If she is smart, she will have sussed out that she has to get her 'true' personality across to the viewers in the diary room, in which case, yes, I believe the crying might well have been part of a bid for sympathy. I'm not sure yet whether she is clued up enough to have figured out that a winning performance in the DR is essential in case the most-noms strategy doesn't work.

I'm thinking this thing about getting most nominations is for this one only, sure for the next week they will have some other tricks to play on her. One thing i can see big brother doing though is forbidding her to tell them about her task even after the nominations have been made.

I agree - and probably after the first eviction too, assuming Makosi is still there.

That's a totally inappropriate argument. Are you therefore suggesting that those people who are incapable of working due to illness should be left without money because "hey life isn't fair", or bullies in schools should be left to get away with it on the basis that "life isn't fair"?

I think she will remain the unlucky contestant for her entire stay. In the short term it is extremely advantageous to her. Look how much screentime she has had. Look at all the potential drama can could erupt around her and her secret tasks. I would be delighted to be in her position were i in the house. I don't think i have even heard some of the others speak. They will just fade into the background.

Isn't this "unlucky" thing supposed to last 4 weeks? I don't like it because it unbalances the show, giving too much focus on one housemate (for good or ill).
