Amen to that!

Naughty,

But yes, I want to see Ms Curry do a trial, preferably an eating one as I think they are the worst.

This a small group of people idling away their time till they get sent into the luxurious hotel, conversations are pretty communal. Kendra had no businnes telling Edwina or anyone else, what they can and cannot say. Kendra took the floor and expounded on her views on life with gusto - did she expect complete silence in reurn? Or everyone to agree with her? Obviously she was not prepared for another point of view, in fact Edwina said pretty much what I was thinking. If you don't like the heat Kendra - stay out of the kitchen.

Well I didn't see it like that at all, I have no love whatsoever for Edwina, but Kendra was way out of order with her venormous response to Edwina daring to have a different view to her own she clearly does not know how to handle anything that may seem like criticism.

I get where Kendra was coming from and I believe Edwina did too but she deliberately ignored the points that Kendra was trying to make and turned the conversation around to a different perception of the topic just to get her own point of view across. Kendra used foul language but Edwina was very rude so it's 1-1 I think but the situation was instigated by Edwina's interference and ego.”
This is a completely wrong way of looking at it. They are a small group of people all chatting together, everyone there is entitled to speak - they don't have to be invited.

Kendra was affronted and rightly so that someone would be so rude as to interrupt and attempt to override her when she was herself wrangling with how to express a subject that had huge meaning for her, she was opening herself up thinking she was with friends before she was unjustifiably attacked from an outsider to the situation. She reacted defensively in an emotional way because of her youth.
Edwina knew so well what she was doing, looking for the chink in someone's armour to try and tear them down and seizing upon a few words taken out of contest to try to paint someone into a corner. The actions of a lowlife. or a politician.
Edwina Currie, the parasitical politician that she is, sensed vulnerability and made her move, thinking she could get one over on the dumb (in her mind) blonde, American bimbo, she just didn't expect the girl to have so much self belief and inner strenght about her.
She was scalded lol. And is was really obvious when she was sitting by the fire later, she kept looking over and Kendra slyly and she didn't look smug at all, she looked like a pricked balloon.
Kendra did a great job of being fearless in the face of blatent hostility and bullying from Edwina.
Edwina was trying a little of the Delphi principle on her, that is, trying to get the others to turn on her and make her feel isolated into silence with her opinion. She was convinced this old bully tactic would be successful and staggered that it failed.
I love the way Kendra just sees Edwina for the sly, underhanded, manipulative, fraudulent old crow she is and wasn't one bit fazed by her notoriety Edwina thinks all us little people are going to kowtow and is in a state of shock when it doesn't happen. Kendra talked to her as an equal!!!. The people that don't applaud Kendra are afraid I think. Afraid because they know deep down they haven't got the same courage and would probly lick Edwina's boot in the right circumstance.”
Jeeeezzzzz!! I'd hate to face you across a court room! Youcertainly know how to twist things around to your own personal point of view.
Suffice to say that I totally disagree with your entire post!
