Ah yes I remember that, those were the days. wasn't he sitting on the stairs looking all forlorn?

Ive not seen Wednesdays episode yet but maybe Gemma's less obvious departure was a sign that unlike Mark, she is coming back.

I don't usually watch ima celeb but daughter does and so no doubt I'll get to see how Gemma comes across. Maybe she is a nicer person that her Towie persona suggests.

Yes Mark had a total ott goodbye scene with Arg crying, as if he was about to go off into battle

I totally picked up on this too. When Ricky was outside of the house and then Carol come to the door I was a little shocked because it did look a bit messy and not as grand as the other front of house scenes we see for the other cast members but yes when inside the kitchen looked huge and beautiful...strange

Maybe it's like the karadashians, where they don't actually show the front of the houses for privacy or something??

I think you are right there. I reckon Gemma will be coming back.

I don't watch IACGMOOH but you cannot miss what is going on as it's normally everywhere

Even at the start of this they all had lovely houses inside and out. How could they afford them?

They must be places that they rent from multi-millionaires and use as sets. Plus they do not look 'lived in' unlike my home Way to perfect imo.

Well to be fair, when you're house is gonna be on national TV, you'd probably wanna make sure everywhere's clean and tidy!

can't imagine tawdry TOWIE will last too much longer at this rate.

The axe of Damacles is hanging over it - and not before time.

I know they are perfect, even Billie's house with a new born is perfectly tidy! I think the cast come from wealthy families so those that live with their parents are still in pretty big houses but those who have moved, they live in flats that look pretty small. I'm assuming Essex is an expensive place to live. The flat you see Diags and Fran in is tiny however Ricky's house looked amazing, well the front hall and door did anyway...

Wasn't the final episode of the series supposed to air on Sunday night?

Maybe lived in was the wrong phrase.

All homes seem to be owned by people who have OCD nothing is out of place and is spotless. Just odd that they are all that immaculate and seem to be very rich.

I remember when I saw Charlies house Or should that be mansion. It was humongous!

Still. I think we are live in the real world on here

Wasn't Billie and Sams dad a criminal? All the parents cannot be that rich.. can they

Some parts of that area are really expensive to live but then you get a rough area just like anywhere else.

As for Ricky's I would have said that was a flat but he answered the door where normally they let you in via a buzzer.

I know. I am looking to much into this


I read Gemma has walked from the jungle .. didn't see that coming... especially when she screams when she see's a fly in her house

Weds was the final when we were 'treated' to the Full Monty scene. Maybe they brought the final forward to allow fat Gemma her 5 seconds in the jungle

I think what'd help the show is if they didn't have two episodes a week. With two episodes, they're trying to fill in two hour long shows with stuff. If they dropped it down to one, I think the "quality" (I feel bad for even using that word) would increase a bit.

So Gemma's lecturing Ferne about morals. Is she serious?

I really think gemma needs help

For the first time tonight, I really thought this too. I've always found her unpredictable and quite nasty but she's stepped it up a notch now. I think she's a sociopath.

Ooh, what's she done, I've not been watching properly

Cant sleep so just watching this. If Jess is unwell who can be bothered to put on a whole face of make up. They could at least have toned it down a bit.

Really, really struggling to watch this now. I cant think of a single cast member I particularly like anymore. Bye, bye Towie!

It's the same old same old now isn't it. And I agree about Gemma being a socio/psycho path. The way she makes an evil statement then just stands there in silence with a demonic look on her face. It's very chilling. And Bobby as her evil browed accomplice saying 'Gemma needs only moral people around her at the minute'. So creepy.

Apart from being full of herself and trying to make everyone think they're privileged to be in her presence, Gemma has just become an out and out b!tch to nearly everyone. She seems incapable of having a normal relationship with anyone. One minute she was approaching Ferne (who I know has her faults too) and almost apologising for things that had been said (last series, presumably), suggesting they be civil to each other and move on, and next she was coming over picking a fight again. She told Danni in front of Ferne some cutting things Ferne had apparently said about her. Even if Ferne did say those things, which is not impossible I know, there was no need to hurt Danni by telling her and, having 5 mins earlier told Ferne she didn't have a problem with her, why then drop her in it by doing that? To be fair to Ferne, she kept her composure well and didn't start a shouting match. It made Gemma look even more of a cow.

BIB. Tbh i have always thought this of her. I could never warm to her. Look how she has treated Bobby and Charlie. She is a nasty piece of work and agree that she does have a problem.

Well, yes, she has always been like that and the Bobby and Charlie episodes were sometimes difficult to watch. But do you agree she has got so much worse?

I don't think her spell in the jungle has helped - she thinks she's made it big time and the others/we were lucky to have her there. I hope whatever fee she undeservedly negotiated for that was cut drastically when she had a hissy fit and exited. In TOWIE last night, she turned up on the ferry to France (the others did genuinely seem surprised to see her) like queen bee, again as if we/they had hit the jackpot having her there. Deluded and nasty.

A mad cow at that!

I've never liked her right from the start, was always aware of an underlying viciousness but she does seem to be getting worse. I don't even think it's just for attention/storyline, I reckon she's not playing with a full deck

BIB. Yes I do think she has got worse, if that is possible
