She is a very smart person lets not get fooled by the "dumb blonde" act. She is playing for sympathy and the viewers are falling for it,even I was initially until the last few shows. Lets get her out!

[Blue Cadillac]

Ohhh yes. Playing an exceptionally good game, and will undoubtedly win, too.

I don't, because most of her sadness has been taken to bed, and hidden away.

[Vanessa]

No, not at all. She's very genuine.

She knows how to play the game and her ace which she has used is when she mentions transgende

Thank goodness Courtney played along and pretended to take them!!

No. I think she's lived a very sheltered life and is very naive. She's not malicious. She gets her point across without calling people names etc. I think her parents have kept her child-like and that shows through. She's out of her comfort zone, quite possibly deluded in some respects, but I think a bit of a confidence boost and encouragement could help her.

Hmmm......but I still don't think she's entertaining.

I think she's more entertaining than many in there. Her antics, her songs, the way she does things with the belief that she's doing something great when in fact not (hair etc) actually make me laugh. She is surely more entertaining than some of the others?

I don't find any of them particularly entertaining, but I don't find her funny at all, to be honest.

Ahh well. It would be a sh.it world if we all liked the same things.

It's not funny!!! You have absolutely no sense of humour...

I think she got about a bit when she was the famous child prodigy, apparently he/ James was on Oprah so had gone to America, being famous as a child surely must widen your horizons a bit?

I think you are (perhaps)being sucked in by the whole pretence, if you saw her on the this morning clip arguing with the doctor about him using the word transgender you would not think she was so vulnerable and delicate.

I have previously seen it thanks and have made my own mind up about things before posting.

You never saw her on BOTS then partnered up with Pete Burns doing the fashion reviews?

Exactly !

She had no problem judging other people then and making bitchy comments about their looks etc.

But God forbid anyone dares to judge HER - or make comments about HER appearance -

If they do then they MUST be transphobic !

Talk about double standards.

She is one of those people who can dish it out but can't take it back. And has no qualms playing the 'transphobic' card when people are at odds with her.

I personally think she does more harm than good for Transgenders by being so hypocritical and so quick to unfairly accuse others of prejudice.

Unlike Luke A who has done a huge amount of good for the profile of Transgenders - simply by being a fair and decent person.

In all his clashes with Luke S - he never once resorted to calling him Transphobic ! Nor would he. He is realistic, honest and played it fair.

Luke A deserved his win for being such a good person. Lauren resorts to cheap shots when she clashes with people and therefore in my mind, is not deserving of such a win.

No, I haven't. My comments are based on what I have seen of her of course. Although I know Pete is a sarcastic bitchy queen so I can imagine what he was like. -goes to try and find footage-

should anything happen to her parents I think Lauren would be lost. I hope out of this show she does manage to find some friends and a bit of happiness.

..I agree with you, she seems to struggle around people and maybe she prefers to just be around one person which could be another reason why she seems to 'cling' to Courtney..she's someone I didn't expect to like as she's had such a 'bitchy persona' on BBOTS, but I think that's just her 'job' and not who she really is, I think this is the first time we're seeing who she really is and she is almost like a child sometimes...

Lauren was a big part of BB 2 years ago...giving her opinion of the housemates as a regular guest. She was very opinionated....hardly a character who lives a solitary life with her mum dad and 2 brothers plus cats and has no part in the outside world. She is a sad person who has found it hard to fit in in everyday life...but then has made herself well known for being an eccentric. Now she is trying to win with the sympathy factor and it doesnt wash with me.

Yeah, I am aware of those facts. I know of some of her other TV work, and some of her life stories. I can recall seeing her as the child prodigy on Wogan and the ensuing media fuss, and some of the progression through her life. I think she has been somewhat smothered by her parents and has had an unusual upbringing which has contributed to her eccentricity. I am not sure about her trying to win sympathy from people though. I think that's just the way she is.

Her whole family was scathed by Keith Allen when he did a no-holds barred interview with her and her family.

[joeysteele]

She irritated me loads in the highlights tonight and I hope more for her sake than anything else that she is out soon.
She is either way too fragile to be in there emotionally or simply way out of her depth. Whatever it is she is now far from entertaining.
