If you go onto the Casa Amor girls instagrams it’s shocking how different some of them look. Jazmine edits her photos to the high heavens! She doesn’t even look like the same person - I think she looks better in person! Coco actually doesn’t look that much different tbh. I think Cheyanne is a pretty girl and gives me the same vibes as Millie from last year.

ah I’m just glad I’m not in that world of editing photos for social media - phew!

Mollies hair extensions are so shit, the stylist needs an asbo.

Aw I felt sorry for Luca but I think there’s of a backstory what we’ve not seen, although Dami worded it shit the other boys did seem to agree with him. Luca kept looking to Jacques but even he was saying he saw what Dami ment. You can tell Luca is a massive overthinker tho and this will be massively getting in his head.

Coco gets more attractive with every episode, striking and confident with sex appeal so I can why she is popular,

Jaques showed his aggressive side again tonight and gives me scary vibes with his eyes.
I think we are going to see a different side to Luka since the argument, he is very sensitive and think he is going to be subdued and be questioning it now for a long time.

Ok and I’ve just gone on Mollies insta and she too looks COMPLETELY different. She has a different face I swear.

Tippex teeth! Much cheaper than 7k 😬

When I was late teens/twenties you were either pretty or you weren’t. But now, with extensions and veneers and fillers even the most average looking of girls can imitate a pretty girl and I think some men can’t see past the teeth and fillers. Coco and Mollie are distinctly average.

I like Luca, I think that argument will upset him and he’ll ruminate on it.

I'm below average looking but if after 10 minutes on Facetune I can pass for a MILF, a young pretty girl could turn into a supermodel.

It’s a little depressing to read things like this, and some of the other negative comments on appearance.

Am I the only one that would like to see LI with more ‘normal’ looking people, and with older people too?

Maybe I’m missing BB too much.

@detectora I hear you but I think what we see is this is not a group of normal people

These are the young - Dubai loving insta perfect model types all buying into this false
"Yh I don't have a type but he just needs to be tall " mentality

LI wouldn't want me either but yes I would love to see an older , more natural , less scripted bunch have a free holiday with a view to dating but that's not what LI is about

Doesn’t take much for a fella to move on.

Well well, lots of surprises tonight!

my rambling thoughts …

I don’t quite understand what Dami meant by ‘fake’ - I THINK he was getting pissed off that Luca was egging them all on (a la Jake of last year) to make himself look the most loyal/ genuine and win the show. I can kind of see his point, Luca was OTT with the whole ‘lads on tour’ cringe excitement and whooping etc. but equally if he’d criticised Dami for kissing Summer he’d be accused of judging / being superior.

I felt a bit sorry for Luca though, he looked genuinely hurt and nobody stuck up for him. I don’t think Jacques would be a particularly loyal friend - ‘stop nudging me’ and then saying ‘I can see Dami’s point’ etc.

I think Dami is a snake and I think he was probably a bit prickly cos he knows he’s in hot water. Frankly the blokes talking about him ‘upgrading’ from India was laughable - she’s MUCH more attractive than the newbies!

I know LI blokes are blinded by boobs / blondes / teeth but Mollie and Coco really are very average looking. And why has Jasmine literally not had a look in? She’s on a par with coco. Even Cheyenne hasn’t had much and she’s the prettiest in my eyes. And Danica is much prettier than coco or Mollie.

Andrew and Coco - just bizarre. I mean he seems to have done a 180 in literally a day. He needs to know his own mind and stop being swayed by other people. Either it’s genuine with Tash or it’s not. It’s a bit shady to then basically slag her off and get it on in bed with another girl. In fact it was kind of cringey - like he was desperate to prove he could pull another girl in a sort of petulant ‘look at me, I can get someone else so more fool you Tasha’. 🙄I don’t think she’s done much wrong and I think she’ll be devastated (and rightly insulted!) if he brings coco back.

It’s bizarre that Jacques is one of the few that doesn’t seem to have connected with anyone despite all his big talk. I wonder if he’s a bit pissed off as let’s face it, it’s not like he wasn’t up for it!

I don’t think any of the girls will bring someone back except Danica.

I’m in 2 minds about Davide and Mollie- but I think Andrew will take coco in. I reckon Dami will change his mind at the last min and go back single- but I hope India finds out about what he’s done. How bizarre would it be if Andrew was the only one to re couple?!

Sorry for the essay, I got a bit carried away with the first ‘exciting’ episode 😆

I really like how Andrew tired to calm the situation during the argument, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and I hope he finds a girl (not Tasha) who properly likes him.

Coco looks ok to me. I asked DH and he said there was nothing wrong with her.

