I agree with you, if I am in a bad mood, I just want to be left alone. The problem here is that Sandra finds herself in a confined environment where her actions are magnified. She would be better off playing the hypocrite and accepting the hugs graciously rather than being a sour puss about it. If she'd done that we would have gotten an hour's worth of sappy letter footage.
I too, prefer my own company if I am stressed or angry. I dont often get angry, I walk away from the situations before they escalate. Its a bit harder to be alone though, in a house with about a dozen other people. Sandra would enjoy her time much more, if she embraced the unique situation she is in and she might take the target off her back and survive another week, but with this being a double eviction, I think the sulky la-la performance has sealed her fate. Its a pity, because I still think there is more to her, than what we have seen, or been shown. She didnt do herself any favours by her limpet-like behaviour with Sam, that was teenage behaviour and she is supposed to be a grown woman.
Its a bit different with Traisha, they are both young, impressionable and think they are in love. I wish them well, but I dont think a goldfish bowl setting, with TV cameras and microphones all over the place, is a good place to start a relationship. Be friends with people yes, then see if you still feel the same, when you are both out of the house, but dont exclude the ones that you depend on EACH WEEK, not to nominate you, at the expense of whats probably a faux showmance. I think its really one sided, Travis is head over heels (like Jade last year) and I think Aisha is using him (like Ed last year), to stay under the radar and as a crutch to make her time easier. They know that couples attract more potential for air time. I want to see genuine, entertaining people if there is $200,000.00 at stake.
There are still people in there after 6 weeks, that havent shown much personality. We got to see a bit more of Teflons this last week and I wasnt impressed with him. They havent shown us much of Priya, but she strikes me as the nice motherly type, she was seen consoling Skye after some of Skyes nominations were shown, which was a plus for her. However, I think Priya realises, so does Leo, that staying onside with Skye and her perceived popularity outside the house, will help them to get further in the 'game'. In the short time that he has been in the house, Leo has shown himself to be a decent bloke. He hasnt openly sought out the Alpha male role, but he probably is it. Cat and Lawson need to make up their minds over how they really feel about each other. I DO feel that there is an attraction there on both their parts, but Lawson has on his mind, how it makes him look on the outside, when he was in a supposed relationship. He should have thought about that a bit more, before he took Cat into the Sanctuary. Cat's feelings are obvious and I dont think they are false, like I think Aisha's are. But then again, Cat might be also tagging up, or trying to form another faux showmance, to get her further into the show. From what we have been shown so far, its Skyes to lose.
. I dont think custard powder would be a staple either. Does anyone know what staples consists of, besides tuna and rice and tofu?
