Giving it a go as it's followed GBBO 😂 anybody watching?

At least Freddie is self-award enough to recognise when he’s being dishonest and admits it to the cameras even if he’s playing the game over the chat.

Precious seems like a total bitch, can’t understand why she’s being so mean about Sian.

Previous is being mean because she’s jealous, Sian is younger, pretty & popular. Whether she’s having a thing with Scotty or not he still likes her & she knows what he’s lied about. Previous is threatened by Sian but she’s misjudged the mood of the group massively - they already know & like Sian and will take her side

That cloud game was fab! Precious is literally living up to her name! Not a fan! Routing for Sian on this! Freddie is annoying as hell but playing a blinder, I liked him tonight 🙈. Scotty was likeable tonight too. Love how each show can make me change my mind about someone..I'm pretty sure my mind won't be changed about precious though!

God knows why they're fighting over Scotty, when Dan and Harry are so much nicer.

I'm going to be very annoyed if anyone other than Dan or Sian win.

Precious out next? She's got a really unpleasant personality. I'd like to see her and Freddie locked in a room together and the key thrown away.

I think Precious will go next, if Sians an influencer she’ll be more keen to get rid of Precious than she is to get rid of Kate & there isn’t anyone in there that will fight to keep Precious in

I'm sure precious has dug her grave with her behaviour tonight.!!! I agree she's bound to be next out

Precious will go next if it's least popular I think it will be her and if there are influencers then no one will fight for her unless it's Sian and Freddie then I think will still push for Kate

The only way I can see Precious staying is if neither Sian or Dan get to be influencer. But the influencers could be something like Harry & Scotty (be possible if they get a lot of middle ratings but no low and if others are playing the game by rating Dan & Sian low) then I’m not sure who they would vote to leave. Maybe Kate?

I think one of the four originals should win and my order would be:
Sian
Dan
Freddie
Alex/ Kate (prefer him to Freddie but he’s a catfish & I really don’t want a fake player to win)

Precious is awful. She’s blaming all the angst in Sian when it all came from her getting her back up day 1 on finding out Sian and Scotty has “a date”. Scotty would still be all over Sian if she wanted but she doesn’t.

I find Scotty so irrating 😂

Thought that was a great ep though! Every bit was good from Mairead and Dan, Dan and Kate, Harry and Freddie, then the cloud, brilliant.

I like Dan and Sian. Originals but both honest and quite forward. I like that they have formed a friendship now. The others are newbies or all liars 😂

I don't think Kate/Alex will be an influencer, but if he is he'd probably end up voting Precious our, as no one else will vote Freddie.

Freddie will want Harry or Kate out, but would agree Scotty or Precious

Dan would agree Precious, maybe Freddie, maybe Harry.

Sian will only want Precious out, but might agree Harry or Scotty or Kate

Scotty .. hmm - I reckon would agree Precious or Harry, or even go along with Kate

Precious and Harry haven't got a hope of being influencers. I think we all know who Precious would gun for!

I like Kate but am annoyed he hasn't just stuck to his game plan and isn't playing the game more and lying if need be. I think his job is you tuber though so maybe he's playing a long game and thinks he'll get more followers being Mr Nice guy. Dan is annoying me with his "why are people lying and I'm so genuine" mystified crap. How come everyone else understands the game and he doesn't, although Precious was being weird that way too

I like Harry but think he's arrived too late to do well. He's the best looking bloke. Don't get what they see in Scotty although he looks better in head only pic wearing hat

Harry hasn't brought A lot of entertainment as such but he certainly seems to have good instincts on who to trust!

I did a binge session on Sunday, I LOVE this show! It's so refreshing. And very fascinating with regard to the world of social media.

Interesting how Sian and Dan are often most popular with the other players and viewers and they are the ones being the most genuine.

Freddie is bloody hilarious and I love how vocal he is about playing the game, I love how he said 'I'm a wanker' in tonight's show 😂 he does have a nasty streak though so wouldn't want him to win but I would like to see him through to the end for pure entertainment factor.

Harry seems very switched on with his Freddie and Kate suspicions. Would like to see more of him.

