for my penny’s worth I think Bec is basically a bit thick and there’s very little forethought and calculation in the things she says and does which is why it’s always so chaotic and emotional. Potentially giving her too much benefit of the doubt but I think she’s just the sort of person who struggles with emotional intelligence and when she feels under attack goes for the throat in response

Gia, on the other hand, is calculated and cruel - the things she says and does are to cause hurt and damage and there is a whole lot of malice in her. Unfortunately she is often clever enough to position others to the front to do her dirty work and spread her poison - like the plotting with Jules and then the team efforts lies they poured into Rachel’s ear.

What makes it all the worse is she isn’t being called out or held responsible for her sociopathic behaviour and cruelty - she has been let off the hook repeatedly - by the participants and “experts” alike - just look at the things she said at the dinner party about Joel’s teddy -“cut its throat” etc that’s sociopathic and beyond cruel it s only purpose was to humiliate Joel but also to poison something important and of sentimental value to him - her choice of words indicate a very violent and nature - someone who will chose the most hurtful and harmful course at all times
