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.”

Well said, yes Ryan also indulged in sexual behaviour with Hughie but he went out to cheers, plus his derogatory remarks about men and women and his mouthing off all the time makes him a lot nastier, disgusting person to me, but like you say because Laura's a women she gets slaughtered, what hypocrites the baying crowds are, good for Laura for putting two fingers up to them, she's not going to win anyway!

My liking for Laura soared after that. I hate it when HMs do the slimy obsequious suck up to the public thing in the hope of votes.

And yes, those booing her I would call 'horrible' She's not been unpleasant in the house to deserve it. Kudos to Hughie (whom I've otherwise gone off) for ticking off the crowd for booing as he chose her on eviction night.

Good for her! She took it much better than Sam did.

Theres been a lot of judgmental people on here (me included) but not sure people on here really care what happened at the beginning with regards her now...shes had chance to pull it back and not really done anything.

What you think? Not seen anything else on it here.”

She was directing the eff you at the ones who booed. She wasn't saying that to the viewers who didn't go to eviction nights.

Exactly. Ryan's been far nastier than Laura's been. By rights, Laura should get cheered when she leaves the house. However, because she's a beautiful woman, this might not happen. Jealousy might rear its ugly head when she leaves.

Exactly, what does she expect, she's on BB FGS!

I personally find her a bit dull and selfish but I'm not bothered about her sexual dalliances. I just prefer people who don't take themselves so seriously, are more witty and thought provoking in their opinions. She is who she is though and some people will love her. However, her being nice to everyone isn't going to change people's views beyond that one facet.

Also, if people don't like her sexual openness, then they aren't going to simply forget because a few weeks have passed, if it's an important measure to them.”

Great post, pretty much sums up how I think of her.

I didn't find it impressive or great on her part

Addressing haters adds fuel to the fire. Because it shows the haters how much it is bothering her. She says it didn't bother her but yet she went on about it a fair bit. Sometimes keeping it hush can do wonders.

oh yeah... proud!

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

that is what she does.”

BIB

My jaw almost hit the floor when she said that!

I know my parents wouldn't have been proud of me if I'd done that.

Probably why they assume Alex will win.”

Yes but this wasn't about winning people over but being disliked enough to be intensely booed. She probably got it right and it was because of her initial actions.

True, it's a real BB cliche. See also 'how could she/he do that on national TV?

That always amuses me. Like local TV, or international TV, or even the Iplayer would be OK, but national TV is a step too far

Reminds me of when FMs defending their chosen one, exclaim with utter indignation, 'who are you to judge?'

Erm...
