Brave as Becky may be she is out of her depth when put into this highly emotionalised environment. You can see this by seeing her initial confidence and exuberance in the first weeks being slowly replaced by self doubt as she realises exactly where she is. I think she thinks getting into a "gang" is necessary but she has chosen the so called insiders whose main weapon is bitchyness and Becky now thinks she has to act accordingly. I feel sorry knowing that in a few weeks time they will turn on her and there could be quite a breakdown .....

I don't.

I think she went in there thinking she was going to be the life and soul of the house and everyone will rally around her wanting to be her friend in order to grab information on what's happening on the outside... it didn't happen.

She latched onto Scott (because let's face it latching onto the gay guy in the house and acting silly and putting on shows for the cameras worked for Alex last year and she coasted to the final) and she was also shot down very early on her entrance by Shievonne (to a point where she admitted she felt intimidated by her). She spent the rest of the time laying on the bed and joining in about the bitching about the outsiders or Deana and putting on little shows so as to get airtime with her new buddy Scott the sheep.

As soon as Shievonne left she was in her element as she could now take on the role as the bitch alongside Caroline and Conor, where Shievonne left off.

I expect she's gone through life doing and acting exactly the same on the outside.

Interesting ... You think she is still in control and is a strong enough character to shape events in a proactive way. I dunno the more I watch the more I feel she is reacting and copying what she thinks is the expected way to act for her "group". The real test will come in a couple of weeks time then we will see what she is made of.........

Becky went into the house planning to imitate all her favorite previous popular HM's from other series. You can tell she is constantly "on", from looking for the cameras to trying the catch phrases of other series. She only lets her guard down when she doesn't realize the camera is on her (ie the image in my sig), and those moments she looks thoroughly exhausted.

I don't think she's in control at all - you've completely misinterpreted my post.

I think she thought she would be a big character and be popular when she first went in but it didn't turn out like that and she had to stay in the background until an opportunity arose for her to come forward and now that Shievonne is gone she thinks she is slowing gaining control, but Caroline and Conor will never allow it.

Did you not watch her doing the shopping list with Sheepboy and Deana? WTF was her problem sitting there ordering them around like Lady Muck. She would never talk like that to Caroline or Conor! (and she would never have got away with talking to me like that....ever!)

Luke A hit the nail on the head when he said in the diary room on tonights episode that as soon as Sheivonne was out the door, Becky's personality completely changed and she has just taken over where Shievonne left off.

Nobody will even see or know the real Becky as she is acting out so many characters from past episodes and probably others she's come across or seen on TV.

I agree, she's morphing into Caroline and she does what she's told (eg. Conor telling her not to nominate him)
