Wow. I was one of the biggest supporters of Lauren I think. I thought she was great. Did she really believe Caroline about her Royal Connection. I thought she was brighter than that ? And I must admit I think I've gone right off her an yway because she was wearing the USA flag and she said she respected Caroline so much after she said she was connected to the Monarchy.Both big nos in my book.

Damn and I didn't like anyone else who do I support or even watch the show for now.

I don't think she did, rewatch her reaction and compare it to Sara's. Sara totally believed it

Nope, Lauren was not taken in...

OK I'll re-watch it. She did a good job of acting it if she was fooling Caroline.
She seemed to really believe it to me and don't want to sound big-headed but I don't think I'm a dummy.I think maybe I missed what was really going on because I was shocked at the USA top and her reaction to the Monarchy, so I was shocked and didn't think it through clearly.

It'd be heart breaking if I go off her because of it although of course I'd live.I could forgive the USA top as that can just be worn as fashion but I can't forgive her supporting the Monarchy.Thanks for the advice I'll have another look at her reaction.

Or maybe she guessed that Caroline was on a task and went with it.

Yeah it's fairly obvious.You would have thought anyone with much of a good working brain would thought first "Oh this could just be a task ?". As they know tasks get given. I was looking out for the way Lauren responded to see if I could tell by her voice etc if she was just pretending to believe Caroline.

But the camera was behind Lauren as she responded to Caroline so I think I only had the tone of her voice to go on.And she did that really well, she fooled me I couldn't really detect she was definitely just pretending to believe.If I'd been able to see her face it'd been easier to work out.I have to wait till tomorrow till it's re-run on 5* to look again at her response to what she said, but maybe I can find a clip on youtube.

I've had another look at Lauren's response to Caroline telling her she had Royal connections, and I'm afraid, I'm fairly convinced now, that she fell for it.

You could tell by the smile in her eyes and the way her tongue came forward (a subconscious behaviour) in a licking manner (that shows Royalty are a tasty or likeable subject to her) rather than the tongue pointed out which is a warding off gesture.

Also they all were humming and singing the national anthem afterwards. So for that reason I don't know who I want to win now.It'll probably just be a matter of wanting the least nastiest to win, and getting Caroline out as quickly as possible, I know nasty people are entertaining but there's a limit IMHO to how much you can reward coldness and nastiness towards others.

Also Lauren loses my vote because of her USA top which I could have forgiven but it is really stupid, I could have let her off that, and am sad I cannot vote for someone who I still think has the best heart in the house, but her apparent love of the institution of Monarchy and her support for it means I cannot give her my vote any more.

I think she figured Caroline was on a task and didnt want to blow her cover

Cunning Caroline cleverly conned them both.
