View Full Version : Ali drives me up the wall... That exchange with Khaled last night was maddening

Her constant ascribing motives or reasons of her own invention to the guy is beyond irritating.

"attacking him for no reason, it's not fair"... 100% agree. Well done Marcello for standing in a house full of whining 'neutrals'.

She is being an utter asshole and from behind a shield of fake virtue and fake superiority. Her constant lecturing and berating this guy on how she thinks he must act in order to satisfy her expectations is so annoying.

Honestly, Ali has so many deep issues that she needs to work out. Physician, heal thyself.

Well done Khaled for handling her so well, because it isn't easy to deal with someone that has the ability to stay stone cold calm in an argument about personality traits.

I have to agree. I find myself going off quite a few people that I initially liked. Ali, I think she's interesting but I don't like the way she went off on Khaled.
Lily, still a great housemate but with questionable hygiene habits.

Well. Love her or dislike her, she's unquestionably a good housemate and should stay. She's got everyone talking.

Much preferable to me over the house invisibles that are Thomas and Segun. Snoozeville.

Segun is a flat out bore. How did he get chosen as a housemate? It's beyond my comprehension.

Ali has peaked, she has now resorted to cartwheels and bogey talk to entertain us viewers.

There was nothing entertaining about her argument, she just said something then ran away from what she said.

The show does NOT need Ali to remain for entertainment value because there is nothing entertaining about her, or the way she voices her opinion.

If you think you are going to be entertained if she stays, I think you are wrong.

While I do dislike Invisibles snoozing by, I won't reward her behaviour in there because I do dislike her and her type that much.

This kind of misandrist sociopath manipulator thing she has going on isn't good telly for me.

She'll be getting all my votes to evict.

:clap1: Excellent post .

Also she keeps repeating how much she " has nothing against him/ still likes him", who is she trying to convince? :idc: . She clearly does DISLIKE him....and might aswell just own it.

She's always trying to read other people's actions & behaviour, maybe another psychologist should study her ...see how she likes it .

…you may be correct, Glenn…but I think atm, the dynamic with Ali and Khaled is dominating the focus of highlights too much that the house characters will emerge much more to see a better balance if one of them goes…and obviously, in expressing a wish to go…?…Ali herself doesn’t seem to feel happy in her environment so not going to thrive…her character is just going to feel stifled, I fear …so I feel I want her to go for her own self but also to be able to see them other housemates in general without having that Khaled/Ali highlight time as dominant…

Is Khaled's behavior even a big deal or is she just upset her game backfired? She got cocky, thought she could manipulate others without getting caught, gets caught and is now pretending she has some reason, morals, principles, etc, some anything to avoid personal responsibility.

It's not even like Khaled held that much sway in the house that we could tell. We barely noticed him... for some reason she's picked Khaled as a hill worth dying on (he's not..), and the longer she stays on that hill, the more damage she receives.

I guess she really does perceive him as someone capable of exposing her and she really does not want him there, seeing as clearly he's someone she will not be able to control... I think her accusations and concern trolling over fakery were attempts to do that, to expand her influence over the house, and it failed horrifically.

I really wanted to like Ali, I thought she would be a good housemate in the beginning but her targeting of Khaled has not done her any favours. She seems quite manipulative and seems to think that she is a better judge of character than anyone else because of what she does for a living. Every little thing Khaled does she is twisting and manipulating and I just find it quite strange. He has handled it really well though considering how hard she has been trying to ostracise him and turn others against him.

Yeah, I think she thought she was going to be able to use her psychology jargon to gaslight the rest of the HM's against him, when that didn't happen it seemed to annoy her, especially with Khaled being voted HoH and Ali being nominated for eviction. Her plan didn't work at all.

There shouldn't be an autism card, Lebanon card, etc. If she criticised Khaled on his own merits rather than whatever powergames she perceives people could be playing in life, she wouldn't have painted such a big target on her back. It also advertises to everyone there just how easily it could have been one of them. None of them are safe from her "assessments".

Hanah nominated her for fixating on her character qualities. (That was telling.) Yet she still tried to console her in private, give her a pep talk (on live feed) and encourage her to take a different route. Is Hanah now fake because she didn't tell her then and there how Ali makes her actually feel?

I wonder how different the house dynamic would be if she had left. Would people who normally wouldn't be able to have conversations finally feel they can have them without someone hyper-scrutinizing? I took Hanah trying to encourage Ali to chill herself out as helping herself also, as it doesn't seem like it is very comfortable there atm. We have seen very little of Hanah standing out and I wonder if this is why because Ali is that person who needs to step in to allegedly defend people (she is hurting them more than helping) and tends to treat them like puzzle pieces in the process rather than letting them just get on with it themselves...

