How can she be nominated if BB made the scenario that someone had to get a free pass to the final.
She didn't make the rules, she has done all within the rules,even getting warned for bad behaviour but settling down after that.

She has done everything that BB has told her to and expects her to,she cannot be nominated because of that pass, she cannot then be nominated because of the scenario BB brought into play.
So from the scenario that BB themselves set up, she is doing everything expected of her so how she can 'not' be an equal housemate as to status.

Would you have refused the free pass from Pauline, I certainly wouldn't have,even if I had been able to.
However, then being in that position I would 100% for sure not rate myself any less a housemate than the other housemates for having the pass either.
