"manipulate" is a very loaded word. Most if not all intelligent creatures manipulate to some extent.
In other words she was playing a bit of a sly game.......trying to manipulate the others.........OMG, we'll be accusing her of playing to win, or other heinous crimes, next.
I think in the context of BB trying to manipulate the other HMs is part of the game
I think we are on safer ground having a go at her for being dull and uninteresting, which is surely the biggest BB crime as far as us, the viewers, are concerned.
In any case I thought Jason was more pervy around the women than Ahmed........

Codependancy is an excellent basis for a relationship between codependent people.

She was being 'manipulative' by any definition.
Even if she did really think Ahmed was a perv she was just using the fact against him and get sympathy for herself, to win a game.
the title of this topic should say " a thread for shell haters"

Ahmed wasn't going to win, was he? I don't think winnig it ever came into the equation.

Eh? just because he might not have won doesnt mean she didnt want to hedge her bets.
Can anyone give me the name of one housemate (I'll take Emma as a given) who didn't, at some point, manipulate?

Not to the same level as Shell.
And the old 'she wasnt the only one' ploy won't work here.

If that's what Shell wants, that's fine. But why is it any more healthy than a woman who perhaps has had a several boyfriends?

Agreed.
But Shell didn't mind him.

The point is that Shell freely elected to behave in a manner that would appeal to 'pervs' on the outside.

Kitten.
Possibly Dan.

That's because Jason was seen as an 'alpha' male, and being P/A Shell latched on to him and Dan in order to up her status in the social hierachy.

It didn't appeal to me.

I'll agree with Kitten. To be honest I'd forgotten about her.
