Okay, I think we've more or less established that she spends far too much time around Shabby to the point where it has affected her relationship with the other housemates, not to mention the viewers. But on balance, don't you think the likes of Imogen and Sophie/Dogface got away with far worse?

For all of Caoimhe's poor choice of friends, she doesn't harbour any ill will towards her housemate rivals and doesn't allow house politics to get in the way of her friendship with Mario. Caoimhe has simply bonded well with Shabby and it has no doubt contributed to her feelings towards Ben and co. I can understand accusations of her lack of independent thought and group mentality, but I guess I am all for consistency. This is nothing new in Big Brother and at least Caoimhe has the excuse of actually being Shabby's closest friend in the house. What about all of the other housemates who chose not to nominate Shabby and turn a blind eye to her childishness even though they would have had very little to lose in doing so?
