I can only speak for myself, but I'm slagging Katie off for pretending to be nice. Big difference.

No, I don't believe her "You're making people cry, stop it!" rubbish. If someone moulds a public persona on being insulting and downright cruel, it's only expected that they'll be judged on that.

Horses and courses etc. We need to either judge them on what they bring to the house or not at all as the outside persona image is a pre fabricated one that is designed and polished to provide them with a living. The house is a cooking pot for emotions and we should judge them on that alone.

If somebody is in the house purely because of their public persona, it's entirely fair to judge them partly based on that. That's why she's there in the first place, after all.

And I'd be more willing to believe that her softer side was genuine if it didn't utterly contradict her public character. Am I really supposed to believe that someone who sleeps with a married man and cracks jokes about a seriously ill woman online is against "making people cry"?
