Whilst obviously i'm a big supporter of Aisleyne, Richard, Jayne and other bigger personalities in the house (specifically after Nikki's eviction last week) I have still grown a bit of a soft spot for Big Brother's own Golden Girl.

I have slated Imogen in the past for just being dull: Richard's comments about her never fail to make me laugh. She contributes nothing, suns herself, and sits around smiling, giggling and joining in with the odd bit of bitching (but slips under the radar tending to let the others do more of the talking)

And granted, Susie is by all accounts quite 'dull' in comparisson to some of the more vibrant, entertaining housemates we have seen. But I believe Susie to be very genuine. She isn't comfortable in some of the more bitchy comments made by other housemates, and will say so; telling Richard, perhaps her closest friend in the house, when she feels he's out of line. She is crucial to the running of the house and yet remains very unappreciated; Glyn for example will nominate her for being controlling in the kitchen and being bossy, yet she perhaps does more for the other housemates in terms of cleaning and cooking and such like than any other. She's not lazy like Imogen, she pulls her wait, and whilst she may not participate in all the housemates sexual or immature games she still has a very positive outlook and tries to remain upbeat whilst the other housemates moan and groan.

Yes there was a lot of debate about whether it was rigged for her to get into the house, having been through the audition process, and yes as we know she has acolourful past and is obviously a glamourous woman whose very proud of her achievements and just perhaps wants to show herself off. I believe that even if her husband paid a lot for her golden ticket, she has matched the idea of the Kit Kat campaign; for a seemingly normal person to go into the Big Brother house. I think she's quite refreshing in the house, and whilst granted she doesn't deserve to win, I hope she gets something out of the experience and I really hope she isn't ill recieved from the public simply because she isn't the brash, loud, spontaneous personality of others.

I think we all know Susies in our life, and those people are lovely to have when we want to have a chat about things or just enjoy some quiet conversation! So I salute you Susie (and your tea!). And never did I think i'd be saying that!

She's a crap HM but would make a good home help.

Well I think the house needs someone normal and nice just to restore a bit of normality. There's millions of women like Susie, housewives and such like that wants everything done a certain way and take great pleasure sitting down for a natter with a cup of tea!

Having read Grace Dent's article, I think she has it just right - Glyn and Mikey should think who puts the food on their table before moaning about her.

I quite like her level-headedness in the face of chaos. Whereas every other housemate would have shrieked and been incapable of handling the concept of rations, she stayed calm and devised a plan even before she'd managed to have a cuppa to get her brain working

And amazingly, despite the fact that she's not the most thrilling housemate every, she still manages to be more interesting than Imogen.

And Imogen cooks and cleans like...oh wait a second, that involves contributing to the house in some way! Silly me

I'm hoping more people are starting to warm to Susie, obviously I know she'll never do better than 4th place obscurity but I would actually much rather she was in the final than most of the housemates!

I agree, but then I'm more Susie's age! Glynn and Mikey are a couple of immature lads who probably feel like they've been put in the house with their mum! If it wasn't for Susie, the food would all have been scoffed by now and they'd be starving! I think greedy Glynn especially has shown himself in a very bad light these past few days.

Most definitely. A typical teenager who takes everything for granted and has everything done for him at home without showing much appreciation (sorry to generalise!). Granted he's on Big Brother to have some fun with people closer to his own age, and perhaps find some independence. Yet he has been completely sheltered and has little real life skills. Susie was right about making break being a one person job and he only showed interested for 10 minutes anyway. I'm really not liking Glyn much at all - I thought the walking task and his reward was hilarious!

I agree with all the positive things being said about Susie, but this is BB
not an afternoon tea and biscuits programme for women, and I find the most of what she says very boring.
I am not interested in how often she conditions her hair, or the function of her digestive tract, or indeed anything else about her body, which seems to be her only subject of conversation.

She is a very pleasant woman, with good manners, and is reasonably competant in the kitchen, but for FFS she is doing nothing to liven up the house.
In fact IMO she has poured a dampener on the whole dynamics of the house, and I wish she had gone last week.

She has achieved her aim in life, which was to get on BB, with the help of a wealthy husband, and when she leaves, I am sure, with the help of Max Clifford (her agent) she will get the TV presenters job and the fame that she craves.

