I don't know how anyone can like her to be honest. Honestly, she comes across as a spoilt brat. Look at her when she was nominated for eviction, you would have thought someone had ran over her cat. She was pathetic, and her relationship with Jackson is equally pathetic.
It doesn't help that she talks and act's exactly like that Made in Chelsea lot. |

but "looks" is the only example you gave and since Moomin has comprehensively disproved that your only reposte is to say there are "lots of ways" but without giving a single other one?
When people liked her before there was any good reason based on her time in the house to like her, it must be about something else. And when I said "lots of ways" it was that "lots of ways women can react to another woman's looks". It doesn't have to be that you fancy her, so that being straight rules that out. Looks often are a factor, and clearly were in many cases. And looks covers a lot, such as her face and body looking natural, and her not being ultra thin. (She played the "people will say I'm fat" card very early on.) Even the idea that she "seemed a bit different from the carbon copy women that we get every year" could be largely based on how she looked, in one way or another (as it was with Carole Vincent in bb8) -- especially since other things about her made it seem she was yet another of a sort we get every year. |

I really like Georgina and will be so disappointed if she is voted out.

I like her too. She is desperately insecure and has such low self esteem that she makes some dreadful choices. She bitches about others as she finds them intimidating.
She is terrified that Jackson will be attracted to Evelyn and dump her on TV. On Taking New York, her boyfriend had a thing with an Australian girl. Interesting... Just as an interesting aside Jackson's child's mother looks quite like Georgina facially but with very slender tattooed body of Evelyn. Anyway, I would love for someone to give Georgina some non-threatening advice about how people perceive her but I think she would see it as an attack. I don't think she finds making or recognising friends easy. |

bit in bold - Her reaction to being nominated, her telling Jackson to stay away from Evelyn and her similar dismissal of any friendship with Emma all completely debunk the theory that Georgina's horrendous behaviour is down to 'low self-esteem'.
She was absolutely gobsmacked to be nominated. That's how highly she thinks of herself. She thinks, that for HER sake, one of her fellow hms should ignore another - because SHE hates her. That's how highly she thinks of herself. She doesn't like Emma calling her out on her bitching, so she's not going to be friends with Emma and doesn't give a good god-damn if that makes Emma feel isolated. That's how highly she thinks of herself. Low self-esteem my arse. Jim Royle would be proud of you,

I could possibly go with the idea of her having insecurities although it still surprises me she would appear on one reality show let alone two if that were the case, but if she had such low self esteem why would she be so gobsmacked at being nominated - surely she would be expecting it?
It's load of old rubbish,

How's that supposed to work? There are lots of ways women can react to another woman's looks. Besides, looks was only an example.
Seemed a bit different based on what? Her Day 1 bitching about Evelyn? That she didn't seem to have had work done on her body? (Or would that be "looks"?) That she'd already been in a reality show? How does stereotyping other women turn into liking Georgina? Like this: There wasn't anything evident on Day 1 that was a good reason to like Georgina, but comparative liking can be created by lowering opinions of other women instead. Blimey, I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition by starting this thread. I like Georgina. I don't need to be verbally attacked for that. This is a forum for opinions, and I have given mine. I can't help it if you don't like my reasons for liking her. |

