You may think i'm mad.......

Her neurosis may have just been first week's nerves that may now start to dissipate (similar to JJ's anger).

Highly unlikely in both cases Henry.
Much more likely that they'll grow the longer she's in there.

I was impressed with the way she calmly tore Ben and his pomposity apart in an argument yesterday, though.
She's intelligent, fairly astute and not one to b1tch much.
Qualities that are likely to win her fans on DS.

So you're not totally mad, HF ;)

But 90% of the audience are never going to like someone who whines so much and is so self absorbed

Crikey I thought she was dreadful in that altercation with Ben yesterday afternoon.  Her biggest problem being that she just goes on and on and on and won't let up, going over the same old ground for ever.

I actually imagined her being your GP.  You go to see her with you illness, she tells you she's offended by you wasting her time with that and spends the rest of the time banging on about her own problems and issues.

Massive lack of a sense of humour too.

I caught a bit of that that altercation with Ben and remember thinking he was very young. You can't possibly win an argument like that with a woman. You have to just accept you're wrong and walk away.

was just thinking how she has no chance of winning. Would be impossible surely. Too many insecurities.

I'm not sure she is the type of person that will turn the haters around. She has been labelled/pigeonholed within days.

fwiw, I actually like her (no reason for her to get close to winning mind)

She has difficulty coming across well, even when she's in the right. She has too bigger tendency to go on and on and on and on.

Anyone who can't make themselves look good when they're on the right side of an argument (pretty much every issue she's been involved in so far actually) is doomed.
