...did Gina's "accent" slip?
 

Rewatched it a couple of times - just after Gina's boyfriend has nominated and she starts talking, I'm convinced she momentarily forgot where she was, thought she was at home talking to her boyfriend, and her "posh voice" went completely AWOL. Then she remembers and it suddenly flips back.

Oops.

Noticed this there just watching it back, she very quickly gets back into character though.

I reckon in reality she is a council estate bog-rat on benefits with a couple of kids to different dads, the posh thing is just an act !

They certainly don't grab you as a ten grand a month from mummy couple

Her accent fluctuates a lot but to be fair so does most people's when they're surrounded by people with differing accents. Its hard not to pick up influences, either subconsciously to fit in or just because we're all impressionable.

I don't care what her accent is!! I am just happy that she was in the house this year along with Dexter, can you imagine the BB we would have had without them .

Her bf is the epitomy of "chav": the angled cap, the bling, the Ali G accent.
Socially speaking, he represents the polar OPPOSITE of Gina's 'tea-at-the-Ritz' lifestyle.
So either Gina is his rich "suga mama", or Gina herself is actually a Chavette.
I suspect the latter.

Very true, it is a game after all, although she is getting a bit boring lately. Dexter seems to be carrying the show lately.

:laugh2:

Not after a couple of weeks, it doesn't. Maybe if you live abroad for ten years you may be forgiven, but apart from that, it's unlikely she'd been altering her accent subconsciously after only a couple of weeks. No one's that impressionable.

Always known Gina was fake, that was ok by me, just as long as she was not nasty.

So pleased the real Gina showed herself last night. My vote to save money all going on Sam now.

I disagree. Some people only need to be conversing with someone on and off in a social situation for a few hours for inflexions to be picked up.

For example, someone from the south can inadvertently pronounce a word like 'cup' as 'coop' (forgive the lack of phonemes to demonstrate actual pronunciation more accurately!) if they've been hanging out with someone from the north. I've seen/heard this happen many times.

As I said, not everyone is this impressionable but it's more frequent than you may think.

she often drops it ,they have even commented on it on BBOTS

Housemates talking to Charlie often give it "yeah yeah yeah yeah" during the conversations. :joker:

She is the Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet) of BB. On eviction night her family will turn up in a stolen escort, her father's beer gut will be straining against a stained string vest and her mother will be sipping Special VAT.

One of my favourite TV comedy characters! :D

Exactly this.

Gina has said that her entry to BB was all down to her bf.

Maybe the fake background etc, is largely his idea?

It is becoming very noticeable that Edwin 'Ecksell' Newton is the only person who represents Gina. Never her ultra-rich mother, her brother or even a friend... surely she has a bevy of rich young socialites she hangs out with?

I wonder what is their game plan, once Gina exits? They can't possibly keep up the pretence?

You need to get over your chav obsession
Whenever her boyfriend has been on BOTS he's been very polite and well spoken

Chav is a style descriptor, not a comment on character.

I agree the bf is OK. Well-spoken in an Ali G kind of way maybe!

But the point is, he is not someone a very wealthy young female would gravitate to.

She probably spends Ten grand a month on her make up. Cement and Industrial Filler don't come cheap these days.........!!!!

She's an absolute rotter...real posh people with money don't speak or behave like her...

She's a fake and a wannabe..with many many insecurities regarding money and her identity ( blonde wig, white makeup, blue contact lenses etc etc)

Send her back to the hood and let her BF go on pimping. Neither of them fooled me, they are so lower class it screams at you. Why someone has not printed her story of fantasy is beyond me, maybe they are waiting till the finals week to make the fall even harder.

Anyone who is calling him a chav has clearly never met a chav. From the few seconds I saw of him he seemed a very well spoken kid. Come to my hometown i'll show you chavs. If you get out alive you can then talk about them on here!

This thread btw is bordering on racist.

^There's no obsession - I just say it as I see it. And I see Gina's bf as a chav.
As for 'well spoken', you and I have VERY different definitions.

Apparently hes some wannabee rapper (has made a song I believe) so his council estate image is somewhat central to his job. And apparently he is rather well off as well and a bit of a fake despite wanting to appear like he grew in the slums of London.

Lets be honest we all know that Gina is not 100% what she says she is. I think the truth is her dad was rich (that story checks out) but when her parents divorced eventually he stopped supporting her lifestyle and her mum just has a basic council flat somewhere cause she gets no money from him. I think Gina has in the past been privileged but now exists on a fairly meager amount of money hence entering BB to try to win more.

That said her and Dexter were the only two people worth watching this year supported by Dan (whom i liked tbh)

Callum, Sallie, Wolfy etc only got any air time at all cause of their interactions with those two.

Where does that story check out? Have you got a link?

The only things I've seen check out are that she lives in a council flat with her mum and her dad is long gone.

I'm a Gina fan btw and I think last night is a storm in a teacup.

Of course she's a chav....Sophie is the more obvious chav due to her accent but they are both cut from the same cloth.

Her bf repulses me the way he looks and speaks...

Oh dear God, here we go again.....