I can't see Molly's attractiveness - twirling her hair extensions whilst looking at the camera and failing to maintain a conversation.

And what is it with the fascination with blonde hair? I seriously do not get it. Are those fake blonde haired girls better looking than ES? I cannot see it at all.

Gemma is coming across as very real.
I think there is a backstory with Luca and Dami saying that Luca is only interested in winning it is going to make Luca worry about what the public are being shown. I think Dami said it out of defensiveness but I do see why he said it. Luca was egging on the boys with the 'lads holiday' talk and then saying he was staying true to himself.
Not sure whats going on with Jacques - he is completely playing a game. He will 'stay loyal' to Paige and spout that actions speak louder than words when she gets upset/angry with him. He isn't interested in her at all, he's just interested in the game.

I'm disappointed with Davide. The kiss was like the one he shared Danica.
I understand where Andrew is coming from. The boys have been telling him that Tasha is biding her time with him and then a bunch of girls who have been watching the show tell him the same. And maybe they are right because if Tasha fancied a new boy more, then she may well have chosen a new boy too.

Dami may as well bring a new girl back. I think he only got together with India because Amber wasn't interested in him and India and Dami stayed in by choosing one another.

Whoever advised Jack to go into the villa should be fired. He hasn't had any airtime at all and hasn't brought anything to the show at all.

It’s her nose, it’s very long and very pointy sorry but it is and yes it’s less harsh looking on insta.

I wonder if there’s going to be any tension with both davide & andrew wanting to recouple with coco as they’ve been told to by the producers

Mollie's teeth are awful. How strange is it that girls now are actually proud of spending 7k and looking like that?
In fact it isn't strange, it's depressing.

I totally understood why Dami was annoyed (and I'm a Luca fan). Luca was whooping and "LADS! LADS! LADS!" at every single turn. He encouraged them to get with the other girls, then made a jokey but loaded comment about Dami kissing Summer. Dami clearly read that as being that Luca was all for him going for a kiss but then was snide about it which came across as being judgey about it. I think he meant two faced rather than fake.
The fact that every single boy agreed with Dami suggests there is way more to this behaviour than we've even seen. Like he's actively encouraging them to screw up for his own gain rather than supporting any decision they each make.

Davide kissing Coco was weird, like a 15yr old kissing someone just because the opportunity was there. The way they kissed then just sat back afterwards, there was zero chemistry

Whoever advised Jack to go into the villa should be fired. He hasn't had any airtime at all and hasn't brought anything to the show at all.

I keep wondering why they didn’t put him in from the beginning they usually put the one with the “celeb link” in at the start, he is going to be one of those ones who goes home and no one ever remembers...same for jasmine I forgot she was in the show.

I've never understood how egging on can be blamed for someone doing something, just because Luca is goading the lads into 'cheating' doesn't mean they have to do it! It's not the first LI to have this scenario either.

I haven't seen tonight's episode yet, just read about it, it seems that it's more and more staged now from what I've read.

Luca is desperate to rub shoulders with slebs AKA MO etc..

I'll have to catch up in a couple of days as I'm away and can't get it

I don't think it's blaming as such, more that he's fully encouraging at and saying how they've got to do these things, but then the judging/snide comment made Dami second guess himself so Dami got peed off that he supported it all the way until it actually happened, then there was no support.
I'd also be willing to bet that they are being given lots more alcohol than usual during Casa Amor...

I wanted Andrew to ditch Tasha but not for coco! Come on seriously?! At least pick an attractive girl they are all keen to come in she’s the worst looking out of them and literally kissed Davide an hour before 🤦🏻They are all using him to come in even coco so 🤷‍♀️

I never ever understand the argument they all use, that they have to test themselves to know whether their feelings for someone else are genuine. I don't know anyone irl who's started seeing someone they like but decides to kiss some more boys to make sure they really do like the first guy 😵‍💫

I agree re alcohol @Twonewcats - Mollie especially seemed drunk to me.

I think Dami was right - he said Luca would do anything to win & Jacques agreed with him. They all agreed that Luca was fake, although think he meant 2-faced so there's obviously a lot we're not seeing. I also think Dami gets the measure of people well and loved that he also passed comment on how Luca grabbed hold of Gemma so tightly and wouldn't let go as that's exactly what he has done!

I actually think Davide is hilarious with his kisses - he gives them to girls as a reward but he doesn't mean it. He's not interested and I think he'll pick to stay with ES.

Chyna seemed totally disinterested in Jay - he seemed like he was trying to hard and she wasn't bothered at all.

Hope Danika finds love!
