Very true - Nicole wasnt scared - she wanted Kim to make an arse of herself - shame really because it wasnt Kims best - I hope she gets a better chance tonight - your'e an adulterer - that was my favourite one!! and chinless wonders!!

I think it's a shame that certain people are held to a particular standard where they're expected to display only one side to their personality forever or otherwise be scrutinized and labeled as fake. Everybody on the planet has different sides to them, Kim is no different.

And I think it's especially desperate for the gang in there to twist her friendliness with Jedward into some sort of act she's putting on. She's always gotten along extremely well with them. The others provoke her and then play the oblivious card when she bites, spiteful pricks.

I think it's purposeful. They launch night folks are doing everything they can to pick out a perceived (and made up) flaws against Jedward and Kim. They are hoping to get the public to dislike them and therefore not vote for them.

That is Nicola's whole purpose...she is constantly goading Kim and Jedward to get the outbursts that could turn off their fans. And don't forget Coleen with the constant "I don't understand who's voting for them" declarations...which is a passive aggressive way to tell people not to vote for them.

Very true. Seeing them seethe with bile at how many evictions Jedward and Kim have survived is pretty hilarious, in fairness.

I think it's likely that Kim has Narcissistic Personality Disorder - horrible childhood has resulted in her donning this ridiculous lovely granny facade, as seen when she's with Jedward, but the twisted, manipulative, nasty, demeaning , unhappy Kim comes screaming out as soon as she receives any criticism or is disagreed with.
She has an extremely fragile ego and a HUGE persecution complex; always playing the victim ("you've put me through hell", "you started it" "tell them off not me"etc etc)
Tbh I feel sorry for her as she arguably (I doubt having a personality disorder classes as a mental health problem but when someone becomes pathological I think it's fair to say it does) isn't mentally fit to be in there.
OR she has early onset dementia and therefore definitely shouldn't be in there.

If you look at how she interacts with the other housemates it's manipulative, aggressive and ingenuine. It's hard to know the real Kim because she doesn't know who she is herself and/or doesn't like herself. I think this is why the two sides to her are so opposite because the nice side is a desperate cover up to a deeply unhappy woman.

I just think she's putting it on as an act, and is totally playing the Big Brother game to win.

I don't believe for one minute that she's that rude to people.

I hope she wins, but I doubt it very much.

I don't think it's the "real Kim". If you ask me, it seems like she's playing a game (which is a good and interesting thing). I've always held myself to the belief that everyone is mostly genuine in that house, but Kim goes from one extreme to another in an instant. I've barely seen her outside the house, but from what I have seen she's certainly not been the loud character she 'plays' in the house. She was clearly told to cause drama and tension before going into the house, and tbh good on her for making it, because so many people promise that and fail to deliver
Regardless, she makes good TV. I kinda hope she just sits down and confirms if she's been real or played up because, while I don't mind either way (I can't really complain that she comes out with some vulgar stuff because 1. at times it's funny and 2. nearly every housemate ever has), it's frustrating me because I can't figure her out. I'd love to go over to her nice clean house for afternoon tea while she boils the kettle and addresses me as 'lovey' before asking if I'd like her premium biscuits if it is the real her.

Better that than accuse Coleen and James C of having a relationship
