It's true she can be quite immature and a too self centred at times, but fundamentally she does seem like a well intentioned and honest person who's perfectly capable of getting along with other people, her main problem is that she lashes out when she feels wronged or threatened instead of dealing with it in a calmer manner.
Last night her reaction to being nommed was over the top but understandable; it's been seen at various times that she's got along well with Michael, and then one day he's in the DR having a bit of a cheap shot about how she dresses and the next he nominates her over all the others and doesn't seem that bothered about it. Her reaction was more of a defence mechanism to hide that she was quite upset about it, you could see she didn't really know what to do and was quite unsettled by it; not sure whether to stand up or sit down, twice walking over to the kitchen and then back again etc. Dexter said pretty much all the same things about Michael that she said in the garden afterwards but no one has really held it against him, and Sallie even admitted that she was handling the whole thing terribly
Plus I think there's more to her than just her loud and argumentative side, she has interesting friendships with a few of them in there like Wolfy, and also with Hazel even though you wouldn't always expect two young models to get along so well. She's admitted that her initial judgements about some people were wrong with Jemima and even last night showed she was willing to give Gina more of a chance, plus we saw a softer side to her in the DR after that argument with Gina. And she's always pretty lively and energetic, you're not likely to just catch her lying around on her own or sleeping somewhere.
So basically yeah, I'm bored and thought I would share some musings with you all. In short; Sallie is great, everyone evict Gina.

..yeah, a good post MTVN..I agree with most of it, I can't understand how anyone can judge someone as having almost no redeemable qualities through just 1 week..(a few hours really..) of seeing someone on the TV and also when Sallie was put in the position of being nominated and hear Michael say what he said about her...anger was a natural reaction, but it wasn't so much the anger for me, it was the remark about hoping she could stay and 'make his life hell' or something like that..?...I thought that was quite spiteful and revealing..which may also make her an interesting and entertaining housemate..but the the same could be said of any unpleasant aspects of Gina's character...they would make her 'equally' deserving to stay in...and maybe she is forming some friendships but it's really easy to be 'nice and pleasant' to people you like or have stuff in common with...for me, it's more interesting how you are with people that you don't like, and I do think she came across as quite spiteful...
..anyway, having said that, I do think 1 week isn't enough to get an opinion anyway and I would like to see more of all three, so I guess it doesn't matter who goes, it's annoying that one of them has to....

All three of them have potential. It's a shame none of the bores are up for eviction.
