With all due respect (which is more than you give people a lot of the time), that's crap.

Sure, I wasn't a pre-existing fan because I wasn't extremely aware of her before CBB, but she was a very strong favourite of mine, before she started acting in a way that I didn't expect of her. Take Bananagate, for example. I'd have expected her to either ignore it (considering she hid food too), or confront Alicia face-to-face straight away, not whisper about it, and later on be involved in a gossip about her personal life. This disappointed me because of all I'd heard about her, and pre-BB interviews I saw, it was totally against how I'd expect her to react to the situation. It was just catty, and I didn't have Michelle down as that.

You speak for yourself, don't presume you can do so for me. In the early days of the series, I was a fan. Now, while I don't dislike her, I'm not exactly a supporter because she's disappointed me. People are entitled to feel that way without someone starting a thread moaning about people daring to have a different view on things.

If you didn't know who she was before then what right do you have to be 'disappointed'?

Thats absurd.



Those who've known her for years are seeing exactly what we love about her, she hasn't dissappointed anyone.

Did you miss the part where I she was my favourite in the early days? She disappointed me because I liked her, and then she started acting in a way that I didn't like. And yes, more disappointment came from little what I'd heard and seen of her before. I saw an interview where she herself says "I don't say it behind your back", yet she did just that numerous times with Alicia. I heard a lot about how she's totally against nastiness, catty behaviour, etc, then she involves herself in a particularly nasty gossip session.

Of course I have a right to feel disappointed, anybody does. This suggestion that you only have a right to form a particular opinion if you've known of someone for longer is ridiculous.

What's "absurd" is your terrible attitude to anyone who has something to say that differs from what you want to hear.

She had ONE conversation about Alicia whilst not in her presence where she recounted Alicias story to the other girls.

NOT ONE BITCHY COMMENT left her mouth about Alicia. Just because came and Chloe may have bitched doesn't mean Michelle did.

She has said EVERYTHING to peoples faces

Gosh, so much anger. Again. Though, at least you're not swearing your head off at me this time.

Michelle had no right to "recount Alicia's story" to anyone. That's her personal life, that's her's to discuss with who she chooses (and, clearly, she didn't choose Cami for a reason). Especially when you know those you're telling it to dislike her. And I never once said Michelle said the worse things, but she was a willing participant.

And what about the start of the banana situation? She saw Alicia take the bananas and whispered about "dingbat" taking them. The best thing to do would be to approach Alicia directly and ask her about it. Again, catty and behind her back. The fact that she later asked her about it directly is irrelevant. It's made even worse that she and Katie themselves hid food, so they were persecuting Alicia for something they clearly had no problem doing themselves.

I don't dislike Michelle, I don't think she's a bad person, but I think she messed up here. Yes, she disappointed me and I of course have the right to feel that way, that's how BB works.

People need to chill with getting crazily angry about people getting disappointed in Michelle. This is a discussion board, you shouldn't be arrogant enough to expect everyone to echo your views.

Fans invest a lot of themselves in other people - if they don't get angry and intolerant when other people don't get 100% behind those they are worshiping then they probably couldn't consider themselves loyal fans. Being rational and circumspect doesn't feature largely in the phenomenon.

It's the nature of the beast.
