If you were in the same position, wouldn't you get a bit of an ego.

Even though the house hated you at first and you were constantly up for eviction, the public never evicted you. The the public vote for you to have special treatment and see what everyone else is doing. Then you come out, and people start being nice to you. You get in a love triangle, and she chooses you over the person she was best friends with.
That has to inflate the ego a little bit!
