Posh accent? It’s a Welsh accent. 😂

RainySeptember · 27/07/2018 15:37

"so in effect she was to blame for his shitty treatment of her."

No never said anyone was to blame, stop putting words in my mouth.

"Or you’ll be telling me you live in the same country..."

Well I do, feel free to pm me if you need photographic proof. Photo of me next to a landmark with today's newspaper maybe?

"They need to get him out of there, I assume that's the producers intentions."

I agree they'll go out tonight, can't go any other way really. I disagree that this is some sort of emergency 'need to get him out' move. Will be glad to see him out, it's definitely time. Aftersun will be interesting.

Prettyugly · 27/07/2018 15:37

Rainy, I agree with most of your recent posts. But! I have to say that Alex definitely has a Welsh accent. I realised he was Welsh the first time I heard him speak. It’s fairly soft but it is unmistakably there.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 15:38

Bluntness are you mad?

Charming.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 15:41

Bizarretortoise

Exactly Rainy. Perhaps he should have shagged her and then dumped her like Wes did with Laura. Oh yes, he’s far worse than Wes, or Josh, or Megan, or Eyal, or Adam. Good god, I would hate my kids to be treated by potential partners the way they’ve treated them in there. Far worse to call off a fledgling relationship with someone because he doesn’t like her as much as she likes him.
Let’s lynch him now,

Time for an oh dear.

🙄

RainySeptember · 27/07/2018 15:41

God I'm beginning to doubt myself now.

Here's a guy doing Welsh accents on Wales Online including Carmarthen.

Maybe I'm surrounded by stronger accents. I honestly would never have called it a Welsh accent, ever ever.

It seemed pretty evident that Alex completely repulsed her

I think that's a bit of a reach really. She clearly liked him. For unfathomable reasons. He may have repulsed all the other women, but I genuinely don't think he repulsed her. Although I'm fairly sure he does now. 🤣

RainySeptember · 27/07/2018 15:44

It's interesting how we all watch the same thing and interpret it different ways isn't it.

Looking forward to getting my life back next Tuesday.

sunglasses123 · 27/07/2018 15:45

Sexual assault! Come on - Alexandra was definitely up for something more than Alex was willing to give. To be honest - I don't know why he is in there. Alexandra has awful dress sense - those thongs and revealing dresses are awful. The majority of those romances aren't going to last five minutes. Wes is only 20. Megan has a massive past and I am not sure once they are out it will all suddenly hit him.

Although I think Alex will go tonight some would be moaning if he had lead her on further. He is definitely not gay. Why on earth would someone gay go onto a show like this?

Bluntness100 · 27/07/2018 15:45

I get the feeling some people feel cheated they haven't had the chance to see the doctor make his move and then get humiliated by rejection

Well he kind of made his move on Ellie, grace, that Somerset girl, Laura, and Megan and was rejected by them all. I say kind of, because I don't think he was genuine, hence their rejection.

MrsFassy · 27/07/2018 15:45

Definitely think the heat is getting to people, but I'm fascinated with how differently people on here see things.

I do think Alex should have gone the friend route after the recoupling, but chose not to because he was playing the game.

As for lying to Alexandra on the date. I saw it more that his answers were vague and evasive, he looked very uncomfortable and he said more than once about taking things slow and taking each day as it comes.

The kindest thing for him to have done, was say to Alexandra the pressure of the villa was too much, so could they be friends and if things change when they're out of the villa then they could be open to that. That way he would have been able to 'dump' her in private.

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the expression “sink school”? Do you cringe even more when the sink school is naturally located in the “north of England”?

What a joke.

bobsandvagene · 27/07/2018 15:46

See Alex does sound quite 'well-spoken' to me as well and my ears only detect a small hint of a Welsh accent, he sounds English southern in general and I can see how his accent can sound quite posh, especially when you have Dani/jack/josh/Megan/jack2 with their estuary and Essex accents.
Laura2 sounded more 'posh' to me though!

Bluntness100 · 27/07/2018 15:47

Why on earth would someone gay go onto a show like this?

Becayse they want to be a tv doctor and don't wish to admit they are gay, which is very sad in this day and age.

I really don't know his sexual orientation, none of us do, but I think it's clear he's not been into any woman and doesn't have normal straight guy in his 20s reactions to women. He even kisses like it's fake.

Bizarretortoise · 27/07/2018 15:47

Dickybow exactly that! FFS the guy does not deserve the awful comments a lot of posters on here have made. Not just since Alexandra, but from the start. It’s rabid, and it’s disgusting. Comments about his sexuality, his appearance, and so on.
I’ve not been a huge fan of his, despite my defence of him. I don’t know what he’s doing there full stop. My defence is really against the disproportionate and vile abuse he’s received on here. He’s socially awkward at the very least and doesn’t deserve this level of nastiness.
This thread really is like Lord of the Flies.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 15:48

He has a Welsh accent! Good god, some people are being deliberately obtuse.

Bluntness100 · 27/07/2018 15:51

If he goes into a reality tv show and lies to, leads on and humiliates women so he can kick start a tv career then he opens himself up to people calling him out and being appalled by his behaviour.

He gets no pass from me because he's a man, a doctor, or doesn't have welsh accent.

sunglasses123 · 27/07/2018 15:54

Bizarre is right. he is socially awkward but is that any worse than Wes having sex with Laura1 and then dumping her for someone who used to be stripper and has done so much to her body she looks like a Barbie doll.

Megan is softening somewhat but she is now nervous about the outside world and meeting Wes's parents. I will be very honest and say if my 20 year old son came home with an ex stripper who had a face full of fillers and various bits of her body changed by surgery at such a young age I wouldn't be jumping up and down with joy.

At one point she was going through most of the men in the villa!

sunglasses123 · 27/07/2018 15:56

Blunt - and what are the others doing?

They are no better!

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 15:58

Whatsnewwithyou

She did brilliantly in her response to him, I could never have been so clear and articulate especially in such an emotionally charged situation. The look on his face was like, "she's on to me, I thought I could outsmart and manipulate her but I can't and now I'm shown up for the bastard I am". Priceless.*

It was. He was left looking a tad shell shocked. He had it coming.

Bluntness100 · 27/07/2018 16:05

Sunglasses I think the argument that others are no better doesn't justify it or make it ok.

And for me, I think most of them do genuinely like each other romantically, even if it doesn't last. The only exceptions I put in there are Paul and Georgia with sam.

As for if my child came home with a stripper, I'd like to think I'd look at who she was, not what she was, and I think she genuinely likes wes. Right now she's coming over as a nicer person that Alex, although her behaviour in the past has not been good either.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/07/2018 16:06

He has a Welsh accent. I am not Welsh but I can HEAR THE DAMN THING.

Wtf is the point of arguing over this? It is beyond stupid.

RainySeptember · 27/07/2018 16:09

"Is it just me or does anyone else hate the expression “sink school”? Do you cringe even more when the sink school is naturally located in the “north of England”?

Ok in Wales then, but back then I was being evasive about where I lived.

If you knew it, you'd know the term fits exactly unfortunately.
