"This year only 52% of junior doctors who finished the two-year foundation training after medical school chose to stay in the NHS and work towards becoming a GP or specialist " From the guardian.

I think Dani is into Jack but I bet her dad said a few things of what he wouldn’t want her doing before she went in.

Laura was annoying tonight but I can understand that jealousy particularly in a place like that, can really switch you. But that’s what it’s designed for.

I think Adam is just not emotionally experienced enough to deal with Rosie in an empathetic way.

Georgia is making up for being annoying. I have a jack Russell friend like her. Annoying but lovable.

We need some real men in now!

Boys vote, I reckon Wes will play it safe unless something majorly kicks off. So Samira and Rosie out unless the girls bring in a bit the day of the vote which they have done in the past, then only 1 will go.

I do feel sorry for new girls coming in that they have to take Alex on a date regardless of if they fancy him or not due to group pressure. I like Ellie. She likes Alex but she fancies Wes.

Without Adam though this would be super dull. As much as you want people to be treated nicely, you do want drama. It’s not first dates.

Sorry that was really long!

MiddleClassProblem · 20/06/2018 00:26

Alex is just this years Camilla. They’ll keep him as long as possible as long as he doesn’t do anything shady.

ScarletLouise · 20/06/2018 00:26

Will they be bringing some new boys in soon then?

Catastrophik · 20/06/2018 00:43

I hope there are new boys soon!!

MiddleClassProblem · 20/06/2018 00:43

In the past they have brought in a solo boy the day of recoupling, I think once or twice moments before and let them pick first. I think they have room for another couple so they could do that and send one girl home.

But the thing is the producers will have serveral options of what to do and will choose which ever they think is best for the drama. If they want people out they will make it so it’s likely to happen. If they have someone who fancies someone in a couple waiting in the sidelines, they’ll wait for the perfect moment to bring them in to create drama.

They’ll have a rough plan but allow themselves to deviate as necessary depending on islander actions and viewer response.

MiddleClassProblem · 20/06/2018 00:45

But longest you’ll wait for new boys is after recoupling. It’s normally alternates but like Megan coming in with the boys, they like to mix it up.

Bluntness100 · 20/06/2018 02:52

The thing is I think if Laura and Rosie had kept their shit together, acted more confident, less "give a shit" they would both be in a better place now. Both of them have or are pushing their partners away fast and not making themselves look very stable.

I think both were waiting for it to happen, Laura with the younger model, Rosie with a new girl, hence why she got shakey as soon as she knew they entered the villa. Both their biggest fears so they've reacted badly immediately.

I think Rosie will definetly be evicted and I suspect she knows it which will be adding to her upset. She's exactly in the same position as Kendall.

Adam will pick Zara and then Rosie will be forced to leave.

RainySeptember · 20/06/2018 06:55

I do believe them when they say it feels much longer than it really is. So ten days of 24/7 contact must feel like quite a long time, not just liking them but also feeling safely coupled up and in with a chance of winning.

Then to get cast aside like an old sock, must be hurtful even if you objectively know that's the whole premise of the show.

But I still couldn't feel sorry for Rosie, who was happy for Adam to treat Kendall that way. I think Adam is awful but have no sympathy for the girls who fall for his dubious charm after he has already shown everyone what he is.

And I think Wes would have been off with Ellie like a shot, but is backtracking a bit now he can see she might go for Alex; he doesn't want to end up without anyone.

HelloGabriel · 20/06/2018 07:10

Wasn't it around this stage last year they sent 'Muggy Mike' in?

I really hope they send in a slightly older, drop dead gorgeous super-hunk to blow that twat Adam out of the water Grin

Runninglateeveryday · 20/06/2018 07:14

I feel for Laura she is letting herself down a bit but wes has behaved badly. He was all over her now ignores her, told her he was falling for her, even spoke about living together, she was the one slowing it down.

deptfordgirl · 20/06/2018 07:33

Not sure if it's the hair but Alex does seem to be getting better looking. And Ellie is very sweet. Hilarious to see him back peddling when he said about how everyone presumes he wants an intelligent girl when talking to Ellie. I think Laura was protecting herself emotionally when Wes was going on about falling for her and it's lucky that she did after his behaviour.

deptfordgirl · 20/06/2018 07:36

I hope there's a guy for Samira though. She's lovely and entertaining so would be a real shame for her to go but she will if she doesn't find anyone.

