I haven't really seen her do anything except do her hair/make up and occasionally say "I'm a voice for the lgbt community". She actually hasn't acted upon that.

I'd never heard of her before launch night, but the impression she gave me then was of a very strong and fierce woman who would really stand up for what's right. I thought she would be the one person in the house to knock Katie Hopkins down a peg or two. Considering she is supposed to preach love, equality and acceptance, she has completely accepted Katie's prejudices and not challenged her.

I may not be her "father or children", but boy am I disappointed in her.

HUGE disappointment. Went in the House and was set to become a legend, icon et al but turned into a hypocritical two faced lickspittle

Agreed. A successful stint could have done a lot for her. I'm not so sure now.

A Leg-end in her own lunchtime. She, along with many of the others in this year's CBB will be forgotten about in a few weeks. I have no idea why she was invited to join this year. Probably another indication that only desperate British celebs would want to appear in the programme.

She's the biggest follower in there. People who are enablers of bullies make me sick. She's like the kid sneering and egging on the school yard bully, whilst safely standing behind them.

She totally compromised her rationality in her hate of Perez.

The irony is if Hopkins saw an housemate doing as much arse licking as Michelle she'd be making jokes about it on twitter about how pathetic they are and to be an individual lol. And that's all Michelle has done this series is being a sheep.

A complete waste of time

She has. She is about as feisty and fierce as last week's casserole leftovers.

But then Visage and Hopkins are both horrendous.

You can almost feel them removing the energy and atmosphere from whichever room they are in.

I had great hopes for her in the beginning, was rooting for her.
Disappointment doesn't even begin to cover it!

She`s been a huge disappointment. Why is she so friendly with Hopkins? Surely she stands for everything Michelle is against?

Can't bear the woman.
With all that she's supposed to stand for, she should be opposed to Hopkins,.....instead she sticks up for her!
And why the hell does she think she's "qualified" to speak for the LGBT community?

Because she knows how *they* clap.

Judging by the prevailing mood of DS posters gay and straight, Michelle is one of the few who could come out of this much worse than she went in.

She doesn't have an established career in the UK as far as I know, not like the others who've taken a reputational hit but won't lose their jobs. She's definitely not going to come out smelling rosy (KP, Keith, Patsy) and she's not a glamour model who'll get a promotional boost regardless of how she behaves (e.g. Chloe).

I find Michelle to be amazing, I don't think she is a disappointment at all.

She isn't my favorite housemate but I still wouldn't mind if she won.

Also, what makes anyone qualified to speak for the LGBT community? She isn't the LGBT community as a LGBT person herself, she is in it as an ally. She has been supporting the community for years and years. Is she 'qualified' enough now?

I find it odd that people are judging her for being friends with Katie Hopkins as well. She doesn't control what KH does or says. She doesn't what opinions KH has. But they get on, whether they agree with things or not. It is moronic to judge Michelle on KH behavior.

I agree.

I can't even see her getting many interviews after the show, apart from the contract-required ones, because essentially her role in the house has been KH's sidekick, and everyone will want to hear from KH herself, not her shadow.

Calum, even arguably Kavana, have had more of an individual storyline and therefore more of an angle to sell when it comes to post-show press and public interest.

I've known of her for years. She's qualified because she's been involved in the LGBT community for over a quarter of a century, as a spokesperson.

I love her, but found her a bit dull in the middle, but warmed to her again. She's just being Michelle and that's fine. As she said, she's not there to police people's views. I agree she's not lived up to my expectations, but that's my fault, not hers.

Viacom own the tv channel that produces Drag race , of which there is a possible uk version in the works but Michelle has done a lot of damage to the brand name by sticking her head up hopkin's bum, really can't see the uk version going ahead tbh now

When she first went in I really liked her, I even thought she could win.
I can't help but wonder if we'd have seen a completely different Michelle if she hadn't become Hopkin's lapdog & I'm also confused as to why such an apparently strong woman got sucked in by Hopkins.

Surely she would only have been a disappointment if people had a good opinion of her to begin.

For that to happen they would have to have had even the vaguest idea of who she was and most people wouldn't
