I think that about sums it up

51 ... blimey, I'm a year older than her! I sleep less but want to sleep more, blame my old bladder

As to bitching about Jade behind her back (mentioned above in another post), I'd say that's a two-way street. BB's about the 'bitching' (commonly known as talking about somebody ) ... we'd have no show if nobody spoke about other people.

She is old compared to them Why can't she accept that. Kieran was talking to her about sleep and said that he thought as you got older you needed less sleep which is actually true.

I'd prefer her to just laugh off any crass comments she gets about age instead of acting like it's the latest issue that needs to be dwelt on and argued out.

She grates on me.

I don't find her very genuine at all, I think she's trying too hard to appear entertaining and instead she seems false and a bit cringeworthy.

Being an 'older' person myself I feel I should be able to identify or sympathise with her. I find I simply can't I think she tries too hard to be cookie and she just looks beyond ridiculous. I!m often acutely embarrassed for her.

Nice to see it's not just us "younger" people who are singing from that sheet

I think she's extremely assertive rather than aggressive. Almost coldly so at times. I'd find it quite intimidating I think. But I also kind of admire someone who can assertively tell someone to "butt out" without either losing her temper or allowing them to tread on her turf. And then when it's done, it's done. No hard feelings. She has quite good emotional intelligence compared to the others IMO.

She's much tougher than she first appears. I think that contradicts her dizziness and can seem quite paradoxical.

You're talking about someone who has had countless cosmetic procedures done, presumably in an effort to remain youthful in appearance, or possibly to help her forget that she's getting older every day.

She received many nominations last week citing her age so I think she was right to pull him up on it and quash the idea that they can keep using 'worrying about keeping her awake because she's old' as a reason to nom her.

Her "dizziness" is put on, that's why.

She knows exactly who she is targeting and when she's called out on it she goes into "aggressive" mode.

I'm torn with Eileen ,sometimes i don't mind her and others she gets right on my wick ,,but she did well to tell Sarah to butt out .

Sarah made herself look stupid in that conversation by trying to insist she wasn't backing Kieran when that's exactly what she was doing and when Eileen rightly pointed this out to her ,she then stropped off like a teenager muttering as she went out the door

Yes Eileen just wanted to get something off her chest and that was that she is NOT old, because old people are offensive and Eileen is not one of them.

my interpretation is that eileen was making it very clear to everyone albeit in a roundabout way ,that her age shouldnt be used as a reason for nominating her.

I wish Eileen would just go to sleep and wake up for her eviction. To young people she is old She needs to accept she is not a twenty year old.

Feel sorry for her, cant be easy being 50 in that house. Dunno why they put older people in there unless they put a few in n makw it more even!

What a great post. So good to see you're still here Alrightmate. Voice of reason, as always

Absolutely agree. It was so funny! I like Sarah but that was just daft. Funny how people cannot see things right in front of them. I'm not sensing a general warmth to Eileen in the house so maybe that's what it is. Sarah trying to be polite but really wanting to tell Eileen to f off. Dunno. If there was only some kind of internet device that would allow us to see everything that goes on in there..... I've heard that in olden times it was possible. How sad that we lost that piece of technology.

How long does Botox last? I find myself watching her forehead hoping that soon it will start to move! Her face just looks really weird and I don't understand why people want to do that to themselves.

I thought Eileen came across very well tonight actually, she has had a lot of ageist comments thrown at her in the house (even being nominated because of it) and Kierans comment seemed like the straw that broke the camels back.

She went up to him and tried to sort it out and other people got involved when it was none of their business.

Not pointing you out personally Sniper, but where in the scale of Big Brother is Eileens aggression. ? I put her around the 1,500th most agressive HM, if I am being mean

She went to other people to ask them but they didn't agree with her and she didn't like that.

I really don't see that saying he thought as you got older you needed less sleep was really such an issue. She probably is wound up about age being mentioned but it's kind if inevitable in this set up when everyone is in their 20s and she is in her 50s.

I think her problem is she doesn't want to admit to her age and I'd suggest the facial treatments are testament to that. If she'd just accept it and champion it rather than fight it I think it would stop being an issue.

correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he take issue with her accusing him of using the word 'old' when he actually said the word 'older'? If so, there is a difference, and I can understand him wanting that cleared up.

Me too, can't decide if she really is a misunderstood twit, or a manipulative cow.

She comes across as patronising and bossy sometimes.


It is difficult to make sense of when they didn't show the full conversation but it looked to me as if as soon as she heard the word "older" she stopped listening, got offended and imagined things that were never said.

The manic egg bashing task made her look an utter idiot. She just tries too hard.

So busy putting on a show she lost.
