You are looking at this in purely black and white terms. She may have been unfairly targeted in the first week and bitchy mobs have a tendency to hate people for their good qualities and independence of thought, but she has erred quite a lot too. Sunshine has a tendency to be argumentative and abrasive at times and has taken Ben's actions and blown themout of proportion on more than one occasion. She misread the house so badly, that she wound up with no less than nine nominations in week 1.
