As the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. He should not have given her the run around. When he did decide to be honest with her, it was again all about him. He didn’t end it up spare her hurt. I’d have had more respect for him if he had at least ended it for her sake.

If you take that away he's just a lumbering lobster with a chip on his shell shoulder!

😂😂😂😂

Am I missing something with Alex x 2? He had a choice of recoupling with Alexandra or coupling up with Stephanie. Laura 2 who was his preferred choice had already been coupled up with Jack 2.
So he chose Alexandra by pretending to like her again. Isn't that the problem? Not the fact that he's not interested now - he never really was.

No. HE is the problem.

RoseWhiteTips · 28/07/2018 19:19

The point is he would have turned against A N Other too.

RoseWhiteTips · 28/07/2018 19:21

Another point is the contestants do not have the luxury of time. He must KNOW this so all the taking it slow and being casual is just bullshit.

RoseWhiteTips · 28/07/2018 19:24

He wanted to be fair to her? Really? So that would be why he lied to her in the car and promptly dumped her once he was back st the villa. It’s unspeakable.

Just checking in on the new thread. Hope Josh & Kaz go.

Bluntness100 · 28/07/2018 21:12

Ooh Alex telling jack his dream would be to leave the villa with him. On this weekly round up show.

I suspect he was telling the truth, that is his dream. 😳

MissDollyMix · 28/07/2018 21:57

Just marking my place on the thread!

Chipstick10 · 28/07/2018 22:12

Alex absolutely loves jack. He adores him. I think he’s a little bit obsessed with him

Bluntness100 · 28/07/2018 22:36

I just looked at the daily fail and the comments are all basically Alex is looking for love in the wrong place,,ie wrong gender, as well as dismay about his dishonest behaviour with alexandra. It's clearly quite a wide spread view.

I think he's not going to come out to the reception he may have been hoping for.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 28/07/2018 22:41

Alex has treated Alexandra like shit, he strung her along. He knew he wasnt interested from the start but kept saying how he just needed time, he likes to take it slow but he didn't really mean he liked to take it slow, what he meant was "I don't want you to get too invested because I don't want to see you on the outside"

He's consistently pushed girls away, been arrogant, talked over them and generally been unpleasant and condescending to the women he's coupled up with. He expects to be able to treat them like shit and then just placate to them and them to say "Okay, Alex" and just roll over. He's not expecting them to say anything back.

I think what's so annoying for me is I've seen him behaving like a twat throughout but I really wanted to like him, and against my better judgement assumed that he's just socially awkward but I don't think he is I think he's just your common or garden twat.

I can understand the turning away in bed because I would be very uncomfortable sharing a bed with someone I've known 2 weeks but he's acted like Alexandra is almost disgusting with his complete lack of physical affection. You can see Alexandra start to doubt herself and you can see how upset she is.

He knows how to do it because he can give Jack perfect advice, he was disappointed in Josh and was pretty much the only boy to think of Georgia. He knows how to treat women he just doesn't do it himself.

TatianaLarina · 28/07/2018 22:55

I think his disgust is palpable. It makes me think back to the Ellie kiss and the fact he had to be egged on to do it - it was all really weird and 14 year old. In retrospect it’s because there was no physical attraction there.

He can fake it but not for long.

He was massively lacking in self awareness coming in this show.

Chipstick10 · 29/07/2018 00:03

Tonight when he professing his love and admiration for jack to jack, he did nothing but speak over jack the whole time

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 00:05

Alex is a terrible human being.

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 00:07

I would rather die than let him operate on me.

OkPedro · 29/07/2018 00:35

I wonder how Alexandra could bare to even look at Alex after he "pushed her hand towards his Johnson"
Ughh I physically shuddered just hearing about it!

Movablefeast · 29/07/2018 01:06

Love Alexandra.

Alex is incredibly immature with no self-awareness. And he is arrogant Angry

Bluntness100 · 29/07/2018 07:34

It's interesting, are there are no girlfriend stories in the press about Alex? No one saying they had any form of relationship with him? Just the one who said he dated her four times then ghosted her? It's all kind of similar to the Alexandra thing?

Or is there someone?

CashewNut11 · 29/07/2018 08:03

Is it just me, but I find it really odd the fact that Alex has said such a thing to Jack, made such a declaration to him (without, of course, letting Jack get a word in Hmm) especially when he's shown so little interest in women!

Cos to leave together, wouldn't he need to be, um... making some headway in the loving relationship department... Confused ?

Is Alex just totally in denial?

I did think Jack looked a little confused...?

And then I wonder if he thinks 'the public' are totally behind him in his 'journey' for LI romance - he might think the support he's had in the villa is matched in the outside world...

TatianaLarina · 29/07/2018 08:05

If there were any gfs out there they would have been found by now.

Bluntness100 · 29/07/2018 08:14

Yes Jack turned it round to it would be great to walk out the same day, not walk out together. It was an odd thing to say as clearly jack wishes to walk out with Dani and surely Alex must know that. It was also phrased oddly. About how it would be his dream. Very flowery.

I find it odd that Alex has no qualms about pdas with the men, he happy kisses, cuddles, gets into bed with them, but struggles to do the same with a female. So it's not he doesn't like pdas it's he doesn't like them with women.

The fact it seems he's never had a relationship either, kinda feeds it a little. Sure others people haven't by rhe age of 27, but all together it's odd.

I really can't work it out. He probably does think he's as popular on the outside as he is on the inside, but as said, it does seem public opinion is heavily weighted to he has treated Alexandra dishonestly and that he is very likely gay.

Chipstick10 · 29/07/2018 08:26

I’m glad you picked up on the jack and Alex convo last night. Maybe I was reading too much into it but I said to Dh “are love islands trying to tell us something”? There was something as you say Bluntness very flowery about that conversation. Something much more than on the surface.

NeverTalksToStrangers · 29/07/2018 08:33

That conversation with Jack obviously happened before the vote off, hence walking out with Alex was on Jack's mind as something he knew the other wanted.
