I'd still prefer 10 Farida's over 1 Kerry. I really can't stand Kerry's type, the constant poor little old me act and emotional manipulation to get people to do their bidding or turn people against others.

It's probably just much easier for us to see as viewers on the outside looking in than it is for the housemates. However I think Farida clocked her game straight away..

You’ve nailed Kerry’s character here. I believe she went in thinking everyone would love her and be drawn to her, and that she would be centre of attention. That was not the case, and she couldn’t deal with it when Farida drew more attention, so Kerry targeted her with negativity.

I don’t think this comes from big-headedness but from insecurity, which displays itself as a sadly desperate need for self approval.

I don’t think this will appeal to people long term as, although she wants to portray herself as a giving person, she is actually just trying to satisfy her own neediness.

…this is how I see her as well, Garfie…and hey, Garfie…🩷…I think her crying possibly balances her own insecurities and she’s one of the much more vulnerable housemates …I think in Farida, she sensed and interpreted everything she doesn’t feel herself but tries to project she is and would like to be…as in confident and emotionally strong, which I personally feel, sparked the ‘clash’ she felt with Farida…now that she’s had a confidence boost by staying, I’m hoping to see a much more confident her and other aspects to her…

Good to be back here discussing BB with you again, Ammi ❤️ I’ve missed it! I often felt we interpreted housemates in quite a similar way.

You always make interesting points, and I think your analysis of Kerry’s clash with Farida makes so much sense. In fact, I think you’ve nailed it.

I believe the conflict might cease now that Farida has left, and I agree that Kerry will get a huge confidence boost in staying. However, I think Kerry’s underlying character is too ingrained, and she will be led by her insecurities into further attention seeking, self-serving and self-pitying behaviour. In time, I think others will find her too emotional and needy, as well as too negative, and will become uncomfortable with that, and distance themselves. (This is where I have a more cynical side than you, Ammi!)

…no, I don’t think that’s cynical, Garfie…any confidence issues will take a lot of emotional energy from housemates and they’re not always going to have energies for themselves…so yeah, exhausting so very much vulnerable to nominations …
