However as it is, just going by what is shown in the house, I think Lauren is a much higher level of housemate, she is challenging to win the show, along with the likes of Adam & Deana. I don't think Luke A has been in the running after the first ep or so, when he turned his interesting reassignment, into a repetitive bore of a tale.

One of the few dangers I see is that Lauren could have a meltdown or two, and the other girls might want to provoke that. I'm just glad Deana didn't nom her too, cause now Lauren knows that at this moment in the show, she has at least one female friend.

What do you think of her chances Joe?

I'm just a bit worried she'll get down about it and turn moody for the rest of the week. Luke and his DR dramatics don't help either. Like you said, the casual viewer will vote him for the sob story. We just need to hope she decides to have a bit of fun and get her **** it attitude back. Hopefully she can avoid the bitches and have a good time with the people she's close to. I think then she's got a good chance of staying. She's killing the polls at the moment so that's good as well.
