nominating her because she thought that's what Deana wanted (as per the conversation they had a few days ago). That may be wishful thinking, though...

Some people think she's shooting herself in the foot by nomming a fellow "outsider" instead of retaining solidarity with that group and nomming an "insider". However, I don't think it works like that for Lauren. BB never actually listed her as a member of the Outsider group and, I agree.

There was a recent facebook clip where Sara and Caroline were saying that they really liked Lauren. We know Conor, Shievonne and Arron like Lauren and we know Luke A and Adam like Lauren. So she's actually got no need to split her noms down one side or the other. She has good relations with most people and Deana is no closer a friend than any of the others.

^I agree with the latter part of your post. The only person who really has a dislike for Lauren is Ashleigh. Whilst the others went along with that at first, they seem to have moved on from it have their own opinions now. And Lauren gets on with pretty much everyone now.

Hi all! Lauren is my fav this year so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. You may not see me a lot in here because I'm out in the MF defending Lauren. LAUREN TO WIN!

I just noticed Lauren is now second favourite to win with the bookies (behind Luke A)

She makes the funniest faces.

Good call, yes she did. I'm not sure if it was shown on the HL's though.

My two fav's

Does Cherry Healey remind anyone of Lauren?

Just watched her on BBC3 and I thought it was really striking. Even some of the facial expressions!

I'm gonna be a man and admit that I tear'd up when Lauren was stood in front of her sister. Poor girl has been given unwarrented stick from the other HM's, had cigs cut up and at this point looks like she needs a friendly face to talk to and they bring her sister in and oh man it broke my heart

Hi everyone. Lauren's still my favourite. She's the most interesting to watch. Loved her going nuts on Arron's bed.

I haven't watched last nights HLs yet, but did read what happened. Were the cigarettes the ones she bought in, her luxury item? If so, that's ridiculous.

Yes, they were. She was also upset because the brand she likes wasn't on the shopping list so she can't replace them properly even with the next shopping budget.

They weren't just her cigarettes, it was all the cigarettes in the house I think, but most of them were hers since she had brought in a big supply to last her. And she'd already given loads of them away to other people too. Must have been a terrible day for her, but after her hilarious punching the bed moment she seemed to be ok.

As has been pointed out, she does make very interesting faces.
