Here we go again

It was revealed quite early on that Alex had a 3 sum with one of his male friends in one of the early challenges. So it’s not surprise really if he is gay.

PrincessScarlett · 26/07/2018 23:30

Oh and he also tried with Megan but that was never going anywhere!

RainySeptember · 26/07/2018 23:39

Rose, I didn't say he was the only one with something to lose, I said he was one of a few with something to lose.

Quite a few have got shit jobs they're clearly trying to see the back of, and some have got jobs that can only be helped by tv exposure, and some are trying to move into a media career.

Only a few with professional jobs they're hoping to go back to with intact reputations as far as I can see.

Katsu · 26/07/2018 23:41

I don't get how Alex can say he doesn't like PDA and isn't an affectionate person, when he was pissed off with Ellie for not cuddling up to him on their first night as a couple?!

I've not liked him for weeks but tonight has cemented my feelings that he is indeed a twat.

MissDollyMix · 26/07/2018 23:46

DH met a former LI contestant today, they chatted about the show. He said about 70% is staged...

RainySeptember · 26/07/2018 23:46

I thought he was pissed off that Ellie was telling everyone she was 'really trying' and he said she got into bed and never even spoke to him, not even on the first night, just hours after recoupling.

PrincessScarlett · 26/07/2018 23:46

Yeah. Ellie had her faults but Alex was vindictive when he slagged her off to the whole villa for not showing him any affection and accused her of being a game player.

Oh and let's not forget when he put Alex3's hand down his shorts. Poor girl got such mixed signals from him.

RainySeptember · 26/07/2018 23:48

He said about 70% is staged

Yes the producers have said that they ask for a heads up if they're about to do something important, and will reshoot if they miss something.

Or are you saying that they tell them what to say/do or script it? Because I'm certain they have to declare it if they do.

Thunky · 26/07/2018 23:49

atsea he said he hadd. A 3way. He also said he had sex with 30 girls.

I think its bollocks. I think he is a virgin. And gay

RoseWhiteTips · 26/07/2018 23:50

I think its bollocks. I think he is a virgin. And gay

It’s certainly beginning to point to something like that.

RoseWhiteTips · 26/07/2018 23:51

He really isn’t worth discussing seriously any more. Time waster.

Growingboys · 26/07/2018 23:53

Ohh missdolly spill the beans!

AtSea1979 · 27/07/2018 00:08

thunky what’s the difference? 😳

MsJolly · 27/07/2018 00:14

TBH dr alex reminds me of DH! (Also a Dr) I met him around the same age as dr alex is and he had that awkwardness about him-great person, dr and friend. Even on one night out informing me that he didn't fancy me and we would always be friends only!

He had only ever had one girlfriend at that point and was more interested in getting plastered with his mates than he was in relationships.

In the end after several months I made the first move-he definitely made the third! We even split up at one point as "he wasn't sure" though he did come crawling and begging back a few months later!

And here we are, many years and three kids on and very happy together. So no I don't think Alex is gay-he is like many a Dr I have known who have a lot of self awareness and wanting to be a great Dr but no ability when it comes to relationships. I think all credit to him in being honest and telling Alex 3 the truth and I also think she is absolutely fucking marvellous 😍

Prettyugly · 27/07/2018 00:38

It’s ridiculous that people say Alex is gay just because he hasn’t fancied any of the girls on LI.

I don’t fancy any of the guys on LI, and I can assure you I am not a lesbian!

If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say someone like Rachel Riley or Emma Watson would float his boat.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 01:00

Chipstick, agree, when even josh calls it out, then it's bad.

Spot on. Right now I actually prefer Josh and Wes to him, the sainted doctor.

Alexandra rocks

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 01:04

pinook

Someone wrote earlier that Alex3 has basic vocab because she used the word dogshite. She also used the word discombobulated, hardly basic. I also love the word dogshite 😁

Yes, that was such a lame thing to say. Compared to Ellie’s choice description of Georgia, that was tame. 🙄

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 01:05

Dogshite is an excellent description of someone who shall remain nameless.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 01:07

Cold and manipulative is a good description of him. Agreed.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 01:14

Someone back there called him a drip. He is a total drip.

OkPedro · 27/07/2018 01:20

A pp said they "really had to work hard to get with my dh" (or something along those lines) I just don't understand that. Surely when you're in to someone and they are in to you
it isn't work? It should just flow, it should be fun and without drama..

Dr Alex is a pain in the hole!
He's been more affectionate with jack than Alexandra
It is completely obvious to anyone with half a brain he "changed his mind" about Alexandra because Laura 2 didn't like him

happymummy12345 · 27/07/2018 01:24

I've never really liked dr Alex but I could understand why people wanted to give him a chance. He complained that no one was interested, then when someone is he moans it's too much. And all this rubbish about not wanting to think about the future, you have to one day.
Alexandra deserves so much better than him.

areyoubeingserviced · 27/07/2018 01:37

I agree that Alex is probably a virgin or very inexperienced
I didn’t believe that threesone story and the thirty or so women It’s a load of bollocks
He is a very manipulative individual

cocodomingo · 27/07/2018 02:31

Alex is pretty gay and should be on that show. Observation not opinion, he is disingenuous and whoever said cold and manipulative, i would also add controlling...how he has spoken to women is beyond snobby, he has the charm of someone who wants to manage all aspects of a situation and has a tantrum when unable to. Furthermore, a gay guy on twitter who came out at 40, recognises much of the behaviour that Alex does of pursuing girls then fleeing when there is interest.

RainySeptember · 27/07/2018 06:13

"a gay guy on twitter who came out at 40, recognises much of the behaviour that Alex does of pursuing girls then fleeing when there is interest."

Oh well if a person on twitter said it, it must be true.

I tend to think it's more about pursuing girls because he's on a game show where you go home if you don't pursue girls, but no he hasn't really been into any of them, how dare he.
