she's been a better housemate than rachel already, but I'd hate for her to win based on sympathy votes.

You're in no position to judge by looking at your past fav housemates:

BB2: Paul

BB4: Jon

BB5: Stuart

BB8: Tracey

BB10: Siavash

BB13: Adam

Deana has been a brilliant housemate and i dont understand why people think shes dull. It pisses me off aswell when people say shes going for the sympathy vote when she has been standing her ground and telling housemates exactly how she feels.

The reason i like her is because shes honest, feisty and an actual nice person.

if deana is boring then i have no sence of humour lol
some of the funniest moments lately involve her. what do the others do they just sit around bitchin while the outsiders deana and her subjects lol are outside having a laugh

if lauren wins is it cause the sympathy vote cause shes been bullied since day 1 as well
if luke a wins is it cause of the sympathy vote cause his op and cause his not liked in there by the bullies
if adam wins is it cause of the sympathy vote cause his a ex con and a outsider with lauren d and l
if ash wins is it cause of the sympathy vote cause luke s is using her
beck coz shes fat. caroline cause shes dim . conor cause he hasnt threatened anyone lately and so on.

you have to ask for sympathy deana has never asked she is the only one in there to stand up risk being hated to say what she thinks thats not asking no one for nothing.

So true.

Rachel actually said she 'NEVER' felt bullied by Rex, so your accusation is wrong dude :p

Erm no, Deana is a much better housemate than Rachel, infact Deana is probably the biggest character still in the show right now.

How is it sympathy vote? That's not the reason I like her at all.

Exactly. Deana haters are so misinformed and delusional.

I loved Deana well before the Conor incident happened. I love her because she's classy and dignified, she's not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself, and she's actually very funny.

Well maybe it's just me (although surely it isn't) but judging her as a person I feel quite sorry for her a lot of the time, clearly she's misunderstood by a lot of the housemates, Conor's not the nicest person in the world to her and she can be outcasted by the house at certain times, and she's been through stages where she doesn't know who she can trust/feels like she doesn't have any friends. And then there was the whole 'bullying' thing. I've definitely felt sorry for her and I assumed so has everyone else.

Honestly I still can't understand the support, it's over two weeks since I've been back now and she still seems as irrelevant as she was before I went away (and I really can't remember anyone liking her that much back then...so surely the whole 'bullying' thing has had some sort of effect?). She had her moments during the weeks I was away but in the last couple of weeks she's been quiet again and to me, hasn't really contributed much at all. I just can't fathom the support at all, it's so odd, maybe I have fallen completely out of the loop and still not gotten back into things properly yet and that's why but seriously, I just don't get it.

Stop blaming the producers for the situation the house is in. People that are over the top and act out early on always end up annoying HMs and get put up. That's not BB's fault. The people who are gone are because of how they acted. That's how it always plays out.

Deana has been a lot more entertaining then Rachel Rice was. Deana has actually done some entertaining stuff in the house. Rachel was almost non-existent on a lot of the nights.

I find it harder to figure out the support for Lauren she is so much weaker than Deana, maybe people don't like strong female characters, their loss I guess.

No because Deana's the most entertaining one in there where as Rachel Rice was one of the most dullest of her year.

And also who are you classing as more entertaining than Deana? Conor? Luke S? Ashleigh? Sara? or Scott?

Some members on here are quite dull, they dont seem to have much to say other than the same thing over and over :whistle:

Read this thread and then tell me which of those housemates ended up winning? whats that none? well there you go :xyxwave:

P.s Im glad a piss you off :joker:

I'm sure Deana will probably say she never felt bulled by Conor Yet the public will still be like :O OMG she must win because of conors actions

Do you honestly think Rachel would have won without Rex?:thumbs:

Siavash was entertaining though, he done way more than Sophie could dream of doing in that year.

:spin:

She's not the worst and not the best. Just about sums her up.

I think you have fallen out of the loop.

Obviously people feeling bad for Deana is a factor into her popularity, but it's certainly not the main reason. The way Deana has handled everything has been what has made her so popular. There are a lot of sheep and two faced people in the house. Deana is one of the only people in there who truly matches to the beat of her own drum and isn't afraid to be herself or speak her mind.

The way she's handled confrontations with Conor, Arron, Lydia, etc is what makes her so great. She's never backed down, she's stood up for herself in every situation. A prime example is when Conor/Luke S tried to stitch her up and accuse her of being a gold digger by asking a question and expecting a particular answer, Deana knew exactly what they were doing and confronted them. She is very, very smart and very aware. And - when she straight up told Luke S that his relationship was fake and disgusting, that was another great moment for Deana. Most other housemates would backtrack and deny it to avoid confrontation. Deana takes confrontation head on. And at the same time, she still maintains class and dignity and ALWAYS comes out looking the best.

She is also a very fun and funny person, which unfortunately isn't shown on the highlights a lot, but you can see it from numerous of the YT uploaded clips.

To me, it's very clear to see why Deana is so popular. She's one through the biggest journey this series and has been the talking point of 80% of the storylines in the house. You can't deny her role in this series as being a massive one.

And Deana is the only one who stands up to the Insiders.

Luke A and Adam bitch about the Insiders but wouldn't dare say it to their face.
Lauren bitches about them yet still tries to be their friend.
Scott and Becky and total sheep and Sara is scared of confrontation with them.

Fantastic post :love:

See from what I've seen it's Conor, Arron and whoever else has had a problem with her that have made her role a large one, she was pretty much invisible before that from what I remember. Yeah, all what you said is fine, it's good that she stands her ground and isn't afraid to join in with confrontation, you know me, I like that, but she doesn't seem to cause enough of it, other people instigate it themselves, and she doesn't create any storylines herself either, again people do it for her. From what I can see other than the odd moment here and there, she doesn't contribute as much as everyone seems to make out. Of course she comes off looking better in practically 99% of all the arguments she's had, but as vile as Arron and Conor were, they were the ones that stirred all the sh*t up and gave us all talking points, not Deana - she wouldn't have done that on her own without their help.

I guess her being popular doesn't surprise me, the nice, 'safe' ones always are, the thing that's confused me the most I guess is the widespread support from people whom usually wouldn't support housemates like her, I find it baffling and I think that's why I put it down to none other than sympathy and as you said yourself, supporting how she's 'handled everything'. I think it was Jords that promised I'd like her in that thread I made, so I was expecting a lot and she really hasn't produced it for me. I've tried to like her (and I do as a person) but I just can't, and the support does baffle me.

Isnt BB all about the social interactions????? I dont think anybody would be interesting in the house for 10 weeks on there own.

i no its been said - but if deana wins - i call that justice - and correction - nothing dull about this lady.

Why does she need to be the one to instigate it though? The fact that she rubs so many people the wrong way for some reason already makes her a great housemate. And to be fair, she has instigated drama in several occassions such as the confrontation with Luke S and the confrontation with Shievonne. Have you watch every episode of this series you missed or are you still catching up?

I don't get why you refer to her as the 'nice' and 'safe' housemate when she really isn't. If she was so nice and safe, people in the house wouldn't be having such a problem with her.

You say she hasn't created any story lines for herself and other people have created them for her, but you can say that for any housemate. They all create storylines for each other through their social interactions. I mean, Noirin for example was one of the biggest characters in BB10 but you could also say that other housemates created storylines for he by confessing their love to her, etc. You could say all of Lauren's story lines are created for her as well by people not liking her. Those are just 2 random examples, but you could say the same for many, many housemates but that doesn't make them any less of a housemate.
