Before TOWIE, Gemma was a slim girl selling BMW cars and apparently she was very good, although I imagine selling tacky BMWs to people in Essex isn't hard (I find it a very materialistic place).
TOWIE is not a job in any sense of the word hence why she's ballooned to double her original size. She now owns a plus size clothing shop but if she's been wearing her stock in the house I'd say its about as 'on trend' as Roy Cropper's coat and she probably only sells to her mates and saddo people who are her fans.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with Stephanie and this means she'll just move from bloke to bloke, in very much the same vein Sheridan Smith does and before you know it she'll be 40 and on her own.
As for David Gest, it comes to something when he is the most normal!

Oi, oi. Let up on the Essex bashing please! We're not all (i'm fact mostly not) like those TOWIE idiots and i speak as somebody that has gone out in Brentwood hundreds (if not thousands) of times over the last 25 years as I have friends living there! That said, people Gemma Collins and Megan really don't present us in the best light.
Odd that you should mention Sheridan Smith, Steph Davis was involved in some weird, extended romantic mix up with her as, let me remember this right, Steph Davis dated her co star Charlie Clapham (Freddie) who dummped her for Tamara Black (Grace). She had been going out with Greg Wood (Trevor) who then moved on to Sheridan Smith). Then, he took up with Black again behind Smith and Clapham's back! Oh, Wood had been married to somebody else when he first took up with Black as well.

I was talking to a guy on holiday a couple of years ago who was from Essex, lovely fella and we were both having a laugh and a huge cringe at how the people of Essex and the North East were coming across on programmes TOWIE and Geordie Shore, oh it's embarrassing! redface4 Watching last night's BOTS and quite enjoying it with the old Loose Women lot. Good to see Carol McGiffin looking so well after her cancer ordeal and Denise Welch is looking much more fresh faced now she's given up the booze, she was looking a wreck when she was drinking so heavily. So after THAT all Megan gets is a formal warning? She didn't even look all that shame-faced when she went back into the house! They've got some brass neck these people, I'd have been too embarrassed to show my face again. IMO she should have been out, she was a raving lunatic. Well if she's going to be there a great punishment would be to allow her no more alcohol while she's in the house, total alcohol bar for her. With a bit of luck she'd kick off and get kicked out next time. Who's that friend of Stephanie trying to kid? She can be very naive and not realise how things come across? Eh?! Aside from the fact that she's totally media savvy IMO, she's been SHOWN how she's coming across and was still jumping all over Jeremy. There's no excuse!

Oh my goodness excellent tv last night! From the argy bargy over the bloody shoes - you cannot gift something to someone and then decide to take it back because they are not seen as popular in the house. Gemma is a fat c-bomb. Absolutely hilarious with self obsessed little Stephanie banging on and on about herself and her tiresome man trouble in the diary room complete with the fake tears for effect and hopeful camera time and public sympathy only to be hoiked out by BB when Megan had that absolutely hilarious meltdown and the rather ineffectual security was called. I also noticed that Angie got absolutely no camera time so she is doubtless to be out tonight. Should have gone earlier in the week with a big of dignity.

What about me Lotty? Born in the North East, bred in Essex. There should be no hope for me if you believe those shows!
I do find it incredible that they've only given her a warning and not even a final one - just "any repeat we will have to consider removing you from the House". There were several different rule breaks as far as i could see.
Threatening behaviour, racist slur (unlike plate of chicken, I do think the Ghetto comment was using connotations about the race of people that live in them in a malicious way), damage to property (she had a go at the camera in the Diary Room.
But she only gets a warning?
I don't like saying this tyoe of thing but I bet any of the men (especially the young ones) would have been ejected if they'd behaved like that.
If you ask me, BB are winding them up on purpose. Not just with the tasks (reading tweets out, repeating stuff they've said, even from the DR which is meant to be confidential, at least until after they are out) but also by giving them alcohol and threatening not to let them smoke like in the Puppet task, even if it was only for a day. A day is a long time for an addict to go without smoking, especially when stressed as they are in there. Add that onto them having trouble sleeping because of snoring and not eating much - no wonder some are close to breaking really. Especially when they're used to getting their own way as i suspect Megan is
BTW, Lauren is the gobby teenager in Catherine Tate.

To be fair my impressions of Essex are based on that show and visiting Basildon a few times....
I mentioned Sheridan Smith not realising their convoluted liaisons intertwined are they playing "man snap" lol

I've never managed to sit through a whole episode of TOWIE despite it being set so close and having been a regular at many of their haunts. I just found them all so stupid, irritating and dreadful advert for the County i couldn't bare to stay tuned!
Basildon is dreadful as well. It is actually my nearest large town now (about 4 miles away) but I avoid going in as much as possible, preferring to head back to Chelmsford (about 12 miles away, where i grew up) instead. Festival Leisure Park (BasVegas) is a cesspit of life in the early hours of the morning! I do go to the cinema there though as there is so much parking, restaurants next to it so it's convenient and we're usually clear by the time it gets awful.
Speaking of which, Megan and Gemma are now doing their Essex club dancing!
Megan, totally unrepentant about her behaviour last night. She didn't realise 'ghetto' could be seen as racist? Really?

Well done Megan, her lack of genuine remorse (IMO) for what she did last night has shoved Stephanie off my no.1 most hated housemate. In fact Stephanie doesn't seem quite as bad compared to this aggressive, entitled bitch. That kind of behaviour might be normal where she comes from but I doubt it is for most people. She's a spoilt, sour faced brat who's parents should have smacked her bottom, put her on the naughty step, grounded her or whatever a damn sight more than they must've done.
Megan only went back to 'apologise' when she'd been cleaned up and dressed, when she first went into the diary room that morning she was still stroppy, you could tell and boy she did not like getting told off did she? Surprised she didn't have another toddler tantrum! Some other housemate probably pointed out to her that she could have affected her chances so she thought she'd better hot foot it back into the diary room to apologise for what she did in there re the camera etc. She's as about as genuine as a £6 note.
Gemma is nothing but a shit-stirrer as well.

