She is a 26 year old woman who gains her main identity from being a hardcore Taylor Swift stan (not fan, stan). I mean, I like music I follow groups, no judgement on that in itself, but it's clear that she has invested a large part of her self identity into this. People don't usually do that if they feel accepted and seen in real life.

BUT, yes, the behaviour that we have seen from her has to be taken on it's own merits ultimately and she has behaved terribly. She has attempted to buy her way into the Ali Goon Squad, who didn't want to have much to do with her before this really, by 'exposing' Hanah and then feeding Lily... Will it work? Probably, because Ali is definitely empire building in there right now in an effort to beat Hanah+. In the end, Martha is a nom on her side now after all.

The end result is that Martha is acting in a pretty awful way. She is acting like the girl that snides against you in public to whoever will listen (often behind your back) and then apologises to you for that in private. She is unreliable and untrustworthy and hides that behind a constructed persona of 'jolly big girl'.

Martha definitely is desperate to be liked by the Ali squad, I didn't like the way she kept bringing up the chanting. Lily was annoyed AF aswell going on about it .. making the eviction all about her selfish self" oh I heard my name " ...she must have said that a 100 times, and Martha continued it on like a repetitive jumpy parrot .

It was obvious Hanah was staying quiet ,as to spare feelings. And Martha tried to twist it to make out Hanah is being nasty . Ali is now calling Hanah a bully.... without even knowing the full story.

Watching it back now ,I admit I wish Hanah stayed calm & composed ..but I think she was that frustrated with the false terrible narrative being played out....that it hurts her . Hanah has a hard exterior..but she still has feelings. And it was 2 against 1 when Nathan got his turkey chops involved...it had nothing to do with him. Martha showed a bitchy & cowardly side .
