Lauren was a real target by Ashleigh, Caroline, Becky and Shievonne....more than Deana. Why didnt people react like they do to Deana....because Lauren has a little cry then either talks to them respectfully (although they dont deserve it)...and then just takes it on the chin instead of playing the 'poor me' card over and over again.
Lauren did at first but as she said when she came out that one big thing she learnt was that 'not everybody is going to like you'...move on and be the bigger person. Thats what Deana cannot do....Deana milks it for all its worth and many fall for it.

Good post, well thought out and well written

I could never understand the conspiracy theories that haunt the forums every year. Surely the producers couldn't care less who wins? They just want to make good tv, leading to higher ratings, leading to higher add revenue, and thus higher fees for them. Whoever wins will probably retreat back into obscurity. Even if they do manage to stay in the limelight, that's just publicity for the program. And there is no such thing as bad publicity.

The producers have enough to do to make good tv, do you really think they'd bother rigging the show? Would they really edit out entertaining stuff that a housemate did? Of course they wouldn't. Entertainment is the name of the game. But, they can't put it all in either. Can you imagine trying to edit a show for 14 odd characters without having a clue of what their arcs will be? I think they do a terrifc job when you consider the difficulties involved.

The reason Deana didn't get a letter is because it wasn't drawn out. The reaction they get from her, will probably end up being less dramatic than it would be from others. The reason Deana will probably handle it with grace and dignity, is because they are qualities which she values greatly. Not because the producers have spent seven weeks feverishly editing her to be something she isn't. And, if she does throw a dramatic strop - I can gaurantee you that we will see it.

No, her letter was never there to be drawn out. This isn't some conspiracy theory - every official statement from BB describing the task clearly states that because Ashleigh failed her task and lost a letter, only 9 letters were sent into the house. If they'd sent all 10, regardless of whose was last in the box, someone would've said damn the rules and grabbed it out anyway. There was no mechanism to physically prevent them from taking everything in the box out, and it was empty after the 9th letter was read.

What people are questioning is how "random" was BB's decision of which letter not to put in the box. You have to wonder, if it randomly did come up as Deana, would they have considered putting it in and pulling Sara or Scott's instead - someone that would be less controversial. Otherwise, random or not, it's giving both sides of the superfan wars ammunition - Conor fans say they did it deliberately to make her sympathetic, Deana fans say they did it deliberately to torture her more (and possibly give Conor a task later to win it for her, so he can come out looking like a hero).

Since there is no record of how the missing letter was physically removed from the stack, nothing is going to end that speculation.

Controversial:

I really hope Deana's letter contains an extract
from Conor's vile epilator and punch rant.

Because that sounds like something her parents would want to include in a supportive letter

Ah i'd forgotten he did get it in the end, sort of. I'm sure something similiar will happen for Deana too.

[*mazedsalv**]

The article stated there would be JUST 9 letters. So the BB producers decided to exclude Deana's.
Quite pathetic. Why not exclude the people who lost their task eg. Ashleigh.

[Munchkins]

Poor Deana
They should have just not let Ashleigh have hers.

i would not like it but as i said it would make seeing her family when she come out that bit sweeter

Chuff dont get all upset, you should be happy because WE HAVE NOW BEEN VINDICATED, IT IS OFFICIAL, DEANA IS BEING GROOMED as we thought. It cant be any clearer and if anyone still doubts bb,s intentions, they need a serious reality check. The evidence is there for all to see. Way too many things point to her help that its impossible to ignore. Now get off our backs and accept that she is the BB, teams fav.

Yes ,you are right ,what we predicted would happen, has happened,shows we know our stuff, but i HATE bias and unfairness and the way shes been singled out from NIGHT ONE is both of these things ,its not fair of good hm8s who DESERVE to win

[sampvt]

Chuff....What we need is for good solid supporters of our philosophies to come forward and not to be afraid of posting their views. These people that constantly try to supress our views are in the majority and are quite intimidating. We need more to speak up how they feel to level the playing field and maybe the BB staff will realise they have been rumbled and lay off a bit. We should start a thread to champion one person against her, who do you think. I prefer Adam but quite frankly the caretaker can win over her for me, anyone but that cow. I tried a Deana hate thread but it got oiked. lol. Rightly so.

I am not a TROLL petal, far from it. Just an unhappy camper with views I feel this forum should hear.

Dont be daft, Deana would never give up the chance to play the victim, impossible. She is so happy to have lost it, she is probably all giddy inside.

Jesus not getting her letter made her day !! most probably made her summer, why would SHE want to be treat the same as the rest of them ? No letter ,no likey !!

[Marcus.]

it will make seeing her family that bit sweeter

[coleman]

When Deana comes theirs posts all over the place. I like all the outsiders. but its Deana v Connor this show. looks like anyway.

[Yayita]

letters from home are so stupid, why do reality shows always do that? theyve been gone for a few weeks geeze!!! I also hate the survivor visit from family episode... barf!! crying doesnt do anything for me, why do they keep doing it.

[Amy Jade]

Poor Deana, that must be heartbreaking not getting a letter. Love her more than ever for acting with such dignity too.

[cassieparis]

Okay let's go with the irrational.
BB set it up so we can feel sorry for Deana. .....not Ashleigh
and it's Deana's fault because?????
