Beauteafully you’re so right about the profile pics.

I thibk letting blocked contestants vote is the same as letting viewers vote as they know who everyone really is now.

I hope they do it between them. I could just be a live rating situation and then they come out one by one in reverse order. We can see them all meet for the first time and their reactions to the catfish etc.

It’s interesting that Harry has sussed our Freddie but also worth thinking he might not have done so if he’d come in at the beginning. When Harry came in it was the photos in Freddie’s profile that made him think he looked camp (that yellow tracksuit!) but on day 1 every contestant only had 1 photo up. First impressions always count for a lot and once you believe someone to be a certain person it’s hard to challenge that which might be why nobody else has been suspicious of Freddie. Similarly Mairaid saw through Kate because all the photos were pretty perfect headshots and she felt if they were real Kate would want to show off more.

That’s why it’s so interesting for the game to introduce new players at different points of the game as well as they get a totally different first impression.

Are all the blocked players back to regular life? I thought they'd be kept isolated until everything was over. I think Precious is going tonight even though I wish it were Freddie. His screeching and constant cursing put me off of him eps ago. I'll be so gutted when this is all over.

MiddleClassProblem · 04/10/2018 20:43

They’re all out... we could be them right now 👀

MiddleClassProblem · 04/10/2018 20:46

That would be a bit sad wouldn’t it. If it turned out we were coincidentally just them who happened upon the same forum to anonymously comment on our own show 😂😂😂😭

HelloSnow · 04/10/2018 20:59

@MiddleClassProblem 😂😂😂

There are not many shows I watch 'live' I usually record and watch next day. But this show I am constantly clock watching, eager to get to 10pm!!

WRT the profile pics and people coming in later, I found it strange that it was seen as a reward to get extra profile pictures. Surely catfish wouldn't want more profile pics (example Freddie as his other ones are much more camp!) I would have thought a better reward would be to pick another player to display a profile pic. Then it might have made people even more suspicious of Kate and Freddie.

Another person who would hate a public vote! Although if be intrigued to know how the public vote people Vs how the players see each other.

Something like an honourary people's choice award for the most popular with the public, maybe? But the prize cash should be Circle voters only!

DH keeps asking if I'm sure Sian is at uni as she doesn't seem bright 😂

I agree Freddie keeps it interesting but I really don't like him!

CocoLoco87 · 04/10/2018 22:06

'Absolute helmet' Grin love it!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 04/10/2018 22:07

Can see the point about the public vote, but would also like a couple of people come face to face with public opinion.

Thesearmsofmine · 04/10/2018 22:12

They could do a game like on Love Island where they are shown some tweets and have to guess which one of them it is about.

MyNewBearTotoro · 04/10/2018 22:13

Feel a bit sorry for Precious. She seems very-self centred, somewhat deluded and definitely obsessed by Scotty in a very odd way but I do think she genuinely believes that Sian has wronged her. She seems to be devoid of any self-awareness at all.

FurryBuzzer · 04/10/2018 22:16

Just switched on more, I've obviously missed an argument!

FurryBuzzer · 04/10/2018 22:19

Aw, I'm happy to see Kate and Dan having a nice chat!

Leo90 · 04/10/2018 22:29

Anyone else flabbergasted at Freddie giving Kate 3 stars?

CocoLoco87 · 04/10/2018 22:30

I agree about Precious. It's like she's so insecure that she blows everything out of proportion.

MyNewBearTotoro · 04/10/2018 22:31

I think they were all a lot more generous with their ratings today than over the last few times and was nice to see some of the players who’d previously rated each other badly be a bit kinder to each other.

Thesearmsofmine · 04/10/2018 22:36

Precious is like a spoilt child

NotYoonique · 04/10/2018 22:46

I hope Precious goes. I really thought Kate was a gonner tonight

FurryBuzzer · 04/10/2018 22:57

I agree, Precious seems really childish!

MyNewBearTotoro · 04/10/2018 22:59

I 100% expected Precious to go and see Scotty. Poor Sian was not ready for that!

CocoLoco87 · 04/10/2018 23:01

I'm glad Freddie and Kate are getting on better. Freddie was quite vile whenever he spoke about her so it's nice to see things are more positive!

Precious seems like an awful person. Insecure but also not a girl's girl. She seems quote inflammatory. Showing up in Sian's personal space and being unkind

MrsTommyBanks · 04/10/2018 23:02

Hello all. Been lurking as I'm also addicted.
I hated Freddy, but liked him a bit tonight, which I am struggling with.
So ShockConfusedShock at Precious behaviour and completely lack of awareness. And fucking delighted she has gone. Thank aggression towards Sian was disturbing.

BertBox · 04/10/2018 23:03

Poor Sian - I cant believe precious Precious has never had a problem with anyone before, with that almighty ego.

Glad Harry's still in. Freddie was a bloody idiot to ever bluff that he was into football. Hope it bites him on the bum again.

MrsTommyBanks · 04/10/2018 23:03

Sian handled that extremely well IMO.

FurryBuzzer · 04/10/2018 23:09

Yes I think less well of Precious for choosing to go argue with Sian, she could have had a nice chat with Scotty!
