I don't like to disagree with you Sticky because I find that most of the time we read it all pretty much the same way.
In this case however I must protest. Laura might be a game player but isn't that what it's all about? And if she was able to cover up her tactics to a great extend when compared to Jackson or pretty much everybody else, the better for her. It shows that her grey cells are still intact.
To sum this up, game playing or not, Laura and Andy (again) are for me the most sincere people in the house. Evelyin often comes a close third when she doesn't stumble.
...haha!... I don't mind you disagreeing with me at all Dystopia lol!... in fact... I encourage it because I am by no means correct all of the time lol!...the thing that gives me the irrits about Laura is that I didn't give a flying fig about her dalliance with Marco... that was her business but ever since that time with him (because she mistakenly thought that he would be in it until the end as did a lot of people)... she hooked up with him to go along for the ride... but again... that's fine with me... I still liked her at that point regardless...
...when Marco was the first one out (thank god) she was devastated... the coat tails that she was going to ride on went out the door with Marco... knowing this she then latched onto Evelyn... (the prettiest girl in the house to everybody within in house) to ride on her coat tails... she then has chosen to slowly snipe away in the background via gossip and the Diary Room at people like Jason and Andy... two of the greater 'game players' within the house while protesting that she herself was not 'playing the game'... she's been 'playing the game' from day one!... but she refuses to admit that she is... even though it is so blatantly obvious that she is... the boos from the crowd makes this so blatantly obvious that they are onto her gameplay yet she still proclaims her innocence!...
...contrary to what she thinks... THE PUBLIC are not stupid... those boos were their message to her that they are onto her and she has come to realise that... hence her outburst in the Diary Room with saying to THE PUBLIC "you are so mean!... so mean!... SO FUCK YOU!".... another thing...THE PUBLIC also know that she really believes that she is condemning them because she hitched up with Marco in the first place and that she was crucified for starting that 'romance' in the first place... why do you think that she instantly latched onto Evelyn so quickly when Marco left?... it was because she saw a chance to crucify her too to throw her under a bus... she figured that if she forced Evelyn and Alex into a 'romance' that they would be sacrificed too... to kill 2 main rivals with one foul swoop... but that didn't work no matter how hard she tried... THE PUBLIC (as did I) saw straight through that and have called her out on it lol!...
...she would not hesitate to kill Evelyn and Alex in order to remain in the house... no hesitation at all!...phase 2 of her strategy was to put the nail in Jason's coffin after he took that £20,000... she knew that the housemates and some people on the outside of the house would be baying for his blood for being so smart to do what he did so she pounced on that fact to to try and get rid of him in the aftermath of it... her plea in the Diary Room for them to vote Jason out was so pathetic... hence the reason that Jason was saved and she was on the podium to vote out... she died a thousand deaths on that podium... her ego was shattered... her gameplan was in total shreds and her 'playing the game' was fully exposed to not only us... THE PUBLIC but also to the housemates that are intelligent enough to understand what is going on with her (Jason/Andy and Jayne at least lol!)... then during that desperate plea she has the hide to call Jason 'sly'!... well that was the icing on the cake for me and probably most of THE PUBLIC too... hence her punishment...
...she is in 'panic mode' now because she knows that THE PUBLIC have it in for her now no matter what she says or does from here onwards... they are baying for her blood and she doesn't really understand as to why which is more tragic for her in my opinion anyway... even during Ryan's eviction just after he walked out the door she analysing what had gone wrong for her... she was asking the other housemates what she has done wrong even while Ryan was still walking down the steps towards Emma lol!... she was devastated... and so she should be!... the silly girl... what?... did she forget that the cameras pick up EVERYTHING that she says and does?... and saying "you're so mean!... so mean!... SO FUCK YOU!" to THE PUBLIC is just committing public suicide to me... and you know what?... I don't really care either... she will probably be the next one out of the house so no great loss to me at least...
...but having said all of that... she is very intelligent but quite stupid in thinking that she is smarter than the viewing public... she should have known better really... at the beginning of this series I quite liked her... even during that Marco dalliance but I saw the other side of her more or less straight after that and didn't like what I was seeing... especially the sinister setting up of the Evelyn and Alex romance in order to see them both fall... or so she thought... that was just plain nasty to me... lets be honest here... being a 'gameplayer is what Big Brother is all about... it has to be!... anyone that says that they are not are just kidding themselves and are just lying to us.... so we all have to just take that with a grain of salt don't we?... but to protest your innocence as Laura continues to do even though she has been exposed to doing it is just insulting our intelligence... that is what I don't like... anyhow... enough of my babblings about Laura lol!...