Gemma is nothing but a shit-stirrer as well. I have to agree wholeheartedly with you Lotts!! Megan has cleaned herself up and the slate has been cleaned, or so she thinks, but I bet there will be more to come because volatile creatures like her will not be able to help themselves. I for one still quite like John but the editing is atrocious as far as I am concerned. He is not as bad a person compared to some in the House! It just seems to be centred around all the young reality housemates who I knew nothing about apart from the headlines of Stephanie being sacked from Hollyoaks and Gemma from being an complete and utter arse on IAC. Although sometimes quite funny Gemma is a nasty, vindictive, controlling individual.

Killer nominations and no one went for Megan free-indifferent-smileys-697
I think I give up with this lot.
To me, as a viewer, what Megan did was worse than Tiffany because although Tiffany was bad at least it was for a reason (mix up) and she did calm down eventually and I honestly believe she was more contrite than Megan. I'm still not sure how Megan (or any of her supporters) think that what she did was justified for whatever reason she said?
Well John certainly knows that the knives are out for him now, Stephanie made a big deal of saying that she'd have gone for John too but I thought her and Gemma copped out just as much in their reason (what he did to Darren) just as much as John himself did when he chose Darren (I think he thought he wouldn't mind). They don't like John for a myriad of reasons not just that but they're obviously trying to curry favour with Darren or look like they're delivering justice. But I bet the pair of them would have HATED to be the only one who had to do public noms, he really was caught between a rock and hard place.

Completely agree with both of you.
As BB said, "this isn't a discussion" but she still didn't get it. She is being victimized by getting a warning?!?
Even when she went back to apologise (and i agree she only did it because other people are going to have said how it would look if she didn't) she might as well have said "I'm sorry you feel that way BB" as she took no responsibility.
She was sorry for saying 'Ghetto' but didn't know it was racist so not her fault. She was sorry for backchatting BB and hitting the camera but she was drunk and other people had wound her up so again, not her fault. Tiffany shouldn't have "come at her" when she wasn't talking to her, szo not megan's fault. She won't take back anything she said about John. Fair enough but you can apologise for how you said it you stupid mare.
Gemma is an utter shit stirrer and again, unrepentant about it, in fact she seemed quite proud of it! At least Daniella can see it and has called her on it, even if she did it in a 'jokey' way. Lot smarter than i think many would have assumed that one. Other than being a bit quick to demand that first Angie and then Tiffany be thrown out on Monday, I'm really liking Daniella. Rapidly becoming a fave with David and, surprisingly, Scotty T. I do like Darren as well, but he needs to stop being led by the nose, and I mean Gemma, not John.
So glad Gemma got closed down when she started up accusing John of making faces over the 'Essex club' dance thing.

Completely agree.
Tiffany took a long time to calm down and was horribly insensitive to a woman in shock, she also is too quick to go on the offensive and remember things wrongly.
But it did stem from a genuine misunderstanding and she seemed contrite the next day. She also, at times (on the live feed) seems very calm, rational, interested in others, reasonable and doesn't hold a grudge. Actually quite a nice person and i don't think she has sides to her. She blows up but once it is done, it is done and she is fine with the person she was arguing with.
Megan is just nasty, sulky and spoilt.
Megan should have been nominated but I understand why she wasn't with that. Lot nominating. Jeremy and Steph wouldn't do it as that young, reality bunch are sticking together except for Scotty T and I'm not sure he'd have nominated one of the others publicly. Gemma had already said she didn't think Megan had done anything wrong and was gunning for John. So Angie was the only possibility and I think she is the type to just let disagreements go, also she'd said it just sounded to her like Megan was desperate to be listened to so i think felt sorry for her.
Gemma is winding Tiff up now on the live feed about why they all dislike John for nominating Darren.

Surprised that Angie didnt go yesterday, but not unhappy that Nancy went, a very glamourous lady of a certain age but I just could not understand a word she said, and that rambling interview yesterday didnt make any sense or interest, nor Emma judging by her glazed expression.
Those unexpected noms were great but I suspect that apart from her meltdown, everyone in the house quite likes and gets on with Megan and she is young and very pretty which goes a long way in this world.
Not sure if John Patridge is a total arse or the editing is just making him look that way and yes Gemmma is a total s**t stirrer but its still great tv!

I personally don't think she is that overly pretty and what attractiveness she does possess is totally obliterated by her 'It's all about me' attitude which is so rife in youngsters today. 23 going on 13 in my eyes. I honestly think she wasn't voted because the other Housemates are a bit scared of her volatility and they don't want a repeat of the other evening.

Totally agree Wallis, I don't think Megan is anything to shout home about looks wise either (saucer of milk for lotty lol!). Good figure but facially I would say she's just normal. Personality wise I'm aware that I haven't seen her on anything else and on BB we get to see less than an hour of a full day, but going by what I've seen I'm not impressed. She seems very whiny and entitled! I doubt she's full of sunshine and smiles the other 23 hours that we don't see.
That's an interesting theory about why they didn't nominate Megan. It's a pity it wasn't private nominations again to see just how many of them would have chosen her. It makes me think the C5, for all their formal warnings, are enjoying her short-fuse as they think it keeps it 'interesting' free-rolleye-smileys-323
Can someone help me please because, other than put Darren up for eviction, I'm at a loss to understand why John is so hated?
