I saw a different side to her in last night's episode. She's actually quite vulnerable and insecure. And very sweet. She shows no malice presently.

Hopefully she's calmed down now and I hope her journey in the house brings her more confidence and is a learning experience socially. She's young and naive but she needs to be wary of others who will take advantage of that.

Yes Daze. .

……I hoped she’d win you all over……for me, she’s one of the more layered personalities of the house…no one screeches and screams quite so much as she did if they have a confidence in themselves…but she’s settling because she realises that she’s accepted and that she’s liked…I think there’s a saying is something along the lines of…never judge a book by its screaming cover……

Haha. I think she just needs some reassurance from people that she is liked because she doesn't believe in herself. Martha and Ali showed her that she is loved and it even seems like Emma has taken Lily under her wing. As you say, screaming and shouting might get you noticed, but most probably for the wrong reasons. It's so hard to get people initially but we all have first impressions. In real life you might not meet that person again, and just walk away. In reality TV you can't do that (well you can but lose the game).

I want to see her blossom and become a confident young woman. This could be life changing for her hopefully.

…yeah, it feels to me that Lily just doesn’t know how to feel her own presence in a group situation and becomes a bit overwhelmed by other people …that was easy to see when there were more serious conversations going on and her face was like that small child who was around ‘adult chat’ but didn’t understand any of it and doesn’t feel as though she can contribute…I know that the screeching isn’t great but Lily probably knows that too, which is also why her first assumption as that she won’t be liked and accepted so it’s a bit of a revolving circle, isn’t it…it’s what she instinctively does to say…hey, I’m here and I want to be part of you all…but in doing that, she knows that she can distance people because she’s ’too much’…that’s why I really didn’t like Emma’s stance and reaction to her because as an older person, I hoped that she would have been more understanding and tolerant…Ali seems though to have realised that Lily just needs a few ‘comfort blanket’ type reactions from some to help her through and it’s nice to see that happening…this is the beauty of BB and that blend of personalities…it’s not just a lily whose flower is blossoming and hopefully will continue…others are blossoming also in how they’re finding their own places in the group…

Totally agree. She's socially inexperienced it seems presently. And it's hard when you're young. Wanting to be liked. Inexperienced in certain aspects such as politics etc. At her age I was only interested in music and clubbing. Didn’t care for much else. Having lots of friends made that experience great. I don't feel she has that in her life which is why she isn't so independent in herself.

I'm not going to lie, I had the same attitudes as Emma initially, as I mentioned previously. And I'm only watching from afar for an hour or so.

I find her quite endearing now.

|She is great full of fun. She'd be the life and soul of the party.

I do like Lily after seeing another side to her on last night's show.

I said from day one, the real Lilly will make herself known.

Also, I think she hides a very shy side. Like most shy people she looks down a lot. She's fighting to be extrovert but she isn't really.

It's all an act.
