I have a soft spot for Shell, I will freely admit. But I am concerned by the company she keeps. The longer she spends with Vanessa, the more Vanessa seems intent on making Shell into her doppelganger and smothering any manifestations of Shell's own personality or thoughts.
This, as far as I have noticed, has led to some viewers seeing Shell with the same scorn they keep for Vanessa. What I am wondering is, if (when?) Vanessa is evicted on Friday, is there a chance for Shell to turn things around? She seems to like the other half of the house, and they don't seem to have as much venom reserved for her as they do for Vanessa, Victor or (sometimes) Dan.
Apparently earlier on today Vanessa was saying that she plans to continue nominating Marco and Nadia until she is rid of them, and then she will aim to get Emma and Michelle out. Vanessa said that she'd rather have Victor in the house than Emma because "at least he's talkable to" (?). Shell tried to say on several occasions that she'd rather have Emma, but Vanessa shouted her down and wouldn't let her finish.
Is there hope for Shell? I like her and I don't want Vanessa to be her downfall.

I think Shell will be fine. Nadia has just given Shell a magnificent and very sincere apology for her involvement and Shell was accepting it graciously.
I also have a soft spot for her, I think she seems the most sensible out of the lot despite her few mad points she seems vulnerable but under control.
The sooner Vanessa leaves the better.

Shell is the worst housemate in there. She is the biggest loser ever, i mean crying because someone made a joke about you not having cigarettes? She's a moany, whiny, uninteresting little geek with no place in the house. At least Victor brings a little personality to the house, he's funny and causes the most drama. Emma though is just too stupid and loud to be funny and so needs to go. ASAP. Followed by shell. Victor, Jason or Stuart to win.

I'm not sure that Shell is quite the innocent she pretends. All this "Ooh I'm just a free spirit running around in my knickers" is a pile of pants. She knows what she's at!
I do think she is being squashed by the louder members of the group but maybe this is something that she is allowing to happen in order to stop herself from sticking out too much at the beginning.
Still, best BB ever. Shell's last-year-equivalent was Nush who was nowhere near as entertaining.

I'm hoping Shell, unable to copy Vanessa's clothes day in day out will resort to going naked and mowing the lawn again.
But having watched an awful lot of live coverage I can safely say Shell has no personality and certainly no thoughts of her own.
Though she's now 2nd favourite to win behind Stuart.

My problem with Shell is I can't reconcile how she looks in her official picture with the way she looks on the telly. When I first saw her, it was in the tabs, with her official picture. From how she looks there -- straight laced, a little ra-ra -- I can't make the connection with the boho hippy thing she's got going.
Was she made over when they knew she was going on the show?

I think it's more likely she was made over for her official photo - the producers want her to seem the artistic intellectual posh hard-working student and so dress her in a black polo neck and slick her hair back. Then she gets into the house and can't blow-dry her hair and does nothing but lie about in a hot garden all day, thus goes for the sloppy hippy-chick look. It's pretty consistent with being a rah-ish student I think.

From little comments she keeps making I think Shell is a rah-ish person who doesn't have any money. It was her comment that she needs the prize money that made Kitten leave.
She has the accent but not the finances to back it up.
According to holymoly she also cries when she climaxes. I presume this doesn't apply to doing it on her own.
According to Shell she also can't go without sex and masturbates at least once a day. Which must be lovely for Vanessa lying next to her in that double bed.
Oh she's said she tried frigging herself twice on Wednesday but people kept disturbing her to get the shopping list.
For future reference when she's "napping" in the afternoon she isn't usually "napping".
