Can this be a lesson to stay away from love island contestants?

[Elliot]

She’s so one dimensional and dull, literally always follows the crowd. Anybody could be in her place and nothing would change. She’s just objectively very dull and spineless, and kind of a wasted housemate slot. I’d like to say this is the producers fault maybe they’re not showing us stuff but even in the live feed all she did was follow the herd and make for shallow uninteresting conversation, and all she’s done in the highlights is cry.

Yes she has deffo been the most boring HM of the lot.
i find her a bit devoid of any personality at all ! Vanilla.

[Cherie]

Nobody would miss her if she left

[Paula D]

I don't think a former Love Island contestant should be classed as a celeb to be honest.

[Swan]

I remember on the opening night she piped up when they were all in bed, Hardeep was taking the piss out of Dan's Shakespearean 'if i don't sleep i'll be tired tomorrow' gem. I thought at the time she'll be one to watch, how wrong i was, she has done nothing since.

[Jack_]

I always said she'd be a wasted signing. She was dull and overrated on Love Island, and it's been the same here

There are far better islanders they could cast, they just haven't done so yet

[RileyH]

Nobody would miss her if she left

I would

[BBUK-Fan]

Gabby is boring, she can go next. Waste of money

[ThatsMyUserName]

She was put in for the potential Dan fireworks. It's not her fault she's behaved respectfully.

[Headie]

Or just cast one of the interesting ones like Theo, Hayley etc. instead of random dullards with no personalities

[Gusto Brunt]

Nobody would miss her if she left

True. And she is void of a personality.

But she is pretty.:hee:

[tiger_greengrass]

Georgia Steel for CBB23?

[armand.kay]

She isn't doing much atm but I she's not exactly been completely in the background. She's spoken p when she's needed to and has not let people walk all over her. I'm not a fan but she's at least noticeable and has added something to this season.

Please NO MORE , they are not celebs in any way shape or form !

[Jack_]

Please NO MORE , they are not celebs in any way shape or form !

You could say that about half the cast of most CBB's

Many Love Island alumni are more recognisable than some of the people who sign up anyway

[Elliot]

Take a page from Natalie and get some more bad girls club people on?
Or even take a page from tiff and hit up the flavour of love cast

[Mitchell]

Not until Chris Hughes goes in, so jack can admire him in his pants thanks

[Jack_]

:joker: he isn't really my type

[Cal.]

They should just choose islanders who would actually make good housemates.

Off the top of my head:

Jess Hayes
Liv Attwood
Theo Campbell
Hayley Hughes
Georgia Steel

Not if you don't watch the tripe. I've never seen Gabby before CBB ever. I was like 'who is she ?'

[Jack_]

Again, you could make the same point about half the cast's careers in most series of CBB

Nearly 4 million people watch Love Island, many of them 18-24, they will know who they are more than most others

[Cal.]

We WANT Jack Fowler in his pants!

[Elliot]

It’s such an easy show to get people off tho because most of them won’t be busy after love island, won’t be expensive but will be known. And most of them are garbage. Unless they get the good ones they’re jut useless filler housemates

[ethanjames]

ok but theres a number of contestants who would be AMAZE;
jess s1
naomi s1
chris s3
theo s3
olivia s3
malia s2
camilla s3
rosie s4
niall s4 etc just chose a bad one froma good bunch tbh

[jaxie]

Yeah this.

Mentioning love island without mentioning Georgia Steel. K.

You mean she's more like a normal person? :laugh: That's my take...

[Elliot]

Wdym.. every ‘normal’ person has flaws, quirks, experiences that shape their outlook on life. Gabby just seems to have nothing going on surface level and beyond. Maybe hardeep is right and there’s more that meets the eye

Everything in the OP for me would fit in with the "average" person... not a lot of people like to leave the herd. That's why there's a herd. It isn't meant to be a slight... she's just an average person imo. A lot of her spine comes from the group... she likely has well-developed views of her own, quirks and shared experiences, but in a house with much bigger personalities (and characters), it wouldn't exactly shatter planes...

We want miss Ellie Brown

Idk she certainly gravitates towards being part of a group and blending in. When you drag people away from these groups tho and put them under the microscope on their own they usually at least have something to offer (and you can see this a lot in bb). Gabby, to me anyway, truly has very little . Maybe because she hasn’t had the capacity to develop in these ways because of accesability to the ‘in’ crowd, or maybe she’s always been able to get by with her looks.. idk to me she just seems very bland and if she hasn’t revealed some of her inconsistencies or wow factor now idk what it will take to bring it out of her

I mean, I like her but I wonder if she'd have been able to truly shine if she was in a different series. This series has revolved mainly around the Roxy/Ryan thing and the Jermaine/Chloe thing, neither of which she's really been involved in. She may have been able to shine if Nat had stuck around, as there seemed to be arguments between those two.