I don’t agree with how she’s put it across but I don’t disagree with her points about him.

Ali's accusation is that he isn't being him and that he very treats people differently than how he actually feels, but no basis for that is given other than it *can* be perceived this way. I think that way of analyzing others, sadly, can apply to any one of the HMs at any given moment.

Hanah didn't say anything behind her back to others in the house and neither has Khaled, but they are both required to nominate. Both are very nice people from what we can tell but only one of them has had the misfortune of falling on the bad side of Ali.

I think it's because Khaled won't let her in to tinker with him emotionally and he knows better than to feed her and that gives her nothing to work with. That apparently drives her insane. She knows she can't use that and fair play, he had her figured out early on. That makes him a potential threat to Ali. Hanah and the other people there have fed into her complex and haven't really left her radar. I think that is why I think someone like her would be OK, even if it is unclear atm where her support is, but not Khaled...

This perception that Khalid is fake is puzzling to me, because I don’t think Ali or anyone on here who agrees with her have given any specific examples of WHY they think so.
I mean, to come to the firm conclusion that he is, there would have to be strong instances of this fakeness other than ‘he’s being too nice’, given the very definate beliefs being expressed of his fakeness.

But maybe he IS just nice, or maybe he is naturally a people pleaser, or maybe he is the sort of person who takes quite a while to let himself relax and feel comfortable with strangers. I think most people would agree that none of those things would qualify as deserving of the singling out treatment he is getting from Ali - for the other HM’s (apart from her chum Lily) have never expressed such sentiments about him.
So is it “ Ali says so, and she’s a professional, so it must be true” or if not, then what specific actions point to him being a ‘fake’ - standing out way over and above any of the other HM’s? :conf:

Not to stereotype gender roles,but I wonder aswell if Ali automatically sees the girls as more in touch with their emotions than the boys ,who she sees as just 'lad lads lads'. Meaning she unfairly judges them. Even Dean was harshly pre judging the boys.

But even so , she's still picked Khaled out and singled him out above the rest.

So she sees Hannah and most the girls as 'more open' . I wonder if she expected Khaled to sit down in a 1 to 1 therapy session and pour his heart out with tears and cuddling cushions ,as they hold hands and get more in touch with their feelings :rolleyes: .

Her paranoia of him is very weird , especially after just 1 week aswell.

People with ADHD often have very strong moral convictions, and feel a strong need to uphold them. This can make them very quick to judge others who they perceive as behaving unfairly or unjustly

Ali's accusation is that he isn't being him and that he very treats people differently than how he actually feels, but no basis for that is given other than it *can* be perceived this way. I think that way of analyzing others, sadly, can apply to any one of the HMs at any given moment.

Hanah didn't say anything behind her back to others in the house and neither has Khaled, but they are both required to nominate. Both are very nice people from what we can tell but only one of them has had the misfortune of falling on the bad side of Ali.

I think it's because Khaled won't let her in to tinker with him emotionally and he knows better than to feed her and that gives her nothing to work with. That apparently drives her insane. She knows she can't use that and fair play, he had her figured out early on. That makes him a potential threat to Ali. Hanah and the other people there have fed into her complex and haven't really left her radar. I think that is why I think someone like her would be OK, even if it is unclear atm where her support is, but not Khaled...

But then that’s just your opinion of him, I can absolutely see why Ali would think that he’s putting on a facade because he does constantly look like he’s trying to say the right or nicest thing and maybe that’s just him but it feels incredibly false and I don’t see how that’s not a valid reason in anyone’s eyes because he literally comes in saying these impassioned speeches (like when he won HoH) for no reason so he doesn’t rock the boat.

Obviously people aren’t always gonna get on with everyone they meet but there’s a very clear difference in how different people speak in the house to Khaled and they manage to come across without any scrutiny and it’s because they don’t always try to be the good guy like he does.

"well I just think so") when out of the two of them Ali has clearly been the fakest. Every time Khaled has raised her issue with him face to face she has said "I don't dislike you, I actually like you" etc when that clearly is not true. You don't have to pretend to like him just because you realise you might be coming across as too mean.

But her reason isn’t just “I just think so”. She literally sat him down and said it’s the way he always feels like he has to appease others by making impassioned speeches for nothing. She’s not wrong, every time he speaks it feels like he’s thinking of what he should say to look good instead of just being an actual human and saying what he really feels, it’s fake.

Ali took a dislike to him for what he said to Hannah…and her only reason for calling him fake is because he came up to check on those who didn’t get an invite to the party…she found his thoughtfulness fake. Neither Ali or Lily have given a reason behind their accusations…so had anything happened that we had not seen they failed to mention it…

Her constant ascribing motives or reasons of her own invention to the guy is beyond irritating.

