Watched FB of the Shelly-Kalia discussion from last night. 1:45 am quad cam, some cutaways but hang in for the conversation.Interesting. Kalia seems like she needs a lot of love/is needy for love.
She tells Shelly that she noticed how no one cheered for her (Kalia) in the endurance challenge and how all of the other group went inside after those they were rooting for fell off.
Shelly remarks that she, Shelly, came back outside to talk/ root? for Kalia and Dani. Kalia blows that off because the story is all about how no one cheered for her (lol).
Discussion goes on about why Kalia is ruffling feathers in the house. Discussion of wine pouring last night and an encounter with Rachael. Shelly tries to help Kalia see how she could have played it differently with Rachael. Kalia not hearing what Shelly's selling.
Shelly is trying to enlighten Kalia about Kalia's piggybacking onto others' cooking or making food, as in will you make me a sandwich, too? Kalia claims she has cooked for others and looks incredulous, mouth open, etc. when Shelly brings this up. Shelly says, well, yes, macaroni and cheese (is that all Kalia has made in the last three weeks?)...but Kalia is not getting it.
Shelly pries into Kalia's background, trying to find out where the sense of entitlement comes from. Asking if she came from wealth.
Kalia says she grew up upper middle class/ family had a pool/ there were rough times when her parents got divorced and we get a WBRB.
Later Kalia talks about being the only black woman in the house and tries to help Shelly understand what that feels like. Something happened when Kalia was in high school and she lost a lot of friends and her mother? said well, they all stick together (I understood this to mean that Kalia had a lot of white friends who she lost when something happened in high school) Kalia goes on to talk about going to Spellman for college and she learned what real friends were, and they happened to be black women.
Shelly asks about Kalia's experiences with prejudice. Shelly pried a lot last night!
Kalia proclaims her love for Dani and how she won't betray Dani, even if that makes her a target next week. She even cries about it. Told Dani she loved her when they were still up on the endurance wall and everyone else was inside.
Kalia has said part of what she has been doing in the BB house was acting but I don't think the crying for Dani when talking with Shelly was acting last night. I think Kalia wanted desperately to be part of an alliance and now feels she has it.
Kalia is not understanding why everyone out of the house loves her and it is so different in the house.
