New reality show on C4

Users are in individual apartments and can only communicate via messaging

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

Thanks for trying to help. I'm staying at a friend's house otherwise would be able to get it on virgin catch up

Im not home until after its finished so I'm gonna have to know what's happened before that lol

Think I'm gonna read back here, catch up from what you guys say and then watch the missed episode when I'm home!!! 😥🤯😂

Just watched and now I understand why I liked Scotty. He was just dumb and immature. Not diabolical or scheming. That was a good lesson to teach Freddie. It was a little cringe when Freddie kept hugging him though. I'm still backing Dan for the win. Especially his comment about his integrity being worth more than $50k.

Wasn't he an estate agent??
Harry's psychic powers are way better than Ryan's ever were - but then it must be easier for the newcomers to spot the game-playing

@hippychick78 have you had any joy? I watch it online on tvplayer, it's free, and may have catch-up on there? ( I have to watch it on my phone cos Mr muglife says no way to watching it lol) otherwise do you have the app? It doesn't have whole shows ( totally should!) But it does have loads of clips, so you could probably get the gist of all that went on just watching them.

I'm really hoping we don't get to vote on something important. It would ruin the whole concept of the show! Maybe something interactive with the show, just for fun. I wouldn't mind that!

You guys are inspiring me to download the app! I would like to say who I would like to win (Dan, followed by K-alex) but I don't want an actual say in who does 😂

I really liked last night's episode, caught up over breakfast today. It improved my opinion of Freddy, Scotty and Sian who were probably my least favourite players before. It kind of reminded me behind the social media hype/nastiness there's real people struggling with good and bad like everyone else if that makes sense.

Scotty was actually bang on saying to Freddy it could have been Sian who voted him out. I mean obviously he was actually bang on but I thought it was a good pep talk to have with Freddy to remind him to think about things a bit more. Harry misjudged the group I think!
Hilarious that people thought he might have been the superinfluencer!

Will we learn the rankings of how everyone else did in start ratings, do you think?

"Especially his comment about his integrity being worth more than $50k.

😂😂😂 @groundcontroltomontydom

I love Dan he’s such a sweetheart. I hope he wins will Alex second but I think it will end up:

1. Sian
2. Dan
3. Freddie
4. Kate

With Harry leaving before final.

It’s fair to say Alex and Dan are being more evenhanded in the ratings so I think they should benefit from that but not sure they will.

Is there another blocking before the final? We weren't sure

(I have now downloaded the app!)

Oh I don’t know I just assumed there would be one on Sunday. Maybe not...

I think so @FurryBuzzer I'm sure they said 4 will make the final

In a way I would like Alex to go before the live show, because I think it would be kinder for Dan to have the meeting just him & Alex rather than with loads of people there

That’s true Nancy. I think has proved his point but probably shouldn’t be in final.

Alex has proved his point I mean.

I wouldn’t mind Alex winning if it weren’t for Dan, if they meet when loads of people are there Dan will be forced to act like it’s funny & he’s ok with it, if it’s just the 2 of them he can say what he thinks a bit more.
I do have quite a lot of respect for Alex, he could have been the most popular throughout if he’d flirted with everyone but he has put how Dan will feel before his own desire to win

Aww bless Scotty, I warmed to him in his leaving clips. That chat with Freddie was sweet! What does everyone make of killer questions? Designed to topple Kalex, I reckon.

I do wonder if Freddie will wheedle the truth out of Sian about the Scotty blocking and then use it against her. He's going to chuck her under a bus anyway if he can. I also think Monday will be a circle double dose- Sunday will be Fri & Sat action, then a "normal" Monday catch up on Sunday/early Monday action with a final blocking, then a big final with a quick look at the last few hrs and then the order of players. The only person I'd like to see go now is Freddie really, he's changed a bit for the better but he's still so vile- but I don't think he will as he is a master game player. Then Harry to go out 4th as one of the "surviors" should win. Dan or Kate for me, as Sian has played straight but I don't especially like her.

I wonder how they decide the winner? Do they rate each other one more time, the evicted players get to decide? Public vote?

Also- random question but were Harry & Precious meant to be double entry or did they have to use one of their standby bods as Genelle left & they needed someone to make it 8? Who do you think it was? Precious was definitely a bad fit that late in the game- going after the Queen Bee like that was a very bad move!!

Also, the ep was on all4 this morning hippy chick, I caught up just now, so hope you've seen it! X

That makes sense, thanks @LutherRalph1
Agree with pretty much all of that @FannyGallops!
I think Harry's a nice guy but had just come in too late to make an impression

With 4 in the final they could just rate each other to get to who is the winner etc. But I’m not sure I like that idea as Freddie would rate everyone 1 then possibly end up winning because of it, which wouldn’t seem fair. I also don’t like the idea of a public vote, so really not sure how they can do it. They might split it. Half from inside ratings, other half from public? That would actually be more fair. But i’m hoping they have come up with something completely different!

There must be something they'll unveil- letting them rate amongst themselves is too risky. Even the nice ones will now be at a point where the priority is 50k

They could just ask each player who they want to win!
If it's original 4 though dan / late and. Sian / Freddie would vote for each other though

Wow my last post was garbage

If they do their own rating then it will be Sian. Cos it always is! The others vote nicely and always give her a 4 or 5 cos they think she deserves it, then she votes low like she always does! Nothing wrong with her doing that of course, she's playing the game. It's just that cos the others don't do that it's stacked in her favour! Would be good if the blocked ones got to do it. I'd be ok with that!

Also, it's been bugging me since he went in about who Harry reminds me of and it finally came to me! Not looks but his voice, he sounds like the male version of Ellie from this year's love island!

Do they really leave on Sunday?

I thought it was being advertised as a "live final"; so I'm wondering how that would work...

I'll be a bit gutted when this is over; it's been so good!

I actually quite like Freddy. He’s so over-enthusiastic all the time. The Scooty/Freddy meeting was sweet.

I can’t wait to see when they all meet each other. Should be interesting.

I wondered at one point whether the flats were all set in a film studio, so they weren’t real flats at all. The furnishings etc seemed too perfect, although I guess they were done up for the series.

I can’t believe how much I have enjoyed this series. I thing the cast of characters have been spot on- a real mixture , and not all fame hungry blond bimboes (excuse the cliche generalisation). Although a wider range of ages may have been good.

Must admit, when I saw the trailers for it I was cynical and thought it sounded a load of rubbish. The comparison to early Big Brother is good.
