[Cynical]

I'm confused why she has so many fans. Sure, she was great on the opening night - after all, acting is her profession! But other than that, i don't think she has entertained the public at all. In fact, i find her very annoying!

I think last night she also showed a spiteful, calculating side to her personality. There was no need to carrying on like that with Andrew in the morning. Saying you scared? Do me a favour. She also said something about Andrew being desperate to win the show. She's the only one in the house who is guilty of that crime. It takes a weak person to pick on the vulnerable.

she showed her true personality last night, she won't win

[lostalex]

I agree, she's only really entertaining when BB give her something to do. Doesn't seem to be much to her personality. She seems like a nice lady, but really dull between tasks.

[Mumbles]

I expected to really dislike Natalie but I've actually found her quite amusing, aside from any tasks. She's come out with quite a few funny lines that have made me laugh.

Me too ,shes got good,dry wit

[Niamh.]

I don't dislike Natalie but she's been given an advantage by BB on 2 occasions to come across as entertaining, which I think is a bit unfair

[Marc]

I find her funny sometimes

[Ammi]

I neither like or dislike her..she tries to say all the right things..but I'm not feeling any warmth from her

[Patricia4]

I agree with you Cynical she was very nasty lastnight and she made sure all the house knew how she felt about Andrew I dont want her to win.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I have to be honest I've really liked her,up till the last few days, she is starting to really irrated me now.

I could never see the fascination. So the overeight, plain girl has a good personality. Situation normal. And to compensate for her lack of aesthetic attributes she learns to be the clown, the funny one, the approachable one, the shoulder to cry on, the down to earth one...Thing is she's not any of those things, she's just as dull and superficial as any of them, but looked more sparkly because BB has been showcasing her for some reason known only to themselves.

Sorry Chuff...

Have to agree with this.

She's made out to be the nice sweet down to earth one because she's average looking, but she's not really a nice sweet person at all imo.

I think the fact she has a personality does make her stand out from some of the other housemates though. I don't really care whether she's perceived or trying to come across as or even being portrayed as sweet or whatever, for me, she is more amusing than a lot of the others in there who have even less to say for themselves than her.

Definitely, which also lets her get away with bitching and passive agressive tactics.

Very true Cynical! ....I just dont know why she is so popular!

[Jords]

Gonna leave this thread because I know Ill just end up getting pissed off with people

[the truth]

sadly shes obviously going to win because 1) the english always vote for the english and 2) shes in eastenders which nets 10 million depserate viewers. she bores me to tears, Im not a fan at all

well she did make a career out of being overweight. So she should receive just as much criticism for her exploiting her weight as the twins get for exploiting their bodies right??

Natalie has exploited her body just as much as the Playboy twins have.

That's only fair, RIGHT???

Because compared to the other girls, she is. I brought it up because it's one of the reasons I feel she compensates by trying really hard to be one of "the girls". Personally, I don't think she's unhealthily overweight, but in her businesss, it's something that is not deemed acceptable. Also, she made a big thing a couple of years ago about starving herself silly and brought out a fitness DVD which I guess she made a few bob out of. Then she slipped back to the way she was before she was flogging us her fitness regime and went with the "I am what I am" tack. She profited from products based on her weight, I don't feel it's out of bounds to mention it.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Big Brother is so unfair & Biased giving over 50% of the tasks to 1 SINGLE housemate.
Why hasn't Romeo or the Twins had a proper task yet? (The Twins were picked by the housemates to do the running thingy). Well anyways It reminds me of BB12 when the show was to pro Alex & pro Jay.
