Oh this ageing thing ay,that and gravity.
Anyone would think that the laws of physics are trying to tell us ageing is a normal transition in life.

exactly, because if you criticise courtney for her behaviour, then how the hell can you laugh off Charlotte deliberately wetting the bed for attention? She knows that if Mario and Charlotte pal up she won't be able to fight against them and all their social media followers... just like all bullies, Carol selects her victims.

People are ridiculed for having plastic surgery and ridiculed when they don't. Shallow and nasty human race!

That would certainly suit the Poor Courtney agenda on this forum.

Apart from Sophie, the other nominated housemates received equally positive reaction from the crowd. There was no stand-out reaction like eg. in the case of when Sam was nominated in BB14. There's no reason for Carol or anyone else to assume that Courtney is a threat to win.

If I recall correctly, Lauren was first saved last night, and received a reasonable crowd reaction. Wouldn't Carol have been better off nominating Lauren if she was so worried about people winning?

The simple fact is Carol nominated Courtney because she is selfish and superficial. Fair play to her.

In your opinion it's not fact. IMO Carol went for the easier target out of the 2 American's. She was just as vicious about Dustin behind his back, she has even more issues with Dustin but she chose Courtney, who wouldn't confront her back. She's a coward. Lauren was saved first twice so while she doesn't understand why that happened she's not going to risk nominating Lauren, whom she can not stand and has a multitude of issues with, not the least of which is that Lauren did not flush after herself.

Carol wants to win. She won't nominate Courtney or Mario because they have massive twitter followers, not because she actually enjoys their company, clearly Louie is the only one on her wavelength.

PS: Selfish and superficial describes the Carol on CBB to a T. Hoarding the booze, hiding it, having others hide it for her is in a word SELFISH. And at least to me she's extremely transparent. I can see what she's doing and why clear as glass. To me she's superficial because I see no depth, no empathy, no care, nothing.

This.

Courtney's got her pretending to be straight Grandaddy to go home to and Carole's got a bloke twenty years younger than her.

Poor Carole.

LMAO - Yeah that is always a deal breaker for me too.

I think that Carol is more jealous of Sophie than she is of Courtney, but she is generally just a very nasty person and I do find that she picks on the more vulnerable for some reason. So I do find her cowardly. Even Charlotte has said that Sophie is stunning and a lovely person but both Carol and Louie do constantly pick on Sophie. Look how Carol has constantly gone on about Sophies mouth, as if Carol is some oil painting herself. I think that now Sophie has gone Courtney is obviously going to be Carols whipping boy so to speak!

Note that when Carol was in the secret room how Louie was quite a different person. He is like Carols nasty sidekick but hasn't got the balls to be so nasty on his own!

I just wish Carol had really gone the other night and was not there now and I was so annoyed that nobody nominated her last night when we were not told she was immune from being voted for!

Totally agree with you, this is Carol to a T! Nasty, selfish and very superficial! Plus she is a total bitch!

She's a jealous old harridan, because she never had those looks when she was young and never will
She can have all the plastic surgery she wants but she will always be a plain jane.

In what way is Carol's career based on professionalism? If Wikipedia is any guide, she did very little before marrying Chris Evans in 1991. Apart from that, her career seems based on being opinionated -- not a good thing.

BTW, is that "not huge bazoomas" meant to be a dig at Courtney? Or do you think that's the only alternative to "professionalism"?

She's a vile jealous old hag.

Why would Carol be jealous of Courtney ? she just sit like how she carrie on during the task up until then she had no problems with Courtney .

House!

This ^ ..

Carol is jealous of anyone who seems truly happy.

Ha ha I too was thinking that has to be at least 19 points and on a triple word score...?????

22 points is house i'm afraid

oh i'm afraid not 8 points short phyllis but good try

You said "If Wikipedia is any guide". It certainly isn't, in this case.

Do you think she was unemployed before she met Chris Evans, or are you assuming that she only got work in the Media after she married him?

Ah but I am playing cliche scrabble!

The toyboy, short skirts, over drinking with the kids and the desire for a facelift don't suggest someone who is confident and happy in themselves to me...

What, like Sophie? Or Courtney maybe? Both such shining examples of truly happy people!

Carol's key 'problem' is that she has zero tolerance for bulls*hit artists and people who take themselves too seriously.

I wasn't using either of these as examples. I'm not keen on either of these either.

Oh well so many on here condemn her saying she needs a face lift? She works in TV where the pressure to look young is enormous for women.That list is nothing to do with confidence. Until the toyboy as you put it, she has supported herself since leaving school ,is independently wealthy, lived alone for most of her adult life, has many friends around the world and had a very successful career in TV Radio and Journalism.She also only drinks at weekends in the real world.I admire her appeal and her liking for all age groups.
