I just made a point of watching BOTS on catch up, I don't recall seeing any coverage or even acknowledgement of Gemma's theft. In fact we just saw Rylan rejoicing that "The GC has got her shoes back" - without even mentioning that fact that she STOLE them back!

Certainly seems that Gemma is the BOTS 'chosen one'.

But they forgot to inform the panel who said little good about her.

I was amazed after her pathetic couple of days in the jungle that any programme would want her. ITV and channel 5 have pandered to her and seem to think she's great (mind you c5 thought Helen Wood was wonderful so no accounting for taste). She gave Tiffany the shoes then stole them back! She is an unpleasant woman.

Liked what tiff said about 'should have left them on the shelve' .... Class

Indian giver.

Tiffany is unpleasant. I dont blame gemma for taking them back. Tiffany is a liar. Saying angie told her david gest had died

Gemma gave them to Tiffany as a present. The least she could have done, if she wanted them back, was to say to Tiffany she wanted them back and ask if could she take them. Instead, she went behind Tiffany's back and took them from her things, and probably wouldn't have said anything had it not been brought up by BB in the task. She actually seemed pretty smug about the fact she had already taken them back without telling Tiffany. She then went on to insult Tiffany by saying she wasn't beautiful enough to wear them. But sure, Tiffany was the unpleasant one in that situation.

Gemma is clearly the "chosen one", so of course Rylan was going to champion this.

She is. Although some consider it a racist term now.
As I understand it, It actually came about due to . misunderstanding. The Indians (native Americans) had a custom where one side would make a gesture with a gift, and the other side would reciprocate. It seems the white settlers/cowboys/thieving gets didnt reciprocate and so the Indians took their stuff back.

The rules about giving things havent changed without me knowing have they? Is it just a loan? Does it come with conditions?
I cant see how they all thought it was ok and sided with Gemma the thief.

I didnt say she was unpleasant in that situation. She is unpleasant. Full stop.

oops double post

I wouldn't have wanted them in the first place after seeing how disgusting Gemma is in the house. If she raises her leg to fart loudly when she is in company and refuses to wash her dirty, itchy hair til she can blow dry it I can only imagine the state of her trotters
I wouldn't be worried about stones being missing, I'd be worried about what Gemma has left behind in them.

So stealing's ok as long as you deem the victim unpleasant? A very handy defence there.

I can't believe I actually warmed to Gemma early doors Talk about showing her true colours. What an awful woman.

Exactly. Can you imagine the reaction if Tiff had stolen from Gemma

Putting aside the "theft" element there was a time when a HM interfering with another's belongings would have deserved a warning.

I disagree, but what's your view on that situation then. Or do you think how Gemma acted and what she said was ok, because you don't like Tiffany?

Its a pity some posters can't be unbiased and view the situation for what it is. Credit where credit is due. Because of their intense dislike of a housemate they will try what every angle to cast them in a continuously bad light.

To be honest, I think Gemma only gave Tiff the shoes in the first place for "air time" as she knew it would make her look good by doing so. It was the first night and Gemma wanted to get as many housemates on side so she would appear to look the nicest housemate on the show. Didn't you notice how many times Gemma kept repeating herself, following Tiff around saying "appy birfday" "appy birfday" about a hundred times.

Give someone your shoes, say happy birthday, then leave them alone. It looks more sincere than following them around in front of everyone saying "appy birfday" every three seconds to keep the limelight on yourself!

'appy birfday to yoo,
You admiring my shoe
'ere 'ave em dear tiffany
take verucca home with you

'appy birfday to yoo,
stole my airtime you moo
So i nicked 'em from your suitcase
Found some chocolate there too

Priceless Love it

She might be unpleasant but in my book once you give something to someone you dont act like a spoilt brat and just take it back. FFS Gemma is a nasty coward, if she had touched any of my stuff i would have slapped her.

Stone her!!!

(19)Stone her!!!

It was definitely theft and it is disgusting. Gemma is one of the chosen ones.

I can just see Gemma and Tiff on Judge Rinder after this

Yep never mind the panel the HMS would demand she is removed because she's a danger to their personal belongings as well as their safety *rolls eyes *
