Not agreeing with the pot-stirrer tag. I might be wrong about this but I don't see her as a pot-stirrer at all, just someone who has very low self-esteem who says the things she says to try and bring others down to her level (ahem). If this is indeed her strategy to win BB then she must have rocks in her head.
"I'm the spoon, you're the stirrer" Gemma Calls It
Look out - fiery Gemma's got a new strategy!
With this year’s first Live Eviction just around the corner, the four Nominated Pairs appear to be modifying their game plans to maximise their chances of survival.
Sandra & David, Skye & Lisa, and Travis & Cat have adopted similar strategies of solidarity, actively working this week on strengthening their individual partnerships with dedicated Pair-time.
Skye & Lisa spent time together training newest and cutest Housemates Ned and Kelly; Sandra & David have sought out some “marriage counselling” to ease their bickering; and new Pair Travis & Cat have whiled away the days with poolside D&Ms.
On the contrary, Nominations tally-toppers Gemma & Jake, who copped almost 40% of all Nomination points with 17 strikes, are going for broke with a rather audacious strategy that’s sure to get tongues wagging!
“We don’t need the people in
here to like us, we need the people out
there to like us,” Gemma whispered to Pair partner Jake in the Lounge, divulging her new plan to deliberately cause tension in the House.
“So you’re purposely trying to make enemies?” Jake enquired, trying to get inside his Pair partner’s head.
“No no! I’m just
talking about people. Not always in a negative way… Just verbalising my feelings on other Housemates,” Gemma explained.
She assured Jake that she would remain true to herself, but thinks it more advantageous to be positioned at the eye of the House storm rather than keeping a lid on her frustrations and grievances.
“You do say things to people that ruffle feathers, and I’m just in two minds,” Jake countered. “Me personally, I don’t really have any battles, and I know you’re starting a few. At the moment, I don’t know whether to play passive about it and not get involved, or to create more conflict.”
Gemma suggested that together they could create quite a stir. “It might be advantageous if I am used as the scapegoat,” she mused. “I’m the spoon, you’re the stirrer…”
The fiery redhead decided to put her new strategy to the test shortly after when Priya challenged her about speaking to other Housemates behind her back.
“Gemma, have you been telling everyone that you’re pissed at me, because you haven’t told me?” Priya challenged. “You and I are close; you can say that to me.”
“You’re argumentativeness has offended me today,” Gemma replied bluntly, before accusing Priya of buying into gossip. “Second-hand information is no information at all.”
When Priya left the room, Gemma collapsed in a heap of laughter.
“This is great,” Jake commended her on her efforts, suggesting that he may now be on board with the risky strategy.
Unbeknownst to the scheming Pair, though, fellow Housemates Sam and Sandra had been eavesdropping on their earlier conversation and had heard the entire setup play out!
But perhaps Gemma and Jake have neglected the golden rule of good strategising - that it remains secret!
