The reason shes more natural with them is cause they pretend they like her, but they actually dont (just watch previous HLs for proof)

Deana is gullible and easily led and shes desperate for friendship, they prey on that and to me thats FAR worse than even Conors vile comments. It makes her look stupid on TV and is humiliating. She felt awful when Becky lied for her task in the early weeks, imagine how she'll feel when shes sees her 'friends' all bitching about her and putting her up for Noms.

Also alot of Luke As assumptions are totally off the mark. Hes been convinced since day 1 that Luke S hates him, where as in fact Luke S rarely ever even mentions him. On tonights show he said if Blue had won the diary room he would have been up, hes totally wrong, hes convinced the other group want him and Lauren out. Where as its clear the two who'd have been up if Blue had won would be Deana and Becky + maybe Adam. Luke A and Lauren are not even on the other groups radar, he thinks people are always plotting against him but in fact Caroline is the only one (and only recently) who says much about him.

You seem to be painting Deana as some delicate little flower. She's far from that and not as naive as she comes across. The only time she's really been screwed was by Becky, and don't think she's had much to do with her since then. The fact is everyone has bitched about everyone, and I think a few snipes and noms here and there from the outsiders will be nothing compared to how she's going to feel about what Conor said about her. Also the rest of the insiders have been saying much more malcious things. I don't agree with what you think Lauren and co are doing and I definitely don't agree that's far worse than what Conor said, and as I said before, Deana is this naive delicate flower. Deana seems she can be quite cold and aloof at times, she is quite a success in India, and you can't make it by being some sweet innocent girl, she's also made it clear she's money minded.

Basically with Luke A, it just seems to be getting to him. This task has seemed to have made his mask slip a bit, it would appear he can't handle pressure or conflict well so he has to bitch. I don't think he's too bothered about Deana but I do think Lauren and Adam genuinely care about her. Deana probably knows she's not going to make friends for life in there, so she's going with the people she feels most comfortable with. I'm sure she'd rather be in the company of people that genuinely like her a bit, rather than Conor and the rest who snarl at her all day.
