I would have laid into him too, it had gone on for ages and she'd explained umpteen times and Sam wouldn't let it lie. She told him quite a few times she didn't want to go over it again, but he still continued with it after they had already worked the tokens out and had all agreed. Corin was right that she would have enough tokens left, Sam was insistent she wouldn't and she wasn't a team player. In the end Corin had more than enough tokens to pass the task, Josie, Sam and Dave failed the task, not Corin.

Unfortunately she lets herself down with her pathetic air head routine - if she just behave like a normal person I wouldn't mind her at all but for some reason she seems to want everyone to think she is a bit thick!!

How does a normal person behave?

don't take it so literally - ie - natural rather than a put on persona!

she is thick

Is it routine?  She's very repetitive and inane, which suggests not much is going on upstairs.

it is a very put on act - that much is clear to see - she has a lot more intelligence than you are giving her credit for - you are all allowing yourselves to be duped by her unfortunately!

I dispute the insinuation that Corin has put on a persona for almost 10 weeks.  If you don't like her personality then fair enough, but to suggest her personality is an act, at this late stage of the series, would mean she must be some kind of brilliant actress.

And yet, Josie gets accused of this, regularly!

Awww, she's not thick. She's just a little shallow. Besides, she has more emotional intelligence and empathy than JJ1 and Dave put together.

  It's not a very well thought out excuse for disliking someone.  You can get away with accusations of acting during the first few weeks, but after that we should really assume that we're seeing the real deal.

How do you know you are not the one under a huge misapprehension?
There are people like Corin in the world.. happy sweet funny disingenuous people.
Doesn't make them fake.

What you see is what you get with Corin..there`s nothing false (apart from the obvious ) about her. She`s being herself.

She`s not the sharpest tool in the box but she`s got a lot of common sense.
She`s always there to give sound advice to anyone who`s feeling down or having problems.

She`s funny, kind and caring. My type of person!

Well, thank God you turned up to warn us! 

I don't think any of them are hiding their personalities Blizzie, after all these weeks this is how they are in that kind of environment. Maybe they behave differently in the outside world, but under observation 24/7 their good and bad traits come out in every house mate. 

I know you support Josie and I don't, but I agree with you about her. She's clinging to false hopes because he's gave her very mixed signals and she's insecure thinking she can't pull him.His body language with her contradicts everything that he says to her IMO.

I am relieved - thats for sure.

Not by me Blizzie. I think Josie`s being who she is too.

Josie wears every single emotion on her sleeve... and she is 100% being herself.

remember 'I've got skin of steel, me' ?

I don't dislke the girl I just think she lets herself down

and she's just gonna have to live with that 

She's let Teacher down, she's let the whole class down but most importantly she's let herself down

Why has she let herself down?

Did she used to be a model or something. Because one day in the garden she was saying she used to be looked after by Max Clifford.

Maybe he used to babysit when she was little?

She started working at MK1 when she left school, she worked her way up to assistant manager and only left the job recently due to redundancy.  According to her Mam.

By putting on a fake persona!

By duping us into thinking she's a lovely, sweet, funny down to earth girl.  Apparently

The thought did cross my mind but they were talking about acting and stuff and I remember wondering why would Max be looking after her.

Oh I see - so do you know Corin outside the house then to be able to substantiate this?
As I said earlier there are sweet funny disingenuous people in the world.
She is herself - if you do not like that then that is absolutely fine. But don't accuse someone of being fake when they have done nothing to deserve that title.

So you also know her to know she is not putting on a fake persona then do you?


As I have already said I DO NOT dislkie her I just think she could come across much better if she dropped the air head act!!

Corin is a sunny person - she is in there for the experience, she throws herself into tasks and she does not take sh1t.
I am curious to know what you find fake about her.

I know it's bad form to be a grammar nazi or whatever but I don't think that's the word you mean...disingenuous means insincere.

Sorry for being an arse.

Exactly she does throw herself into tasks etc so why does she have to have this side to her where she pretends to be an airhead - ie he way she has acted over JJ she's making herself look pathetic

Human being in multi faceted personality shocker

LOL 

It's fine leccy - I am always getting the wrong words...the trouble is I have used that word a lot in other threads.

I wonder what word I want?

I think she has got mixed up in the whole romance business - I also think she has given herself a good talking to.

possibly gregarious Issy. It means enjoying the company of others  (opposite of JJ1 who hates just about everybody who isn't him!).
