Sorry for starting all these name threads, but I find it easier this way.
So, Is Lesley real?
Very dry humour and obviously a wind up which is all good fun but I do find it slightly difficult to believe that such a woman would apply to go on BB - where did they find her? Has she been prompted?
She really seems to know what she's doing in there, but it seems so calculated to me that I can't think people will take her to heart and ever vote to keep her in.
It seems she's used every trick so far in manipulating people, passive agressive in getting people to do things for her, outright lies about her age and a fair bit of cheek, was pissing in the shower part of her plan?

Well this is what I was thinking. But if she really had a plan (or was a plant?) she would prepare better wouldn't she? If you're going to tell a lie about your age, wouldn't you straight away work out what year you are pretending you were born? It's the obvious way you are going to get caught out if you don't.
I'm not sure I believe the piss in the shower, but if it's true, then it's got to be part of a game plan of some sort. Every year there is talk about an actor going in, and it's never very credible. And yet I wonder about Lesley...

If you're going to tell a lie about your age, wouldn't you straight away work out what year you are pretending you were born? I'm surprised none of them figured out that if she was 72 she was born in 1935 and if her "husband" fought in D-Day she was married at 12.

She is completely and utterly crackers. I love her though, I hope she doesn't walk.

Back on the 'urinegate' thing, I was amused that having allegedly pissed in the shower, she says she wants to design her own collection of clothes for the older woman, saying something like, 'there's a gap in the market for women who are still somewhat continent!' I hope I haven't misheard that or I'll be very disappointed!
And just on that point, I doubt Charley realises there are very few women of Lesley's age who would be able to control their bladders, especially around running water. having been locked away for weeks she won't have seen 'Embarrassing Illnesses'

Okay Lesley - I think the fact she used to be a comedienne can explain why her dialogue or 'interactions' at this stage feel quite wooden. I hope she gets over this and relaxes more - surely the best lines are spontaneous. I mean, I know I have my own 'lines' that get an airing over a certain duration, but it just seems a bit silly to be so mannered and contrived about it. I think she will be okay though, especially when she finds her stride within the group and the other girls begin relying on her as a woman of reason.
I loved her contention towards whoever it was about D-Day and how composed about it she was - excellent to be bored of the pink enthusiasm being passed off as a personality trait. I remember bonding with a flatmate at halls when my eyes locked with her when this other girl said 'I just love pink' in that abrupt way that they think demands a reaction of marvel.

Oh yeah, does she remind anyone else of Anne Robinson? I love her for that reason alone.

Nooooooooooooooo! I hope they replace her with someone else a bit older for Tracey and/or Carole to bond with, cos I can see Tracey walking soon if not.

I hope Lesley is over her desire to walk because she has totally owned the last two nights' highlights shows. I love her bitchy little asides, especially as they are directed at the right targets (Emily, Charley, Shabzzz). And she and Ziggy are cute together (although not together in a sick and wrong Becca/Justin way)

Let's be honest, it's much more Tony/Mrs C than Becca Justin.

From the last part of Grace Dent's latest blog on the Radio Times website, this explains why Lesley is fabulous:
'I adore Lesley at the moment because, despite being snotty and uppity, she says things out loud in the house that I'd love to break in and shout. I'll leave you with Lesley's thoughts on the youth of today, as represented in Big Brother…
"They want to be stars! Hah! Well, when they're Madonna or whatever…don't they see that those sort of people have to have meetings!? Negotiations! Move their butts! Have energy! There is no way they're EVER going to succeed in life. They've got no energy, no stamina, they're not intellectually curious!
"They don't ask questions. They just moan and moan and moan! They are the most boring girls I have ever met! Don't tell me you're going to be a star, because if I was running a corner shop I wouldn't have you!" '

I love how her, Ziggy and Carol are planning optional lecture evenings where all the housemates can talk to the other housemates about what they believe in. I think that's a brilliant idea - I love Lesley!

Lesley is ace. She's clever and very funny. She does seem to be a bit like a headmistress at a school trip. I like how she runs the house and how she deals with the others. Her comments about the others are usually right on the money as well.

It's such a shame when they walk - I think Lesley could have stayed in for a long time if not been a winner.
Oh well.

Shame, although it does get my goat when clever people go in, claiming to have never seen the programme before, then complain that it's dull and full of really strange people.
If you were so clever, you'd at least do a bit of bloody research

O what have we lost? I'm accidentally watching Diary Room Uncut (My Name is Nicholas and I Am Addicted to Big Brother - I know I said I wouldn't be, but you know, shit happens) - she said to Gerry:
"Never have I been so happy to see a Greek gay".

Bloody Seany. I blame him. And stupid BB for their utter laziness in giving them bugger-all to do. Some tasks are needed in that house, stat.
I was willing her to stay on the highlights show, even knowing she's already gone. Her goodbyes were ruddy lovely.

Lesley patted Nicky so many times on the back when she was leaving, I was sure she was sending out morse code.