The sooner she goes the better, then perhaps things will liven up a bit.

I really don't think you can accuse Susie of putting a dampener on the house,

Imogen has moped around, moaning, crying, sunning herself complaining about having no motivation to do anything

Susie has remained positive, and is coping a lot better under difficult circumstances than the others. Sure she may have someone boring 'hosuewives' tales to say but its harder for her to connect to people on a deeper level, so she's just trying her best to make conversation

I never thought I'd say it, but Susie's becoming a favourite of mine.

People may not agree, but suddenly there's an air of Jon Tickle about her. She used to fade too much into the background, but now she seems to have gained a confidence in the role in the house and has risen to prominence.

Now she's still boring, but she's visibly boring other HM's, and that's always one of my absolute favourite things to watch on BB. The look of discomfort on other HM's faces when Susie talks to them or when she dictates to them in her soft maternal manner is absolute subtle comedy gold.

I just hope the producers include some more of that in the editing of the show from now on. Basically they need to show HM's for what they are, so if Susie's boring, show her being boring and I'll be happy.

Absolutely, I've noted the parallels with Jon Tickle too. I mean come on, he became one of the biggest big brother legends out of being essentially boring with his anecdotes and Jonisms.

Susie is going along the same route. Some of her quaint little irrelevant outbursts make me smile, and I do find it quite funny seeing some of the other housemates listening to her or respond when she tries to make conversations. Bless her.

She certainly is gaining in confidence as the more prominent characters are shown the door,

I think when Jayne goes i'll definitely rank her as one of my top 4!

I love Susie, she's great.

She's a classy, well-mannered polite lady who doesn't behave like she's a clone of Vicky Pollard e.g. Jayne, Grace, Lisa and Nikki.

I also admire the way she handled the whole water-throwing incident with Grace. If it were anyone else e.g. Lisa they would have gone mental and probably beat the living daylights out of Grace. But no, not Susie, she handled it like a true lady. I think she's quality. I wish more people on society were like her. I hope she makes it till the final week.

I agree.

She's the exact opposite of Jayne and it's good to see that manners still exist

Exactly, that's why I like her so much.

I find some of the housemates attitudes ridiculous. Lea claiming she evil and manipulative - when all Susie did was comfort her and have the odd chat with her listening along to Lea's moans. Glyn claiming she tries to make people like her by making tea - i'm sorry am I the only one who likes drinking tea and will always ask others in the house if they want one when I do? Manners and politeness seem unheard of qualities - Susie is of course the biggest game player in there! She can't just be a genuinely nice, caring, shy person? That's not allowed!

And I completely agree with the post about her behavior when it came to Grace, she really kept her composure there. If it's an act we're yet to see her mask slip. I'm glad others are starting to see the good in Susie!

She sets an example to us all. If the house was full of Leas I would have switched off long ago.

And I have to say, whilst I know she's had some done, she really does show the likes of Lea how to have surgery done tastefully - she's an elegant and very beautiful middle aged woman!

Dad watched it for the first time the other day - he said 'I thought the one with the big breasts got voted out' when he saw her in her bikini top! She'd be horrified to be compared to her!

I loved the way she said to Richard today, I get up early and have a cup of tea anda biscuit and it is bliss! I wonder if she will get a tea advert. there is nothing horrid about Susie.

It's the little stuff she says just like that, that makes me like her so much.

Most definitely, Tetley better be watching!

Alex got Domestos, so I think Suzie should definitely be given a starring role in a tea commercial! She'd suit the part perfectly!

We should start campaigning!

Yes, great idea. Someone should get a campaign going.

Definitely, The Sun read up on here sometimes - be great if they picked up on it! We should all start emailing someone at Tetley or Twinings (perhaps more classier!) telling them of our recommendation.

Susie is certainly much more well recieved that most!

She is a crafty little minx..she keeps stashing stuff for her self..cant take to susie at all..i probs got as much as susie but i'm not a snob...

I like Susie too, but not to the extent that I want her to win. I like her because she doesn't pretend to be something that she's not, and she's a genuinely nice person.

Yes mate, I agree Twinings would be more up her street and she'd be following in the footsteps of Stephen Fry!!! (another great celeb).

Get e-mailling now mate.