"attacking him for no reason, it's not fair"... 100% agree. Well done Marcello for standing in a house full of whining 'neutrals'.

She is being an utter asshole and from behind a shield of fake virtue and fake superiority. Her constant lecturing and berating this guy on how she thinks he must act in order to satisfy her expectations is so annoying.

Honestly, Ali has so many deep issues that she needs to work out. Physician, heal thyself.

Well done Khaled for handling her so well, because it isn't easy to deal with someone that has the ability to stay stone cold calm in an argument about personality traits.

totally agree she has a degree and thinks she is an expert and trying to read people.

Khaled wants to move on ,but Ali won't rest until she succeeds in her mission to sabotage Khaled / get him evicted. No doubt she'll love it next week,and he'll likely be up for eviction.

A Reddit comment pointed out something I'd missed entirely and it made me look back for the episode. Ali had actually quizzed Hanah & Nathan about who they thought was genuine pretty much after the incident with Khaled. She was checking for their response but didn't ever give hers that we know of because it wasn't shown... So that seed in the form of a question was planted very shortly after their disagreement. The comment reminded me she had asked Lily and Lily of course had said Khaled then, that was the second time it was asked, and that's when Ali jumped out to say she agreed. But when she'd initially asked the question, Nathan had said Sarah & Daze... she didn't answer Yes or No to Sarah but played it off like "Really????!" (sneaky...), but was immediately coming to the defense of Daze. Then it was asked again another time to another group with Lily present and Ali didn't state her choice, but Lily came out and said Khaled.... and then of course, that's when Ali took ownership and said "Yes, I agree". So that's interesting how she had just used Lily twice to say the quiet part out loud. I didn't notice this progression at all, but that appears to make it preemptive.

This adds more evidence to the suggestion she's trying to play a Feminist game. In both cases, it's two black women that are involved that need "protecting". She's tailoring her answers not to show who she doesn't trust, but rather who she is supportive of. Hanah, by virtue of taking a stance against Khaled. Daze, by virtue of disagreeing with Nathan. So that would make her stance against Khaled make more sense if that were true. Then when she confronted Khaled, she had the references she had crafted in the quizzing of others to say "Well, other people agree so..." ...

Anyway, now I never will look at that type of question without taping up one of my eyebrows since as apparently that question is not without a motive. It's a good way to start sh** without actually appearing to be asking something innocuous. I'd not remembered it until now for that reason.

If you want to rewatch the first incident, it was Episode 5 near the end where they are all sitting on the beds after the party on the stage. It's interesting she asks Nathan specifically with Hanah present... was she hoping he'd say it out loud and a moment could be crafted from that?... It wasn't until Izaaz confronted her specifically after a "vibe" had been happening that finally she was like "Yes! My opportunity..."... and she looked very happy to have that opportunity. That was not a difficult decision for her.

She was checking for their response but didn't ever give hers that we know of because it wasn't shown... So that seed in the form of a question was planted very shortly after their disagreement. The comment reminded me she had asked Lily and Lily of course had said Khaled then, that was the second time it was asked, and that's when Ali jumped out to say she agreed. But when she'd initially asked the question, Nathan had said Sarah & Daze... she didn't answer Yes or No to Sarah but played it off like "Really????!" (sneaky...), but was immediately coming to the defense of Daze. Then it was asked again another time to another group with Lily present and Ali didn't state her choice, but Lily came out and said Khaled.... and then of course, that's when Ali took ownership and said "Yes, I agree". So that's interesting how she had just used Lily twice to say the quiet part out loud. I didn't notice this progression at all, but that appears to make it preemptive.

This adds more evidence to the suggestion she's trying to play a Feminist game. In both cases, it's two black women that are involved that need "protecting". She's tailoring her answers not to show who she doesn't trust, but rather who she is supportive of. Hanah, by virtue of taking a stance against Khaled. Daze, by virtue of disagreeing with Nathan. So that would make her stance against Khaled make more sense if that were true. Then when she confronted Khaled, she had the references she had crafted in the quizzing of others to say "Well, other people agree so..." ...

Anyway, now I never will look at that type of question without taping up one of my eyebrows since as apparently that question is not without a motive. It's a good way to start sh** without actually appearing to be asking something innocuous. I'd not remembered it until now for that reason.

If you want to rewatch the first incident, it was Episode 5 near the end where they are all sitting on the beds after the party on the stage. It's interesting she asks Nathan specifically with Hanah present... was she hoping he'd say it out loud and a moment could be crafted from that?... It wasn't until Izaaz confronted her specifically after a "vibe" had been happening that finally she was like "Yes! My opportunity..."... and she looked very happy to have that opportunity. That was not a difficult decision for her.

excellent take
