In hindsight after all this time,... I was thinking!
I read somewhere that Sophia had actually cottoned on to what Lisa was all about from day one. Quite an achievement when the rest of the house hadn't know each other well at that point, but some things did spring to mind.
If Saffia hadn't wakied and was still there, it's obvious she would've been part of Team Lisa. When she had to pick someone for a task to become officail housemates, she picked Charlie without a second thought cos she had already got to know him a little. This got to Sophia big time, which eventually led to her eviction.
If Sophia was still there, she would be pally with Marcus and co, same with Cairon, and Cairon was the only one that could put Sree in his place.
However, Sophia and Cairon were too hotheaded and were subsequently evicted.
Lisa's gameplan was in motion from day one. She was obviously sussing out the players, trying to find the strongest teammates for her side, plus other she could control. When Lisa became the 3rd official housemate, after answering a phonecall, she was allowed to pick someone to be the fourth. She had 15mins to decide.
She picked,..... Kris! Recruiting already!
Ensuring his loyalty, and he being one of the stronger players, would strengthen her influence of the house. As it goes on Kris got Sophie, and through Sophie, Karly.... and Charlie was buds with Charlie who was friends with Saffia, but she left.
Now that Kris has left, the link between Lisa and Sophie is sort of severed in that territorial terms. Karly is still a link between, but since Kris's departure, Sophie is not smothered, but Lisa is trying to guard her from the influence of the rest of the housemates, cos Sophie is easily influenced and slightly niave. However,.. Sophie [Dogface] is also a nice girl. She is not a plotter, but just happens to be friends with Lisa, Karly & Charlie [Nothing wrong with that], and friends often think alike.
Lisa is using them to get herself to the top, and win the game. I think the person who would be let down the most will be Karly, but she won't be wise enough to ever see it, cos she actually considers her a friend, and friends stick together.
In the beginning,.. Sophie was pals with Freddie as they entered the Diary Room together [hand in hand] to become official housemates 8 & 9, by changing their names to Dogface and Halfwit legally.
Karly was also nice to him in the beginning. The Lisa stepped in. This was noticable on Sophia's eviction night. She made it known to the others that nobody puts her in her place, which in turn lays a hint of fear that others should not cross her, that's why Charlie, Karly and Sophie will never challenge her, but Sophie can break away cos she's getting bored with just their company, and Rodrigo was right to say to Sophie that she doesn't have to stick to one group. She can be friends with everybody.
Isn't it great that the one person oblivious to the whole team gameplan bravado was the one that actually got the message across to Sophie better the others ever could because with the others there would always be a hint of suspicion. But Lisa is still there poisoning her minions minds. They tried to recruit Rodrigo, but it didn't work. Rodrigo is his own man's man. He likes to be friends with everyone, not be part of an exclusive collective.
