Well she has been a bit bitchy. But I don't hold that against her because for me what she said didn't bother me and sounded like a natural reaction to certain things, and was quite mild bitching.
In fact it may have been something which gave her a slight edge over Ashley and may have even been seen as more of a positive reason to vote for her.
Whether she used Kiki or not to win, I would say that people say much nastier things than that on these forums.
Somebody may actually think that, but not necessarily mean to say it with the intent to be unkind.
It's quite plausible that contestants may use 'tricks' to try to win and if somebody felt that Charlie tried to manipulate voters with her daughter then that may just be what they genuinely happen to suspect and can be a valid feeling they have.
Wouldn't it even be naive to think that celebrities who go on these shows NEVER try to gain an advantage by playing on the voters' emotions?
I think it can be a valid opinion to hold.
Are contestants on the show immune from criticism? The premise of the show is for the viewers to judge them which means that not all judgments are going to be about praise for how wonderful the celebrities are.
Sometimes the opinions can be more negative and I don't see what's wrong with that if the premise of these shows where you vote are entirely based on judging people.
