Online poll - Was Gemma right to accept the professional blow dry?
 

If I was offered something that I really wanted to the extent that Gemma really wanted that blow dry, I'd probably take it up too tbh :laugh:

No a dumb selfish pile of crap as usual.

On a personal level, no. On a housemate level in the context of an entertainment programme, yes. The latter of which is why she chose to take it, and rightly so :clap1:

Especially as she bitched to the hairdresser the whole way through :umm2:

..I think that it depends which way it's looked at...if a 'scripted' theory is thought to be the case..(and I don't usually go with 'FIX' theories but I am suspect of some things in this series..)...then when she and Daniella 'walked', I think that one of the persuasions of getting her back, was her being upset about the 'get Gemma outs' and BB reassuring her that her selfishness and me, me, me was getting a lot of airtime so was a good thing..'she was the star'/type thing and also with the blow-dryer as Cherie said, playing up to the Diva of being so fussy and demanding...so yes, from that point of view, she was very right in playing up to the public attention and being talked about/entertainment...

I hope you all voted no just for her meltdown.

:clap1::clap1::clap1: TRUE. How can ANYONE not think the same???? :shrug:

wind up merchants :hehe:

Yeah? She asked her housemates first and they told her to go for it

No, and her hair still looked a mess after it :joker:

That's one way of putting it ,I suppose.

farct - the option was gave to her and she choose what suited her - but can I just correct spelling - there is no I in team.

i only heard the guys saying its ok. i dont think any of the women did.:laugh:

Of course not, but I didn't expect anything else from the lazy, selfish girl that she is

yea it was pretty obvious she was going to whether or not people bent the knee to her for whatever damn reason they always do for the most part

Housemates like Darren & Christopher who appear to be frightened to go against her?

Or housemates like John who said yes because it looked like a losing battle?

Or housemates like Daniella & Tiff who seem to be under her spell?

Nasty dissing of the hairdresser, he looked like he wanted to get the hell out of there asap.

Poor Gemma getting some work-experience beardy to ruin her lustrous locks

:nono:

Their fault for not speaking up then lol

Because this is a TV show and not real life

It doesn't matter if it's a TV show, the other HMs were still going to have to go a day without hot water which makes her selfish - really

But Niamh, she said her hair was causing her distress and making her ratty and depressed, so she was doing the others a great favour by getting it done. :hehe: Look at what a changed woman she was when she came back from the hairdresser. Wanting to do spinning tasks and peel potatoes and everything. :joker:

Voted yes.

Yes it does, the question in the OP is 'was Gemma right to accept the professional blow dry?', in the real world the answer would of course be no, there is no denying the act is completely selfish, but within the confines of an entertainment programme the decision was for the purposes of the show the correct one, and Gemma understands this.

Her being on a TV show doesn't make her accepting it any less selfish, that's not what I'm arguing, but it does make her decision to be selfish a righteous one because this is TV, not real life. Kirk's post about how there couldn't be any other way of seeing it is what I was disputing.
