I’ve never understood the ‘I’m so proud of you’ rubbish, what exactly are you proud ofHmm

I’m glad DD didn’t actually go into the villa, I think that was worked that way, nothing to do with work/schedules etc. He’s so awful anyway I just couldn’t have watched his carry onConfused

If your family doesn't give you unconditionally love then who will

Dr Alex self serving to the last

I think laura2 is from a broken home I just get that vibe.

On CBB they have a brilliant impressionist, can’t remember his name, but wish they’d had him on Aftersun, he’d have been hilarious!

Chipstick10 · 29/07/2018 23:16

I was looking forward to DD going in the villa thinking he would kiss jack and be lovely and emotional. But actually I’m glad he didn’t go in after the cringe fest he and his Mrs served up tonight. How Dani has remained so nice and grounded I do not know

BlancheM · 29/07/2018 23:20

It's normal to be proud of your children.

I found the Dyer FaceTiming really cringey aswell!

nicebitofquiche · 29/07/2018 23:26

Just finished watching. Where was Megan's mum tonight? Anyone know?

DuggeeHugg · 29/07/2018 23:28

I don’t understand why everyone thinks Danny Dyer and Mick Carter are just the same. Mick is lovely. Danny is not, if the stories from his colleagues are even half true.

Arcadia · 29/07/2018 23:28

I reckon Danny dyer asked for a big fee to go on and they couldn't afford him - just my suspicion

Chipstick10 · 29/07/2018 23:30

Duggee what do they say ?

TenThousandSpoons · 29/07/2018 23:33

I thought Alex might come across better on Aftersun as they often do (e.g. Ellie) but I guess that’s because they usually have a week to gather their thoughts, read the public opinion and probably get coached on what to say. Felt a bit sorry for Alex and his very HOT grilling (RoseWhiteTipsGrin) and thought he looked like rabbit caught in headlights most of the time. Alexandra came across lovely like she always does and she will have a lot of fun out of tnf villa I’m sure.

wontonsoup · 30/07/2018 00:06

I don’t understand what they’re proud of either? Especially Megan?

DaisyDreaming · 30/07/2018 00:23

In a&e and feeling so glad for WiFi so I can watch tonights episode!

unique1986 · 30/07/2018 00:51

I get the not having female friends. It's so hard as you get older.
If you got bullied or were shy in school or college it's hard to maintain or make new friendships more than co workers or aquitances.

OkPedro · 30/07/2018 01:17

Danny dyer and Dani's Mam are on holiday in Florida, which is why they didn't go into the villa

Butterflykissess · 30/07/2018 01:47

I also noticed the massive pause when wes asked if they liked megan. They took a very long time to respond!

Shortstuff08 · 30/07/2018 04:15

To be fair, I would be proud. Especially with the way some of them have conducted themselves.

It's not like I would feel they achieved something great. But take Alexandra, I would be proud of how she conducted herself when Alex rejected her again. Dani and Jack have been great, but strong and not taken shit. Or how Laura1 has remained supportive of girls who she could have told to fuck off.

Besides I am sure most people, say stuff to their kids that isn't entirely accurate, but what their kids need to hear.

sulflower · 30/07/2018 05:18

I’m glad DD didn’t actually go into the villa, I think that was worked that way, nothing to do with work/schedules etc.

I totally agree with this. They were probably shit scared he'd get pissed and act an even bigger asshole than he is normally. And as someone else said, he probably demanded a big fee. The man's a liability.

DuggeeHugg · 30/07/2018 05:35

Oh come on. They were blatantly told to build suspense when asked if they like Megan.

Shortstuff08 · 30/07/2018 06:20

It's also possible it was edited to make it look like it took long. A couple of seconds of silence is all it takes.

WilburIsSomePig · 30/07/2018 07:19

I am really struggling with Caroline's 'I'm so shexy' swagger as she walks into the villa and the really weird way she delivers her lines. Does my head in.

Namechanger1404 · 30/07/2018 07:19

oh come on. They were blatantly told to build suspense when asked if they like Megan

I really hope this wasn’t the case, edited maybe, but not this. I’m not a fan of Megan, but it’s quite clear she has self esteem issues. To put her in a position like that would be utterly disgraceful.

Re DD, I’m not sure he’d put a large fee before his daughter. I’m hoping that, he himself, thought that his being there, would be overwhelming for the other family, but I’m not sure he has the intelligence for that to cross his mindHmm

The ‘proud’ issue. I wouldn’t have been proud from the get go. Proud that my son or daughter, would put themselves in a position where they are waiting to be ‘picked’ for the way they lookHmmpossibly to be proud of their compassion and empathy, when dealing with situations, but pretty much no. I think it’s something the parents are primed to say.

nicebitofquiche · 30/07/2018 07:27

I'm still not buying the Meghan's shy stuff. Being a stripper and her insta account shows someone who's not shy, you couldn't take all your clothes off in front of an audience if you were.

Plughole3 · 30/07/2018 07:42

Don’t the parents have to play the game though, in order to ensure their children win the 50k. Hence why they are generally positive about the relationships & proud?

Hangingaroundtheportal · 30/07/2018 07:45

God, Danny Dyer IS SUCH a bellend.

Chipstick10 · 30/07/2018 07:48

Aren’t there actors who are dumb struck with shyness yet can go on a stage and perform
