"Playing the Victim"

What does that mean?

To me that means that someone is playing up to the cameras and trying to make a situation look worse than it really is. To "Play the Victim" a person needs to seek attention. To seek reassurance where none is needed.

Has Jale tried to make the situation look worse? Has seen looked for reassurance where none was needed?

For the most part Jale has kept to herself. She hasn't made much of a display. You don't see her in the diary room looking for sympathy. For the most part she keeps to herself and contains her emotions. The biggest out break we saw was when she was trying to calm herself.

To "Play the Victim" you have to paint yourself into a corner where you can react to what others do to you. In yesterdays show Jale was sitting, quietly eating, and chatting. Helen's attack came from nowhere.

Jale's reaction was more of a "where the ***** did that come from"? Which is what I'd imagine most viewers thought as well.


I've said this a few times already, in other threads, Helens and Jales postions in the house couldn't be more different.

Helen is queen bee, lots of support, a free pass and obviously likes picking on people. She has done it to Christopher, Danielle and Jale.

While Jale is fairly isolated, no real connection, constant threat of being evicted and has rarely said anything bad about anyone.

We are about 10 days in and Helen has gone from name calling in private, to name calling in public. Yet there has been no confrontation to explain the escalation.

Helen and Pauline are more typical of "Playing", as she demands constant attention and seems to need someone to put down.
