I think you're forgetting this is a reality show. They're in the house so that WE can judge them...

If Gina didn't care about her looks, or came out and said that she was insecure about them, etc., I doubt anyone would have a go at her. However, she walks around acting like she's the best looking girl on the planet, while slagging off the others as if they're not on her 'level'. As the public, keeping in mind its up to us to vote on them and essentially 'judge' them, it's only natural to therefore question certain things about them. It just so happens that Gina is all about her 'looks', that's her defining characteristic. She's chosen that for herself, its' not like we're projecting it onto her without cause.

For the record, I haven't said anything negatively about her looks, I really don't care tbh. But I do find it odd that she's so committed to looking differently then her natural state. I think its completely legitimate to comments on that and wonder why that's the case.

How is insulting somebody's looks judging them?

The O.P was two pictures of her in a not so pleasant state and boasting about how she doesn't look good.

When or where did I say that? The part of my comment that you bolded certainly doesn't insinuate that I have or support that opinion...

The bold part was for my second point.

You said they are in the house to be judged in your first sentence and are on here defending people for hitting out at her looks. 2 + 2 makes 4 and all that.

I also said I don't condone being nasty. Their is a difference between judging someone (which is what this show is all about), questioning the motivations behind their actions (in this case it has to do with Gina and her motivation to look differently then her natural appearance), and just being plain downright and nasty. I even specifically mentioned that I don't condone or support people making remarks of that (nasty) nature. However, everyone can make whatever opinion they like and have whatever view they like, it's a little naive to think you can change that or dictate to people what they can and can't talk about.

I'm not trying to dictate anything it should be common sense that being derogatory about a persons looks is a low blow.
