Couldn’t see another thread and the last one is full!

I love J/D and just have a huge grin on my face whenever they are on screen. Same with Wes and Laura. They genuinely seem to like each other.

100% think Adam has tried it on with Megan. He will have been surprised she didn’t pick him for a date, that kind of man does not understand rejection.

Charlie is super creepy. I don’t like blonde men at all though but he reminds me of the lad off This Is England....the one who was always fighting with the main lot.

It does seem very much catered for a younger audience this year, to the detriment of the show I think. I'm finding it a bit dull (though I'm clearly in the minority on this thread!). I'm not finding the people on it normal or relatable as I have in the past. I'm persevering but I keep falling asleep whilst watching!

Twirlywooer · 17/06/2018 07:53

I'm not enjoying it as much as last year. The one drink thing is ridiculous.

Just caught up with the countries/counties/continents chat. I have no words. How is that level of stupid even possible? She has to be putting it on. Either way, it's fucking embarrassing for her and her family.

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 17/06/2018 08:01

I watched the highlights show for the first time last night and enjoyed it more than the nightly program as it showed more chatter and silly things. That's really lacking in the main show. They all seem so boring but actually I think they're just being edited badly

mnahmnah · 17/06/2018 08:08

Yes, exactly. You see the fun side and general chat more. Upthread I recommended it for the pool action too. The producers really need to edit better for the nightly show. We don’t just want the relationship stuff. We need entertainment too.

PippaPepperpot · 17/06/2018 08:58

I might try the roundup show then. I've never bothered with it in the past. It's definitely missing something this year but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Blankscreen · 17/06/2018 09:12

It's my first year watching it and I am underwhelmed. Like someone else I keep dosing off whilst watching it.

Twirlywooer · 17/06/2018 09:14

I could watch a whole show of Jack doing impressions. He is the best boy in there by a country mile!

RideSallyRide76 · 17/06/2018 09:20

I think this year it's all set up for Dani to win

Definitely agree with this, I've noticed they get a lot of air time, even when they're not doing much.

I do like Dani and Jack but I do get fed up with these reality shows that are actually very tightly controlled and scripted.

I also watched the catch up for the first time last night and was surprised how good it was.

I honestly believe Hayley is that thick I don't believe she is faking it. It really is shocking.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 17/06/2018 09:38

She can't be. It's not possible: she said she thought Wales was a city and asked what an earlobe was the other night. Got.To.Be.An.Act.

And if it is, look it's working (!) as we're all talking about it :)

Thesearmsofmine · 17/06/2018 11:08

I watched the catch up show last night and agree it is much better to see them chatting and having fun instead of the constant dull relationship chat on the main show.

Well, someone who was at school with her, seems to know she has three A Levels at Grade B, including a science one, so I think Hayley was putting it on.
The others who were busy trying to teach her and making eyes of derision are the ones who have been duped.

RoseWhiteTips · 17/06/2018 11:20

Jack’s impressions are fantastic.

RoseWhiteTips · 17/06/2018 11:20

Especially his Eyal. 🤣

MondayNextWeek · 17/06/2018 11:41

I think Hayley is putting it on. Whereas I think Jade was genuine

Secretsquirrel101 · 17/06/2018 12:02

Jacks impressions had me absolutely creased up last night, he's brilliant.
I agree with you pippa it's definitely to the detriment of the show to go after younger audiences, it's just taking away all the fun and essentially the whole point of the show as it was.

Moonkissedlegs · 17/06/2018 12:11

Yeah I said Joey Essex started the whole 'thick character' thing because I do actually believe that Jade Goody wasn't faking it! East Angular.... God rest her soul.

I just watched a 'best of' of Hayley earlier and it was quite funny when she said that Eyal was too deep for her because he asked her what her favourite animal was! 😂

Feodora · 17/06/2018 12:51

I thought last year’s show also dialled down the sexual content from the previous two series.

Tinkalilly · 17/06/2018 12:58

I just thought why not move it till 10pm, and then have it a little more raunchy, no idea why it's on at 9 pm and toned down!!!!

Tinkalilly · 17/06/2018 13:04

My daughter is still up at 9pm, she's 12 and to young to watch, as I imagine is the same for other kids that age, if it was moved to 10pm, then I would of thought the majority of kids that age will be in bed!! At 16 onwards it would be fine I think to be raunchier. That's what I think. I watch it either on itv 2 +1 or on demand the day after when they r at school.

OutofSyncGirl · 17/06/2018 13:15

Last year it was on at 10pm. I don't know why they've moved it.

Katinkka · 17/06/2018 13:22

It’s definitely pretty lame this year. They’ve ruined it.

boboboobs1 · 17/06/2018 13:28

Has anyone watched ex on the beach before?

Chipstick10 · 17/06/2018 16:21

Has jack done impressions of anyone else or is it just Eyal ?

Katinkka · 17/06/2018 16:25

I have Bobo, It's OK. Also, 'Are you the one?' is in a similar vein but with Americans.
