Caroline's explanation for why she'd glared at Sara for the entirety of
Day 32. On the night that Arron got himself evicted from the Big Brother
House, Sara broke down in tears after suffering a little playground
behaviour from Caroline. The two of them eventually met up in the garden
to discuss exactly what her problem was. 'It's because I'm getting so fat in this House - and when I get fat I turn into a super-bitch' she told Sara, letting us all know that she's fully aware she can be catty behind people's backs, and offering us a reason as to why she might sometimes get that way. Whether we choose to accept her explanation is obviously down to us individually, but at least she came up with a reason. It could be a get-out clause or it could be the real deal. But whether you find Caroline's sniping and back-stabbing overwhelmingly irritating or simply an amusing aspect of her often comical persona, it's hard to deny there's a wealth of intelligence lurking somewhere under the mad frizz of her hairdo. Arguably it's trapped behind a mouth that emits noise but rarely passes it through a filter, but it's there all the same. This spark of potential genius, sadly, often reveals itself in the form of gossip and insults. Her constant referring to Lauren as 'wooden spoon' is certainly unkind, but it's hard to deny that it is, at least, kind of clever. A wooden spoon floats and stirs, which is what Caroline perceived Lauren does best, whether it was an accurate nickname or not. If she's not the best at reading people, she's at least quite good with wordplay. In that example at least. Unfortunately, elsewhere, Caroline's loose tongue and lack of a filter made her the subject of a formal warning. As it stands, Caroline finds herself in a strange position. Almost a Floater, she's deeply distrusted by the Outsiders and, when it comes to the Insiders, seems a little like a hanger on. In recent days she's lost her friend Scott, or at least is clutching his companionship by her fingernails. So she ultimately finds herself quite isolated in what's already a divided House. If she played the smart game, she'd stop the gossiping immediately and ingratiate herself firmly with each of the two camps. The problem for Caroline, however, is she may have said one word too many out of line to start that crucial process of rebuilding. |
