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

Couldn't stand Precious. All up in arms that Sian called her trashy ... When she had just called Sian trashy. O.o uhmm, okay then.
She came across really badly. I had a brief moment when she was blocked where I pitied her as I imagine this is the first time she'll have really been judged on personality and not looks ... But then she went to Sian's flat and acted a twat and I lost all sympathy.

I'd love to go on the circle you know. I would definitely catfish. I'm fat and always have been; I'd probably choose to go on as myself but with a thin, more attractive persons pictures to see how much looks really do make a difference.

Another fab episode! What will I dooooo when it's over!...apart from go to bed earlier!

Firstly I think precious was robbed in the cake comp! Hers and kates were better than Sian's. It was amusing watching her huff and puff about it though 🤣

Freddie was completely right in his vote, shows just how much he is deffo playing the game. It was nice to see him panic for a few seconds waiting to see if he was in the bottom 2. If he had been, he wouldn't have been blocked by the others so he was safe really anyway.

Can't believe precious went to Sian 🙈 she would have loved it if Sian had been a catfish! She could have had a nice time with Scotty but nope, she chose to have some beef instead! Says a lot about her really.

Hmmm.... Freddie always needs something from every interaction. Freddie buddying up to Kate is possibly because Harry's a threat now. He needs people onside.

The only issue with the next "super influencer" blocking is that it's going to be SO predictable as there's no room for debate. If Sian wins, which is quite likely, she'll knock out Kate unless Freddie plays the "Harry is picking on meeeee" card. Although it might be interesting to see how they all score each other. No one wants to be scuppered by scoring high but not getting the rating back... but everyone will vote their best chance of staying "safe" highly.

Oh- and I think Kate & Precious made better unicorn cakes!

I think everyone will vote Harry out, or risk being voted low themselves for getting rid of someone else's bff. I don't think anyone coming into the game late has much chance at all.

That was probably one of Freddie’s highest scores too. He was quite smart tonight... well, not with Kate’s fact.

Precious, is bsing she’s never had drama with a girl before. Either that or she’s completely oblivious. She had this headmistress tone when talking to Sian, I’m glad Sian didn’t back down.

I’d have totally gone to check out a potential love interest instead. Surely everything had already been said with Sian. She was just raking it all up again.

This super influencer thing is interesting. I’m not sure who Sian would vote.

The others would probably still vote off Harry due to bonds/loyalty but things seem to be moving quite quickly with friendships now anything could happen.

I hope Scotty goes.

BertBox thing is it’s anonymous. But what you’ve said has made me think maybe someone could vote off big competition. Freddie could totally vote Dan off for instance, Kate could vote Sian. I think they’re the two most tactical, the former more likely to do it though.

Ah, I hadn't taken in that it was anonymous, thanks! Yes, I think Freddie probably is the only one who would vote tactically, though he might still prefer Harry out over Kate.

If Sian came top, which is fairly likely, she could vote out Dan, and be almost guaranteed to win. She won't think of that though.

Sian would vote Kate or Harry out i think depending on how the Freddie harry situation goes most likely i think it would be kate to go. I think that might well be the case whoever gets super infuencer Kate will go apart from maybe freddie who would vote harry maybe.

Precious was wrong she behaved exactly the same as Sian if not worse and then really showed her self up tonight. Good Riddance!

I found Precious's behaviour odd. Surely she isn't always top dog and has had people disagreeing with her before. Her idea of feminism seemed to be just getting her own way. I think Sian did well under pressure. Don't want Sian to win though but suspect she might. It wasn't the best cake

Where did the public get to vote on the cakes? I have the app but didn’t see anything about the cakes on there - did I just miss it?

@MyNewBearTotoro - I’ve got the app too but there was nothing about voting for the cake on there ! I thought I’d missed a previous episode where we’d been asked to vote .

Im not sure I like the idea of super influencer, seems unfair to change it this late in the game (may be over invested!)

I think most people will vote out "new boy" Harry but Freddie would vote tactically and Kalex would get rid of Freddie!

I woke up today with the thought, who does the cleaning? 😂 Do they do it themselves?All the flats look pretty tidy so I'd be surprised there isn't at least one slob! Or do they have to go stand on the balcony alone while someone else does it but doesn't talk to them?!

