Definitely a split forming now. But it can all turn on it's head with 2 new arrivals. Although Kate/Alex is showing way to much obsession with the ratings and you owe me shit it will get him blocked if he doesn't knock it on the head. People need to think more about ratings they are all being to nice you need to 5 star who you want as influencers and 1 star the rest that's all that matters as long as you have a friend influencer you are probably safe.

Interesting idea that sinead may come back as herself as that means if Kate goes Alex could be back and I actually think the would both do better as themselves!!

Muglife · 25/09/2018 11:42

I'm certain Sinead will go back. It means she still hasn't met anyone so has no inside information on the others still. Also I put the app on my phone but it's only worked once! Gutted! 😥 I love me an accompanying app.

TheLastNigel · 25/09/2018 11:50

The DD's and I are hooked on this. We really don't like Freddie but can't help laughing at him...I can't understand how he can't be heard with his constant shrieking but everyone within a mile radius never mind everyone else in the circle.

Muglife · 25/09/2018 12:08

Freddie makes me chuckle, he is hilarious. I don't get why in his intro, he said he was a proud gay man and then chose to play straight! I'm sure he would be popular just being himself. Also genelle should make more of her baby being in there, not be hiding her. Could be saying things like omg hold that thought baby has shat everywhere FML I'll brb. Nobody would care!

Muglife · 25/09/2018 12:24

Also one last thing before I go to work ( can you tell I've had NOONE to discuss this show with haha!) I would like to see someone go in as a pug or some animal. It's totally thing isn't it? Folk online chatting with a dog in a bandana! Nobody really questions it, a true personality will shine through then. They won't be using looks at all.

2morrowiscancelled · 25/09/2018 14:13

Loved last night's episode, it was a perfect cliffhanger. Can't help wondering if Aiden will be upset with Alex, find it funny or simply be confused and not understand!

Not liking Sian's new side to her now she is 'besties' with Freddie.

Am I the only one who found Dan hilarious when he was pushing Kate and Ginelle to be friends 😄

In the interest of efficiency you two are now friends 😂😂😂

BlueKarou · 25/09/2018 14:22

Such a great cliffhanger. I'm really liking that it's not 'live' and they've edited it to keep things moving. I do wonder how they spend most of their days as there has to be a lot of time outside of chatting. Also they all seem to be shown eating and waking at the same time, do you all think that's editing or might they have a schedule?

I didn't think of the possibility of Sinead coming back in as someone else. It makes perfect sense - I wondered why she didn't get to go see anyone, but it's perfect that she would go back in as herself.

Eventually they're going to have to not send new people in - wouldn't be fair to win from being a late entrant. I'm already curious as to how they'll do the final.

Muglife · 25/09/2018 16:02

Just seen an update on Instagram. Christopher has video messaged everyone introducing himself/herself. So it looks like my theory was wrong...bugger!

itswinetime · 25/09/2018 16:30

I guess it would be unfair for catfishes to get 2 goes over 'normal people'. They must have wanted to do it on mass. I liked dans no nonsense with Kate and Genelle but I think he may have seen another side to Kate last night! Can't wait for those 2 to meet.

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 16:43

Watching on catch up now, I love & hate Freddie I’m equal measures! I want him to stay because he is the funniest

CocoLoco87 · 25/09/2018 18:28

Same as pp's! I can't stand it when Freddie opens his mouth, so annoying! Yet I find it hilarious how he runs around screaming at the slightest thing!

hamzilla · 25/09/2018 18:56

Argh Freddie. I'm with Kate - fuck off Freddie!

My favourite bit of last night's though was Ryan's intro. 'I'm a psychic, so I'm a really good judge of character.... I really like Nigel Farage.'

itswinetime · 25/09/2018 19:02

Hamzilla 😂😂 brilliant wasn't it!! I don't but the psychic bit but I do think Ryan is more switched onto than the others in regards to the game and people lying he was straight onto Christopher asking proper questions going to be a lot harder for people to pull the wool over eyes with him in.

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 19:48

Just caught up, why does Genelle hate Kate/Alex? Unless there’s lots of Genelle we’re not seeing she is bloody boring ( notice she was never invited to the girls chat)
I feel sorry for Aiden, can’t wait to see the chat with Kate!

itswinetime · 25/09/2018 19:51

I don't think they talk a lot and Jennifer told Genelle to watch Kate and for some reason Genelle has taken that as law even though Jennifer was a liar and actually unless we haven't seen it Kate has kept the fact Genelle has a secret to herself! I did also wonder if Genelle likes dan and dan seems to like Kate so that may be a factor! Dans going to be in for a shock!

thismeansnothing · 25/09/2018 19:55

LOVING The circle and even though he won't admit it DH has been sucked in too.

Freddie gets on my wick. Just shut up. How no one else can hear him and his shrieking is a mystery to me.

Disappointed Christopher didn't get to go and meet anyone. That was a bit unfair.

And at first I thought he was going to be a bit annoying but I quite like dan. Think he's getting a bit wise to Kate and the too nice thing

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 20:01

Yes the sound proofing must be amazing, I think you could hear Freddie right across LondonGrin

I like Dan, he thinks he’s a bit of a player but he’s not really ( not like Mitchell)

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 20:02

I wonder if they will all meet up at the end & if we see their reactions

itswinetime · 25/09/2018 20:06

I hope so I'm hoping a live reunion type show where they all come face to face although pp have said there is a video message from 'Christopher' tonight. I wonder if the players get a choice and she decided not to see anyone?

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 25/09/2018 20:09

Loving this show. Although I hate Freddie. He's so bloody annoying!

I do wonder what they do about food/work etc. And lack of fresh air. I know they have that roof garden but they must be limited when they can go there.
I assume they order food and get it delivered ?

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 20:12

Well Aiden just eats pot noodles!
They seem to have food but not booze. I wonder if they take turns in using the roof garden. It would drive me mad being stuck in there but none of them seem bothered.

foxycleopauper · 25/09/2018 20:12

Just caught up on last night's ep. I'm sad Aiden's gone!

I like Kate/Alex but hope Dan has a word with her to calm down all the pushing about ratings as she's coming across desperate. I think "Kate" needs to open up a bit and show some personality so that people don't think she's aloof.

Dan is becoming a new fav. Bored of Genelle, she seems bitchy and has nothing to her apart from the secret baby.

I sort of love to hate Freddie Grin

Can't wait to see Aiden/Kate meeting tonight!

itswinetime · 25/09/2018 20:15

Agree 'Kate' needs to think less about ratings more about being interesting! The game playing will be her undoing.

Dan is a clear fav at the moment needs to make sure he isn't brought down by 'Kate' though.

I'm excited for 2 new arrivals that's going to cause issues!!

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 21:34

Kate only had the game playing, that’s the problem with being the fake character, because she’s not real she’s just one dimensional. After a while it’s becoming obvious that kate is just saying what she should say rather than what a real person would say

nancy75 · 25/09/2018 21:35

That was also the problem with Christopher, although choosing a character that was so much older than everyone else ( and therefore unable to join in without looking suspicious) was a really stupid move.
