Is Shievonne being herself?

[Scream]

I believe that she is genuinely quite a nice person but she never really has anything bad to say about anyone. I just think she is trying to be everyone's favourite person like Natalie Cassidy did but would really like to tell them all to grow up. I might be wrong, she might just see good in everyone but that's what I think :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She just hasnt made an impact, for some reason i cant get to know her.

[Callum]

Yes, she is being herself. Everyone seems to assume that every black Big Brother female contestant must be a bitch or an attention seeker and it's sad because Shievonne is none of those things.

[Jords]

Im not sure. Shievonne is definitely a cracking girl but I feel she holds back a lot when its clear she agrees/disagrees with something. For example the Deana/Lauren bashing.

She also didnt throw comment during ejaculation-gate, again probably to avoid getting on the wrong side of Benedict.

Whether this is to avoid nominations I do not know or whether she just doesnt want to rock the boat beacuse shes naturally a fence-sitter.

[Mrluvaluva]

I really like her. I think she's funny and quite easy going. I don't think much fazes her. I can't really see her being up for eviction in the immediate future so hopefully we will be seeing more of her.

[erinp5]

Her noms will be telling .

[Scotty07]

I like her from what I've seen, but for me she needs a great moment soon and start being more opinionated. No way can anyone agree with everyone/everything in that house.:joker: Hope she doesn't end up just being nice and safe and nothing more than a Rachel Rice type. I agree with Erinp5, nominations are more telling and helpful each week. Looking foward again to all of their reasons.

She has been the most boring so far, the only thing she has done was that impersonating task and that was on day 2 or 3. But no worries, she isn't a young male, so she doesn't get hit with the boring tag.

Sara.:sleep::sleep::sleep:

[lahaine]

She's a nice down to earth woman who maybe won't be a great Hm for TV but is a great HM for the other HM's.

[WozMan]

Maybe she just thinks the best way to deal with things is to have a quiet chat like she did with Chris after his big drunken blow-up.

Saying someone might be fake cause they don't get in other people's faces is a bit ill-considered imho. Different people have different was of handling life. I quite like hers :-)

It's not even about seeing good in everyone. To me it's about living life as effectively and happily as possible. Shoving my opinion in someone's face may be fun occaisonally but it very rarely changes anyone's mind.

People do what they are rewarded for doing, like a nice hug from mumsy aka Shievonne.

[fruit_cake]

she tries to please everyone, it grates on me. She's a passive aggressive imo

You're kidding yourself if you think the likes of Luke A and Conor have done more than Shievonne.

[Kizzy]

I like her, she has been supportive and entertaining in the house. I can see her being great in an argument ..think we will see her shine as the house gets smaller.

but this is BB, surely she's not in there just to be a nice person, they're all there to win! Anybody that comes across as a nice person is by default highly likely to be a fake imo.

It seems to me that being supportive = manipulating people so they don't vote for you. I tend only trust people whose gameplans are for the most part transparent.

[Livia]

I like Shievonne. Because she's not humping someone's leg, farting or bitching doesn't make her a bad housemate. Shame we don't get to see more of her.

[Sophiee]

I totally agree, she's going around everybody trying to act like their best friend. and she's been one of the most boring so far, I don't understand why so many people like her.
hopefully her plan will backfire on her sooner or later and she'll be put up for eviction.

Well said Livia, totally agree.

[chuff me dizzy]

No, i think she is playing the biggest game, remember how she told Chris how to stay below radar

Conor is probably about on par with her to be fair, but Luke A dominated the first two shows even though he hasn't done anything since.

[Samuel.]

I'm not one to accuse everybody of playing a game based on very little, but I do feel like she is playing one.

I remember her talking to Chris, I think after the Rebecca argument, and she told him to focus on the money/it's not worth ruining his chances of winning, or something along those lines. Maybe I read too much into it, but it seemed like a strange thing to say, unless of course her mind is firmly focused on the money herself.

Why is it perceived so bad to be focused on the money? All of the housemates must have some sort of the gameplan and would backstab each other to get a sniff at the winning prize because after all it is a gameshow.

[SoberLikeGizmo]

From the clips today she seems to be hanging around with the bitchy people to much

I disagree.

It's still a popularity contest ultimately.

[joeysteele]

I don't know now, I liked Shievonne in the first week,she was my top female in there but she has started to slip with me this last few days.

[sarakss]

I liked Shievonne the first week solely for her impressions - I think she was hilarious. As far as playing a game - she's absolutely doing that and there's no harm in that.

Shievonne's greatest asset is her personality. She's a very likeable person and she uses that to her advantage even when she's in the middle of a bitch-fest. If you notice, she's present and sometimes participates in a lot of the bitching, but she's able to walk away without blood on her hands. Why? Because she's able to express her opinions in a joking manner that does not come off as overly bitchy or mean-spirited. A good example is the conversation regarding Lauren being stingy with her cigarettes.

She said the same thing Ashleigh said but her delivery with humorous - this makes Ashleigh appear to be the bitchy one.

Also, she's able to calm people down when they get into arguments. She did this with Chris and also with Deana. When you're seen as the caring peacemaker, you're not a target.

Based on the number of HMs, she's safe for several weeks. Rather than be invisible and have people nominate her because she could be seen as boring, she's playing the role as everyone's friend. Once the main targets are gone, eyes could be on her if people see her as too nice and disingenuous.

She's a smart one.

I don't think it matters. She's being judged for the sort of person she is on Big Brother, not how she is in real life. I like her.

[alex_front2]

Yes, she is being herself. Everyone seems to assume that every black Big Brother female contestant must be a bitch or an attention seeker and it's sad because Shievonne is none of those things.

Exactly. I think alot of non black people think Charley bb8 and Alex Bb9 are what all black frmales are like. if not she is really a fake.

Black women according to many =
shouty
aggressive
confronrational
rude
lazy
stupid
jealous of white women
nasty
violent
unyeilding
surley
stroppy.

Siobhan is none of this so is questioned.

This. It amazes me the way people can't even be nice these days without being accused of having an agenda. It's like stereotyping people with blue eyes as being rude and arrogant.

[erinp5]

She was Laurens mate .Lauren and her were tight right up to Chris's eviction .

[bbfan1991]

I agree!

Everyone is at it in that house in terms of playing the game and fair play to them.

[Urban Cragou]

Exactly. The whole point of the game show is to have a chance of winning and to walk away with a considerable amount of money. How you present yourself on the show is important, seeing as you won't be judged in the nooks and crannies of your own house, which is private and no one else's business but the person involved and the person it affects (if at all).

I don't know why people can be so nosy and desperate to know the details of someone's personal life.
