In Defence Of Cat & Lawson

wejoy said:
I think Cat has done this for strategy, to be honest who would remember her if she hadn't made a play for Lawson. She would have been one of those non entity housemates who no body remembers. Now she has infamy. I think Lawson is just thinking with his dick. Hopefully channel 9 will realise with all the publicity that this has generated. That people are interested in big brother and show us more content.
Bring it on I say, anything that brings big brother new viewers is alright by me. Hopefully we will get a better version of BB next year.

This is no strategy.

No he said they got back together 1 day after they broke up. Not 1 day before he went into the house. People, especially at that age, break up and get back together. My husband and I did a few times before we were married. I would hate that someone would say our relationship was any less serious, especially now that we have a child lol.

But yeah, I'm over the topic too. It was done to death last year with Tully and Drew and these two definitely are nowhere near as interesting.

I'm the opposite. I found Tully and Drew boring. But to me Cat and Lawson are far more interesting, especially Cat.

I didn't say it was a good strategy. Older woman goes after younger taken man, guaranteed to get people talking. Cat has completed 2 degrees, she is not stupid.
To be perfectly honest Cat does not owe Lawson girlfriend a thing, It was up to Lawson to stop this, he chose not to. I think Cats playing him.

I believe that she actually has feelings for Lawson. I'm not saying what they are doing is right, but this is no strategy from either of them. I believe Cat is too insecure to be playing anyone. She isn't thinking with her head, she is thinking with her heart.

Why do you feel Cat's so insecure? Surely it's not because of that pic of when she was heavier than she is now.
 
Just to add to my question above, these are Cat's own words. There's not an insecure bone in her body. Delusional ones, yes. Insecure, no.

"Some people think that life’s easier if you’re more attractive … You have to prove yourself a little harder. You have to prove that you’ve got more substance to you because people might pigeonhole you.

This is what I wrote on the Clawson thread.

That's a good question. I think I might have used the wrong words when I posted 'changed my perspective' because I'm not completely sure what perspective I had of Cat, and I'm not sure if the perspective I have of Cat right now is the right one. Previiously I was leaning towards the point of view that Cat was crazy and also leaning towards the theory that this was some kind of weird game plan by her to destroy Lawson's chances in the game. Maybe both those theories are still true. I don't know. However last night when I saw the photo where she was fat I gained a new perspective on her.

After seeing the photo I think that Cat is a very insecure person. Body weight issues don't just dissapear even after you lost all those kilograms. I feel that she will always have issues with her body. I feel that she is very anxous, espically regarding her relationships. I think the talk she had with Lawson on the hamster wheel wasn't some kind of trick she was playing to get him to love her, but a sign of the guilt and the insecurity she was carrying for being having feelings for a taken man. Cat was very indecisive in that conversation, and clearly what Lawson said to her is something she didn't want to hear. But that isn't because of some crazy plan, but I have a theory that she feels that any rejection of her reminds her of the days where she was teased for being fat by the mean girls at school. Now I'm just guessing, like i'm doing for most of this post, in regards to thinking that Cat was fat back in high school. But she said she was teased by the mean girls. Maybe it was because of her book worm habits, but I'm thinking it was because of her weight issues.

I feel that Cat, like Lawson, likes to put on a facade that everything is all right when it actually is not. Maybe that's why she hates telling people she was only married for a year? Because she hates admitting failure? I'm not sure how much her marriage and divorce have affected her relationships, mainly because we don't know much about it. But you would have to say it obviously has affected her life quite a lot. To what extent we don't really know about. I think that her marriage and weight issues have heavily the person that Cat is today.

So yeah, any conversation Cat has, espically regarding Lawson, i'm going to look at the perspective of her being very insecure rather than her carrying out some plan to destroy the reputation of Lawson. You may have already come to that conclusion without reading this post, you may already think some of my theories are stupid and that i'm an idiot for posting them, but they are just theories, and the fact that we have very little to go on regarding Cat means that theories are all we have.

Nothing is ever "that simple" in the BB house. Do you think for a second Cat would have continued to pursue Lawson had the thought for a second that he didn't want her to? This game they have been playing with each other is a two way street so before you throw Cat under the bus take a look at the situation and consider the circumstances.

I blamed both, but you just happened to read one of my commenet that solely blames Cat. I agree with you that it takes two to tango. I just dont agree with the " you cant help who you love" sentiment bullshit.

You don't get to choose who you fall in love with.

^^ THIS! All of this "They couldn't control it" that we're seeing all over facebook and partly here is a crock of shit. This is real life, not a teen romance. They chose to behave the way they did. There is no other way of looking at it. When it came to the crunch it was will I go for it, get a few jollies and hurt all of these people or will I behave with some integrity and listen to my conscience and they chose to go for it. Lawson showed he knew it was wrong with all of the bawling in the diary room. Whether that was real or put on, deep down he knew he should be contrite, hence the tears. Cat couldn't give a crap either way. Both of them are old enough to know exactly what they were doing. It's not beautiful, it's not uncontrollable, they could have waited 3 or 4 weeks and done things in the right order and everyone would have respected them. Instead they showed what they are made of and it's weak willed and shallow with no integrity. Unfortunately it happens all the time with people but that's no excuse. Knowing others have behaved like dicks, doesn't mean you should. The whole think has had a really grubby undertone from the start.

I believe Cat fully intended to have a relationship in the house regardless, even before she met any of the male housemates. I think she walked through the doors and looked around, targeted Lawson and went straight for him right from the start. She asked advice from a lot of hms whether they thought it was ok to pursue him and totally ignored them when they didn't justify her intent. That's why she got so chummy with Sandra, they were empowering each other. Unfortunately for Sandra, Sam wouldn't play. I think Cat is quite predatory and she chose the right one, the one who responded to some ego stroking and thinks with his dick. I doubt any of the other guys would have done what Lawson did. They are both to blame. Both made the choice and both showed a lack of integrity. She shouldn't have chased him and he shouldn't have let her.

Besides, who would want a dick that would do what he did to his girlfriend. If he did it to her, sooner or later he's going to do it to you too. In the end, they didn't commit murder or anything but it's not really the types of character flaws that are going to do either of them any good in the future by presenting that particular side of themselves to the whole country. But like I said, it was their choice.

Cat is your typical bonafide h]ome wrecking askhole. She asked a lot of advice but never takes them.

Really? Isn't the Mrs Robinson style shock factor of an older woman going after younger "taken" man a bit 1950's in mentality? Also book smarts has zero to do with this. I know people who have many more degrees than Cat, but their LIFE smarts are near nonexistent.

To be perfectly honest Cat does not owe Lawson girlfriend a thing, It was up to Lawson to stop this, he chose not to. I think Cats playing him.

Cat may not know the girl personally granted, but if Cat genuinely cared for Lawson, she'd know what backlash there'd be on HIM by any physical interactions between them that even MIGHT be shown on TV. Clearly she's not LIFE smart enough to remember there's cameras on them 24/7. Crap.. the "secrets" dilemma was a reminder of just that fact so, stupid is as stupid does. Whether she's playing him... I don't know. Perhaps throbbing of the loins took over her brain completely. *shrug*

I agree with you re Lawson though....to a point.
