Baring in mind she FAILED at school (despite a fantastic unbringing), I find it hilarious that she has the audacity to call any other housemate "thick". She can't even be bothered to get a job (probably because she sees jobs that match her experience/qualifications "beneath her" as well).

Although Chris might be a bit of an idiot, he's a grafter who has gone out and earned money off his own back. He has two jobs and she has absolutely no right to talk about him in the manner that she has been doing.

How is she looking down on people? You have judged her on her accent. If someone hated someone just because they were working class, you'd think it outrageous, and yet it seems it's okay to hate someone purely because they come from an upper-class background.

this is the truth.

it's funny cause i didn't even know that she was considered upper class based on her accent.

I don't like the way she talks about others, namely Chris. For example, the other day I saw her taking the mick out of his occupation - hugely rich coming from someone who failed school and is unemployed! Her tone of voice, when talking about Chris, is also hugely patronising, in my opinion.

Certainly don't hate her becuase of her background (as perhaps one or two others on this thread do). I have friends from both sides of the tracks. It's her attitude that gets to me most. Not her looks, and certainly not her parents bank balance!

Just for the record though, I think she has the potential to be a great housemate. Just not one i'll be voting for!

She does make me laugh though, although if she was doing the same thing to someone who wasn't such an idiot I might feel different

exactly, she's not saying these things about Chris to be nasty, she's saying it because any rational sane person would feel the same way!

Exactly, I mean the things Chris comes out with as "compliments" (eg. You're not like a normal Irish man, I think you're more intelligent than people think) They're stupid and a bit offensive, he deserves to be taken the piss of, he might actually start thinking before he opens his gob in future that way

I disagree, she IS being nasty ..We can all have a little joke on here as we only see 1hr of HL's a day, any rational sane person would not write anyone off on that basis.
Caroline is effectively bullying chris. I don't have much time for the guy based on what I have seen of him as he is also a bully, I don't see how that justifies her comments though.
