I do feel sorry for the children but their mother just makes me angry.
Any mother who puts her own self gratification before that of her children doesn't deserve to be a mother. As far as I am concerned her attempt at building her public profile by going into the show then behaving as she has is just as selfish and just as much neglecting her children as the woman who leaves her kids home alone whilst she goes of on holiday because she needs a break and we all know how society would react to them.
One is behaving like a spoilt idiot on a TV show in order to boost her non existent TV career and have her ego fed and is only thinking about herself. The other needs a "break" and only thinks about herself, extremes yes but very little difference in the root cause--total self obsession and total lack of empathy for anyone else even their own children
I don't think Syler would be too upset with mommy's millions to keep her emotionally supported.
trust me the woman is not worth "millions"..... in fact I believe it is her financial situation that has led her to the jungle.... wish I could elaborate,but I do know this is a woman that lives beyond her means and is up sh!t street financially.
What little I've seen of IAC, she is feigning these so called phobias in order to be sent home on medical grounds and still pick up her pay check.

The woman is deranged.
Acting "deranged" is part of the strategy which seems to be working so far.
I would like to think that I would support a fellow camper who is being unfairly sent on all the tasks and lets face it one or two would be harsh for most of them but all is horrible. Just made me want to throw up when the stacey started mouthing off to Gillian telling her to leave, what a nasty passive aggressive bint she has turned out to be. The others are just watching their own backs and place in the group. No wonder Nigel left this shower of zedders.
What about all the other celebs who were "unfairly" sent on tasks?
Did they faint and have a phobia about EVERYTHING? no, they stoically got on with it. This woman is a conniving show off, she lies about the tasks but, we have seen her with our own eyes and are not taken in by her "faints".
When she gets back she will play the victim, but not too many people will have sympathy with her.
if she can't do the tasks she should be sent home.

The strange thing is, if you're going to act up on these shows surely it's possible to do so with a nod and a wink to the camera so that the audience enjoy it? A "lovably naughty" contestant could probably do quite well out of the show and subsequent publicity.
Gillian on the other hand doesn't seem to have any idea how badly she's coming across. Either she has badly miscalculated her game plan or she's genuinely bonkers. Perhaps the theory about her hoping to get kicked out on medical grounds and thus get a paycheque is correct, because I can't believe she thinks what she's doing is entertaining.

Stacey didn't mouth off, she told Giliian (calmly) what the rest of the camp and most of the public were thinking. If she (Gillian) has so many phobias and issues why is she here, if she refuses to be a team mate and do the trials for the camps benefit she should leave.
She's 51 and has a 9 yr old daughter? Is she that narcissiscic that she leaves her 9yr old alone at home to post inane videos on You Tube to get the public to like her mother.
I've questioned her motives as a contender on IAC, now I'm questioning her motives as a mother :mad:
Social services really do need to be involved - at the very least if you have a mother like that you need the outside influence of school to try and go some way toward neutralises the bile that seeps from Gillian's every pore.
Look at her behaviour with Stacey (who I doubt has ever met anyone as twisted as Gillian before...). She tries to be nice and Gillian turns it against her - Stacey goes away hurt - and then Gillian bids her time and goes creeping after her with very loaded phrases - emontional blackmail at its best.
Her poor daughter, being home schooled and stuck with that emotional game playing monster day after day. No wonder she defends her mother, can you imagine what she'll get if she didn't!
Gillian must have her family wrapped around her little finger - they disagree with her, she faints. They query her actions - she screams and turns herself into the victim.
Her kids might be home schooled (which TBH isn't healthy IMO, kids need to learn to mix in society) but it doesn't mean that Gillian herself (or her hubby) is doing the teaching. Maybe they have tutors? Could be why she seems to need her fee so desperately - to pay them?

That's a very sweeping statement, and this seems to be a widely held opinion of home schooled kids as antisocial outcast. If you do a little research you will find this not to be true of the majority. I home schooled for a year, my daughter has returned to school this September in Year 7, and she is now amongst classes of 25-30 kids, where there are 3 to 4 disruptive children (mainly boys) in every class. This is not only antisocial, it also inhibits the learning process, as the teachers spend a lot of time throughout the lessons trying to 'settle' these children.
The main solution to this disruptive behaviour is temproray exclusion or detention, with some children amassing 17-20 detentions during the first term at a school where they are at the start of their secondary education. Some of them were permanently excluded from their primary schools, so their problems have been ongoing for years, without being satisfactorily resolved. These disruptive children have not learnt to 'mix' in society, and are far more challenging (literally) than any home schooled child I have met.
My daughters experience is not unique. It is replicated across many classrooms, and not only in poorer areas. I have respect and sympathy for many of the teachers, they are not all bad, and many feel beseiged.
The singing descripton made me laugh, didn't find it disturbing. The daughter sounds fun, unlike the mother. But yes, this is definitely Gillian's handiwork.
The eldest daughter looked much older than her years, she looked 35 and dowdy......being home schooled and not having the opportunity to mix and interact with other teenagers can't be healthy or helpful. Is the daughter a victim of her mothers phobias.....the sins of the mother, if you like!!
Oh dear... just seen photos of the daughters and it's pretty obvious they take after their mother. The 16-year-old looks about 25-30, and they both look, well, slightly haggard. Not shining adverts for her nutritional beliefs.
If her children have no television and are now home schooled perhaps they think SHE is a normal, careing, loving mother, Who only does things for her family.(which she does not, she is a selfish person me, me, me, me,) Their eyes should be well and truly open if they can watch the programe.
Most children assume their family is normal until they get older and start meeting other people and discover that:
a) they are not normal and
b) there is no such thing as normal.

Not sure if it really is her daughter promoting her mother on youtube?

I see she's inherited her mothers gift for song writing.

One very damaged woman.
Are we seriously meant to believe Gillian played no part in that vid?
Very disturbing.
