Deana seems pragmatic (does not mean cold/fake/mean) and quite admirably has the ability to look back at her emotional responses, analyse them in context and learn from them. If she's getting that upset about a letter, is that comparable to a reaction to illness, work/financial stressors, or bereavements in the outside world? Probably not. So she rationalises through her experiences and lays it to rest with her mantra "don't be silly!". Brilliant.
People like Ashleigh, Caroline and Becky, however, have the introspection of plankton yet Deana is questioned. Adam and Luke A are still my favourites but if Deana won, I'd be chuffed for her.