Maybe someone does it when they are in their gyms or talking to the circle in those sort of confessional bits. Does anyone know whereabouts the flats are?

That makes sense! I wonder if they genuinely never see anyone or if there's production staff who tell them when it's time to go do the confessional and asks questions... Maybe it's all done via text on screen. There's obviously bits where they have been told to read out the screen (like last night's "Precious is coming to visit one of you, now!") So I guess they get messages we don't see to help things run smoothly and TV friendly

I don't know where the flats are tbh, I'd guess London. I assume they're all spread out, maybe on different floors? Otherwise they'd hear each other screaming (and Genelle's baby!) Or they're flats with really good sound proofing

I've just caught up.

Quite surprised by how smart Freddie was when it came to the voting.

Really didn't like the whole Precious saga, she really is awful and I'm glad she's gone. Seeing as how all their beef seemed to stem from Scotty, I'm surprised she didn't go and see him. Even her outfit was a power move to try and intimidate sian I think - good on sian for not letting her walk all over her

Also precious needs to get over being corrected at yoga - she was wrong

( maybe she wasn't, I don't know, I can't even touch my toes)

😂 #factsarefacts

I’m fairly sure they will be regularly visited by researchers and producers. There’s no way they will be kept without seeing another human, just for basic human sanity. It will be things like dropping off the food, task items etc. They prob do have a cleaner too.

I’m watching last night’s now so I’m interested that the comments seem more in Sian’s favour than Precious’s as I so far see Sian being the typical mean girl.

Sian was being mean during the yoga. I don't think she'd have been as picky if it was one of the others. Precious could have dealt with it better though and praised Sian for knowing the correct name and suggested she lead some exercises too and tried being the better person and showing up Sian's pettiness rather than going down the argumentative route

interesting they said the public voted on the cakes but no-one with the app on here saw how to do that.

I think in fairness the producers set precious up with the yoga session unless it was her idea! It was an odd thing to lead and made her come across a bit of a dick! Sian has been doing yofmga from the start in there and never run a session it came across very patronising which I think did help!

But she didn't come across well from the cake thing to the 'competition' over scotty!

Super influencer is anonymous so if it is Freddie he will get rid of Harry I think but I think it will be sian she's seems unbeatable at the moment. It's hard to say who she will pick but I think it will be Harry or scotty as she has said a lot about the originals ect. Unless she suddenly starts playing the game then dan is in the firing line!

I suspect she won't get rid of Dan in case the public are allowed an important vote and turn on her.

After last night's voting, I think Freddie is smarter than he comes across! He played that well. Glad Precious went. I think a pp commented that she lacks self awareness, and I said exactly the same last night. She genuinely can't see what she's done wrong! Sian is only 20 and has plenty of time to mature but Precious is in her 30's. To then choose to go and argue with a young girl, rather than go and see someone she could have had a nice chat with, just shows the type of person she is! I find the fact she said Sian isn't a "girl's girl" absolutely hilarious! A perfect example of her stunning lack of insight!

I'm really going to miss this show when it finishes. I usually don't go near reality shows but a friend persuaded me to give this one a go and I'm so glad I did!

I think the reason why Sian keeps getting golden girl is because she and Freddie are SO tight on their star ratings. She only ever gives Freddie 5 stars and keeps everyone else low. Even ones that she says she likes, they very rarely get above a 3! Freddie is the same but is even harsher and has no problems dishing out 1 star. They both gave Kate a 3 last night and suddenly she's back in 3rd! The others are far too nice with their ratings and prefer giving out a 3 to what would be a 1 in Sian's and Freddie's eyes.none of them vote with tactics. for days Kate has been saving a 1 star for Freddie, what Kate doesn't seem to get is that every time he's done that he has put himself at risk and may not be there the next time to give that 1 star! He's been lucky!

The super influencer would have been an ideal one for a public vote. We wouldn't have been voting anyone out, just giving someone a bit of power (anonymously) I'd have given it to Harry! Surely he will be gone now no matter who gets it, they will just say they know him the least.
