I realize this is going to go over like a lead balloon in the land of Deana worship, but there's a valid point made earlier. Deana has never gone head to head against a popular HM ala Luke A vs Lauren. Her only one was Lydia. At that point in time, Lydia was despised, but she was still polling strong ahead of Deana, right up until the epilator rant aired.

She also wasn't an outsider until the last month. Had she gone up 1v1 against Luke A or Adam in those earlier weeks, or Lauren in the middle, there's no guarantee she would've won.

People can't brag about the in your face moment of Deana coming top of the votes against insiders at the bottom, without also conceding she was up against easy outs.
