After all the drama....didnt seem that bothered in the end..... or was she just winding Ashleigh up???

[Jords]

Are you coming to the conclusion because she didnt cry?

I bet youd say she was being a dramatic cow if she did... hmmm... cant win

[joeysteele]

I think that's Deana for you, after all she turned the tears on in the toilet and was close to tears in the diary room too when she didn't get it, then after getting it she said she wasn't bothered about it and then went on to say she goes to India for 6 months at a time anyway so wasn't bothered as to getting it as she is used to being away.
A great attitude that in my opinion.

[armand.kay]

I like Deana but her letter was ****ing weird! It may of been a code ()

[sampvt]

She wanted everyone to think she wanted it for the victim vote and when they gave her it early, she just decided it was done and its hey ho lets see whats next. She knows she is safe this week so she will cool down a bit and safe the dramatics for next week.

No I am just saying that in the bedroom she told Ashleigh that she didnt know why she got so upset....'it was just a letter from my mum'...or similar words. Ijust found that a little extrodinary considering Ashleighs guilt and want to put it right (even though I am no Ashleigh fan).... Dont get so defensive it was an observation that seemed to be a strange reaction after she had shown the heartbreak of not getting her letter....it was almost a little ungrateful.

You should change the record....stop being obstinatly defensive and try and give a sensible account of her actions or dont bother. I am just trying to discuss what I thought was odd behaviour after her being obviously upset yesterday at being the only one to not hear from her family.

[Jords]

People should stop being 'obstinatly' at poking conspiracies Deana's way and criticising everything she does.

Also I always give good accounts ty, but lately the threads have gotten boring so its just more fun to joke along with what they have to say

This .

I would be over the moon to get a letter from Mum, I would never say it was 'just' a letter from my Mother,shows a selfish piece of work for sure and not a very respectful one either.

[Kizzy]

Initially she was very upset, she cried thought about it, talked about it and and felt better. Not sure whats wrong with that..
There was no amature dramatics, stomping or wringing of hands.
She is a private person who does not wear her heart on her sleeve, its not obligatory to dissolve into tears at everything.
Unlike most she is very aware of how she acts in the house, which in the main is because se does not want to disrespect her mother.

[Petershaw1984]

Her letter did seem less emotianal than the others. Wonder why

Very ungrateful, in my view, I am no fan of Deana that is true but for me it was her selfishness that came through most.
Getting the letter though,removed at a stroke the ability to remain the sidelined one as to the letters from home, I am just glad BB nipped that in the bud quickly and she got the letter so soon rather than days or a week later like someone had to wait for theirs last year.

As you say, words like it was just a letter from my Mum really was extraordinary. I would never say oh it's just a letter from my Mum to anyone ,even if she wrote to me every week.
I would actually be eagerly looking forward to it and looking for it too if I knew it was coming.

Deana seems pragmatic (does not mean cold/fake/mean) and quite admirably has the ability to look back at her emotional responses, analyse them in context and learn from them. If she's getting that upset about a letter, is that comparable to a reaction to illness, work/financial stressors, or bereavements in the outside world? Probably not. So she rationalises through her experiences and lays it to rest with her mantra "don't be silly!". Brilliant.
People like Ashleigh, Caroline and Becky, however, have the introspection of plankton yet Deana is questioned. Adam and Luke A are still my favourites but if Deana won, I'd be chuffed for her.

Because they are normal as opposed to the rest who were overly emotional and OTT

[BJ]

Deana has said before that when she's down her mother tells her to lift herself up but there are never kisses and cuddles. Perhaps Deana is not used to showing emotion publicly and perhaps doesn't want other HMs to see her vunerable side. We all deal with things in our own way. She had her private cry in the toilet and it was probably partly as she had been left out. By the time the letter came she had released her emotions and I think they were all expecting it to be her letter from home so it was no surprise.

[MrWong]

Deana didn't cry.

Right, lets bash her for it.

[smeagol]

The letter was quite funny and happy isnt really going to make you cry. the others letters were more soppy. and anyway the moment had passed .
cry shes putting it on. doesn't cry she's a bitch lol cant win

Who said it was a conspiracy??? you are way off the point. The forum is for discussion. Just because she is one of your favorites....unlike you some people dont see Deana as being all that much. If you dont like negative comments about her dont reply or read them....just join in with the positive ones... I consider my point a genuine one.

I didnt coment on 'crying'....I commented on what she said. Why dont you Deana lovers read the thread before over-reacting.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Caroline was worse.
I wouldn't care at all if I got a letter at all from my family, Some people just aren't close to their families.