Completely agree. She was one of my favourites on night one and - kudos, Veri - you were the only poster I remember who didn't join the Georgina love-in from the first night.
As the days went on, however, I saw that Georgina is what she is, an entitled, controlling, unpleasant little brat. I didn't join the love-in because it was too soon for viewers to have good reasons to like her so much, and because of her Day 1 highlights DR bitching about Evelyn, which seemed tactical -- an attempt to influence viewer's perceptions. (Also, Goergina's popularity came with so strong a reaction to her looks that it had to be a major factor in many cases.) I thought there should have been at least a question mark over her, a wait and see. A curious thing happens at the start of a new series. If someone makes negative comments about a HM, they're told it's too soon to judge; but it's rare for anyone making positive comments to be told that. There was even one poster (I'm sorry, but I've forgotten their name) who even argued that positive comments were reasonable, even though negative comments weren't. But such judgements, positive or negative, have to be based on relatively superficial things, although they can be evaluated with the help of our experience with other HMs and our knowledge of the sorts of people who try to get into BB and who BB tends to pick. So there's Georgina. She's already been in a reality show. She seems to have media ambitions. She's using her looks. She doesn't have an ordinary job (or, it seems, any job at present). And on Day 1 she's already making negative comments about another woman (Evelyn) behind her back. (In the old days, that alone would have been a strong negative and has been treated as a strong point against some HMs even years after they were in BB). None of that means I'll necessarily dislike having her as a HM; but I feel I've learned over the years to be suspicious of strong early popularity when there doesn't seem to be any good reason for it, and especially when how a woman looks seems to be a factor. (That's not only about being good looking. I also didn't join the early popularity of Carole and Laura in bb8, Kat in bb9, Becky in bb13, or Jale in bb15.) |

You haven't been verbally attacked. This is a forum for opinions, and I've stated some opinions of yours about Georgina. It's not that I don't like your opinions. I disagree with some, and with others wonder what their causal basis could be. BTW, in the current favourite HM poll, Georgina is still the 2nd most popular female HM, behind (surprisingly) Jayne. |

I suspect that she has a good relationship with most of the people in the house and was, therefore, surprised to find the house turned against her (you tend not to think that it only takes 3 or 4 people out of 14 for you to be put up). Although, to be honest, I think her reaction was more being really upset at the potential possibility of having her relationship with Jackson come to an end than anything else. |

I think her self-esteem issues are more in terms of her looks and her ability to appeal to men.

Really? I don't think she even likes him. Her reaction to his having a son was quite extraordinary. There's no time for a gf where there's a child, in Georgina's selfish little world. She flat out admitted she wouldn't have got 'roped in' if she'd known; five minutes before she tore the head off him for having his make-up done by Evelyn.

Now that she has got to know him and develop feelings for him I'm sure it's just something she'll have to adjust to but it's perfectly understandable that she would not have gone there if she'd known in advance and that's precisely the reason Jackson was initially reticent about letting her know about the kid at the start. I certainly wouldn't have. |

When you're young and looking for someone for a relationship the last thing you want is someone who is already tied down with a kid and an ex. Most people would want a good few years of fun with a partner before being tied down with the responsibility of a kid and a family. Right from the start there are two other people in his life when there should just be you.

I like Georgina. I think she has either been really hurt or she has such low esteem that she feels everyone is somehow 'out to get her'. I don't think Emma has any understanding of how the rest of us think. She is really irritating and to preach to someone about how she feels and all the rest of the garbage she comes out with is boring. Her voice gets me too. I do wish someone would gently tell Georgina how she is coming across because I am sure that that is not really who she is inside. She reminds me of Kate Winslett to look at.

No need to apologise for liking her.
![]() At least Georgina gives us something to watch (no not the bed antics. I could do without that). I prefer housemates who do stuff, likeable or not. I'd kick out the boring ones who coast to the end under the radar. All along that's been Alex, and now maybe Laura. Strange how she went all Miss Innocent after Marco was evicted.

And why do you think that Georgina's nasty bitching DOESN'T actually reveal what she is like 'inside'? It sounds ass backwards to me. Georgina has SAID she doesn't like her and wants nothing to do with and had several goes and got Jackson to have a go. But she's nice really? And Emma is wrong to feel dismissed and got at? I want Georgina to know she's acting like a nasty brat, I don't think 'gently telling her', will help and don't see why she deserves all the pussyfooting when she is incapable of just being decently civil herself, personally. OUT on Friday, that should give her a reality check. |

'he's adorable' or ANYTHING vaguely normal to a photograph of someone's pride and joy is very telling about Georgina. She's a self-obsessed brat and all the justification on this thread and elsewhere seems to me to be scrambling and desperate. |

Just because she hugs trees and tried to give CPR to a moth, doesn't mean she can do no wrong or get special treatment. |
