She cannot stand the fact that some do not like her in there and obviously there is a clique but she has had nomination chats like all the other housemates about people who they would put in the firing line.

Her victim routine is not washing with me and I don't even like Caroline and co's clique.

I am hating this victim thing.

It's funny though, because it was all girls (and gay Scott) who nominated her

[smeagol]

she is a victim though as she has done nothing wrong

im sure given the choice she would be havin a laugh in there instead but it isnt thta kind of bb there are posionious snakes about

[bbfan1991]

Why is this girl so desperate for Sara and Ashleigh to like her? They obviously don't and choose not to hang around with her but Lauren cannot let it drop, she should get over it and focus on those who she gets on with e.g. Adam, Luke A etc.

[LemonJam]

100% agree. She does the same as the other girls but because she plays this victim role people are seeming to side with her.

Yeah and what annoys me is that Deana has less friends in that house and she doesn't keep crying over the fact that some people do not like her.

I think that some of the behaviour towards Dean e.g. the hiding of her chocolate is much worse than people bitching about Lauren because you will always get bitching in BB but stealing other peoples belongings is spiteful and disrespectful.

[Jords]

She is a victim of unfair judgement. The girls decided they wouldnt like her....... maybe because she finds it so easy to talk to the boys or just out of spit.......

I cant see any view siding with Sara/Ashleigh. Lauren just wants to know WHY instead of this fake 'oh I did like you but then sum tings happened' without explaining wtf happened.

[fitz2k2]

get rid of lauren already

[Cherie]

At the rish of repeating myself, I said the same thing yesterday in various threads, I think she is playing the victim, yes Im sure she is upset, but why not take the advice given to her by Bennie, Lyds and Deana, to avoid Trampy and Sara. She totally ignored it and yakked on again at length about it to Caroline that she didnt understand what she was doing wrong, and as for saying that nobody talks to her.....hello I dont think that is true, Arron, Luke S, Luke A, Adam, Lydia, Deana, Caroline, the only ones that dont speak to her are Ash and Sara, and yet she didnt nominate Ash.....why...

[Jords]

All I can say is hopefully none are you are unfairly judged and question it and perhaps get down. It heightens in the BB house too with limited amount of people to talk to and having to live with these people.

Sigh.

[Marc]

She's very desperate and she doesn't need to be making herself sad by constantly trying to be Sara and Ashleigh's friend because they just don't want any of it, just get over it and accept it Lauren

[Kizzy]

Agreed cherie, I put somewhere something along those lines.... Everyone is saying the same thing stop moaning that ash and sara don't like you...
Patience and sympathy is wearing thin for her both in the house and out I think.

[Jezzy]

Yes, she is playing the victim, because it works. If she survives on Friday, bet your a**e she'll man up (so to speak)

At the risk of offending last year's Arron fans, he played a similar whiny game - I am hoping for something more from Lauren.

I think you mean Aaron not Adam....stealing chocolate; wetting beds etc.

LOL - Sorry doing two things at once!

[Jezzy]

kefln, you put forward very logical explanations. BUT. Her friends from university say that it just isn't true that women tend not to like her. Apparently she has plenty of female friends.

I was a tomboy and always got on better with men, although since hitting my 40s I have made a lot more female friends. Being friends with men is provocative to other women, whether you want that response or not. Don't tell me Lauren doesn't know this; I sure did. I just can't buy this "don't understand" thing.

So! I think she is playing. I just don't think she is doing it very successfully yet. I hope she gets better at it

Of course we are all going to have our own opinions about this, but I might put this idea too you...

If Lauren does suffer from low self esteem, then she mightn't feel all that close to her female friends. In fact she might pay more attention to those that ignore her, than those that don't.

An outsider, or a friend, might not even notice how much such rejections effect her. Maybe in the outside world she can brush this sort of thing off.

But within the glass bowl of the BB house, where everything is magnified, her true weakness is far more apparent.

Just a thought...

Sara's said all along that she likes her, the problem comes from Lauren and Ash

But what Sara says and what Sara does don't always match up!

I think so too.

I guess in the real world Lauren wouldn't have to tolerate people like that, but she is forced to confront them in there.

So far I think she's handling it way better than I ever did. And I don't see her as playing the victim, she has been baffled by the dislike for her, and has even asked them what she could do different.

And just because you cry, that doesn't mean you're playing some type of victim card either. It must be really tough in there to control your emotions.

It's just a shame that she is up against Ben, as he has been one of her true friends in there.

[Vanessa]

I agree. She seems genuine to me. I like her!
