Housemate #5 TULLY!

It's not fraud. It's just a means to gain public attention. Most players on BB US are very familiar after 15 seasons that showmances, controversy etc means they stay in house longer. Many of them hire PR firms to hype them up by any means necessary to create a buzz. Even if they don't win, if they gain enough notoriety, they end up getting offers for acting, advertisements etc. Plus Ed's family got people to vote by offering a chance to win free date with him. that's totally crossing the line...if true.~!

It's a nice little theory but it would also mean they'd be trying a $250k fraud and if they got caught it wouldn't be nice for them...
 
I want to see what happens with her and Drew, like if she's going to tell Big Brother that she wants to break up with Tahlia, or if they keep pretending they're just friends, or if she really does get pregnant, etc. Also I just like her presence on the show in general. She makes things interesting.
Fair enough. I'm just not the biggest fan of showmances at the best of times so this one has zero appeal for me considering her situation when she entered the house. And I don't want Tahlia dragged into the muck of BB anymore than she already has been as she's made it clear she wants nothing to do with it all so I can only imagine the reaction if Tully broke up with her on air. She'd be dragged right back into the thick of it and while it would definitely make good tv for a second, I'd feel pretty selfish enjoying it knowing it was causing someone else pain. Plus I don't think Tully would have the balls to do that anyway.
 
come on... people had to search it out that wasn't the focal point of that video
It didn't need to be searched out at all. Ben kept looking over at them so it's not like our attention wasn't being drawn there anyway. My point was is it really interesting to see two people make out while the other HMs are engaging with each other as a group? No. That adds nothing to the house nor to our getting to know more about the HMs. Anyway it seems to be a moot point now anyway as it looks inevitable she's gone tonight.
 
To be fair, I think it was just TullylovesDrew's opinion...I don't think they were diagnosing her and asking BB to begin Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or for a prescription of Prozac or anything crazy like that :rolleyes:

You have missed the point. It is the actual opinion which is the problem. Tullylovesdrew has labelled tully as bi-polar, a mental illness which is highly complex. The idea that people think that they can just call people on the internet bi-polar or depressive or whatever so simply like they have both intimate knowledge both of the illness and the person is absurd.
 
Be honest though... with her and Drew now in full loved up mode and not even bothering to hide it anymore, is she really even bringing any excitement to the house? I could understand why you twisted Tully fans (jokes!) or even her haters wanted to keep her around when she was always in meltdown mode because at least that's entertaining in a sick way but now she's just meh. Like how many more vids do we need to see of her and Drew kissing and dancing in the background while the others play tennis?

I know what you're saying, but without that, it's just a video of the others playing tennis. Even though I don't agree, I think not finding their storyline interesting is a completely valid opinion. I just don't think there's a whole hell of a lot else going on in terms of story lines, so I'd like to see it play out a little longer. Pretty sure that's not going to happen, though.

I don't find showmances very interesting in general (JadEd are boring as f*ck), but it's different with Tully because she thinks she has a gf on the outside, so I like watching how she and Drew try to hide their relationship but are also very affectionate in front of the other HMs. Also I think they're actually in love, which is different from JadEd because Ed couldn't care less about Jade.

Tahlia wouldn't have to get involved if Tully broke up with her in the diary room. Tahlia could just try to get on with her life like what she's probably doing now. It wouldn't matter because she's already broken up with her.
 
I would think that Tully and her girlfriend, and maybe some others, set the strategy.

what about her parents, siblings and family friends, were they all in on this strategy as well? Or were they left to just find out about the little plan by watching it on the tv?
Do you not think about how this whole situation has affected them as well?
 
If she is going to be evicted tonight, I wonder if they will show the footage of whatever event occurred last week that spurred her friend to stop supporting her on twitter. I hope they don't water her eviction show down because that will be LAME.

I really hope she goes tonight. As much as I like drama in my BB, I have had enough of her personality and her tears.

I hope she takes something from this experience regarding aspects of her personality that she needs to work on. However, the public perception of her is so negative, with a pack mentality fuelling people to say nastier and nastier things about her. I think this would make it harder for her to realise the real issues, or make it harder to improve her personality based on her time in BB.

