Having watched Natalie in the past on various seasons of Bad Girls Club, her manipulative ways are something we've only seen at around 30% in CBB so far. We've not yet seen her really hit her limit and go off the deep end, and that's something viewers deserve! It won't be the show's finest moment, and it will undoubtedly lead to her being evicted from the show, but it's why we tune in!

 

I've also gotta stick up for Natalie. Asking everybody about their storms - which are pivotal to the entire theme of the series - isn't a crime. Ryan Thomas jumping down her throat as soon as she asked the question, then sitting back and watching chaos rain down on Natalie as she faced attacks from Dan Osborne and Jermaine Pennant, only chiming in with comments such as "so negative", was uncomfortable viewing.

 

This kind of rhetoric when it comes to a woman of colour who's unafraid to be herself and ask questions of those she's living with will only lead to her feeling ostracised down the line. Whilst it likely has nothing to do with the colour of her skin, Natalie has every right to feel that it might do exactly that, especially so when words are being put in her mouth and she's being labelled as "aggressive" and "intimidating", simply because of the volume of her speech. It may not be a "race thing", but it may indeed be a gender issue.

 

If Natalie is sent packing, and all we've got to look forward to this summer is seeing the "lads" cackling because Jermaine (who apparently has a significant other) can crawl on his knees like a dog, and lick Chloe Ayling's bare thigh before howling, then it's going to be an incredibly testing series indeed.

I would say Ryan as he hasn't offered much in there.

I don't think thinj shes all that aggressive, just loud and opinionated. I think the article Jase posted sums it up well. I'm so bored of females with big personalities being labelled "aggressive" - the same happened with Hannah last year and it's bullshit.

I just don't see the aggressive thing at all. She's loud and opinionated but has she actually got into someone's face? Made threats of violence?

 

If she was going round acting like Alexandra from BB9 then I'd understand the aggressive comments but she isn't so..

I think tonight's just proved that she is aggressive (and that's not a word I throw around much, to use your example I would never have said it about Hannah). She yelled right in Chloe's face about a complete non-issue.

 

What a ridiculous outburst, I can't believe she blew up over something so minor?

There IS a problem with black female representation/perception on reality shows e.g. Deborah and Hannah were in no way what the words aggressive etc represent.

 

However, that does not mean every black female gets a pass because of this existing problem. Natalie has been aggressive, she has been intimidating - shouting her head off non-stop after next to no aggrivation. She just had probably a half hour rant, unprovoked because someone set down on a chair in wet clothes!! She walked away and CAME BACK to directly shout at someone who hadn’t said anything to her.

Well we ALL know the Helen Wood situation was atrocious. It doesn’t mean they now need to let every thing pass? Plus the production team has changed, probably multiple times.

Natalie had a point about just cleaning up after yourself but she totally went off on one about the most minor thing and then completely lost she point... it’s a chair, she doesn’t own it, it’s in the house, and she has just screamed at someone for it.

 

In saying that, I’d much rather see Natalie blowing up than Dan and co’s shit banger and Gabby whining moping and crying...

Agreed. Two wrongs don't make a right.
