Have always admired her strength in facing the insider muppets, but have also maintained that I wouldn't want to go for a pint with her as she would get on my nerves. The very same aloofness that helped her brush off verbal assaults from others makes her lack, as Adam very tactfully put it, compassion. She is fully aware that had she been the one to have lost 50k, others would have taken the proverbial pee, and thus feels little remorse/hesitation about doing the same to Luke S who clearly compensates for his fragile ego with, as Luke A would say, "his big rock-hard Spartan body". This isn't necessarily being mean and is definitely not bullying. It is Deana treating others as she would expect to be treated. I like her less than Luke A and Adam, but all in all, I suppose I like her all the same, and a lot more than any of the others.
