Ellie only feels validated when she has male attention?

[Jessica.]

It's so depressing to watch her, especially when she is drunk. You can see the desperation in her eyes when she is around him and when she talks about Sam, she lies to all of her friends about how far she wants to go. I think she would do anything for him if he keeps giving her attention. She was the same with Lotan, she just wanted validation from him, she thinks throwing herself at men is something that gives her worth and value.

Does anyone else notice this about her? Anyone else feel very uncomfortable watching it?

Yes I do. You just want to grab her and tell her to get a grip...but it would be a waste of breath. She's so desperate to be liked...
However I think she loves playing the victim and getting the sympathy votes.

[Amy Jade]

Yes so much, she's honestly tragic.

[tb24259]

I like Ellie as a housemate but her interaction with possible love interests in there is like watching a car crash in slow motion. The girl ought to grow up and get a grip. She was crying in the diary room over Lotan after 2 days ffs. It's pathetic

She was pretty much the same on Ibiza Weekender with one of the reps. I honestly don't think she's 'fake' like some on here profess (though she might ham it up a little in the DR), I do believe she's a nice person that just wants some affection and attention. My issue is she's just a completely middle-of-the-road housemate. Like a total cliche, an archetypal winner that really brings very little to the series.

I know others think this is going to end her chance at the title but I'm beginning to think this series may well turn into a procession. I personally think this storyline will play right into her hands (though again, not deliberately) and it just makes me feel like I'm wasting my time watching tbh.

[Jessica.]

Yeah, I don't think she does it in a fake way. I think she just has a serious lack of self respect and really doesn't love herself. It's so sad to watch. She feels like she has to give herself to a man or they won't be interested. :sad: She really needs to get into therapy or something, not saying this to be mean or anything, I really think it would benefit her to have some kind of guidance.

I refuse to give her attention in the village for this reason - even if I love ellie - any romance needs a BB ban. make the game more interesting.

Didn't you find the house reaction interesting?

[Niamh.]

Yes I agree and that's why I hate that she's the one being pushed as the normal girl in there. I would hate for my daughter to grow up thinking that being dependent on a man is normal

I completely agree, she's a terrible role model and that lack of self worth is not normal at all.

People that look for Showmances normally are quite desperate people for the fame, and if they're not getting the Showmance that they want then they get even more desperate and it just starts getting obscene like Ellie where she's had two Showmances within 5 weeks.:shocked:

I'm sure that IRL that Ellie's a nice person, but BB has really played on her negative Showbiz traits imo.

[Crimson Dynamo]

She cant help being attractive to men. Normal woman, a little needy, but a normal British woman, salt of the earth

a true winner

:clap1:

Her behaviour is not normal.

Is Raph browsing TiBB in the house?

[JTM45]

salt of the earth

You spelled SCUM wrong.

Anyone who can't see Elleh for the fake she is should be extremely cautious around strangers. You're a con-artists wet dream! :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

Is Raph really Jessica?:laugh:















I'm just joking of course.

[Vanessa]

Raph called it and he was right.

[SteveG2688]

I agreed with this nomination. I get the impression she does need a bloke in her life to function. I have a few friends like it and they act the same way. She is going to be remembered as the desperate one.

[Jessica.]

I screamed when he said it. It's so true though, I feel sorry for her and I know it's valid now because Raph is around her in real life and confirms it.

[azi]

Yes Raph was 100% right about her :clap1:

[Mystic Mock]

Ellie The Destroyer Of BB18.

[SarenaW]

When Ellie and Sam are on I check Twitter or go for a pee break. :hee:

[Jase.]

Yeah, she's one of those weak, revolting women who can't be happy without a man in her life.

[fitz2k2]

I been calling her pathetic ever since Lothian situation.She def won't win the show.She will go down as the most needy/desperate housemate who 24/7 needs a man her life.

[Jessica.]

I don't think she is pathetic, I just feel really uncomfortable to watch someone with clear mental health issues being stuck in a reality show like that.

[azi]

She should listen to Chan. Her "friends" don't have her back by telling her to go for Sam. No one is liking them together.

[joeysteele]

She just comes across as really desperate in both attempts for a showmance storyline.
So desperate it consumes near all her thinking.

Awful to see and she looks really bad from it.
He's as bad though since I feel he's using her anyway, both to get in the house and continuing the charade in the house.

[Niamh.]

You think all that's genuine? No way, it's all an act, she's with Sam for a storyline, i don't think she even likes him that much. All this poor me crap is a sympathy play

[NotAWannabe]

When Ellie and Sam are on I check Twitter or go for a pee break. :hee:

I just fast forward

[Paula D]

She's a pain in the arse and she knows it.

Complete mess, has a drink problem and no self respect whatsoever.

No point in even trying to advice her because she doesn't listen to anyone.

Selfish little bitch as well.

[Adamw92]

Can you imagine how much better this series would have been if she'd gone the week Savannah went?

[Time]

Would've happily had weeks of Savannah over Elleh, she probably would have become a decent housemate after Lotan left.

Possibly. Shame it wasn't Ellie in 2nd place when the voting figures were released.

[ethanjames]

I honestly think deep down she is very insecure and has been hurt in the past so she prays for some sort of love to make up for that in a sense. sadly she is always a trainkwreck with boys
