Stealing Ben's trademark thread title

How are you finding Emily now we're a week into her becoming a housemate? I saw so much hate for her both on launch night, once she'd been evicted and when she went back in but I'm really liking her so far. Not afraid to speak out but also very open to other people's ideas and views. She was one of the only ones who wanted to continue with the airplane task and has generally been pretty fun and energetic in what can otherwise be quite a flat house. I also respected that she was basically the only one backing Cameron in the discussion last night and seemed to realise that Jenny's comments were a bit unfair.

She seems quite well liked so far so I'm hoping she'll avoid nomination next week. Give it a bit more time and I think she'll build up quite a lot of popularity but as it stands she'd probably struggle in an eviction

So far I have been really liking her

She was my next one today.

I can’t say I’ve much of an opinion on her. She’s blended into the background. She’s done this for one of three reasons;

1. She’s playing safe for now to avoid being nominated as an easy target, being she’s a “new-housemate”.

Or

2. She’s really worried about being evicted again after the shambles of the first one, so she’s not allowing herself to get into deep to show her self to the public

Or

3. She’s just quite quiet and wallpaper.


I can’t quite get work out which one it is.

She's alright but not really contributing much. Aside from the playing up for the airline task (that everyone seemed to be doing at a 10/10 non-stop... which was insufferable ) I haven't really noticed her saying or doing anything. At the moment her role seems to be supporting cast to the Caroline Show.

She and farida are quickly dissolving into the background

Well said have to agree

................better than expected but not yet a fans favourite.....................still! she's achieved a greater thrill/day ratio than most HM's

Probably a bit of a combination of all three. I'm sure she is slightly playing it safe, is a bit nervous about another prompt exit and is actually quieter in real life than she might portray in a VT or on social media. I think we'll start seeing a lot more of her soon though especially if she's safe this week

…Emily seems nice enough as a person/I haven’t found anything not to like…but I also don’t have a huge opinion of her which maybe isn’t a good thing for a late arrival, especially…?…

[Molly biggles]

She had hate for one reason and one reason only, because she said she was a conservative.

From the same group of people who are quick to tell people they shouldn't judge or discriminate and go on about inclusion.

The type of people that still voted for feyisola.

She seems decent and up for a laugh, we will see how she progresses. I think we could potentially see a clash between her and Jenny aswell at some point

…off topic but a little bit on topic, I guess that I just can’t really understand why any political leaning stuff would even enter into a bio/personal identity descriptive…the whole thing that anyone would think to include something like that would seem provocative in some way …anyway, it’s a revolving circle of ‘judgement’ in my opinion …this group of people judging/that group of people judging and round and round we go with the left foot in and the right foot in…which is what BB is, a show of us all being judgemental…but so much more interesting for me when it was about house dynamics of throwing people together that would never have linked in their every day lives…

…anyway, just Sunday morning musings because we don’t seem to get the depth of characters and quirkiness that we used to…(…other than a few rare birds…)…so they give us politics instead, as if there isn’t enough of that divide already…

Yeah I do agree either that, no need for her to have that in her introduction. Wonder if it was her idea or the producers to put it in.

Unfortunately quirky people are much less these days. A lot of people are just influenced robots

[MTVN]

In fairness politics is actually Emily's life and career so it's always going to be a big part of her identity. George on the other hand was just latching onto contentious topics to be provocative. I think Emily would easily hold her own in any political debate but wouldn't go out of her way to bring it up in an everyday situation

…yeah, I mean…who of us would actually define ourselves by who we might vote for in terms of political party or of having met/know a specific politician…it’s just such an odd thing to in any way define…but on things like social media, it’s a very high up there in how users define so it’s very ‘aimed and targeted’, isn’t it…and for me that’s not something I like to see just because if housemates are chosen for and are going to be chosen to fulfil political leaning quotas etc…then that’s the vein of the conversations/dialogue etc that are going to be commonplace in the house…and for me, that detracts from so much of the ‘unique factor’ that BB used to represent…political divide, I can get that any time any place, anywhere type thing…

[Vicky.]

Alright but a bit dull so far

…the long and the short of it/views on Emily……


…Vicky, my hero……

[Benjamin]

I do reckon though, if she was up for eviction this week she’d go. I can’t see many voting to save her yet.

[Katmieow]

She's rather dull I forgot she was in there to be honest.

[Ray.]

I think she seems rather sweet in her support of Cameron. Beyond that, I do think she's got more to give and that her decisions while in the secret house hint at a very crafty and clever side. But for the moment she's playing it very safe and acting like a bit of a wallflower.

[Adamw92]

I feel like she wouldn’t be the way she is if she hadn’t of been evicted on the first night.
