Default My take on Ife's character.

A very insecure woman.

She needs constant reassurance and validation of her 'good character', and manipulates the conversation to get it. She cannot talk succinctly or with any real conviction, hence her rambling dialogues and wordy speeches when only a simple sentence will do.

Her conversation right now with Mario and Nathan is very telling. Some of what she speaks is pretty sensible, but she ALWAYS has to turn it back to herself, constantly referring to what she has been through, using her life as a paragon of experience to look up to, as she doesnt get the validation she needs from the people around her.

It is clear she tries very hard to be self aware, but still lacks the ability to see in herself what she condemns in others. She just spoke briefly to Nathan about trying to catch Mario out (he has been picking on the physical insecurities of others apparently) but is this the action of a friend? To catch him doing something wrong just so she can jump on it and show it up for all to see? Wouldnt that be a little mean and embarrassing, and dare I say it, cringey?

For her to be the person she tries to portray, all her actions have to come from a sincere place, and I dont think they do. They're just words, but said without any depth, and therefore, empty.

I dont think it even comes down to intelligence, she just doesnt have any depth.....have you noticed how no one really listens to her?

Other people speak, like Nathan or Josie, and people react, answer them straight away. In a group situation thought Ife constantly repeats herself, and no one seems to respond..

yes i think you're right.. nobody has any real interest in anything she says, i guess its because she's got no conviction or something

she needs to be introduced to herself!

Funny you should say that...have you been listening to the LF too?

Maybe she'll wake up tomorrow just like Lauren Hill did and have to reintroduce herself to everyone

She is just a shallow attention seeker needing constant reassurance that she is a "Good" person when most viewers can see right through her machinations.

I just think that it's because nobody else in the house shares her personality as a dancer (etc) so she just doesn't fit in. And that's why she seems insecure.
