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. 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.

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.
