It's quite horrible the way that some people are dissecting Lauren and her family. It's up to them how they behave. I actually know that Lauren isn't the only 35 year old person who chooses to live at home. I understand how supportive it must be to have a family to go home to when one has been discriminated against most of their life. And it's apparent that Lauren is now keen to be independent, to move away from home and make a life for herself in the entertainment business.
Why not? How is that any different from Charlotte or Mario wanting to be in the limelight?
There seems to be an underlying strand of a sinister nature running through threads like this one, and the comments therein are of the same type, judging Lauren and family in sprurious, analytical detail, coming almost with too much ease to agreed conclusions in the least academic manner, and all this based on media junkage - which would never apply to any other contestant.
It may be to do with Lauren being transgender and being 'different' from the norm. If so, how absolutely cowardly to hide those prejudices under cover of 'concern' for her mental health!!”

You are entitled to your opinion of Lauren but not everybody feels the same towards her and her odious family. I can assure you I have no problem with transgenders only with fake people.
