It wasn't a great move but it's also a side of Laura that I like. She's not the most intellectual person but she's not daft, she knows that her dalliances with Marco won't have gone down (no pun intended) well with a section of the audience but (like him actually) her DGAF attitude to it is quite refreshing on BB.

Not for them the pseudo romance 'I love him/her' after 3 days nonsense that we get from countless other BB bunk ups. They treated it like the 'I was horny' situation that countless other young people do on holidays and nights out every day. Not on national TV though tut tut! Heaven forbid that young people behave like that where we can see them and judge them. Of course she also knows that women are judged especially harshly for this hedonistic behaviour and TBH she was just lucky that Marco had even more reasons for people to dislike or else she'd have been long gone.

I don't think that Laura is the most interesting housemate but I still like her and think that she's a nice person. She's just annoyed at the booing as if she were a 'villain' when really she hasn't done anything particularly nasty to anyone deserve it.

Big Brother's Laura Carter says ''f*** you'' to viewers - yes the same people that decide who's evicted (clip in the article )

I've been waiting for years for someone to tell the eviction mob where to go, so good on Laura for doing it.

If she'd said nothing, she'd still get boo's anyway. At least now she can justify them being louder than before because of that diary room entry.

It's a defence mechanism.

I doubt she gives a rats bollock at this stage. I don't think there's any part of her that thinks she might win. If anything I'd imagine she's a hundred percent certain she's going out next time she's up.

A lot of people can't get past the fact that she enjoys sex. If it was a male they wouldn't be judged so harshly. It's like people can't see past her sexuality. My brother just calls her a slag cos it's an easy label to put on a woman once she acts like some men do.

Most people enjoy sex. Most people wouldn't do it on national television, though. There was a male involved and he was also judged harshly.

She seemed to GAF last night, harping on about the booing.

she says her parents will be proud of her...

proud of her shagging some bloke she met on tv in the first week...
oh yeah... proud!

she is desperate for a reality tv career, and that means sex on tv for her...

that is what she does.

of course it is.
she tells herself what she wants to believe
she keeps saying it
and it becomes a norm not a stigma

once you get past a stigma you can break any morals, believe in anything as right...
you can take an old lady of all her savings just as much as you can kick a cat... it is all a state of mind... and if no one says its wrong, and you say its right, it is right.

I agree with Laura on her rant, but i really am getting sick of the housemates constantly dissecting and over thinking what the crowd 'reactions' are. They rarely represent the public, and its the views of generally a bunch of morons, I mean who seriously wants to spend their evening in a mob chanting 'who r ya', its not the same experience it was many years ago.
I think the housemates should not be allowed to hear the crowd until they are evicted. Its getting boring now their obsessing every Friday night.

I thought it was hilarious. It is the sort of thing I would do if a bunch of people who don't know me personally took the time out of their lives to come to a live eviction just to boo me

So true 😒

I agree with every word she said.

Ryan got cheers

I've always been on the fence about her but your post is very thought-provoking and has made me think more about how she has handled herself. Thank you 😊

I thought she definitely let herself down in the early weeks though, not because I object to her sexual openness, but because she chose to do it with Marco ☹️

I agree

'Great British public' is a cliched phrase that annoys me as well, it was really annoying when Emma Willis brought that in with her address to the house a few years back.

He was judged harshly, but not necessarily because of that. Marco gave a whole other host of reasons for people to hate him; dominating conversation, being sexually crass towards Emma, generally being a spoilt brat. Whereas Laura hasn't really done anything else to justify the level of abuse she gets, she has even repented about doing anything with Marco.

Emma doesn't seem to mind meeting up with Marco outside the house.

I think his arrogance about being the son of a famous chef didn't help him at all. Plus the remarks of the money he has.

I was a bit taken aback when she said she knows her parents will be proud of her.

I know 100% that if I had behaved like that on national television my parents would be mortified.

Wouldn't most parents be?

They should all have realised by now that the crowd have no real bearing on popularity. In the Ch4 days you could tell who was going by the crowd reaction. It was never wrong. Since moving to CH5 however, the crowd consistently get it wrong.

Or, she's just annoyed and frustrated that she's being booed when she's done nothing nasty to deserve it. I'm not a fan of booing anyway, regardless but I can at least understand it if a housemate has been particularly horrible, unkind to other housemates or said really horrible thing or maybe has really prejudiced views. Booing can even on the odd occasion be quite good- especially if the housemate plays up their villainous image, those rare times it then it becomes conspiratorial between the crowd and HM, part of the BB fun

However, Laura hasn't hurt anyone, comparing her to a thief or an animal abuser is daft. She hasn't stolen or kicked anything. She hasn't even said quarter as many nasty, derogatory things as for example Ryan did about others.

Some people may not like what they've seen of her, may not like the way she behaves, looks, speaks or a thousand other reasons but her morals are her own to keep.

Laura's being booed for engaging in consensual sexual behaviour, something which Ryan also indulged in whilst on BB, but of course she's a woman so.... Anyway, I get why she's annoyed with the crowd.

Yes, I think that was her way of telling her parents what she expects them to say in public.

She may also not be familiar with BB and the light hearted booing. A lot of them said at the beginning they'd never watched before (as it was simply a job via their agents) so not being true BB fans means she might assume the crowd are only calling them out for their bad behaviour?

Aargh, the voice of reason, at last! Well said muggins, you are so right in everything you say, the baying mob, which really are pathetic, the fact that Laura is up front and honest and not frightened to express her thoughts and like Jayne has said she is amazing at all the tasks and gives them 100%. I really don't think she deserved the worst of the boos on Friday night considering she was up against Ryan and Sam! Plus I think she has been one of the better housemates, not screaming and shouting to get air time or manipulating or game playing.

In fact I think Laura is one of the few housemates that is quite normal, yes she has made mistakes and she knows that but she is definitely not a bad person. I think that the 3 women left in the house are quite ballsy and I would like to see them all in the final but I don't think it will happen sadly because as usual the ladies always get the raw deal whatever they do!
