I agree Jennie isn't as big as character as Ash, but then again I don't think we have seen much of her fun side and her age is against her in the character stakes. However, she does come across as a mature 18 which seems unusual compared to the 18 year olds we have had in the past shows. I still want to see her fun side, where she not worried about having someone as possibly as old as her mother in the house, i.e. Susie, who will tell her off. Although Jennie can't win, a place in the final four would be a good result for her and the show. I just hope when she comes out the house that she is over exploited by the press as that could be a big disaster for her at such a young age and cause problems in later life.

We are going to have to agree to disagree about Susie in the house. I agree very much with Foebane100 when he said "She is a lazy spoiled princess." and that she is "selfish". The only thing I would add to this is that she is controlling, manipulative and considers herself superior to the other housemates. In entertainment terms that calming influence has been a disaster to the show and stopped some of the housemates from showing all their character traits. For example, it's going to be interesting to see how Ash takes on being the top female role once Susie leaves leaves the house. Will she repeat what she did in the other house or will she do things differently. What are the young ones like without a mother figure in the house.

Susie leaving is no loss to the house. She is expendable. And her departure could kick start the show.

The thing with Ash and the crowd that gets me is that I felt early on she didn't need the love of the people outside the house. I always had the view she was a strong and knew who she was and loved herself to make it without the acceptance of the outside world. She seemed a complete person. I guess I was wrong about her or that being in the house can do strange things to you. I think changing so much for the crowd was a weakness on her part. Yes, modify your behavior but don't change completely. She didn't need to do that to the degree she did. Yes changing was as you say a smart move, but she went to far. Without Susie, however, I'm hoping she will arrive at a good compromise.

Your final question is the hardest to answer:

I don't think there really is a deserving winner as such in the house this year, but then again I don't think we have had a deserving winner for quite a while. The producers are not after deserving winners they are more after characters that will do something the house and make the show interesting. And there lies part of the problem of the show, the public vote out the characters and we are left will the dull and boring in the final week. A classic example of that was last year when Anthony won the show. A Mr Nobody who even after the show remained a Mr Noboby.

Ash wouldn't be a bad winner in that she has brought something constantly to the house. Unlike the favorite, Pete who has died away as the show has gone on. At the start of the show I would have gone for Pete. But now I not sure who to back. Like you the other housemate that comes to mind is Richard, much for the same reason as Ash, he has constantly brought something to the house week on week. As for the others, I would like to see Jennie or Glyn in the final four.

I would love know other views on this subject. I'm rather boared with x to win stuff without reasons why x should win.
