Hopefully she keeps the master manipulation up. Wonder who will be first to pick up on her ways.

I don't think she has the capacity for manipulation. I don't mind her, but I do think she's a bit of a thickie.

Or so she would have you think

No, I'm sure. I've just seen her on the telly, unable to pronounce Carnarvon.

Yes but when it comes to the social stuff she seems quite smart. She knows who to bitch about and who not to. She's very aware of public perception.

She's not aware what day it is. She reminds me of almost every intern I've ever had the misfortune to have in my office. Tens of thousands spent on their private education, and when you ask them to do something that doesn't involve making coffee, they're like rabbits in headlights and you can almost hear the cogs whirring. They come back from an hour's lunch and have to be retrained. Makes me want to reach into their mouth and unscrew the 5 watt bulb that passes for a brain. There are exceptions... but Caroline isn't one of those exceptions. She's ingenious the way she's going about things, but fools often are ingenious.

Yes it's true she plays the posh dumb girl well. But for me it's all in her expression, it's just lifeless and cold. You can tell she didn't give a **** about Lauren at all and just wanted to play them off against eachother, exactly like she did with Sara and Ash. I think it's just happening too many times for it to be a coincidence. She is calculating, cold and knows exactly what she's doing. She's like quiet more subtle version of Bea. And that's probably what will get her far, by the time they've figured her out it will be too late. I think she sits there a lot of the time and takes the situation in, and then figures out what she can use to her advantage and what type of personality she should take on to win over the HM's and the public.

The only thing I would say she's dumb on is calling the British public idiots if they had of saved Chris instead of Arron, other than that she is a very clever girl.

See, she knew Chris had no chance of staying. Took guts to say it and the remark paid off. Very cunning

I don't think she is particularly cunning.I think it's just that most of the Housemates aren't bright enough to see what she's up to.

If Caroline was to try to manipulate Lydia for example, or Adam or Benedict (the more intelligent members in the house), I think they'd privately see straight away what she was up to and cleverly would probably turn it back against her and manipulate her instead.

Dunno really, cos she's just so emotionless. She's like monotone all the time, so it works to her advantage as nobody can tell if she's serious or not. Which is why she did so well on her task.
