I thought the pregnancy bit was so lame. I knew a young woman who used to lie about being pregnant and then falling downstairs and losing the baby. She was a very skilled drama queen and knew exactly how to stir and work people to get the reaction she wanted. Gemma may not be up there on that level of crazy, but she can manipulate and pushes buttons at just the right times to maximize her air time. She has a charm she can turn on and off. When people talk to her she ultimately uses what they tell her against them to get in the middle of their business (for max air time...)

Sadly, she will likely gain popularity from being on show. She is taking notes from Tiffany and has been working her as well most of the show. Tiffany may have been famous for being some badass in the past but she's softened up and become much more vulnerable and therefore available. Still, they both know this business of creating drama for ratings really well. The times where she has her "moments" about not being loved by someone very rich, yeah, they are probably her honest truth but I get the feeling she understands they need a narrative for your "character" so she just may just be using that to get more air time... say what you will, she may not be doing squat on the tasks, but she is earning her paycheck.

It's ironic Tiffany has been more real and even a little down to earth compared to Gemma.
