Template:Blog3 Horrid Flatmates is the sixty-eighth video in the Lonelygirl15 video series.

Transcript

Gemma: Hi everyone! Bree, I haven't heard from you for a few days - hope everything's okay. Well, since it's quiet on your end, I thought we could talk about my life here. I guess the biggest culture shock ...flatmates. I mean the nicest people can turn into these nasty demon...beasts. Not Danielbeasts mind you - real beasts. They're brilliant on nights out, but the next morning, they're utter nightmares.

(Gemma has a loud mock argument with herself, switching from standing over the bed, to lying on it. Some portions of the conversation are sped up 300% but the whole of it seems to be random accusations about lack of cleanliness.)

And the food situation...that's just rubbish. I came home from Uni and found my biscuit tin empty. There was a trail of crumbs leading to my flatmate's room. And when I confronted her, she shrugged. I guess I need to put a padlock on the cupboard. And then this gunk in the drain that greets me for my morning bath. To be fair, they probably think I'm the one with the nasty habits or unsavoury personality. ...That's not true (laughs). Even though it's hard sometimes, it has made me appreciate different lifestyles. So that's it then. (waves) Cheers. Bree, I hope to hear from you soon.

Notes

• This was posted two days after Bree's last video, which was a mild cliffhanger, and serves to increase anxiety for Bree and her parents by pointing out the Bree's silence.
• The British term "biscuit" is equivalent to the American "cookie", however the tag "bisquit" is not a British spelling, but an apparent typo.

Analysis

Fans speculate that Gemma uses an elaborate form of double talk in her videos, giving Bree advice without revealing her intentions to The Order, which is likely monitoring her actions. CuriouslyCurious posted the following insightful analysis of this video:

Hi everyone! Bree, I haven’t heard from you for a few days - hope everything’s okay.
Well, since it’s quiet on your end, (SINCE YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME)I thought we 
could talk about my life here. (I WANT TO HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I’M PROBABLY 
BEING MONITORED) I guess the biggest culture shock (THIS COULD BE A SHOCK TO 
YOU)…flatmates (THE CULT MEMBERS). I mean the nicest people can turn into these 
nasty demon beasts (DONT TRUST THEM - DONT TRUST LUCY). Not Danielbeasts mind you 
(YOU ARE SAFE WITH DANIEL)- real beasts (THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK). They’re 
brilliant on nights out, but the next morning, they’re utter nightmares (JUST LIKE 
THE “CEREMONY” THEY FORCED YOU TO LIE ABOUT). 

[Gemma has a loud argument with herself, switching from standing over the bed, to 
lying on it] (PORTRAYING THE INNER STRUGGLE SHE “BREE” IS HAVING WITH HERSELF)

And the food situation…that’s just rubbish (THE DIET AND THE SHOTS). I came home 
from Uni and found my biscuit tin empty (YOU WILL GO HOME TO FIND YOUR HOUSE EMPTY 
- PARENTS GONE). There was a trail of crumbs leading to my flatmate’s room (IT WILL 
BE BECAUSE OF THE CULT). And when i confronted her, she shrugged (AND THEY WILL 
CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEIR DISAPPEARANCE). I guess I need to put a padlock on 
the cupboard (BE CAREFUL DONT GO TO THEM). And then this gunk in the drain that 
greets me for my morning bath (YOU WILL ONLY MEET WITH A SIMILAR FATE IF YOU DO). 

To be fair, they probably think I’m the one with the nasty habits or unsavory 
personality. (YOU PROBABLY DONT KNOW WHO YOU SHOULD TRUST, ESPECIALLY ME, AS I TOO 
LIVED THIS LIFESTYLE)…That’s not true [laughs](PLEASE TRUST ME IM NOT LYING). 

Even though it’s hard sometimes, it has made me appreciate different lifestyles (I 
BARELY MADE IT OUT, BUT I DID, AND YOU CAN TOO - DONT BE AFRAID). 

So that’s it then. [waves] Cheers. Bree, I hope to hear from you soon (IM SCARRED 
FOR YOU, PLEASE BE ALRIGHT - AND CONTACT ME SOON).
