Well at the moment Im firmly in the I Love Cleo camp. She is stunningly attractive, has a personality to match, is gentle and kind and has a lot of dignity.

She comforted Jade after Jackiey's departure, but knew when to step back.

She told Leo off in dignified tones about his excessive use of bad language (not that he apologised or took any notice).

Yes, she overreacted in the diary room to Jackiey's departure by sobbing, but as has been said, it was the champagne talking and the fact that she believed Jackiey to be a wee bit more vulnerable than she is. I think they saw Jackiey as a childlike person, which in some ways she was, but complexly she was also a tough ol boot that could look after herself.

I liked the fact that she told Shilpa off for dissing Dirk "because he is old"...... in fact the more I think about it Cleo would be an ideal match for Dirk.

Finally, when Carole Malone started pressing Cleo for details about Kenny Everett, Cleo admitted in the garden that she would have married him, knowing he was gay and that there wouldnt be a sexual relationship and that he was her soul mate, taken away from her too soon.

When Carole pressed her further (turning instantly from friend into a typical prying journo), Cleo started to cry quietly........ Unable to resist, Carole pressed home the advantage and pried even more and at that point, Cleo said in a dignified voice, "Please stop. Im not prepared to answer any more questions about Ken. And that is that"..... Carole shut her mouth immediately.

Id love Cleo to win this.

Well, call me cynical, but I just don't believe anyone is that nice, that understanding and that tolerant.

She had been my favourite up until her pathetic blubbing in the diary room about Jackay going into the night without her shoes like some poor Dickensian waif, and would BB look after her (!)(?) - WTF? Did she think they would throw her out on the big bad streets all on her own instead of being picked up in a limo and pandered to? She really got on my nerves then and think she is playing a game now being all nicey nicey so as the public will like her. Pah!:evilmad:

Well we will have to wait and see if Cleo is playing a game. If she stays in the house a long time, it will be evident that she is. No-one can keep up an act for a month.

I like Cleo too. Her, Dirk and Jo seem like the only decent people in there.

Well, call me cynical, but I just don't believe anyone is that nice, that understanding and that tolerant.

people who are desparate to be liked are! :)

I quite like Cleo, but I do think she is trying too hard.

Does she remind anyone else of the Joker off batman the way the corners of her lips are upturned?! I think of it everytime I see her!

She is just so besotted with Dirk, don't you think?

And who can blame her...

I agree. Im sure that as soon as Shilpa is evicted, she will start sidling up to Dirk.
They'd make a very handsome couple.

I am not overly impressed with Cleo now. I think her ar$e must be very sore from sitting on the fence. Why did she just sit there and let the girls slag Shilpa off for blocking the toilet instead of saying something. Admitedly it was a bloody stupid thing to do, but why didn't Cleo defend her and say somethingl ike "well she didn't realise it would do that"...

Actually Cleo is going down in my estimations too - although mainly for her association with the three witches. She just sits there listening to their hateful comments .... and says / does nothing. I want her to grow a backbone and stick up for whoever their target of the hour is.

I too have totally gone off Cleo. She is a wet lettuce and another one in thrall to/scared of the ghastly Jade and yes she does look like the joker from batman.

Cleo has got a good heart but she obviously hates conflict. She has tried to help Shilpa though by offering her advice and support, albeit out of ear shot of the witches.

Cleo REALLY needs to grow a backbone.

I think Cleo, who had such a good start, has shown herself to be absolutely pathetic. With friends like her who would need an enemy?

She could have won this if she had had the guts to speak up and say what was right. I am not saying she should take sides but she has been far too “matey” with the obnoxious crew when she was well aware of how upset Shilpa was, its just so wrong!
