She's been cold and manipulative from the get go. Regularly talks badly about other housemates and proceeds to play the victim. Convinced her acolytes that the others were out to get her and by extension them, making them paranoid (when that has never been the case). Targeted Khaled for weeks and then threatened to walk when he stood his ground. Used the likes of Dean and Lily as human shields whilst enabling their poor behaviour. Talks down to others whilst expecting everyone to appease her beliefs, never extending any compassion or empathy (until she found out Khaled was popular and thought her gf gave Segun a shout out).

So remind me Ali fans. Why do you like her? All I can assume is that she's ticking certain boxes (neurodiverse; sexuality; attractive). Because it damn sure isn't her behaviour in the house. I will say this, she's playing a blinder convincing others in there. For me her plan(s) have been obvious since the beginning.

I would say that Cameron from the final Ch5 series was worse than both Helen and Ali personally.

And the "she's getting votes for her looks" thing I will say the same defence for Ali that I have also done for Marcello on another thread, Ali won't be the first woman (and she won't be the last) to get votes because people fancy her.

However it will be even less effective for Ali because most of the BB audience is straight women and gay guys, then you're presuming that every straight guy will fancy Ali.

I do agree with you that the LGBT community might be in general having a blindspot to some of Ali's personality issues due to her representing them.

Just to be balanced though, I obviously don't believe that Ali is this evil entity either that I think that some of her detractors are portraying her to be. I just think that she has some issues with people that don't follow every single mantra that her Twitter circle follows, which is bringing out some negative traits in Ali.
