have you ever cut your finger really deep with a sharp knife or a tin?

if you have you'll know that the initial shock of the cut happens, then its usually a good few seconds before the blood starts to ooze out of the deep cut.

blood doesn't 'spurt' out of a cut in the finger, which is what it would have done to create a 'blood splatter' effect on the chopping board like that.

the only way that would happen is if her finger was literally cut off and it was pulsing out.

in which case the tea towel would have also been showing blood stains by the time she got to the diary room.

there was no blood in evidence.quite clearly a set up.

Ketchup and lard poured out of it?

My boyfriend swears blind he saw her walking out of a restaurant into a cab in Amersham yesterday

If you truly have cut yourself "to the bone", you would not be in and out of hospital in a few hours.

you would with just a bandage
she didn't have stitches did she ?

Do you believe it was a deep cut that needed stitches? I don't - there really wasn't much blood on that chopping board at all. She either just nicked it or ......as someone suggested - there was a capsule in the tea towel.

I've lost count of the time I've cut my finger and there's been a darn sight more blood than that - I've never needed stitches though. My OH on the other hand cuts his fingers quite often (occupational hazard) - even deep cuts can be sorted with steri strips - when stitches have been involved it has been far more 'dramatic' than that charade.

Have we had a close up of the "traumatic injury"?

And you would not laugh, it would bloody hurt. She didn't even swear.

I once dislocated my shoulder and was in so much pain, I started laughing hysterically... it's weird what pain makes you do.

But I doubt that was the case here.

it didn't go down to the subcutaneous layer, or she'd have had stitches
she probably just had it taped up/bandaged , but BB have to get a doctor to see it just as part of duty of care

even so, what was she using a large long knife for to peel potatoes for ?
Someone even told her not to use the large knife
she can't be that useless at 30 + ????
what does she eat at home ? takeaways? ready meals? chips from chip shops?

What does she eat at home? I'd say EVERYTHING!

I once cut my finger to the bone on a workshop bandsaw. It bled so much that it soaked through a heavy (bathroom) towel. It hurt so badly that the hospital had to give me painkillers. I had stitches and a tetanus injection (which Gemma would have had to have as she was handling a potato at the time) and was made to stay for the rest of the day because of the shock.

Believe me a 'cut to the bone' sheds far more blood than Gemma did and it bloody well hurt like hell. I cannot see Gemma coping with it without screaming the place down and milking it for all she was worth on her return to the house.

she doesn't cook herself anything then ?
unless she's NEVER peeled a potatoe
didn't her mother ever teach her ?
it's primary age stuff isn't it ?

Gemma's trying to find the right shade of lipstick

She must never have peeled potatos otherwise she wouldn't have used a knife . It happened so ridiculously quickly .

Gemma knew exactly what she was doing & I'm sure I heard her whisper to Chris as they were going in the diary room, "it's not that bad"?

I genuinely did cut my thumb today when I was cutting onions & wasn't concentrating. It didn't initially bleed that much, but started to gush once I ran it under water. Do not recall Gemma doing this or recall seeing any blood on the tea towel? Mine was a fairly deep cut (not to the bone) & Mr Cezzy insisted I nipped up the hospital & let them treat it. Steristrips & a comedy thumb bandage fixed my cut thumb.

Unless Gemma's 'injury' is shown close up, I will not believe it. It was just another excuse for her to hog the spotlight.

but at the time Gemma believed she did because of the panic & hysteria feeling you get when you cut yourself badly

like Gemma making something out of nothing again for camera time ?

your right I worked as a chef for 20 years and have cut myself lots and witnessed lots of injury's involving knifes .. there is no way that much blood would come out of a finger ... I did think that when the board was rinsed off .. I just thought I was strange .. must be fake no other explanation .. TO THE BONE what a nob

No, she didn't. She just asked if she was dying. *rolleyes*

I agree with you there I had a very deep cut to the bone and its pain that gets to you first and you put your finger under a cold tap not only that you also feel a bit faint.


So if blood did spurt out at the rate we are supposed to believe and BB was so
concerned WHY was she not called to the diary room right away.

With all the bugs that have been going about...........................

Yeah - she really looked panicked and hysterical didn't she? She'd have had hysterics if she broke a bl**dy finger nail.

Danielle was clearly in on it too - if your friend had just cut her finger to the none you'd be all over them trying to help - you certainly wouldn't be stood there laughing at her.

Much as I dislike Gemma I find it difficult to believe she would be stupid enough to cut her thumb deliberately. Did she milk it - probably
