[Pink Pegasus]

I think I warmed to Corin because she was one of the few people who really seemed to make an effort with Sunshine. I know she nominated her in the very first week, and I personally also found Sunshine irritating, but Corin would always include her in everything, and have long chats with her, whilst the other girls didn't seem to give her the time of day.
She always gave advice, and comfort to anyone who was feeling down, I even recall John James sobbing in her arms at one stage after a row with Josie!

I am aware of the stereotypes that can exist of people that look the way Corin does [shallow, bitchy, uncaring, selfish, jealous,etc.],however I don't think this is how Corin has portrayed herself.

She is obsessed about the way she looks, but she has said herself that she feels completely insecure without her makeup etc.
Whatever she feels about herself, she doesn't seem to place much importance or judgement on how anybody else in the house looks/dresses.[as some bitchy girls do]
She comes across as very down to earth and just judges others on how well she gets along with them.

I do feel that being accepted seems quite important to her[and probably to everyone to some extent], and whether that is why she has a look similar to countless others in the glossy mags, or whether she just simply is a fan of fashion and really likes that tanned, extensions "look" is unknown to me.
Either way, I don't actually think she looks that bad, and as she isn't displaying the bitchy/selfish characteristics that can be associated with the stereotype, then I don't see any harm in it really.

Corin is very unlike myself in appearance or "type" if you like. I mean I do like "girly" things like shoes and certain colours[see username :-) ] etc., but I have blonde hair that I just leave wavy instead of straightening,quite casual colourful clothes, and I never wear any makeup unless I was going to a club which is very rarely. Yet how she looks doesn't put me of her at all. 2 out of my group of friends are also big into their fake tan etc., but are some of the loveliest girls you could meet.

I like that she tries to get involved in the majority of things that are happening, and wants to spend more time having fun and trying to get along with people, than sitting bitching and moaning for the day. [The only bitch I liked was Ben because he made me laugh so much]

I also like the things that others seem to dislike her for, for example her competitiveness and determination in that task with Keeley, and also her very fiery temper.

Her phrases such as "I'm buzzin" etc. do really irritate me, but overall I see far more positive than negative in her.

I think she makes a strong conscious effort to try to enjoy life and be happy, and to not let others bring her down, and I don't think this makes her a fake person. If she IS upset/angry she still shows it.
Others in that house try their very best to make her "snap" and drag her down to their level. They hate the fact that not everyone is as bitchy and miserable as them, and will do anything to try and bring her to their level.

The relentless digs at her,have finally started getting to her the last few days. I felt sorry for her when she was in the bathroom with Mario, and she wouldn't let him hug her because she knew it would make her cry.
She choked back the tears as best she could,and again regained her composure and strength to go out face the rest of the house.

Sure she does have her flaws, but from what we've seen on BB and live feed, she comes across to me as a very warm, friendly, down to earth, amusing, and kind hearted person. I don't see the fakeness that others mention.
