I honestly don’t know how anyone could like girls like Paige or Gemma. Surely they just remind everyone of the nasty, clique-y “popular” girls at school who treated everyone else like dirt under their shoe, whether it was because their family had a bit of £ or they were conventionally good looking?
I’m convinced anyone who likes them/backs them up are one of the following: 1) bad judges of character; 2) the kind of person who just admires and automatically adores pretty girls or 3) they were that girl themselves in school/they act in similar ways now so see no issue with it.
You have to understand that the kind of people who go on these TV shows - no matter how ‘nice’ they seem - have to be a certain level of arrogant to even be on these kinds of things. Secondly, you also can’t take them all at face value. The ones who mess up, make mistakes or make decisions others disagree with are usually the ones who are the most genuine, whereas the ones who play it safe are being strategic. Everyone thought Paige was an absolute doll, but she was just acting for the cameras. They’re not stupid and they want to be in that final for the best possible outcome when they get out.
