What idiot only drinks water during a marathon, honestly!! They hand out Lucozade the whole way round the race which means she made a conscious decision to only stick to water. The ED'd thinking is so obvious.

And I agree, it's so irresponsible of her to add the "with an injury!!1" to the title of the vid - what a terrible example to set, and what a kick in the teeth to anyone who didn't match her time. Really just goes to show how ana/orthorexia are such horrible, competitive diseases.

Holly talking about loving all the podcasts in her last video actually makes me so sad for her - she clearly loves all the 'girly chats' ones and calls them the taboo topics, but they're just normal things that best girl friends talk about literally all the time, and she doesn't know that because she doesn't have close friends.

I’m mildly horrified that Holly appears to have made her ‘no more condoms’ video after being diagnosed with
an STI. Also that she appears to have had lots of tests for irregular periods and not mentioned under-eating and over-exercising. She’s coming across as quite delusional.

I don't know if any of you guys watched AliceDoesPhysics, I actually used to love her videos and I wish she still uploads them. She now works at the Met Office and seems to have a great work-life balance. She commented on Holly's latest video:

I think it's either the race, or her biology channel. In the comments of her videos, people have mentioned her calling it "BiHollyG" a play of words on biology and by holly g, and in her stories her said "get ready for something BiG" where BiG kinda reminds me of the name spelled like that, but it could just be to be quirky idk
Calling it that would be a terrible idea, I'd be thinking it's some sort of bisexuality-related venture rather than anything to do with biology

Her hair looks so much better than that awful bun, I hope she keeps up with keeping it curly, it looked really nice. I guess her mother could be counted upon to rain on her parade when Holly was so excited about the curl formation (I've done curly girl and the first time you see curls frame your face - it's so shocking in a good way). Her sister could just about squeeze out a compliment , "It'll get better the more you do it."
it's honestly kind of impressive that she's managed to accomplish so much despite her family. it's also sad because she probably feels a huge pressure to prove to herself that she can do something her family will be proud of, when they're all assholes and will never be proud of her in the way she wants them to.

I don't understand how she's settled for such a mediocre existence after trying so hard and graduating from top universities in the world.

And here's me getting up before sunrise everyday to go to an actual real job in the outside world, like the majority of people in the UK during the winter.
I swear influencers act like they are so special getting up at 5-6am everyday for the shits and giggles as if most people aren't forced to anyway just to pay the bills.

There’s something ever so slightly ironic about buying eco-friendly pens from Amazon because you want to be sustainable.

she spends half of it putting the blame on viewers for letting her down, saying things like, "I almost lost faith in you guys."
that was by far the weirdest part of the video for me, and she said it multiple times. I felt like I was being gaslit by her 😆 how are you gonna brazenly blame your viewers for not enjoying your shitty content?? It felt like she’s scolding her audience for not giving her views. Like what???

Also in the recent video, it’s proof Holly is treading on egg shells around her mum trying to reassure her of everything. Oh and also Caroline’s clear control/clean issues.

Holly spills some oats in the microwave and proceeds to explain she’s ‘lucky her mum was doing a lateral flow test’ (because she wasn’t in the kitchen) and then proceeds to reassure her mum ‘I’ll sort it mum don’t worry I’ll sort it’.... can’t her mum trust that her 23 year old daughter will tidy her own mess? Jesus

And then there was when Holly was sitting on the floor instead of the sofa. Hollys mum firstly asks her why she’s on the floor, and then goes on to say that Holly ‘can’t sit on the sofa now’ because she’s ‘got all dirty’ from sitting on her (probably) immaculately hoovered wood flooring. Absolutely ludicrous?

Holly will be real annoyed to hear that I got a distinction in my Master's degree while also working part time on a 16 hour contract (which had weeks that were more like double that because there was some shit going on in the company at the time) so she doesn't actually need to do these productive/stressful/intense day in the life videos because you can succeed without being so intense about it.

New video. Holly's final results have come in and, no surprise, she got a distinction. I will never, EVER understand why she chooses to sit in her bedroom all day with an amazing degree like that. I know doing a PhD isn't for everyone but what is the point of doing a highly specialized research degree when you don't even want to go into research in the first place? What is the point of it all? Spending £ 15,000 on a master's degree so Holly can show off to a bunch of strangers on the internet and film herself doing self-designed fitness tests and tick one more box off of her to-do list? What a waste!

Another weird thing was how adamant Holly was about not wanting to do online dating because she'd prefer to meet a potential future boyfriend 'naturally', in real life. Like okay, if she's really not into online dating that's fine, not all people are. But maybe it couldn't hurt to at least try it once?

Especially since I really don't understand how on earth Holly is expecting to meet someone naturally when she's living like this... After all, she has just decided to pursue making science explanation videos on her second channel as her full-time job, meaning she now has a job that doesn't require her to leave her parents' house like, ever. She also isn't doing any other activities with other people outside of her parents' house (apart from very occasionally meeting up with a female friend in London). She sleeps in her childhood bedroom, goes on runs through the nearby fields, does workouts on her own in her bedroom, films videos in her bedroom, and cooks/eats by herself in her parents' kitchen. I fail to see how she's going to meet a man to date that way, unless it's a burglar. Or the postman maybe.

Sorry but I don't have issues with Holly going for two walks in a day when she's literally not leaving her house other than that and you've got people like Jade who have been to 5 countries in the past year. Holly isn't contributing to the spread.

Holly in her new video: "You know, in my videos it always looks like my family and me are such a great very happy family" - Me, staring at the screen in disbelief: "Uhm actually Holly, it really really doesn't look that way?"

This was part of her new video where she explained that there had been a big family fight (with raised voices and crying) in the morning which threw off her original plans for her Vlogmas video that day. Originally she wanted to film a video about food guilt but then she didn't because she had been crying and didn't want to do the video with a red blotchy face.

She said that the fight is over and everything is completely fine now, and that "yes, I love living at home", and that she "has a lot of independence living at home", and she is very grateful for her family, and that her viewers should not tell her when to move out because that is her decision alone. And I'm just. Idk it just feels bad watching this, it makes me really sad. And I know this is a gossip forum and everything but I don't even want to gossip or criticize Holly cause I just feel so bad for her. :/

And yes of course she should move out asap.
