I don't think so. She's just playing a ruthless game.

When she went in, there was a powerhouse group of Marcus, Freddie, Siavash and Noirin, and she merely latched onto Freddie knowing that his acceptance would result in the group's acceptance.

(I think David did somewhat the same thing with Lisa - he knows that if Lisa says you're all right, Charlie, Sophie and Rodrigo fall into line.)

But then Siavash and Noirin destabilised the group with their romantic tryst, before Noirin totally withdrew her membership to go and be Issac's property and the group weakened, whilst Lisa's group maintained its numbers - David having been very much welcomed into the fold.

Hira was still a neutral presence in the house, so there was no need for Bea to panic about the slight difference in numbers between the sides.

But then she was nominated and realised that her group wasn't strong enough, or disciplined enough (Siavash not voting) to protect her.

She was banking on Lisa or David getting evicted last week to even the numbers up, but since Hira went she's been looking for an escape route from what has now become the weaker group.

By causing a massive scene when Marcus's cigarette banditry came to light, she happily threw him under the bus to "prove" loyalty to like-minded Marcus sceptics in the house. And seeing that they were all lining up against Freddie, she's thrown him under the bus too. And as a result, she's now part of the strong group.

I don't think it was all part of some big plan to destroy Freddie - he's just the poor sap that held the key to her initial acceptance into the then-stronger group.

She's ruthless. The speed with which she sold out Tom and Ken within seconds of the first nominations task being announced was breathtaking. She doesn't take prisoners.
