When BB started, all those years ago, contestants were assessed for their psychological fitness to appear in the show. Has that changed? Psychologists were also employed by BB during the making of the programme. Has that changed? If it hasn't changed, then presumably they must feel that she is coping or they would pull her out of the show.

I'm not a psychologist, but she appears to be coping OK for now, and if she was sharing these thoughts before she went into the house, then it's maybe been a good thing for her to enter the house and make new friends, have a laugh at times, get off benefits and have the opportunities which the show will present. Yeah, a lot of people have hated her behaviour on the show, but in a way, that will give her far more opportunities than the more bland characters like Sam and Ollie - who'll want to listen what they say about it all? I don't, and Ollie is my favourite. Samantha Brick, Liz Jones, Katie Hopkins and others like them have done very well by stepping into areas of controversy. If Linda plays her cards right, she'll do alright.

Her own sister opened that door but it wouldn't surprise me given the Nolans back story to believe it was a victim card play because she cant win based on her merits and as for going in and making friends...all she has done is bitch at \jim from the get go. Hardly a trait that will earn her friends.
