Day 37: Will the real Sara please stand up
We previously discussed how Sara has very much been a Floater in the House - could this be a reason why she's managed to avoid the public vote so far? And where does she actually fit in the House?
Looking back at Sara’s pre-entry video, she professes, "I lose my temper very easily, adding, "I don't actually realise I'm doing it, it takes over me" - a claim that is rather questionable. Apart from some minor disagreements, it’s safe to say that she’s managed to stay out of most of the slanging matches in the House.
She also seems to avoid bitching sessions - you rarely see her sitting around, giving her two pennies worth on another housemate. Instead, she's very diplomatic in her approach at dealing with issues. If she's annoyed with someone, she simply airs the problem with the person, sorts it out and moves on - Not exactly the behaviour of a hot-headed person.
So is Sara just a really bad judge of herself, and actually she's not as volatile as she thinks. Or, rather cynically, is this part of a game plan to stay under the radar until finale week?
It's interesting to note that she has only received four nominations since being in the House - three of which were in the first week. Most of the reasons stemmed from her acting silly when she’s drunk, rather than a problem with her in general.
But what does she actually bring to the House? She's a good friend to Becky, and more recently Deana.She was a fleeting love interest to Arron and she can be very entertaining when pushed on the subject of the Queen. Other than that, she hasn't really rocked the boat or kept the housemates entertained.
As the weeks draw on and the numbers start dwindle, will we start to see more of Sara? Or will she continue to sit back and let the action play out around her? Either way, we feel like we need to see more of the Miss Edinburgh before a true judgement can be made.
