I thought she was a really good sport over the birthday disasters and was very kind to Darren about picking all his own songs.

Gemma and Tony the pony might be one of the highlights of this bb for me.

But I'm a bit jealous of the fluffy phone.

She knew there was a task going on aha, her facial expressions said it

[REDCROP]

A good sport when it's gonna benefit her.....a bad sport in every other task

[susie q]

She was quite entertaining for once. I was jealous of the shetland pony treat.

It felt like she knew all along.

What happened to that spoilt Gemma who wouldn't shower unless they turned on the hot water?

But she was bold enough to act it out. I guess she knew it would reap rewards...

Gemma's best episode yet, her timings perfect.

[parmnion]

you have to hand it to her!

2 and a half hours in the toilet and she still had more to offer the h/l show than everyone else.

That's actually true.

As someone who is not a Gemma fan, this could be seen by some as a very good episode for her. She came across as patient, forgiving, kind fun-loving, the works.

However I too am also very sceptical about this sudden compete change in personality. I believe she knew it was a task and Daniella or somebody probably told her about it in the toilet where there's no cameras.

She had no reaction at all when it was revealed it was a task, and there was no reaction from the other housemates either, usually the housemates laugh heartily and point their fingers saying gotcha or something along those lines when a secret task is revealed, but everybody just stayed sitting still. No reaction from Gemma either until she heard she was getting an Essex blowdry.

I think she just played along because she knew they would get prizes if she did.

...yeah absolutely I think she had sussed it from quite early on, Peggy...BB weren't exactly subtle with all of the 'disaster' stuff so you would have been dumb not to ...she just sat there waiting for her goodies and playing the game with the rest of them....

[Northern Monkey]

I think BB let a hm tell her it was a task to get her fat ass out of the bog.

I genuinely find your observation amazing....and I don't doubt that's how you feel....I just can not see it at all....even by Gemmas standards I found the birthday episode one of her worst....I really did....so obviously staged by BB, the others and herself....no genuine emotion from the birthday girl and no reaction from her at all to the task results....then over indulged with gifts on a scale never been given to any other housemates past or present....and yet again, she didn't have to do the task, even though the task was to earn a party for herself....I think it's just cheating and it's just boring

She is only a good sport when she choses to be,usually when something will benefit her.

[Visage]

Not only did she know it was a task, the others knew she was aware too.

You can see how it played out when Scotty threw the cake against the wall.

While we the viewer knew it was coming, I was expecting some kind of drama with this, something like Scotty coming out with the cake and Steph along with Tiffany trying to take a piece, he then tries to stop them by dropping the cake or getting angry and throwing.

He came out and threw it straight away and Gemma just laughed it off.

It makes more sense that someone (Daniella/Steph) whispered in her ear whilst in the toilet that she should play along and take a shower because they're on a secret task.

I doubt anyone told her.

I think bb were stupid to think that it would work.

You are so very astute, PP. It's why I love your posts so much

[sampvt]

Gemma does what gemma wants, when gemma wants to and does not do what she dislikes which is why she is so fat and disliked, period. You don't get to that size by being active and concerned.

[hijaxers]

Gemma a good sport she wouldn't know a good sport if one slapped her in the face.
I find that to be a totally ridiculous statement Gemma is selfish, self absorbed and she has been anything but a good sport from the moment she walked through the door.
