Orlaith in the DR? Crocodile tears, or do we think she will walk if not ousted on Friday?

I don't think she would walk, she needs the press coverage and exposure that an eviction would bring.

her crying is really bad. she is nearly as rubbish as pat butcher and deidre barlow. actually she's worse at it. i'm not fooled for a nano second.

Crocodile Tears

Gotta hope.

In comparison to Makosi, what is she like?

she was gen i think and who could blame her with the bitching between kamel and mokosi

She had openly said that she won't quit but wants to leave. I don't actually think that winning is important to her. She has achieved what she went in for - media attention - and now wants her few minutes with Davina and air time on BBLB to send her on her way.

OP, just a quick aside as you know Eugene, what did you think of his comment tonight about the fight? Out of character I would have thought? I was very disappointed in him.

Slim, blonde....

makosi can squeeze a few tears out though, she just needs to brush up on the acting lessons. orlaith couldn't even get a walk on part in crossroads.

i'd rather see the crocodile tears than the tweaking of the nipples.

Oh, right, Orlaith is the blonde one.

Thanks.

Eugene's cool about things like that. He would not be "shocked" at a fight, he would look worried about it at the time and stand awkwardly, but he would then laugh about it after and not take it seriously (as long as nobody got hurt.... note the word "small" before fight)

While everyone else would be like "oh my god, I can't believe" Eugene would be "did you see the look on his face as he threw the bin? It was very amusing!"

I'm convinced that Orlaith and Makosi are both aiming for the sympathy vote (or non-vote, I suppose) in anticipation of being up for eviction this week. Without wanting to be insensitive, I don't think their more recent blubs have been completely genuine.

If they do end up facing the public vote, I personally wouldn't be surprised if we see an increase in blubs both inside and outside of the Diary Room.

Thanks for that (and sorry to hijack your thread ).

I am worried that Eugene will get brainwashed into bullying and that would undermine my faith in the literati!

orla and makosi are blubbing 'orrible.

i thought she was genuine actually .

Certainly much better than Makosi's hideous wailing.

That's ok. Eugene won't be brainwashed.

I've only ever known Eugene to HATE one person ever, and with good reason! The rest of the time he will talk about people, but will usually give both sides of an argument.

The comment about the fight was most likely to be more about Eugene wanting something "interesting" to happen. Sitting about bitching all day is not a Eugene thing! Maybe a Punch and Judy task should be forthcoming!

what i wanna know is where the term crocodile tears came from

Probably from that 'Crocodile hunter' program with Steve 'totally insanely crazy man' Irvin.

right i know this from junior school but i'm 40 now so a bit senile and forgetful. crocodiles lubricate or something by producing tears, so they are not tears as such, not emotional ones. i think it's that but not sure.

I think it's something to do with crocodiles looking like they are not in good shape, and then eating u, just to prove they are ok after all

I think they were real. She heard the boos on friday when her name was called out, and has realised she has no chance of winning, so she may as well leave now before it get worse.
If I had had a shit day like that, whether it was deserved or not, I may have had a few tears.
