Except knowing she spends alot of time on the outside working to improve herself and her lifestyle i fail to see why her weight is an issue for you.

I'm going to confess
The way she speaks annoys me like hell
But I actually quite like her
I think she's actually quite insecure and wants to be liked by everyone in the house that's all

I don't believe her.

When Gemma first went into TOWIE she was a lovely character, I can't remember when it suddenly changed (and it was sudden as I remember). it was very odd but they do that a lot with the characters in TOWIE. She has been very argumentative and proper bitchy for so long now I'd forgotten what she was like at first.

She seems more like her 'original' character in the house. I'm starting to warm to her all over again - fat or not.

I think she's great! She's really friendly, warm-hearted, kind and always up for a laugh. I admire that she is so even-tempered, even when she is upset. I'd love her as a friend - to give me advice about my problems and try to find matches for all my single mates.

never watched towie so can only go by what ive seen in the house quite like gemma

Blue Jay you are making me But that kind of company makes others look so slim

I suppose that's one advantage of hanging around with people fatter than yourself!

Gemma makes Kristina look slim

her English is appalling. comes over as less essex and more "rosie lee fortune teller"

Well, sometimes I laugh at how common she is and her mangled use of English, but I can't say I dislike her based on what I've seen so far.

BiB:
you implying that Kristina is FAT

Kristina doesn't have an ounce of fat on her body

Yes she is over weight no denying that but that is not the reason I can't stand her , I can't do with her because I find her patronising, interfering, annoying, fake,lazy( well every time I see a clip she is flat on her back in bed even her so called bbf said she in bed all the time) insincere,smug, need I go on? But no doubt she will win as she is being championed by Rylan and all the " celebrity guests" on BBBOTS..

Why are you all feeding the troll? Jay Blue Whale or whatever his name is, is clearly saying all this stuff to deliberately provoke a reaction.

I highly doubt he believes the crap he is spouting, and if he does, it means he is an insecure little man with self-esteem issues and the only way he can feel superior is by looking down on fat people as he has nothing else going for him.

I like Gemma, she gets involved, makes things happen and at times is very funny. She's like an oversized Barbara Windsor. Yes she's a meddler, but I do believe she has a good heart. A lot of the time the meddling is just something to do and who can blame her in that house, but I felt that when she took Tiffany to one side it was a genuine attempt to help Tiffany and the house and amazingly she got through to her. She was also the only person who managed to persuade Angie to present the show, when others had failed. I also liked the way she was consistent in her condemnation of Winston, but only after she took the care to establish exactly what he had said. She also gave him the respect of listening to his speech and staying around for the Q&As.

Ok she's a moaner at times, but that's part of who she is, what you see is what you get, she has gone into the house and is holding nothing back, regardless of how she might appear to the outside world, exactly what you want from a HM.

That's what I wanted to say, you put it so much better than I could.
And for the record BlueJay, I've never been in Gemma's shop, I don't frequent Brentwood, but if it's a success well done to her. Personally I can't stand the woman, but I object to your narrow minded smug views.

You jest surely?

She strikes me as very self absorbed, they way she stares off into space when people are talking to her. I watched her nearly dropping off to sleep when David was telling her about spider chasing with MJ .
On the flip side, she has given some good advice, although I doubt if it was sincere (shrug).

Gemma is what you get when a person's insecurities manifest themselves. Not a pretty sight.

I feel exactly the same.

Pathetic opening post btw OP.

I cannot stand her, everything about her is fake. I hate the way she was on I'm a celeb - cowardly, self absorbed and attention seeking and I've seen nothing on BB to make me believe otherwise.

I find it creepy the way she gets up close to people's faces and stares into their eyes to make them feel she's really listening and in to them, when all the while you can see she's actually barely even listening at all. ..probably just wondering to herself if this will help get her a job as the nations agony aunt.
She's always looking for the cameras and then acts accordingly when she thinks they're on her., and she only really talks to the people she thinks could be of use to her. She wasn't trying to help Tiffany during their little chat, she was trying to make herself look good for the cameras and I don't believe she gives a shite about anyone but herself. I find her despicable in every way.
I only hope that her designer vagina op included a full stitch up so there's no chance of another one of her ever getting produced.
