She did the same on Ex on the Beach. Had underlying issues with other contestants, would have a few drinks, someone would light the touch paper and all hell would break loose.
She certainly has some anger issues.
As mad as a box of frogs. I thought they were supposed to be evaluated before they put them in the house (hence why Westbrook didn't go in last year) - they only needed to watch Ex on the Beach to see she is clearly deranged when she's had a drink.She certainly has some anger issues.
The trouble is, she's a nobody that thinks she's a somebody. I'm guessing she's as spoilt as f
k & never been told "No" to anything. Arguably most of them in there are washed up / hasbeens / neverhavebeens, but at least most of them are pretty well known - Westbrook & John have been in Eastenders, Maloney was on X-Factor, Gest was married to Liza Minelli etc. She's off a not very known show which 99% of people will never have even heard of, let alone watched. I'm pretty council though so I know who she is
All that aside, last night was very funny & it's surely a matter of time before she goes off on one again. For those of you that watched Ex on the Beach, I think we should ask C5 to put the lad called "Bear" in - he could wind her up like a clock

Blimey, haven't they all got some shoulders!Weird program. So let's hit the psyche of the viewers. Let's just dream for a while.
Old farts like me do nothing unless they seriously object, and then send a strongly worded email. Younger folks seem to follow role models, and then they object throw a can of redbull. That is the PHisms introduced, so bear with me.
Tonight we see Nancy get evicted on the basis of a vote which is voting to "save" a contestant. There have been all sorts of shenanigans that probably would have had old farts like me tutting a bit this week. In that time, Nancy has disappeared and done nothing of note.
Lets just imagine that the Geordie Shore / TOWIE / EotB viewing demographic love all the angst which is typical behaviour when they watch these people on the other programs, so they use their phones which are now cojoined with their palms to vote for their role model - because that is what entertains them. Of course, us old farts don't watch that crap, and see it as outrageous behaviour and become all Angry of Mayfair about it.
We don't think to invest in just one vote for Nancy - well simply because we don't see her, she behaves as we would expect and therefore there is nothing to do. But there is no way for us to send that strongly worded email about how disgusted we are with the upstarts.
After the vote, us old farts all sit here tutting about the st stirrers and, er, how can I put this, less virtuous housemates and wonder how it happened.
Anyone here over 40 voted at all? I think we are watching another generation putting the show together for us. No complaints about that, but it is interesting seeing the way it is panning out and trying to fathom out how it happens.
I have a feeling it is designed that way.

^ Has ever been the case since the voting changed on these programmes from "Vote to evict" to "Vote to save" a few years back.
Me, being an old fart and cynical, would suggest the reason for changing the voting was to encourage more people to vote for their favourite to be saved rather than everyone just voting for who'd been the most of a prick since the last vote. More votes = more money to the show.
However, a by-product is that the people will vote for who they remember, so whereas previously the pricks would have got voted out, now they get voted to stay. So the programme fills with an ever increasing toxic mix of pricks, whilst the interesting , quieter characters get removed.
I'm bored with the format, it's like watching a choreographed bh fight where the BB producers are pulling the strings to instigate confrontation. It's a shame because I'm sure at least some of these people could actually be quite funny given half a chance.

I'm another middle aged curmudgeon here, but this is the first series I have watched in years. I definitely feel even further removed from the 20 somethings than usual and really feel for the parents of both Steph' and Megan. I'd be devastated if I had a daughter who was so desperate for fame, that she would see being drunk and shagging as a career move. It's also pretty clear that personal responsibility is a totally alien concept to them.
I don't like that Gemma Collins either. A few days ago she agreed with John looking out for Darren Day and that a return to cigarettes could be a stepping stone back towards using drink or drugs. (as a drug worker I know from experience, that this is actually correct) John did talk to Darren about it, prior to nominating, but he refused to see any connection. What John did (if his motive really was to try and protect Darren from himself) was what a true friend would do. I think Angie also said as much? Now though, Gemma is stirring the anti John pot and showing just how 2 faced she really is.
