I know she has had disgraceful things said about her by Conor and it has been nice o see her overcome that. Conors days are numbered and he knows it. However I think Deana is in danger of latching on to the public sympathy that she obviously has over her treatment by Conor and Arron. She has now rounded on Shievonne (although I'm not a fan) and is now accusing Lauren etc of not sticking up for her in the arguement. As yet I have not seen any of the housemates join in and support anyone in a verbal exchange.

If she is not careful it will backfire....cos I am starting to see right through her.

[lostalex]

Personally i find her very dignified and she doesn't sink to the level of her opponents, and i think that's what has saved her thus far. She is a classy broad and i doubt that will change.

I think it's interesting for me as American to see Indians on BB, and notice how much more sophisticated they are compared to the "british" girls they argue with. I know that sounds a bit racist to say, but it is something i've noticed, i think Indian girls on this show do come accross as way more classy than the british girls they argue with.

again i'm only judging based on BB, so i'm not making any statement beyond BB, just what i've seen on BB.

Indian girls just seem so elegant to me.

Invest in a Virgin atlantic ticket to the Midlands UK for 7 days. Your opinion may change somewhat. Asian girls are never nasty or vendictive in real life. They are brought up to undermine their enemies with empathy and philosophies that date back to the Raj. Deana is a mixture of both and carries it off well.

My eldest son dated an asian girl years ago and we all thought they were going to get married. When he broke it off, she destroyed him with her tongue. He said it was like 2 different people.

theres no such thing as overplaying the victim card, remember denisse welch?

[joeysteele]

3 weeks ago, I never believed I would be saying this but I think Deana is incredible, she stands her ground and she has really upped the game since winning on friday.
Far from playing the victim,I think she is now really going at it all now with confidence.
Keep going as she is and she will have managed to create the right balance completely.

Tonight for instance with Shievonne,Shievonne was left just looking ridiculous while Deana just shone. I have to give her massive credit for that.

This.

[elliebrew]

SO SO SO SICK of the same thing every day

Its ABSOLUTE crap.....shes popular with me because she's feisty, fun, soft, kind, articulate, isn't afraid to confront issues!

I have no pity for her whatsoever only admiration for her strength

[lostalex]

I really like her too. I think this is the first season of BB that i actually agree with the general consensus lol, Usually i'm like WTF are peiple smoking? how can they like Aaron or Jay or Louise?? But this season it seems i'm on the same page as everyone else around here. It's nice

[JamesBond]

She tried to stand up for herself but Shievonne was just too aggressive. I think after the boys picking on her and now crazy hands Shievonne having a go, it has just got too much for her.

[armand.kay]

Well considering Shievonn was playing mind games with her I can understand why she questioned lauren.

Thats completely true! She was clearly trying to maipulate her and unfortuantely Deana was beliveing her!

[Jords]

She cant play a victim card if she IS a victim of being singled out. I dont think she plays up to it at all though, she cracks on and destroys anybody that has an issue with her elegance.

This. Shievonne was acting like a raving lunatic and Deana handled that situation with class and grace. I can't understand people saying she was playing the victim, she was defending herself against Shievonne, what did people expect her to do exactly?

Whilst i agree that Shievonne is having a meltdown, It was Deana that that brought it up ,Deana says Shievonne has ignored her for 3 days & hasnt told her to her face why but has Deana spoken to Shievonne about this in the 3 days? No. Deana wanted an audience so everyone can think poor Deana.

She said that after Shievonne started on her about her having nominated her though

Fair enough but Deana escalated it. They must all know by now that Shievonne has a tendancy to go off like a mentalist so why did Deana carry it on in front of everyone? Deana accused Shievonne of not coming to her & telling her what the problem was but Deana is just has bad, she didnt approach Shievonne one to one to ask if there was a problem in them 3 days, she chose to air it in front of the group.

Yeah I reckon she's peaked too early as a housemate and her being a victim is going to eventually back fire, not in a huge way but just in a way to lose her a few votes in the final. I think Adam will nick it. He's a lot less irritable than Deana is, he doesn't moan as much and doesn't have the whiny voice.

The public loves a victim clearly. Shilpa, Denise!

deana is not makeing her self a victim she has been targeted from the start and as for adam he is ok but he is a perv and all the girls dont like to hug him even tho lauren is useing him as comfort blanket .

[rinkydinkpanther]

shes done ok fair play, but she needs to do more than simply encourage others to criticize her in order that she can milk more sympathy...i do like her though, i like her naughty smile and i also agree she destroyed the awful shiv just as she destroyed arron and connor...

[wendywillow]

not much deana can do when a crazed shiev is railing at her, one of the keys with bb is to NOT lose your s*** when you get nommed, sheiv just followed arron out the door with this display

Not sure whether deana 'destroyed' shievonne. IF ANYONE DESTROYED SHIEVEONNE IT WAS HERSELF. And adam played a part in that too.
As for the 'victim' tag, deana actually said 'we are the victims here' on the show to becky. Does she see herself as the new Shilpa Shetty?? Not to say SHE wasn't victimised (far far worse than deana), but IT DIDN'T HALF HELP HER WIN AND GAIN HUGE PUBLICITY....

Deana knows what to do to win. Play the victim like Shilpa did. And it's working. The public loves a victim!

Why are you comparing Deana to Shilpa? Just because they're both Indian? Also, you don't think Shilpa was a victim of genuine bullying? Really?

I do. But she won with the sympathy vote, not because she was the best housemate.
