I'm loving this programme even though I hate social media.

Love Alex/Kate - so clever what he is doing it and he's bloody funny.
Freddie - I'd hate him in real life but love watching his reactions. I do think he could be doing a lot better if he just went in as himself though.
Ginelle - not sure. She seems nice enough but has gone in with the baby as a secret but immediately told Dan?
Sian - like her and as much as I love Alex I do feel like he threw Sian under the bus with the comment about her wanting Mitchell out.
Christopher/Sinead - I don't get it. He's so far out of the age dynamic and so different from everyone else, What is the reason for being this character?

Catmatrat · 23/09/2018 23:57

Ginelle needs to stop with the baby thing 🙄

2rebecca · 24/09/2018 00:04

I find the labyrinth boring. So what if she was a baby in there. Your baby shouldn't be in the most interesting thing about you. All I know about her is that she has a baby. Big deal.

2rebecca · 24/09/2018 00:05

Baby thing not labyrinth

2rebecca · 24/09/2018 00:07

If Kate gets evicted think I'll stop watching as not fussed about the rest of them.

itswinetime · 24/09/2018 09:48

Genelle is boring there is nothing to her apart from the fact she is a mun she doesn't even really seem to chat to anyone.

I went off Sian a bit last night it was her idea to dump Mitchell so she should own that i know Kate agreed but you have to agree on someone

Freddy does my head in but I can see he is good TV

Dan is alright, I still like Aiden and I still don't get the Christopher thing such an odd fake profile I don't see why more people haven't figured him out yet.

I still like kate/alex but i think things are turning in the circle for her.
I predict Freddie and Dan as the influencers this time. Not sure who they will pick to go maybe Christopher

BlueKarou · 24/09/2018 11:59

It's fascinating how quickly it's turned - one minute Kate was everyone's darling, the next she's in everyone's sights both for the Mitchell blocking and for the Little Mix thing. (Why didn't Alex just claim that Kate's more into Indie/rock/hard metal/whatever he likes and that's why she didn't get Little Mix?!? He should have been able to cope with that better, rather than going 'oh well, that's me done'.)

I don't see Christopher staying for a long time; as Christopher he's too separate from the group, and if it comes out that he's not real, then surely they'll have to block him.

Freddie can go, I'm over him and his over-reactions and shrieking. Although I was laughing at his Range Rover drama with the new guy. (I hate the new guy already!)

Genelle seems to be too invested in her 'I have a secret' and in telling her secret and she's not really getting much of her personality out there, or really connecting with people. It's frustrating that she went in there seemingly to not be 'the mummy' and yet she's making that be her defining feature, if just because it seems to be the only thing she talks about to herself or to Dan/Christopher.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 24/09/2018 17:34

Found my people Smile. I'm a bit hooked. I really want Freddie out, I was hoping he'd get rumbled by that hangout thing.

Kate handled Mitch leaving quite badly, the best thing would be to have back tracked with Sian & found someone neither of them minded ditching i.e. Genelle, as a compromise if neither of them would budge on the boys. She did chuck Sian under the bus by airing it but I think Sian is trying to save herself & I'd quite like her out soon. Can't wait for someone to visit Kate or Christopher. Was quite impressed at Sinead/Chris's on the spot skills, Kate/Alex can't go off book. I wonder why I find their artifice intriguing but find Freddie repulsive!

BlueKarou · 24/09/2018 19:14

It's because Alex actually seems like a relateable human, whereas Freddie seems to be only able to communicate by screaming and shouting, and can't really see a world outside of his bubble.

Not that I'm over invested already...

I love the pages and pages of coin info Sinead has. She's really invested in the part!

Catmatrat · 24/09/2018 19:54

Freddie is getting too close to Sian to maintain his straight persona I think. All that #bestie carry on. I’m enjoying the show so much. I wonder if the Welsh girl thought that the other contestants wouldn’t want to vote Christopher out because he is a cute old man ...

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 24/09/2018 21:43

I think Sineads plan is that Christopher's age lets him get away with a lot. She's also fairly good under pressure, whereas Alex seems to struggle. I think they'll get spotted eventually though. There's not giving much away & then there's just not saying anything... they'll start to slip; Alex didn't recover from little mix. Freddie will definitely rumble himself before too long. He will struggle to keep flirting with girls & will start with the boys. I really wanted him to f-up that car chat!

whywhywhywhywhyyy · 24/09/2018 23:05

That ending! They can't cut there!

dimples76 · 24/09/2018 23:13

The ending was brilliant!

Catmatrat · 24/09/2018 23:15

I’ve not watched tonight’s but I am now SO EXCITED to do so since seeing your posts.

hamzilla · 24/09/2018 23:24

Joining this chat. WOW WHAT AN ENDING. I wonder if she was nudged I the direction of that door a bit, but I don't give a shit because her face.

CocoLoco87 · 24/09/2018 23:27

Ahh loved it tonight!! My fave is Dan because he seems to just be himself. I did like Kate / Alex but he's getting a bit desperate and it's showing. Aiden's face at the end was brilliant!

CocoLoco87 · 24/09/2018 23:28

And I want a terrapin now

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 24/09/2018 23:29

Oh my god HER FACE. Before now I would have said nudged but now I think possible ally

prettygirlincrimsonrose · 24/09/2018 23:30

Really looking forward to tomorrow now, Aiden's reaction was fantastic. Also seems to be a potential split into two groups (Freddie/Sian/Ryan and Dan/Kate/Genelle) but I think the first three (who are all massively irritating) will be more on the same page about up voting each other and giving low ratings to the others, whereas Genelle still doesn't seem sure about Kate. Will be interesting to see what happens with the new contestants.

BertBox · 25/09/2018 00:10

Why didn't Christopher/Siobhan get to visit anyone?

Can't stand Freddie, but he's very watchable. He's like Gemma Collins if you close your eyes.

None of them have worked out if they scored everyone else a one it would increase their chances of being rated highly.

BertBox · 25/09/2018 00:11

Sinead! Not Siobhan!

Saffzy · 25/09/2018 00:12

I really wish they had of shown somebody’s reaction when they met Christopher, tomorrow looks good though.

LutherRalph1 · 25/09/2018 08:51

Wow what an ending! Bless aiden she looked so excited coming through the door!

Muglife · 25/09/2018 10:45

Hurrah! Joined today JUST for this chat! I can't find anyone I know that watches this. SO Kate, can't stand her, BUT I like Alex, so I will conclude that i want her to stay. Like Ryan so far and also Sian and Dan. I reckon chris didn't meet anyone cos she is going back in..as herself at some point. It's the only explanation!

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 25/09/2018 11:31

I'm actually really enjoying itBlush
I watch it in secret when dh is at work, he thought Love Island was bad enough!
