I disagree.

It's still a popularity contest ultimately.

I don't know now, I liked Shievonne in the first week,she was my top female in there but she has started to slip with me this last few days.

[sarakss]

I liked Shievonne the first week solely for her impressions - I think she was hilarious. As far as playing a game - she's absolutely doing that and there's no harm in that.

Shievonne's greatest asset is her personality. She's a very likeable person and she uses that to her advantage even when she's in the middle of a bitch-fest. If you notice, she's present and sometimes participates in a lot of the bitching, but she's able to walk away without blood on her hands. Why? Because she's able to express her opinions in a joking manner that does not come off as overly bitchy or mean-spirited. A good example is the conversation regarding Lauren being stingy with her cigarettes.

She said the same thing Ashleigh said but her delivery with humorous - this makes Ashleigh appear to be the bitchy one.

Also, she's able to calm people down when they get into arguments. She did this with Chris and also with Deana. When you're seen as the caring peacemaker, you're not a target.

Based on the number of HMs, she's safe for several weeks. Rather than be invisible and have people nominate her because she could be seen as boring, she's playing the role as everyone's friend. Once the main targets are gone, eyes could be on her if people see her as too nice and disingenuous.

She's a smart one.

I don't think it matters. She's being judged for the sort of person she is on Big Brother, not how she is in real life. I like her.

Exactly. I think alot of non black people think Charley bb8 and Alex Bb9 are what all black frmales are like. if not she is really a fake.

Black women according to many =
shouty
aggressive
confronrational
rude
lazy
stupid
jealous of white women
nasty
violent
unyeilding
surley
stroppy.

Siobhan is none of this so is questioned.

This. It amazes me the way people can't even be nice these days without being accused of having an agenda. It's like stereotyping people with blue eyes as being rude and arrogant.

I agree!

Everyone is at it in that house in terms of playing the game and fair play to them.

Exactly. The whole point of the game show is to have a chance of winning and to walk away with a considerable amount of money. How you present yourself on the show is important, seeing as you won't be judged in the nooks and crannies of your own house, which is private and no one else's business but the person involved and the person it affects (if at all).

I don't know why people can be so nosy and desperate to know the details of someone's personal life.
