Honestly it’s been a difficult and upsetting watch. He is clearly really unhappy. I think he’s in need of some help.

Fandangoes · 12/07/2022 21:58

And now he’s told all of them he’s waiting for Paige so she’ll feel like shit if she starts anything with anyone else!

byejacques · 12/07/2022 21:58

I want to see all the footage of Jacques in the last week in which he ‘wasn’t himself’ (similar to how I wanted to see the footage of Niall from a few years ago before he left) because we’ve not seen any indication of him acting different

QueSyrahSyrah · 12/07/2022 21:58

'I'll support everything you're doing' says Paige.

Not enough to leave with him though eh Pet?

Aquarius1234 · 12/07/2022 21:59

Awful. Should go for big brother next year. Way more suited to that environment.

Lampzade · 12/07/2022 21:59

He was definitely advised to leave by the mental health team on LI.

Arashi · 12/07/2022 21:59

I mean as a redemption arc leaving because he realises his behaviour is unacceptable and he wants to be worthy of her on the outside is a doozy.

Added bonus points for not wanting her to leave and understanding she's having a great time and telling her to crack on and do what she needs to do.

This is the most mature I've seen him and I'd love it to be real and the first steps to Jacques 2.0 but i dont know.

Gemma seems really thrown by it all.

Fandangoes · 12/07/2022 22:00

Etc! Gemma us just emotionless and not saying a word!

Aquarius1234 · 12/07/2022 22:00

This is too much. Never had this much. Only been in there 4 weeks

QueSyrahSyrah · 12/07/2022 22:00

Gemma sitting at the back quietly pondering how he's been exactly himself throughout Confused

Lampzade · 12/07/2022 22:00

I am muting this shit

prinnycessa · 12/07/2022 22:01

Sorry I'm watching behind but why did Gemma stir by telling Jacques what Adam said? She clearly wanted him to kick off. Unnecessary.

Then Jacques was unbelievably rude to Billy telling him to fuck off. Disgusting

'I'll support everything you're doing' says Paige.

Not enough to leave with him though eh Pet?

But why should she? They're not in a relationship and he's already proven he can't be trusted so why should she compromise her own experience?

Aquarius1234 · 12/07/2022 22:02

I think the producers must be gutted.Why else all the air time.

ChloeHel · 12/07/2022 22:02

RocketsMagnificent7 · 12/07/2022 21:55

He always has his top off during the day.

Shows how little attention I pay to the whole episode lol

Aquarius1234 · 12/07/2022 22:02

Only they missed the memo he is seriously disliked by the viewers.

jay55 · 12/07/2022 22:03

Why is this taking 75 years.
So unnecessary

noirchatsdeux · 12/07/2022 22:03

Jesus wept. He's leaving a crappy reality show, not going off to fight in Ukraine. And fuck off already, you fucking nasty piece of crap. Why are they all so upset? He's fucking awful.

TitsInAbsentia · 12/07/2022 22:03

Damage limitation leave, I don't mind who was the force behind it, I just hope he gets some help because unless he can grow and learn how to control some of his behaviours he'll never make a good partner.

How many days until she walks? Or will it be out of sight out of mind?

cathyandclare · 12/07/2022 22:03

The producers spend all their time pushing people's buttons to get a dramatic response, I think he is genuinely struggling.

It's easy to imagine you'll be fine in a reality series but much more challenging in real life.

QueSyrahSyrah · 12/07/2022 22:03

I know that @Rockets, and I wouldn't expect her to leave. It was the 'I'll wait for her to get out of here' like she's doing bird that got me.

Mind you, if she's heartbroken by him leaving then she has the option to go too, because her options to stay involve cracking on with someone else, that being the point of the show.

coolbottlesummer · 12/07/2022 22:04

I don’t dislike Jacques. I think he knows he’s done wrong and can’t control all of his emotions and feelings in the environment he is in. He’s taking himself out and hopefully get some help either gone by himself or by the makers of the programme.

MotherofKitties · 12/07/2022 22:05

What he says and how he acts doesn't add up. Wants her to be his girlfriend but repeatedly swears at her and belittles her?

It's good he's leaving, like I said he clearly wasn't coping on there and I hope he gets some help, but a few of those parting shots will do nothing but make Paige feel guilty for having fun or exploring something else in there. I hope she does and enjoys the rest of her time in there without the spectre of Jacques and what he said

noirchatsdeux · 12/07/2022 22:05

I worked in telly for a decade. He was told to leave...all the channels have been warned about whipping up aggression in their reality shows. Even Love Holiday, though it pushes the limits, has a line and he crossed it.

Aquarius1234 · 12/07/2022 22:05

This whole episode was all about Jacques. The entire thing #LoveIsland

Wow yeh bloody ridiculous.
