I'm glad they showed the recap of the 'Heaven's eating everything' bit to refresh my memory as Rebecka clearly believes in what she says. It's not pre-meditated but a spontaneous reaction to events of the moment and she believes she is in the right, even though she herself ate a biscuit when given one by Tom only moments earlier.
Not really seeing what all this 'Evil Rebecka' fuss was about, I took the time to look more closely and read her body language (I study human behaviour and it's the reason I watch Big Brother). She does genuinely believe her own version of events and this may be more down to confabulation where she unconsciously fills gaps in her memory by fabrications that she accepts as facts. The way she is adamant to Jay that she never said it like it was and also face to face with Big Brother in the diary room does show she has a set of events in her mind she thinks actually happened. However, we shouldn't confuse this with manipulation. I still don't think she's a bad person, just a confused one ... and who isn't?
BTW ... seen a few references to mental, nut-job, schizo and the like on various posts. Not nice. One in four people have mental health issues in any year so that's a fair number on this forum. Also, it could be in our families.

This is what confuses me about Hm's like Rebeckah, Bea.
When i'm being lied to i have a feeling that i'm being lied to, a "gut feeling" probably coming from an unconscious understanding of the Body Language i'm seeing along side the lie.
But with Rebeckah and Bea, i just never got the sense they were lying, obviously i knew they were because i saw the lies taking place.
This leads me to go along with the gist of your post, i.e she doesn't know she is lying so how could she tell me she is. Yet when Bea had her Eviction Interview and was confronted with her incredible lies she seemed to ignore the evidence of her own eyes and refused to admit wrong.
Acting or Confabulating
Fast forward to Rebeckah's eviction interview. i am sure BB will show her the footage we saw last night clearly showing her lie as we have seen it. At that point if as you believe she "unconsciously fills gaps in her memory by fabrications that she accepts as facts" would she not fess up as it dawns on her that she has mislead herself.
Alternatively if she does not fess up would that not show she has been fully aware of her lies? |
