I'm not blaming her. From personal experience of mental health issues I know how a negative outlook can take hold. However for me it makes her not very appealing to watch.

I quite like her but not as much as I did before she went into the house. She had every chance to win the whole thing but has not played a good game. I think we all know people who make the best of their disadvantages, they do this by not making their disibility/disadvantage the topic of most of their conversation. Gail if you don't want to be defined by your lack of hair then don't bring everything back to it.
She is a terrible HM, she likes to control things and when she cant its tears all the way. I do hope she is evicted as I don't think that BB is right for her.

Exactly what is she famous for these days anyway? She was successful enough as a TV presenter in the 1990s on kids TV and TOTP but she's done very little of note in the last 15 years or so. It strikes me that without the alopecia, she'd be a washed up nonentity and long forgotten.
Fame seems to be a drug whose side effects are profound unhappiness. When your claim to fame is refusing to wear a wig despite suffering hair loss no wonder she is miserable.

I thought it was good when Austin showed Gail how important hair was. I think Gail has a nice personality. Gail comes across as calm and gentle.
I don't get her.
If she cares about an idiot like James and other men finding her desirable then why doesn't she put a wig and a bra on and dress nice to attract that desire?
Going around bald, dressed like a drudge and with her tits on her knees is a choice she's making.
Can't have it both ways and try and use it for sympathy.

That's it. Her game is to win with the sympathy vote, so she's going to keep going on about it.
She is just as much a needy selfish fame whore as the rest of them, she just cries more. She is Princess Diana with a bald head, no children, and no wealthy boyfriends queuing round the block to fund her pity parties.

LOL - OH pointed that out last night, I hadn't noticed - but she really needs to wear a bra!

Maybe she who shall not be named is warging into Gail

Well that's just great. All Gail needed was to see that another bald person exists for it to be the cure for all her problems. Who would have thought it would be that simple?

That's how I saw it too. It was like the end of the film The Breakfast Club where everyone is telling their sob story and reducing themselves to tears.
Her loss of hair can easily be rectified by wearing a wig - think of all those people with seriously illnesses. (I fully support somebody embracing their loss of hair - but please don't moan about it every 5 minutes.)

I've missed a couple of shows. Did Austin shave his head in support of Gail? Folly if he did, that's akin to closing your eyes for a minute and imagining what it is like to be blind.
