If you take the logic of just judging them as they are in the house then even a serial killer might be charming to be around for a few weeks. I'm taking this argument ad absurdum, of course. I'm not comparing Ann, a dogmatic right-wing former politician with intimacy issues to a dangerous killer.

I agree with everyone's efforts in there to bring a human side of Ann out. Whatever you think of individual HMs, they all tried to engage her in a positive way. I'm sure it will do her a lot of good and maybe in time, lead to her changing some of her preconceptions.
But I don't agree with ignoring or brushing aside her core beliefs because it's inconvenient to challenge them (like Amanda or Wayne or all others, except ShaneJ or Andrew, do). It compromises their integrity and looks false.

Don't be silly it does nothing of the sort, have all the HMs been interogated on their political or religious views, no they haven't, Amanda and Wayne did not research Ann before they went into the house because they went in to get a fee and perhaps have the experience, Shane J researched her, not sure if he researched anyone else but I think its a first for CBB for someone to own up that they had researched someone before going into the house instead of going in with an open mind
