Has to be Ryan. Has to be.
Who would he visit, do you think?
(And who would Alex visit?)

I reckon Ryan would visit Kate, out of curiosity.
And Alex... Would he visit Dan to say thanks or would he just leave and they'd post a reveal video?

They seem to be changing the rules all the time!

itswinetime · 30/09/2018 23:04

Alex would visit dan I think Ryan....I'm not sure guess it depends who Cathy tells him too

MyNewBearTotoro · 30/09/2018 23:15

What a cliffhanger to leave it on!

I feel sure it will be Ryan to go as Sian seems genuinely lovely and I don’t think she’d have said the circle would be better without skate at risk of hurting her feelings. I think her and Scotty sussed our Ryan’s game plan and will be happy to see them go.

I think if he goes they’ll have made the right decision, although from an entertainment point of view I like him. He’s definitely a player who always seems aware it’s a game and seems to stay somewhat emotionally detached from everybody else and what’s happening - he seems to be enjoying any drama as entertainment (even when he’s part of it) and seems very laid back about it all. He definitely has a huge bitchy side though.

I think Ryan would visit Freddie

Muglife · 30/09/2018 23:25

Yep,, can't be anyone but Ryan surely? But why leave it on a cliff hanger like that! I like ryan more than Kate BUT i like Alex more than Ryan. Mairead makes me chuckle. I'm glad Dan seems to be sussing her out though. It's awkward enough watching him fall for Kate, poor guy!

itswinetime · 30/09/2018 23:30

That's because Kate is nothing @muglife Alex is funny though he would have been 100% better as himself!

Jasperoonicle · 30/09/2018 23:31

Oh yay somewhere to post about this! Only heard of it friday, binged all weekend and up to date tonight. Its brilliant just a shame not kid friendly as i would love to show it to the kids as a heads up that not all is as it seems on the internet.
Loving Sian and Dan from the start. Somethjng to be said for being yourself. Think Ryan will go tomorrow but cant wait to see who comes face to face with kate!!!!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 30/09/2018 23:45

@Jasperoonicle, if you have instagram they have videos of people who've been blocked watching Alex play as Kate & their reactions, and also people such as Jennifer & Sinead explaining their game choices. Would they suit your purpose?

I'm guessing the "nicer place" comment is Ryan as a) Scotty probably wouldn't throw out someone to flirt with - Kate, b) Kate's nice to everyone & the drama surrounding her is mostly whipped up by Freddie being spiteful, even Sian must see that Ryan has caused more problems.

If Ryan leaves I think he'd go & see Kalex or Scotty as he now knows Sian, Freddie & Dan wouldn't welcome him and Mairead is too new for it to be meaningful. Unless Kathy directs him to purposely go cat fishing.

It took me a year to work out how to post here so it would take a decade to learn instagram but thanks for the thoughts!
The Cathy thing with Ryan is a bit disturbing but i think he would visit Dan just to try get him to like him. I think Ryan is quite insecure. I would cheerfully strangle Freddie if I could gain access to his flat.

LutherRalph1 · 01/10/2018 08:30

Oh I stupidly checked this message last night before I caught up and saw " noooo dan" and spent all night thinking he had gone!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 01/10/2018 08:30

@Jasperoonicle ah ok Smile. May I join you in operation #endoffreddie though?

Muglife · 01/10/2018 08:45

Ok so been giving this some thought( talk about invested!) and what if whoever is named tonight doesn't actually get blocked, they go into lurk mode for a bit. We know you can lurk cos we saw Mairead use it. it would be a good twist for future series cos they would know it would come up at some point. BUT i come a bit unstuck with this theory because when they delurked they still wouldn't be popular would they. They would just get a low rating again. 🤔

Obviously it's likely none of this will happen. They said the other day about the explosive meeting and it wasn't really! This cliff hanger is just a way to keep us hooked. I was hooked anyway, no need for this!

itswinetime · 01/10/2018 10:15

They will have to do something I think this is the last week isn't it? So no more newbies I'm guessing? I think they need to keep things moving!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 01/10/2018 10:31

Yeah the final is Oct 8th I think? I reckon they might have 1 more new person - remember it should be 8 because of Genelle & I bet they had extra people just in case, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stop "replacing" people after the blocking tonight. I think they might step up the blocking pace, too. They might get down to the final 2 or 3 and might start messing with them a bit. Atm it looks like Sian to win, I reckon.

BlueKarou · 01/10/2018 10:39

I'm wondering whether they might, at some point soonish, get a chance to vote one blocked person back in, just for some drama.

What do the players do with their days? Assuming we get to see the majority of their chats, there must be a lot of the day when they're just on their own, reading/doing puzzles/going to the gym... They're probably desperate for human interaction!

itswinetime · 01/10/2018 11:08

I dunno how they will do it they can't let numbers get to low otherwise what will there be to watch?

I don't think they can let blocked players back properly as they have watched it so know all the catfishes! But they will need to do something!

ACatsNoHelpWithThat · 01/10/2018 11:17

I'm guessing Ryan will go because had they voted Kate to leave, I think C4 would have revealed it and the Cliffhanger would have been a sneak peek of the reaction of whoever Kate/Alex goes to meet, a bit like when Aiden left.

Muglife · 01/10/2018 11:27

Oh, yes they deffo would have shown that wouldn't they. It's probably going to be Ryan and a bog standard blocking and they have whipped us all into a frenzy about what's going to happen. Well played channel 4!

I'm now thinking how weird it would be when Dan eventually meets Alex/Kate and they become actual pals, and Alex introduces him at some point to his girlfriend.Alex knows he fancies her! What if she actually liked Dan too! That's a whole new show right there lol!

ACatsNoHelpWithThat · 01/10/2018 11:41

I think it might have been horribly awkward between Dan and Alex/Kate if they'd met IRL before Mairead joined, but now Dan has had a flirt with Mairead (albeit with suspicions arising) it takes the focus off Alex being the only catfish to dupe him IYSWIM. I thought I'd have lost interest in the show by this point but instead I'm getting more invested by the day Blush

SpanishFly · 01/10/2018 12:00

I had a horrible thought that maybe Kate was voted off but C4 know he is the most popular with viewers so had to give themselves time to try to work out a twist so that they could keep Kate in the show. I hope not, it just wouldn't be the same without Alex/Kate

BlueKarou · 01/10/2018 12:49

Spanish - I had the cynical thought that the reason they went for lowest rating over influencers last time was to keep Alex/Kate in, as those influencers would surely have blocked her. Now it's a slightly less antagonistic group of influencers they've been given blocking power back.

SpanishFly · 01/10/2018 13:36

Yes! That makes total sense. We all know it wouldn't have the same dynamic without Kate. Hopefully they've managed to keep her there either way.

SpanishFly · 01/10/2018 13:38

Oh I've just realised. What has happened to Alice Levine and Maya Jama?? Did they only present the first couple of shows? Have they bailed?

Cherrypi · 01/10/2018 13:52

Are they the narrators? Tactically surely you should always vote everyone one to keep yourself in or is that banned?
