I can see why people would argue from a place of compassion yesterday, and I can see it myself if I take myself away from what has happened before. But the above is nagging at me, and I cannot help it doing so.
Everything is being played in a very cynical and calculating way, one that relies on playing the audience as much as the house. She reminds me of Aaron in the way that she is doing that now that she has switched strategies after her first one failing so very badly.

In her case being seen as 'compassionate Ali' is part of that... But it's performative niceness. Like I say zero ***** were given until it was a weakness to be exploited.

I actually do think it will work out for Ali though and she will be there on final night.

Trying to groom Hanah away from the lads, for example, is not 'caring' about Hanah... It's just getting another nom to support her, or at least to not be on her.

Ali saw weakness and exploited it.
This.

It was actually disturbing to see Ali slowly walk over to Hanah to "comfort" her.

A couple of scenes later she's telling her lap dogs they need to get Hanah on board because she's feeling "vulnerable".

It's actually really creepy how fast Ali spots weakness and vulnerability and zeros on it iin order to exploit it.

I am not watching the series now but you’ve just described , in some detail , someone being thoughtful and considerate .

So how on earth you have you read it as being ‘disturbing’ is mystifying

I stopped watching ages ago as I found this forum’s ridiculous character assassination of Ali too much too of a strain .

So I went cold turkey and stopped watching the series and just limited my posts to general stuff

It worked out well as we are staying with relatives in Florida and so watching hours of BB each night is completely unfeasable

But if you're not watching ,how can you comment and tell us we're " wrong" ? . You're missing what's happening.

You actually would have liked last night's show Ali & Hanah had a sweet moment,I even said so myself. It seemed genuine even on Ali's part ,she saw Hanah was upset...and had a private heart to heart upstairs.

The reason people doubt Ali's motives,is because afterwards she was outside with Dean etc talking about taking Hanah into their group. It's like she's gone a little into game mode / recruitment. But if you're not watching Zizu ..then you won't know what we mean .

I think the moment was sincere from Ali ,but I think she's still trying to use it to her advantage...and she wants more strength in numbers. You might not agree,but that's how I see it .

On another note ,I hope you're enjoying your holiday with relatives in Florida . It's good to unwind & take a break.

I mean, it's hard to take the opinion seriously of someone that isn't even watching the show.

But thanks for bumping the thread either way.

I didn’t comment on the series. I commented on someone’s specific take on an incident .

I couldn’t explain myself any clearer to be perfectly honest .. I

No, I’m not that bored. I agree I don’t understand why you’re still commenting on things you haven’t seen and tell people they are wrong because you’re obsessed with Ali.

You’re missing the point. You’re commenting on posts and telling people they’re wrong when you haven’t even watched it.

I am just commenting on specifically outlandish posts rather than the series which I haven’t watched since about the 19th October

The series is irrelevant when I am discussing a particular post not an incident or event

I comment on stand alone posts like the one below .. ones where you don’t have to have seen the incident .

I said it was quite a stretch to reach that conclusion

Hopefully this clears the matter up
