Can this be a lesson to stay away from love island contestants?
 
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 05-09-2018 04:15 PM

Nobody would miss her if she left

Paula D 05-09-2018 04:16 PM

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

Swan 05-09-2018 04:16 PM

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_ 05-09-2018 04:17 PM

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

BBUK-Fan 05-09-2018 04:23 PM

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

ThatsMyUserName 05-09-2018 05:06 PM

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

Headie 05-09-2018 05:07 PM

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

True. And she is void of a personality.

But she is pretty.:hee:

Georgia Steel for CBB23?

armand.kay 05-09-2018 05:13 PM

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.

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 05-09-2018 05:21 PM

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 05-09-2018 05:22 PM

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

Cal. 05-09-2018 05:33 PM

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 ?'

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. 05-09-2018 05:36 PM

We WANT Jack Fowler in his pants!

Elliot 05-09-2018 05:38 PM

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 05-09-2018 05:42 PM

ok but theres a number of contestants who would be AMAZE;
jess s1
naomi s1

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

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...

RileyH 05-09-2018 06:50 PM

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.

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

Shaun 05-09-2018 07:04 PM

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

Aaliyah 05-09-2018 07:21 PM

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
