I'm afraid that she's blowing it big time.
She's just a wild cannon and appears to be doing everything possible to actually get herself nominated.
I don't know why people call her 'sly'. That's bordering on ridiculous, as she's standing out in front of everybody and is on everybody's nomination radar.
A REAL sly person would be keeping their head down and wouldn't get noticed by anybody. Sylvia is way out there getting involved in drama and conflicts. I fail to see how that is seen to be 'sly' in comparison to most other housemates in there.
Rex telling Sylvia that her boyfriend won't be happy with her going into the bath with Stuart?.....That's REAL sly. He knows that the public are listening to that moralistic pearl of wisdom. It's literally inviting the public to pick up on it so that when she's up for eviction he's given them an idea as to why to vote her out.
But anyway, I think she's ballsed it all up in the most colossal way. We know that she's almost 100% guaranteed to be nominated and be put up for eviction by most of the house now don't we? She may even get more noms than Alex did. And that next week she's pretty much as good as evicted isn't she?
Even right now on the live feed, Darnell is voicing doubts to Dale about Sylvia. Speaking of her being a loose cannon, and her contradictory actions regarding her having a boyfriend being important how she behaves with one person but not with another one.
I've always had some positive things to say about her before, and I certainly think she's better than many of them in there. But I do think that she's basically screwed now and has made some absolutely diabolical decisions regarding her continuation in this series.
And it is mostly her own behaviour right at the moment which is providing the other housemates with the ammuniation to nominate her.
She's really got to compose herself and look around and be self aware, and recognise how much she's standing out as nomination meat in comparision to all the other housemates.
It'll be a bloody miracle if she isn't up for eviction.
I want her to continue and do well, but it's impossible if she's just going to do silly stuff without actually considering the consequences of it on herself.
Sly? Not really. I think she hasn't really got a good understanding about how this game actually works and it's as though she's doing the very opposite of what she should do in order to survive.
I think that the 'sly' label probably only ever came about due to an accidental typo and people just wanted her to fit into a convenient pigeonhole. I mean, SLYvia...how clever people must feel to post that. You've just got to try to find ways to make the person fit to a 'witty' label.
It's actually evident that Stuart has been made aware of outside influences, as he referred to Sylvia giving him a 'sly' look at one point. I've got a feeling that her involvement with Stuart is going to seriously go tits up for her very soon.
It's as though she just dived straight in there without considering that he won't be some innocent fool who knows jack shit, he's also going into the game and could be potentially dangerous. Sylvia just didn't seem to recognise the potential dangers here and just blundered straight in there thinking she'd 'won' a prize or something.
