I like Fern but to me she is just playing out her previous role of presenter on This Morning in the house.
With a lot of quizzing of the others.

She’s hoping to get another presenting job out of this … she presumably thought that she’d be universally loved

But just the words ‘playing out a role’ suggests that she’s not truly being herself.

Fern in 100% genuine. Just because youre not an emotional person doesn't mean others aren't. I see myself a lot in fern.

She's been hurt my life and loss and when people are nice it makes her emotional. She also holds onto experiences like this with huge affection.

She is likely hugely nostalgic and deeply emotional when at home and that is fine

The vitriol I see from people on here and X is absolutely horrible. When did we become so cynical and nasty? She's just a lovely person whose having a lovely experience.

It started in 2016, and got a whole lot worse in 2020.

I totally agree Ellie....I think she is totally genuine. She seems quite fragile and I get the impression she has been through some hard times...hence the emotion. She isnt one to suffer fools and I think she sees what many see in Ekin-su an arse licker who is only really interested in people that can maybe help her on to bigger and better things. She also had a great dig at Sharon when Sharon asked her where she had been and she said "with the young ones"...it was very evident that she has no time for Louis or Sharon too.
I love her. A collegue of mine from BA cycled the Lands End to John O'Groats charity route with her and said she was just the lovliest lady.

I dont think she will win...but I hope she gets what she went in there for.

Fern comes across very much as she is in real life.
Interested in other people and their stories, with a great sense of humour.
I have heard of Only fans, but don’t have a ruddy clue as to what it is all about.
Just people posing and taking pics of themselves to show others.
Ekin Su is a nasty bit of work, very honed in to the camera and will use every opportunity to promote herself.
When she smiles her eyes are dead, no feeling behind her.

Fern is playing up to the camera. That's what the "song" was about, that's why she is emotional in the diary room, that's why she asked ekin su about only fans.

Let's remember that she fronted a daily live show every day and was capable of keeping her emotions in check, and she has been round the block long enough to know what gets public attention and sympathy and what doesn't

Exactly

I see her as THE big game player in there

She's probably a nice woman. But definitely playing up to her TV persona.
Playing a blinder, I can see her winning.

The fact that all of these bozos have accepted their invitation to enter the house - and the bottom of how many barrels must BB have scraped to come up with this undistinguished gang of deluded yet shameless non-entities - is unsurprising, especially when one considers that Fern, who entered the house last, was lauded and assigned the role of Grand Dame when, in reality, the fact that she.saw fit to participate in this humiliating exercise in chicanery, .malicious gossip, regular back-stabbing, merciless hustling and maligning your fellow wretches until the cows come home, exposed her as just another of the frauds assembled in this den of iniquity.
Still, it beats war.

…I think the tears for me, might indicate that she’s going through something in her life and could be in quite an insecure place in terms of her confidence …not a life crisis as such, but just a place of not being so sure of herself in some ways and just feeling her emotions very much on the surface and very easily being felt and shown with not very much to cause that….but CBB or the BB house is just not the place, sadly …we’ve seen it so many times before and it’s a very uncomfortable watch, for me anyway…

You may be onto something and it would indeed explain her fragility

Is anyone "genuine" in the house, when there is so much at stake and so few of them are imbued with genuine greatness. For some it's the Last Chance Saloon, for others a possible step up the slippery slope to success. Consider reprehensible Louis Walsh, once a predator insulting the music world with manufactured mediocre boy bands - who were to music what raw kangaroo testicles are to haute cuisine - but these days a soulless wreck content to nibble his fiingernails and explore the dark and dank corners of his inner cheeks with his restless tongue which, like a shark, never stops moving. The analogy doen't end there, for Louis is as adept at manipulating and maligning his fellow housemates as he was at bringing woeful music to the masses. Consider how he blamed the selection of the three "bad first impression" candidates on Sharon, when it was he who clearly contrived their nomination. A weasel and a yes-man supplicant grovelling heartily at the feet of Simon Cowell whenevr Cowell gave him permission.
In the office environment he is the water cooler assassin who will malign colleagues in your presence, but do the same to you to the very people he libelled earlier as soon as your back is turned.
Walsh represents the first successful human hybridisation of predator and sycophant.

Rest assured that this old hack is as devious as they come. Her barbs and
unsavoury insinuations are more subtly delivered than the crude stabs in the back that are frumpy Marisha's metier.

Humanity stripped bare and at its most grotesque.

She cries virtually every time she's in the bloody diary room, praising BB to high heaven for giving her the experience. She's either a faker, or, and I'm kind of hesitant to say this because I don't usually get this rude about HMs, she should get a life because ffs it's only been two weeks and this level of attachment to people you barely know is really quite odd imo.

Can't stand her, very sly and hyper aware of the cameras.
