And how "fragile" she supposedly is?

I just don't see it. She's a 26 year old woman, not a child.

She hasn't got many funnies, that's for sure.

Chloe has learned that if you play the wilting, fragile butterfly, you can get away with being a really annoying pain in the arse and make others feel guilty and look after you, and you don't have to learn a bit of self sufficiency.

I'm not sure of her, she enters this really vulnerable making world and career, for which you need to have a bit of a hide, and I think IF she really was that 'fragile', she wouldn't have gone NEAR IT.

She'd be having the vapours on the sofa at home where it's safe.

Her struggles weren't even a thing when the series started. Her alcholism first got mentioned as an excuse to Austin.

I agree OP. I'm fed up of it. If she's that fragile the last place she should go is the BB house. I'm also fed up of other hms fawning over her.....Janice, then Natasha tonight. As the OP says, she is a grown woman who has been 'strong' enough to be on 2 reality shows, the Face (or model programme) and the X factor. She is not a shrinking violet!!

I don't think this is a valid argument. Showbiz, music, film, etc are littered with casualties of drugs, drink and mental illness. There's a correlation between creativity and sensitivity, and thats certainly been true in my own life, where the most creative people I've known are the ones who feel things more deeply and then struggle to cope.

Re. BB, I've long thought that the people most attracted to the show are the least well-equipped to deal with it...fragile egos, hungry for approval, etc.

For all her neediness and showiness, I do think Chloe has some real mental health issues. She seems terrified of disapproval, and with her alcoholism as another factor, I don't think she should ever have been put in there.

It's an act. A bad act.

The woman is desperate for fame, has no talent to speak of, so she's trying to create a persona interesting enough for reality tv.

Funny to watch for a bit, but I'm bored of her and the flaky faky romance already.

I have to agree with Scarlett, though, that showbiz attracts some strange individuals - them makes them even stranger. It's the craving for love and attention that drives them, with a strong dose of narcissism.

I have to say, I thought Stevie's behaviour on the couch during and after the eviction was fairly awful. He needs to end the relationship rather than continue to feed her neediness; then repel her affections over and over in a very damaging cycle.

She is really annoying me now, the way she walks with arms straight and hands stuck out, even the way she picks up things and way she plays up to camera with her stupid voices grates on me,

I don't understand the Chloe hate tbh. She seems a bit fragile yes, but there is strength there at the same time.

Plenty of people like that in the world. You don't have to be either fragile or 'strong'. To be a complicated mix is fairly normal in the circles I mix in...

I wouldn't vote her to win, but as a viewer I find her interesting to watch with her eccentricities.
