I think her adoptive parents probably overcompensated for the fact that she was neglected as a child, which has stunted her maturity.

Remember when she said Marcus having an Xbox was an "ick" yet her talking like a six year old and not being able to cut up her own food isn't?!!!

8 year olds know how to cut up their own food.

I'd say she's acting more like a 5 year old!.

…this exactly, Elsa’s story is obviously quite heartbreaking in the abandonment she’s felt as a child…but in balance to that, she also seems to have felt great love from her adoptive parents ….which obviously many adopted children feel through their lives but individually we process things differently…Elsa very much is displaying an infantile personality and that’s obviously a very difficult watch as well because it’s a personality disorder that and in no way a ‘quirk’ type thing…

…anyway, this is BB and environment that I don’t think is a good one for her and I honestly want her to go/for herself….no matter what the sadness of her life/which is so apparent…always a housemate behaviour has an impact on others and on fans etc…and that has to be factored equally…for me, there’s no entertainment value on any level in Elsa as a housemate…

I think the issue was the chicken being on the bone. Still quite childish but I don't think she needs her food cutting every meal

[Jessica.]

It would have been a great opportunity for her to learn how to use cutlery but she didn't bother.

…it also for me had shades of eating disorder/tendencies …a psychological thing of cut up dinners feeling smaller and less ‘daunting’ than a full plate of roast dinner…and also all of the sweet treats she bought for herself in the store/shades of binge eating possibly, I felt…a self image of ‘childlike’ can very much be displayed with eating disorder behaviour and she does speak in her voice and in her actions, very childlike…

…I know someone who suffered from anorexia and she couldn’t eat any meal unless it was cut up for her…(…unless it was a liquid meal like soup…)…and she struggled to cut it up herself because that would involve focusing on the plate of food, which she found incredibly daunting…
