Day 38: Deana on a reccy
14 mins ago


She's been the focal point of so many arguments, it's no wonder Deana's constantly on a hunt to find out why.

Having received an ear-bashing during a Shievonnalogue and been on the sharp end of Conor's tongue since Day 1, it's been interesting watching Miss India UK come out of her shell and play the game the way the bulk of her fellow housemates are playing it. Today, she seems to have reached another level.

She weathered Shievonne's blast and now, after countless peace talks, the two are back on speaking terms. Today, as part of the Rules Are For Fools task, she even helped the former playmate out when she struggled to eat with the ludicrous tongs that became compulsory when it came time to masticate. The two bonded in this tender scene, with Shievonne playing baby and Deana playing mummy, though it may have seemed to some minds that Deana had forgotten just how sharp that argumentative blast was.

But those who thought that way will have missed Deana's earlier, hushed conversation with Luke A. The topic of Shievonne was discussed and it became clear that Deana hadn't forgiven, nor forgotten. Instead she's decided to take everything on board, be at peace with everyone around her, and keep in mind any fractious scenes when previously cantankerous housemates attempt to build bridges with her.

That thought was compounded when she spoke to Lauren later, with Becky joining in a little later.

"We're doing alright", said Lauren.

"We'll be okay", replied Deana. "Especially after tomorrow" she went on, indicating she'll be happy if either Shievonne or Conor leave.

Lauren picked up the ball and ran with it. "I'd be happy if both went. I'm sick of Caroline too."

Only a day ago, Deana asked Luke A if Lauren was trustworthy after hearing bad reports from Shievonne. Clearly the girl from Birmingham did the necessary fact-checking regarding Lauren's good character and decided to ditch Shievonne's advice.

Watch out, everybody. Deana's tactics are finally coming out to play.
