Even if she is, who cares. They are ALL playing to the cameras at some point.

She's VERY obviously not playing up to the cameras. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out.

The problem is along with playing up to the camera she's a complete and utter BORE aswell, but hey ho that's what the biased "GBP" seem to like so i guess she'll ride the phoney/dumb train to the end now.

In your opinion she is a bore. For me and many others she has been the funniest housemate this year and made a refreshing change from all the bitching, crying and fake romances which seem to have dominated this years show.

She looked pretty terrified to me....halloween is obviously not her thing, spooky stories...being made to jump.....that might have seemed extreme to some people....but not to others who don't like to be 'frightened'..I certainly didn't see any pretence there

I think Alex is one of the biggest gameplayers in there...

She may well be a bit thick, but she definitely plays up to it big time & she is also a seasoned fence sitter, makes sure she doesn't get involved in any arguments or take anyones side, she's actually rather clever...

But the GB love her easy to understand dumbness to a witty funny comment from Harry or Aaron. Alex not being able to make up a bed up appeals to the masses whereas a bon mot from Harry may need to explained.

It's not making a bed but i struggle putting my dogs harness on everytime he's walked, i've been shown countless times, i know how it should be done but i just can't grasp it so it ends up twisted in a right mess every time, i've only had the dog 4 years lol some people can't do some things however simple the things may appear to others!

Oh I have enjoyed all of Harry's witty remarks as well as Alex's..lets not assume Alex's fans need anything explaining to them..We are keeping up very nicely.....

Yes Gillian...you are quite right...most people have something that is a 'nightmare' for them...regardless of how easy it is to everyone else..Jay and Louise for instance, find it difficult to put a whole sentence together..

The thing is Alex would never be deliberately cruel to Harry in the way he is to her. She may not fully understand him but he is talking to his friends who are watching. Not nice really.
At least Alex has enough manners to listen to him. It was really funny last night when he was about to try and make an idiot of Faye. He asked her what she thought about David Cameron and she said nothing turning her head away to a much more interesting convo.
Classic

Anythings possible isn't it, no one can actually say anything that she does is genuine. until she admits it's not. I'm happy to give her the benefit of the doubt though.