DamsonGin · 20/06/2018 07:40

There was a brief moment yesterday when it looked like Alex had a proto-Adam-beard, where he had maybe left some stubble on after shaving. I hope not, that's not who he should be emulating.

OutofSyncGirl · 20/06/2018 07:50

I think Rosie mistakenly felt that she could make Adam fall for her. Whereas as someone else here said, he chose her only because he realised Kendall would not 'put out' but she would.

I think it speaks volumes that Adam sees Kendall, Rosie and Zara as looking the same just because they all have brown hair. He's the worst fuck boy in the history of the world.

I so hope that they send some gorgeous guy in to rival Adam. He needs taking down a peg or 20!

deptfordgirl · 20/06/2018 07:52

So sweet of Georgia to join Rosie. They came in together didn't they? They seem to built loyalties when they arrive together. The real connections this year do seem to be between the guys as a group and the girls.

Timeisslippingaway · 20/06/2018 07:59

I think it speaks volumes that Adam sees Kendall, Rosie and Zara as looking the same just because they all have brown hair. He's the worst fuck boy in the history of the world.

^this, he actually said "they could be sisters", why because they all have long brown hair? What the fuck?

Georgia annoys me just as much as Rosie, they act very childish, Georgia is an attention seeking show off.

areyoubeingserviced · 20/06/2018 08:01

Agree that they need to send in a seriously sexy , older and very confident hunk to shake things up a bit.
Rosie and Laura should have played it cool as they have both made a fool of themselves. Men don’t like desperate women

DamsonGin · 20/06/2018 08:11

Do you think on the forms they filled in when they applied there was an option under 'Whats your type?' to tick 'Not a cock', and some of them just forgot that bit?

QueenOfMyWorld · 20/06/2018 08:30

A new older man is definitely needed to shit the boys up.Has anyone noticed they never put red head women (or men? ) in?

OutofSyncGirl · 20/06/2018 08:39

I don't think Rosie or Laura have acted desperate. Wes was telling Laura he was falling for her last week now suddenly he needs to get to know other people(!) and Adam did give Rosie the impression that he was going to be more trustworthy.

'Men don't like desperate women' and women have the right to tell a man when they've treated her badly.

MiddleClassProblem · 20/06/2018 08:52

But then she isn’t communicating effectively with him and complaining he’s not communicating. She said she backed off to give him space to test to talk to Ellie but she didn’t say anything to him. To me that says she wanted to test him and as she said he should have come to her which is the test.

If she had just said “I can give you some space today just to see how you feel” then he could have agreed or not it would have been far less game playing.

If someone backs off from you, sure you could go after them but you might not want to crowd them, you might think they obviously want space or you might not realise as it’s been a couple of hours but you’re still in the same house etc.

I’m not saying he’s innocent in all this but she’s not helping herself even before the cream incident.

TheNavigator · 20/06/2018 08:54

Adam was vile in how he treated Rosie, why do we give men a free pass and blame 'desperate' women for somehow making them behave like utter bastards? She was upset and he sat there smirking. He could have said 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's not you, it's me.' All the things women say to cushion the blow when they want to move on. No need to be a smug head fuck, regardless of how the other person behaves.

fairylightsdown · 20/06/2018 08:59

Queenofmyworld- they had a red head girl in series 1. She didn't do well romtically-wise, but everyone loved her. She was pretty cool and good fun, just not stereotypically attractive.

ScarletLouise · 20/06/2018 09:13

It would be nice if they sent in a gorgeous bloke who then coupled up with Rosie.
Even though Adam doesn't give a toss about her I think it would still piss him off that she was no longer bothered about him
