Do people on here actually vote on this show, like actually spend money?

Wow

Darlin · 09/07/2018 11:59

I always watch the episode a bit later so I never get to vote

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 09/07/2018 11:59

It's free to vote

Darlin · 09/07/2018 12:00

How much does it cost then? To vote

Darlin · 09/07/2018 12:00

Ok cool

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 09/07/2018 12:02

Ah, my mistake then, thought it was one of those £2.50 a text type of things.

I think Laura may walk of her own violition, jack rejecting her last night, quickly on the heels of wes doing it I think may be a humiliation too far for her. I guess much depends on who comes out tonight.

The issue is this villa is full of kids. Some of them as young as twenty. And then you've Laura who is approaching 30. She's getting too caught up in it and being too desperate to be in a couple, even though she knows that it doesn't work with the guy. I felt really sorry for her last night, it was embarrassing for jack to reject her in national tv, even though he handled it as gently as he could given the circumstances.

When she was giving it she cares for him, sees a future with him, and dumped him due to pressure from Georgia, I lost a little respect for her. I don't think she even believed it, she was just desperate to be in a couple.

The kiss thing is so blown out of proportion, it's ridiculous. It was a quick peck at the end of a date. However if it's shown I think Ellie will maximise it to attack her further. Possibly when they are all out of there they can see it for what it was and put it into perspective.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/07/2018 12:18

I don’t vote either. I too thought it involved a premium rate call. Still wouldn’t bother, though given the amount of manipulation that is going on.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/07/2018 12:23

The kids wasn’t just a peck though - that would have probably been regarded as a polite “neutral” kiss in a way.

What turned it into something else, entirely, was the way in which Georgia clasped the back of Jack 2’s neck in an intimate manner and compounded this by forcing a second kiss. Then smirking.

Nasty girl.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/07/2018 12:23

...kiss wasn’t

WhyOhWine · 09/07/2018 12:23

I 6think it is a bit unfair on Jack 2 if they dont show the video. On the other hand, showing really does leave Georgia open for a lot of flack which may be too much.
Maybe they should just show it to one person, say Dani, and let them decide what to do with the info. It would be a good test for Dani too.

Bluntness100 · 09/07/2018 12:24

I honestly saw it as no more than an affectionate peck.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/07/2018 12:24

Don’t leave, Laura. It’s a game.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/07/2018 12:28

I hope if the top two are Jack1 and Dani they are thrown into a state of trepidation. They are sooooooooo nice, they won’t want to hurt anyone. A quandary. Haha

I find it frustrating that the show has an enormous platform & reach & the girls in general have nothing about them apart from how they look. Now this may be due to actual personalities or editing but I just find what is presented to us is lacking. Personality is what makes you fall in love with someone so to speak, hence why Jack1 is such a favourite but I don’t really feel I know any of the girls personality except maybe Laura. Who’s the funny one? the listener? etc

I def prefer Jack 1 to Dani (going on what I've seen) but looking at the poll Dani is waaaay more popular than Jack. Is that because it's a largely female audience voting? I think it's strange. Dani is (portrayed as) quite dull whereas Jack is the cute and entertaining one. I'd have expected it to be more equally weighted between them.

ChampooPapi · 09/07/2018 12:41

@londonista yes, Laura has put herself in a difficult situation really. He said himself why would she want to stay with him when he agreed about her points of why they should cool things off.

And if he flip flopped and just contradicted that he would not be the honest and reliable person she is actually looking for.

I really like Laura and feel sorry for her in this, however she shouldn't have made up with Georgia then gone back on that, I understand why!

But she should have just said she was still confused and upset in the morning and left it at that until the girls day out. Then she could have still blasted Georgia without her seeming like she was backtracking on their agreed loyalty & friendship.

Georgia is being very self centered but she is so young and I honestly believe she'll be gutted when she remembers some of her behaviour in ten years! She's a good girl really, just a bit young for the program I think and still reeling from the Josh situation.

nowifi · 09/07/2018 12:48

I think Samira has a good personality! I voted for her.

Bluntness100 · 09/07/2018 12:50

I think Laura can display a lot of maturity, for example the break up with wes aftermath, the initial break up with jack, the making up with Georgia and Megan . Then she goes and behaves very needily, like all the arguments with wes before they broke up, the changing her mind and trying to blame Georgia on the jack thing, the trying to get back with jack.

I really think it lets her down. She's really attractive and should be guys like wes and jacks fantasy and well out of their league, but they are rejecting her and I suspect it's largely about her behaviour. It's a shame but I don't think the show is doing her mental health or self esteem any good. There needs to be some older men brought in, mid thirties, who are looking for more than Megan's tits and ass. It's a shame she doesn't fancy alexs but even he is younger than her.

Shambu · 09/07/2018 12:51

It wasn't just a peck, it was a play for Jack. Having said she didn't fancy him she came back and said they had a connection. She didn't need to kiss him at all.

It all backfired completely. But if it was up to Georgia she would be with Jack not Sam - who really likes her and she is just using him.

ChampooPapi · 09/07/2018 12:51

Really like Samira but we don't see enough of her!

Zampa · 09/07/2018 12:51

I'll be disappointed if the two people to go aren't just the two most unpopular.

ChampooPapi · 09/07/2018 12:56

@Shambu so true. She is pretty transparent, supprised Sam doesn't see it, she is a young thing that's for sure. Otherwise she'd be way better at working it and remaining friends/couples while she snaked Wink

The wisdom and ability of secret manipulation when one is a bit older ! While keeping everyone pretty sweet in the process.

Girl got a lot to learn...Evil cackle Grin

unique1986 · 09/07/2018 12:56

Oh I can guarantee it won't be the two most unpopular
Kaz and Frankie or Ellie and Charlie
Just can't see Grace going or Sam
Alex will probably survive till the last week or the final.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 09/07/2018 12:59

I like Laura but agree she won’t find what she’s looking for in there.

I find Samira a bit fake - I just don’t believe her when she’s being enthusiastic or the way she gives pep talks with her “cup of positivi-tea” bollocks.

Georgia reminds me of Bonnie Langford - drama school nightmare and again, I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth. Even with the Josh situation, she seemed more angry than sad that he came back with Kaz, and she was a snake on that date with Jack 2.

I feel sorry for Megan as she’s aware that men only like her for the way she looks. It’s a case of “be careful what you pay £50k for wish for” I guess.

DP says Dani sounds like she’s talking with a mouthful of tea and biscuits, so now whenever she talks it makes me laugh.

Speaking of biscuits, I thought Alex 2 was hot but the way he talked about Megan was a bit Hmm - quite proprietorial, that he saw what he wanted and went for it

I’m strangely sad to see Adam go, even though I agree he was a gaslighting twat to Rosie. His explanation on Aftersun made some sense though.

If I had to choose a winner today it would be Jack and Dani, but mainly because of Jack. However, Jack 2 is looking better (despite his stupid accent) by the day. So maybe if he paired with a popular girl it could work. Samira? Or god forbid Georgia?!
