I'd class this as veering into entitlement territory. It's often a euphemism for saying that a housemate deserves it more than others do.

It doesn't occur to her that perhaps maybe many people didn't vote for him for the very reason he wanted it so much. Because if a housemate appears to be desperate and wants it too much it can manifest itself as trying too hard and playing for the cameras. Which isn't necessarily a good look.

That's the problem with these spoilt, idiot reality stars. They think they deserve some sort of preferential treatment because they get pissed and make a mess. The public are meant to find there behaviour hilarious and people who don't are branded bores and shouldn't be there

Absolutely this. These are people who think they have a god given right to be famous despite having no talent and being as charismatic as heroes. Their entitlement factor is off the scale and they expect to win just by turning up

Indeed. And she said as much in the diary room. She was cross that those who deserved to be in there had gone while those who didn't deserve to were eating pasta.

Lewis is self-absorbed and deluded, I don't think he was even in the running for the top 3, nowhere near likeable enough.

What like 50 and a half year old Sam Fox and her saying she is the nation's sweetheart and how we all call her our Sam? and how all her fans children are now her fans etc. And how the entitlement to win is seeping out of her every pore. That kind of youthful arrogance?

Yes, as they are next lot, who believe they have FANS, trouble is, it easier to be a 'fan' now, and all you have to do is press a few keys on a keyboard and press the 'like' button every now and again.......before you know it your head (boobs or biceps) are to big for your Louboutins and Versace.....

But you said the arrogance of YOUTH. Sam Fox is many things, but she definitely isn't YOUTH.

Depends how old the speaker is. To a centenarian she is a spring chicken.

Think flower 2 was saying any youth can have arrogance, just not many are encouraged by the media or Twitter followers and likes

He's been in the bottom 3 more or less after week one! only Grant was lower!

He would have gone at any point on a couple eviction!

He had a lucky escape when Saira left as did Chloe!

Choe hit the bottom almost level with him so escaped again!

He was set to go the week Heavy went because at that time Heavy had been quite popular !

Then Heavy lost it by his behaviour and plummeted level with Lewis

Then after actually outstation his welcome he eventually went !

Lewis seems incredibly self absorbed - it's all about him. He also has a strong sense of entitlement. Maybe mummy spoiled him when he was a kid.

This seems true though I think it's based on insecurity .

And he feels the world and everyone he encounters wants a lecture on how HE thinks they should change in order to be accepted and acceptable .
Because he has achieved so much in his life

I'm still puzzled as to how he thought gratuitous shows of his manhood would make him popular or fits in with all this.

Unless he was focussed on impressing Marnie : but why parade like that ?
