she is always popular, no other HM can wreck up an appreciation thread of 103 pages 

I was thinking about this the other day, what if people were sending in votes for Benjamin by texting Ben? What would happen? Like on X-Factor a few years ago they had a Jacqui and some people might have been voting with 'Jackie' or whatever.
Oh crap. Just sent in today's votes with copy and paste. Realized I sent in a whole bunch of 'Eatelle' oops. Will that still count?
Realised I have $30 to spend on my prepaid mobile and 3 days to use it. Asked my 9 year old if I should use it to vote on BB, and he said "You should save that nice girl on Big Brother, because nice people should win things" Bless his little heart.
60 votes coming your way Estelle
This is going to sound soppy as all hell but i cant believe what an emotional moment it was form me to watch Estelle cry when getting to listen to her song after choosing to give ben a hour of music.
I would honest-to-'higher entity' love to have Estelle as a friend of mine. There arent enough people in this world who put others above themselves and im sick of supposed 'friends' of mine who at the first hint of sinking, jump in the 1 man raft and leave you to sink.
Wow.. To think that big brother could actually tug at the heartstrings 'shawshank redemption' style!
The music thing makes me wonder if Estelle will go, or is close to going.
I think at this stage we can assume BB does want her to stay in a little longer. However that whole moment was manufactured. I do wonder if it was done as an attempt to get her more votes so she stays.
Why do people in the house dislike her so much? I watch and she seems just fine. I root for her primarily bc she is the underdog and hate how they gang up on her when it comes to nominations and talking behind her back
When I found out Estelle was going into the house, I said to my husband "she's going to annoy the shit out of the housemates" not because she's weird or odd etc but because she is always extremely positive, happy, loud and out going. These are by no means bad traits, but when you are stuck in a house, under a lot of pressure, it could get annoying having someone who is constantly happy. I know that if i was in a bad mood or just wanted some quiet time to think, someone jumping around, singing, dancing, and being crazy would piss me off and I would probably snap and say "shut up!" In saying that, I don't think this justifies the treatment that Estelle has received from her housemates! (Not to mention Stacey, Michael and Ben all act like children high on red cordial yet haven't been treated like freaks) I believe that Estelle got off on the wrong foot (talking over the top of people, which she has now stopped doing) and now she is simply their scapegoat. The housemates now just find any excuse to bitch about Estelle because its common ground between them all.
Ben and Michael target Estelle/Angie/Sam and Layla because they have a very clear game plan of removing the so called "weak" housemates.
Angie targets Estelle because she believes she is her main competition for Alpha female. (Layla, Zoe , Stacey) have all just nodded and agreed with anything Angie has said, but Estelle challenges Angie when she disagrees. I wouldnt believe ANYTHING Angie says because she is clearly very manipulative and bias toward Estelle.
Zoe, Layla and Stacey simply follows the trend of the house or the conversation, That's why we constantly see them contradicting themselves.
Like when Ben was talking to Stacey in the bathroom a few weeks ago and Ben said he really liked estelle but could see why people didnt like her and Stacey said "really? I can't see what people find wrong with her?". Or when both Zoe and Layla said that they never gave Estelle a chance and disliked her based on Angie's comments but had since realised that they get on really well with her.
Personally I'm happy that Estelle is so outgoing and quirky, otherwise she would be extremely lonely and depressed after the treatment she has received. Just look at the way Angie has acted latterly and she hasn't receive even half of the negativity that Estelle has.