Finally got to watch. I must be alone in liking Precious. I would love for Dan and Harry to be influencers. Then the vote would possibly be fair. Anyone else will already have their target decided. I still want Frankie out but here's got too much support. I don't like how Sian has changed. She was so sweet all this time. I wish Alex had just been honest. Now he has no one for certain. Scotty is so easily played. I don't understand why he likes Freddie so much. Unless it's because he wants to stay on Sian's good side. He's deffo not into Precious but I don't think he wanted to be rude. But now that Sian is clearly not interested maybe hell back off. Probably not, though. I love Mairead and that they all loved her. I don't understand Precious' reaction though. Anyway I hope Dan wins. He's been my favorite from the beginning. If Freddie wins after all this I hope everyone is fuming when they find out he was lying all this time.

Dan and Miread's conversation was interesting particularly how she explained about being invisible as a 57 year old woman after being used to lots of interest from men in her younger years, so wanting to return to that time in her life.

I am lucky that, although a similar age to Miread, I have never been attractive so never was flirty or got a lot of attention from men . I guess that you never miss what you have never had?

Dan was very sweet with Miread but afterwards you see how hurt he is. I fear that his friendship with Kate may be dead now. He doesn't trust any more.

Freddie is 'good telly' but not in real life; I don't mind about his deceit about not being gay, but he would definitely do anything to win. Kate/Alex could have lied to Dan and reassured him that she was real, but she didn't because she has a conscience. She will pay the price and may be blocked next, unless Precious gets the boot, that is; the Cloud game was very interesting .

I don't mind Precious but I think she's come on a bit strong and is too clumsy a manipulator to get away with it- so she'll reap what she's sown. If she'd just been friendly and not tried to take down Sian- who is both smart and willing to stand up for herself, I think she'd have worked better.

I think Mairead came off as a rather bitter old bag. I don't think she's aged gracefully and think her personality is probably what's put people off. I don't want Fake Kate to win/be rewarded for lying, but I wish Mairead hadn't poked her witchy nose in. Alex is buggered either way now, whereas I think he might have told Dan before the final but it seems less of a "lie" coming from him than being dragged out of him.

I wish Harry had gone in slightly earlier to take Freddie down!

I think Precious saying Sian is clearly not a girls’ girl is bs and hypocritical. The reason she took a dislike to Sian is because she had dated a Scotty. She steam rolled it with that chat (and most of her chats since) too. She’s not very self aware and quite arrogant. I’ve been enjoying Sian with her digs, particularly during the yoga, because Precious has been quite arrogant in her approach.

Why shouldn't fake Kate be rewarded for lying though? It isn't a dating site or nicest most genuine person competition it's about being popular and the last person standing. The most popular people often aren't the nicest as they are often superficially charming, good at manipulating people and self centred. Freddie is doing well because he's playing the game properly.
They should all be more suspicious that no-one is who they say they are, and what does it matter anyway?
Precious's idea of feminism is very odd given that early on she gave Sian false info because she also fancied Scotty who might have had a pretend profile and be a 60 year old woman for all she knew.

In fairness to Kate/Alex the only proper catfishe not to be voted out at the first opportunity so he deserves something for that!

Hello other circle people!
No one I know it's watching either!

I really feel Dan's male pride was injured by not knowing who Mairead was. I felt for him, I think he's a genuine guy and might win

I can't stand Freddy. I'm not bothered by the tactics but he seems to delight in lying to people s faces and then laughing over how clever he is. Just nasty.
I also don't think he's savvy. I don't understand why he pretended to like football, it's so easy to catch him out and it's not necessary to pretend to be straight! He could have said he watches occasionally but didn't follow it closely and got away with some general comments.

Yes to whoever said he's bringing out Sian's nasty side. I've gone off her, especially when she was protesting she hasn't been"jabbing" Precious minutes after doing it! I'm not a big Precious fan either

I like Harry but agree it's going to be hard for a latecomer to win.

I find Kate/Alex interesting to watch... I am fascinated to know what happens when he meets Dan. I actually think they would get on IRL (although not after the deception!)

I also don't get all the Scotty love, he's not my type at all!😂

I don't get the Scotty love either. He's so slimey!

I do see the point about Alex & it not being a popularity or honesty contest but in a world of internet fakery, I feel that a catfish shouldn't win. I also class Freddie in that- his lies shouldn't pay off. Yes it's a game but I think it would be more powerful if they didn't win!

Thinking about Dan's conversation last night with Alex, I kind of think now what Alex should have come clean with Dan and told him everything. He has nothing to lose, actually, as the position he now finds himself is dire. He has lost Dan's support anyway I think, certainly his trust. Whereas if he ad told the truth to Dan last night, something could have been rescued over time. Will watch tonight to see if there are any developments....
