Ffs.

Agree with @HandbagsnGladrags actually. I am glad quite a lot more people are sharing my opinion about Nathalia. She's vile. And PMSL at neither Davide OR Adam wanting her. Didn't like THAT did she?

Yep you ain't all that gurrrrrl! (Petty and childish moi?!!! How very DARE you?)

I don’t understand what Nathalia has done wrong 🤷‍♀️. She has acted no worse than any other bombshell that has come in.

what the fuck?!

You've just noticed? 👀

Ah, perspective again. I'm 5'9" so think that's small for a guy whereas I recognise it's actually average height for a man.

What she's done is come in and be a total stunner who knows her worth. Apparently it's rated in the real world but not in the anonymous online world

Re the admiration for ES’s speech, I’m certain I read before that the producers help them write their speeches.

i know it’s harder when they supposedly don’t know who they will pick but it isn’t actually straight to the fire pit. It’s heavily edited to look like they don’t even have time to nip to the bathroom first!

He looks tiny. I'm guessing he's massaged his height upwards like most men

Agreed!

Very gracious, unlike Jacks' speech when he was left with someone (can't remember who)

Didn’t mean to single out ES’s speech. I meant Natalia and Lacey.

Obv the original islanders can say something personal but the new ppl can’t really so they get help.

I read the original islanders can get help too if needed.

😂

She is the only one then! No-one in there likes her, and none of the boys wanted her. She was rejected by Adam AND Davide. 'A total stunner who knows her worth' is something that exists only in her head (and yours.)

I like Nathalia, she's gorgeous, I don't think she's done anything wrong and I liked how she didn't take any crap from Ekin Su. I voted for her and Reece.

I don't understand why everyone is WTF-ing me for not liking Nathalia? She didn't handle the rejection well. She went after guys who were settled and they knocked her back (nicely). She turned bitchy and picked a fight with Ekin. She's just not very nice.

Earlier on in the series yes, but this is very close to the end and couples are now being picked off so this was the one of the last if not the last recoupling.

Because you called her a bitch. That's not the same as not liking someone.

To be fair Davide and Adam were not in relationships, they may seem fairly happy in their ‘couple’ but they are very much still dating and neither had made their relationship exclusive or official so Natalia did absolutely nothing wrong in asking them if they’d be interested in her if she fancied them. She would have got slagged off for going after somebody she didn’t fancy just because it was a safe move!
I also think ES was being an absolute dick to her! She hasn’t done anything wrong as far as I could see when ES asked if she had a problem with her. ES was just embarrassed because she had been trying to make N feel pushed out because her and Davide both liked pineapple on their pizza but Davide corrected her and made her look stupid. That wasn’t N’s fault. The whole thing was engineered by ES and backfired

@A580Hojas it’s because of her “personality” not her height.

Did anyone else find Reece’s reaction to Danica choosing Jamie rather sinister? He looked fuming. I actually sat there thinking oh god another human red flag.

I just came on to catch up on the chat and am confused by all the Natalia hate. She’s only doing what every other bombshell ever does, except she’s also having to jump in and stand up for herself immediately after drama queen Ekin Su picked a fight.

yes - ES picked the fight - not Natalia.

I don’t have any strong feelings for or against Natalia btw; I just feel like I watched a different episode to most of you!

Obviously they are all lovely looking girls, I would say Gemma , danica and tash are very pretty , nathalia is beautiful but ekin su is gorgeous, definitely the best in there.

With the story lines I guess it's important to remember there's three sides to every story, and we only see li side. It does concern me that they set these young people up to fail. There's a few people who are going to come out to a barrage of hate which is a worry for their mental health.

People (me included) say this every year!

But the producers are showing us a gameshow, not a reality show, and are going with what the target audience responds to.

DD is squarely the target audience and has been watching avidly in last couple of years - and is the reason I watch as we do it together - plus she also has watched some earlier series on catch-up.

But she's a bit fed up with it atm, and In suspect she's drifting away

And that's probably their model - keep reeling in young viewers, engage them with online content and get them watching a show which is attracting large advertising revenue (watching live, hooked by narrow voting window at end of a show with a slightly variable end time). With aim of keeping them for 2-3 series, but no expectation of longer

“She’s not very nice” and “she’s a nasty bitch” aren’t the same thing 🙄

For once I was glad production intervened with the picking order. I reckon it will be Nathalia and Reece v Dami and Indyah in the bottom two couples.

It’s pointless them putting in newbies at this stage ...everyone is setup and won’t change. Boring and predictable speeches. This is first series I’ve watched and won’t bother again it’s inane and dull. Gemma & Luca are like watching paint dry, I’m not buying Paige & Adam. Reece is odd not a bombshell by any stretch when he speaks it’s weird either nervousness or a teeth issue. Maybe he’s had new turkey teeth done that’s all the rage. Danica talks to the guys like it’s an interview she’s attractive per se but not sexy/fun vibe.
