Noirin is gaining lots of airtime, Angel is perceived as a strange, mysterious, interesting character, Karly looks like a dark horse with potential staying power, and Lisa has filled the role central to everything that happens in the house.
Sophie currently looks peripheral to the group, with only her attachment to Kris giving her a position of security at present. We don’t really know how strong her other friendships are. The HL show does indicate that she mixes with everyone, and is well like by her fellow housemates. If the house conflicts disappear, those contributing least to the group will be well and truly on the radar when nominations come round.
Despite this, her odds have steadily improved this week, although no great indicator as yet, it does show that she hasn’t been entirely forgotten. Angel and Noirin currently look like the strongest candidates if the bookies are to be believed, but this is such a long series, and we are still very much at the outset. It takes so little for a female housemate to go from heroine to villain, and there are so many twists and traumas between now and the finale that the pecking order could change. However, Karly does look like the one that could launch a strong challenge, possibly later in the series.
With her relationship with Kris generating little interest, and with Angel, Noirin and Karly all looking likely to bring more to the table than Sophie, what can she do to establish herself as a stronger housemate?
Although I have never expected Sophie to be anything more than an early evictee, I do think it would be a shame to lose her at this time. BB has a knack of finding contestants that surprise, or even change our perceptions; I believe that Sophie has done this to an extent with her seeming lack of ego.
What really fascinates me isn’t related to her chosen career, nor her looks; but the transition that she is going through between adolescence and young adulthood. It’s too simplistic to say she’s done naughty photo-shoots in a hardnosed industry - therefore she must be worldly-wise. For instance, we don’t know how much she still relies upon her mum, and if she has ever been separated from the family unit for such a period of time before. Despite those naughty pictures, for all we know so far, she could be the least worldly and most innocent of the entire group!
I want to see how Sophie handles the pressure that we know BB will throw at the housemates sooner or later. Regardless of what she lacks in the way of conversation and intellect, I see a person that I want to know more about, and I think it will be a massive disappointment should she end up as just another sacrificial lamb, under used, and under estimated by a show currently failing on so many levels.
