Right from opening night, I took a dislike to Sunshine as to me, she came across as very irritating, self obsessed, a little arrogant, spoilt, and very very attention seeking, and I just didn't believe all her talk about being so "quirky", creative, and "different".

She still irritates me slightly, but now I see her as maybe a little insecure and over compensating a bit. I found her less arrogant when her and Govan were making up with each other, and she said something along the lines of she wasn't always great at school and other things, and it was her teachers who encouraged her, how she worked hard for everything,and said she was definitely not a victim, and would hate to be seen as one.

She's not one of my faves as I still think she's a bit annoying and self obsessed and seems to just revolve a lot of conversations back to herself,but there was a moment I saw her in a new light, and took a bit of a liking to her:
When Corin was pretending she may be pregnant, Sunshine seemed so happy that one of the girls had chosen to confide in her, she became extremely mature, professional, caring, and understanding,advising Corin to tell BB not to air this conversation as it was a medical issue, and most importantly of all, she did not betray Corin's trust- infact the 2 seem to have become quite close. All this earned her a lot of brownie points from me.
I don't find her nasty at at all, and I've come to realise there are people in that house that irritate me a hell of a lot more!

She doesn't fit in with a few of those girls at all, as they think they are all so bloody cool, and see her as just a dork that is any easy target.
The thing with the crisps last night really fckin annoyed me. Whether or not you think she should have shared the crisps or not, the way some of the girls handled the situation was out of line.

After Sunshine told Caoimhe that she could have one of her pizzas, but that she wanted to save her crisps, Caoimhe went straight to the table full of people declaring loudly that "Sunshine won't share her crisps, because she wants to save them for a rainy day" in a bitchy tone. When Sunshine followed her and defended herself, Caoimhe used her usual pathetic get out clause "I'm only messin", she's so fcking rubbish when actually confronted on what she says.

The girls continued to go on and on and on about it in the garden with Josie getting plenty of snipes in too, but everytime she says something bitchy, she instantly tries to cover it up with suddenly being nice/understanding again.
At one point Caoimhe, Shabby, and Ife were at the smoking area and Caoimhe actually suggested going into Sunshine's drawer and just stealing the crisps, to which Ife replied "no, no, no you can't do that", it then cut to a break or else to the other housemates-can't remember.

I might have missed something, but to my knowledge the only girl who didn't get involved in "Crispgate" was Corin.

I really dislike Shabby a lot, but I don't dislike everything about her.
Caoimhe on the other hand, I absolutely cannot stand! Every day I dislike her more and more. She is displaying absolutely zero personality of her own, all she does is go around all day long with her tongue wedged far up shabby's arse, doing/saying anything to impress and please her. All she seems to do and say is giggle for no particular reason,nod and agree profusely, or else say "yeah I know", or "I'm only messin" if called on anything.

Ife gave her some great advice in the bathroom last night, about speaking to whoever she wants to speak to, and not to be paranoid about being seen as a floater, just to be herself-maybe if she follows said advice I might grow to like her, but tbh I think she is too intimidated of Shabby.
I can see a huge argument happening in the future between Shabby and Caoimhe though, if Shabby thinks she is losing control of her "best bud".

I never took an instant like to Josie like the majority of people seemed to, I just kind of find her a bit so-so. I like her some of the time, but I say I probably dislike her more times than I like her.
Corin is my fave girl.

Don't have very strong opinions on any of the boys really. Ben started of as my favourite, but at times I do find him very whiney and weak, and a little 2 faced. However he gets away with this by me, because I find him absolutely hilarious and he's still one of my faves.

Find Mario, and Dave a little dull but fiercely loyal, and thay can be quite funny at times.

JJ-confuses me the most, find him a bit complicated to figure out. He can be an absolute prick, but may have a softer, vulnerable side-just can't make my mind up fully on him, although I reckon if I was living there with him, we'd probably get along fine most of the time, but I would have regular blazing rows with him.

Nathan just reminds me of regular blokes I know in real life.

Steve seems the most grounded, emotionally mature, and easy to get along with, I would probably get quite close to him if living in that house.

Sorry for very long post, had to vent.
What are your opinions on the housemates and their actions so far?

Sounds just like an irrational prejudice then based on stereotypes. There's plenty of nice things about her that people ignore because they want to. So I didn't bother reading what you said about the others.

Well if you had bothered, you would see that although she's not one of my favourites, and I still find her a bit annoying, I have actually grown to like her more and see qualities about her that I do like, and that some of my opinions on her have actually changed.

It's a gameshow, I'm allowed have opinions on the housemates and for those opinions to change.
Why bother responding without having read the post?

I read some of it, but those who just go by initial impressions (ie what Endemol promote the HMs as) I find hard to trust the judgement of. Not surprisingly you say Corin is your favourite glancing down the post, a HM who has shown nothing at all but is given alot of promotion by Endemol.

Josie and Steve were everybody's favourites at the start. I never took a strong liking to Josie at all, found Steve dull but think If I was living there would probably get along with him the easiest.

My favourite at the very very start was Ben, who got nothing but boos coming in.

I think Mario is nice enough, but he has never been my favourite, even though everyone else was raving about how great he was during the mole task.

I didn't have strong opinions on either JJ or Rachael, but did think he went overboard with his treatment of her, making her cry 2 nights in a row, even though a lot of people seemed to be applauding his actions.

I said Corin was my favourite girl, not my favourite housemate.
I don't believe she has shown "nothing at all",
she is my favorite girl because imo she has shown herself to have a very caring and kind personality.
The housemates go to her to be comforted when they are feeling down. Like JJ, Govan, and even last night Shabby was in the bathroom saying "Corin I feel really down"
She tries her best to remain upbeat most of the time, always listens to other people, is nice to Sunshine when the others aren't being.
She really appreciates being there in the house, and doesn't sit around moaning all the time, she gets into the spirit of things and didn't tell any1 about her Tree of Temp task, and kindly gave Rachael her case when she could have got her own. I find her amusing,and a friendly nice girl.
Of course all of my opinions could change on her in the future, but at the minute that is why she is my favourite girl there.

My favourite housemate? I can't make up my mind. Corin I like for all the above reasons, Ben makes me laugh my ass off, Ife I really really like at times, and am just waiting for her personality to appear a bit more so she's less quiet.

My opinions on the housemates change all the time throughout the series. Imo they are people competing in a gameshow, which I watch for entertainment purposes. I only judge on what I see and form opinions on it. Not saying my opinions are necessary right or wrong, just posting what I think.
