In the context of that particular game of 'Spin the Bottle' (which, granted, was fairly disorganised, you either do these things according to the rules, or not at all, I guess,) she could, as far as the Doblin rapper's candy kiss went, have 'just said no.'
You reckon? Didn't she try that? "I'm not going to kiss you, Spiral" - he was having none of it. Sooo, in the face of growing petulance, Aisleyne offered a face-saving peck on the lips. Which, t'was clear, was not enough.
So for teh Scoirlet Woman to then turn round, having made her lack of interest in the pair of them pretty clear to the camera, the other housemates, etc (those eyes were fairly obviously rolled) and go at it with Pete and Nikki, and expect that not to cause problems seemed a bit much.
There's "problems" and there's the expectation that one engage in full-on tongue-hockey with someone one doesn't want to swap saliva with - who is becoming increasingly sulky in their demands. I think your assertion that she performed "to the camera" is pretty standard DS fare, and to be taken with a pinch of powdered bollocks.
All right, she'd had a couple of drinks, but it seemed another example of something she's actually only okay at, which is playing around with the idea of who's 'in with Aisleyne' and who isn't.
I don't think so at all. I think it seemed like an example of Who Does Aisleyne Want To Snog, and the fact that Spoiral clearly felt he was entitled, somehow, to taste her adenoids does not mean she wanted to nor was obliged to go with it. Neither was she obliged to remain orally chaste with other Housemates simply because she hadn't snogged Spoiral. I don't think he actually owns her tonsils.
In spite of all the tears etc, I'm not sure she's changed her opinion of Nikki one iota since her eviction week, for example.
Not the point. The point is, she hasn't simply festered in I-hates-her-I-does bitchery with others while refusing to confront the problem. Whether or not her opinion of Nikki has changed, she's attempted to address things with her, willingly admitted fault and apologised fulsomely for her behaviour towards Nikki in the days before her 'eviction'. In the absence of comprehensively-trained Thought Police, I don't think we can then castigate Aisleyne for her innermost opinion.
And she doesn't seem to speak to Michael much at all these days, for all she used to 'love' him, babes.
Oh, please. If we're searching for Reasons Aisleyne's Two-Faced, this is desperately barrel-scraping. Housemates declaring 'love' for all and sundry is common currency, and was particularly widespread in the House v2.0 before 'evictions' began. Michael, in particular, was and is rather gushy about 'loving' all and sundry, and seems to talk to everyone (gravitating, possibly, to Jayne). I don't see a great deal of friction or cold-shouldering between he and Aisleyne, and think this is a somewhat manufactured observation on your part.
When Richard and Susie are around, again with the waterworks, Glyn must miss the spe-cial times they had together, when it was 'a la-ugh,' before she'd dismissed him as an operative force in the house, and while there's no reason why she *should* be nice to any of the people she's on TV with, the idea that she's any more, I don't know, rational than any of them seems a little odd, IMVHO.
Again, I'm not really seeing this particular slant on Aisleyne's Richard/Suzie-directed crying, or what Glyn "must miss". The House is four Housemates bigger again, "it's just like it was at the beginning". New groupings have formed and I don't get the implication that Aisleyne's failing to be "nice" to anyone here.
I think she's comparitively rational in the sense of not getting swept away on flights of paranoid fantasy, being able to self-examine, actively seeking to address and thus reduce conflict and possessing the maturity to recognise when she might be at fault and apologise.
As with Nikki and Lea, albeit for different reasons, Pete seems correct to approach her with caution. If Pete's goal, as it surely must be now, is to get out of that place without making any serious enemies (who'd want to be on the wrong end of a plastered Lea at an awards ceremony; who'd like to try and cope with a jealous, angry Nikki in that situation,) then Aisleyne, who in any case would, I suspect, chuck his poor, saintly heart down the nearest convenience without a second glance the minute it started to beat for hers, would appear to be off limits.
This is projection, based on dodgy speculation of what Housemates might be like outside the House, and what motivates them therein. Pete, in particular, is tricky to assess in this way, as he's so passive and reactive to others. He's 'snuggled' beneath the duvet with four women and snogged three (I think he snogged Lisa); it's been made clear to him that all find him attractive; he's agreed to go on a 'date' with one.
If anyone's being a cocktease (or 'clit-tease') here, it's Pete - and, in our speculation as to who might break whose heart outside the House, it might be useful to consider the various current 'girlfriends' of Pete, making distinctly weaselly half-claims in the tabloid press. |