[MB.]

Our Loz to enter the CBB25 house to confront Britney Spears?

[Shaun]

I genuinely don't understand the hate she gets on here. She's been pretty much her own person, steered clear of an easy Dan storyline, and shown pretty decent moral codes when dealing with Roxanne, Natalie and Jermaine.

I don't watch LI but she is a lot better than I was expecting.

Consider too, out of all the housemates who are bigger characters, she isn't high priority for camera-time... whereas if there was much more extensive time with live feed, we would get a different side of things.

She seems comfortable in her own skin and like she doesn't have to prove anything to others, which is one of the things I like about her... though I agree with you would like to hear more of her opinions beyond the immediate group. I think I said in another thread she is a professional fence squatter.

Same. I would've expected she may be someone who lets some things go to their head... but she is not like that at all.

She is hated on here because she didn't like Natalie

She doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone no, especially to me. She’s probably sound morally, and in real life I’d probably be good friends with her. It doesn’t make for interesting viewing tho, nor would it inspire me to want to keep up with her after this show is done. Professional fence sitter is probably the right phrase, would be someone I’d be sound with in real life, but not someone that intrigues me in anyway. Again it doesn’t matter too much like she doesn’t have to prove **** to anyone. I just find she makes for extremely bland viewing and is basically an ornament inside the house

:clap1:

[Aaliyah]

She’s one of the most boring and ugliest from love island that’s all. Her hair style is disgusting she looks like a freak. Jess or Dom or Sam Gowland would have been better choices

[point17]

Thry only put her in because of dan osborne.

She wasn't interesting in love island either

Yeah was gonna say I think she's been a decent housemate really. She's not been 24/7 fireworks but she has been an outgoing and prominent character without acting like your stereotypical reality tv contestant

[Elliot]

It’s not about causing arguments 24/7 it’s just about having some flair or spark or a n y t h I n g to you apart from the bare minimum of moral code and awareness of social cues

[Barry.]

I would

Of course you would.

[Jase.]

One of the worst ****ing CBB housemates in the history of the show. Literally. She has done absolutely nothing.

[Rufus]

She is one of the dullest, elusive CBB hm's ever. Even though Jonny was boring 95% of the time, he did have a couple of good moments.

Even in the Roxanne drama she followed the boys opinion :bored: .

Producers always put dull one dimensional love island & TOWIE cast members in the shows and it's boring :sleep: .

[Mystic Mock]

From the very first highlight show where she moaned about the noise in the bedroom when people were excited about their first night in the house told me all I needed to know about Gabby.

She's a complete killjoy who seems to hate fun.

People actually thought she'd cause arguments and be a miserable housemate , I thought she'd get nominated first judging from first night !! :facepalm:, it's funny how quick she's faded into the background as Natalie pointed out :joker: .

Gabby's not ugly imo, that's her one redeeming factor for me.:joker:

Tbh I am amazed that she's avoided arguments, but I'm glad in a way as that was an obvious route for a Scouse female to take on BB.

But in the process she's been dishwasher, she sits on the fence and whispered in groups :bored: .

[Clootie Dumpling]

A pretty face (or a rippling bod for that matter) is a poor substitute for an interesting personality; what's an essential requirement in a Love Island contestant doesn't (ever?) make for a good HM.

I rest my case ... :bored:

[Maxxie.]

They should just choose islanders who would actually make good housemates.

Off the top of my head:

Jess Hayes
Liv Attwood
Theo Campbell
Hayley Hughes
Georgia Steel

All of those people except Liv & Georgia were only in love island for like 10 days so if Gabby isn't classed as a celeb than these lot have no chance

In fairness though ANYONE from love island is far more famous than the BGC/Flavour of love types

[Maxxie.]

Tbh it would be far more interesting if they put Marcel in the house (guy who spread the rumours) in the house with Dan as opposed to Gabby

[JoshBB]

I don't watch LI but they should've found a more controversial contestant from it tbh

[montblanc]

we don’t want anymore

I’ll give you Theo but Jess won and Hayley did a respectful two weeks!

[Mystic Mock]

Yeah it is sad that she couldn't be more fun.

But tbf I could probably name on my one hand how many times an attractive looking Housemate has also ended up being entertaining.