Yeah she cheated, and it wasnt the right thing to do, but there's nothing she can do about that after coming out of the house except apologise to the wronged parties. The problem is the personality aspects that were evident even before the drully thing - she comes across as whiny, emotionally manipulative, hypocritical, selfish and self-centred with very little self-awareness. She seems to put most of these flaws down to being 'too empathetic' however empathy does not mean what she thinks it means. She is also a terribly irrational person to argue with - an infuriating combination of flawed logic, bad argument techniques, defensive hyperbole, poor insight into her own behaviour and an inability to admit when she is wrong. Someone needs to give her a copy of The Book of Bad Arguments. If I were her friend or family member, I would strongly recommend she get therapy after this experience. She may actually end up a better person than when she went in. I would also keep an eye on her drinking, because I would not be surprised if she drinks to escape her problems quite frequently - not trying to diagnose her as an alco - but she has some warning signs.
 
I think people saying Tully has some grand master plan are giving her way too much credit. The flipping idiot cannot control basic emotions from one minute to the next and you think she is able to pull off a complicated and quite calculated ruse like this?

I know, it's crazy right?

In any event people are repulsed by her behaviour. What good would that infamy do once she is out of the house I have no idea.

I honestly found it more interesting before they were so open with everything. Looking for signs and decoding their cryptic talk in front of the cameras... even them hiding under the towel in the bathroom. I didn't approve of any of it considering the circumstances but it was still more entertaining for me as a BB fan. And yet if it weren't for the situation with Tahlia, it wouldn't have been entertaining for me at all. Just another random couple hooking up for a few weeks on BB which we've seen countless times before. I have enough loved up couples to view in the real world should I feel the need to... I guess I just don't find it interesting to watch on tv as well.

Its a high risk strategy for a high risk girl. The danger is that what will happen is what is happening: That Australia, as the first step of implementing Sharia Law as the national code, will evict her.
 
Tullylovesdrew, whilst you are definitely not the first one guilty of giving arm-chair diagnosis to people you barely know on the internet, nor will you be the last, it is incredibly arrogant and ignorant to do so. I doubt that you are either a psychiatrist or a psychologist, and even if you were in that profession to flippantly give such diagnosis with such scant knowledge of the person i wouldn't think much of your professionalism.
In fact you are the one who is short on facts, I didn't diagnose her with anything, others have accused her of being bi-polar, I simply said I like her regardless and that she is a far more interesting part of the show than the sisters.
If you choose to attack me again I will return the favor, it's not necessary.

Infamy has helped Jasmine Lennard. She needs to rack off but keeps popping up in the brit tabloids.

I don't think Tully is playing a grand master plan simply because she, being a long time fan of BB, knows the public hate criers. The crying could have seen her time in BB come to and end like week 1 2 or 3.

The public cannot hate criers too much. She survived weeks 1, 2 and 3.

Bingo. Although I never approved of it due to the fact that Tully had a girlfriend, I could see why the whole Drully thing was somewhat interesting a while ago when they were sneaking around and questioning where they stood together. However now that they're open about it and are acting like a couple they hold about as much interest to fans as Jade/Ed or Sam/Layla from last season. In fact they're probably more boring than JadEd because we never get to see each of them without the other.

The idea that people think that they can just call people on the internet bi-polar or depressive or whatever so simply like they have both intimate knowledge both of the illness and the person is absurd.

None of this changes the fact that people do have the right to opinions - freedom of speech. No good complaining about it on a public forum where opinions are the whole point.
 
Does Tully actually think she will go back with her GF, or is she thinking she will be with Drew when BB is over?
I know Tully and Drew have hinted at things but last night she was talking about her 25th birthday, and how Tahlia was so romantic etc.
Is she planning on dumping her GF, or waiting to see what Drew does when he's evicted? Or does she still think Drew was just her support/bestfriend and comfort while she was in the house, and doesn't really think she was closing the line, apart from those few sneaky kisses?

I guess we might find out the answers in the next few days after she's evicted, and if she gets back with Tahlia soon or not.
