Just jumping in here after lurking a while. Fully agree Tasha's treatment has been appalling and both my teenage DDs agree and voted for her last night. I also think the producers of LI noted all the positive publicity Strictly (and Giovanni) received last year having Rose as a contestant and jumped on the bandwagon, but sadly it has ended up being completely different for Tasha. I can't actually believe there have been negative comments on SM about her hearing impairment/voice etc.

I cannot bear Luca, Dami and Billy. We've not shouted at the telly so much in ages. Danica hasn't once mentioned Deji (that we've seen) since his declaration. She's really not interested in him.

I do think it’s a shame that Tasha’s hearing impairment hasn’t been mentioned at all- I’m not saying it should have been a massive deal and singled her out, but surely at some point she must have casually mentioned it or explained things to other islanders and it hasn’t been shown at all.

It feels like on tv people with disabilities either get to be all about their disability, representing people, look at the struggle, etc OR they don’t get acknowledged and have to be just like everyone else. There’s no room for a middle ground where we’re just whole people who sometimes have some difficulties but aren’t constant “inspirations”

Thanks for the Adam reminder, I wouldn’t have said that was an outright rejection though, he just preferred Paige.

vjg13 · 20/07/2022 09:46

I don't think Danica finds Deji attractive or she would have moved on. It probably is a good time for her to leave but I do think it will be Summer and Billy. Great to see Dami in the bottom. The production team must have told Dami and Luca to apologise to Tasha, it seemed very insincere.

Newpuppymummy · 20/07/2022 09:47

Tasha did explain about her hearing impairment and wearing a cochlear implant at the beginning.

AdamRyan · 20/07/2022 09:50

Horatioshelmet · 20/07/2022 09:08

Who’s the 5 who have rejected Danica?

Luca
Jay
Josh
Billy

and?

I thought it was Davide. I'm sure they had a snog?

AdamRyan · 20/07/2022 09:51

Yes they did! Thought I was going mad....

Yeah I remember her announcing it at the beginning, I just think it would have been nice to include a couple of casual conversations or references.

Oh yes, I hope she calls him out! I assume he’s going to be on his best behaviour between now and then now that the producers have had a word though

marmiteadict · 20/07/2022 10:17

Can you imagine Luca's face in the Twitter challenge if Gemma's mum's post was mentioned 😂

Ourlady · 20/07/2022 10:34

That would be amazing if it was included in the twitter challenge and I hope that comes very very soon. That little bullying prick needs knocking right off his pedestal.

BananaSpanner · 20/07/2022 11:02

Small problem of the comment being on Instagram not Twitter.

marmiteadict · 20/07/2022 11:04

I bet it has been tweeted. If not, someone do so pronto 😂

BiscoffSundae · 20/07/2022 11:11

I do feel for danica it must be so horrible being in there and constantly publicly rejected, I don’t think it’s happened to one of the girls this much before? I know dr Alex and Hugo but can’t remember one of the girls being constantly rejected like this, it’s probably best for her to leave now as I don’t think things will get better and I don’t think she is attracted to Deji so you can’t force something. Saying that I wouldn’t mind if summer went as I can’t warm to her and the American accent is awful which puts me off her. Yesterday with Tasha was very uncomfortable and I agree it’s just bullying now and it’s nasty to watch.

Ekin Su sounded incredibly fake talking to Danica.
She has a few different voices as mentioned by others. London Turkish. More well spoken and Essex and random accents.

That entire episode was even more produced and fake than usual. I'm guessing because they were on location they couldnt rely on their usual fixed 'big brother' style filming so all the scenes & conversations were clearly set up & directed. All the conversations in the Beach club were forced and planned... it was bull shit.
With Ekin Su's usual fake 'flirty' laugh she reserves for Davide added on top. CRINGED all the way through it.

Yamyam13 · 20/07/2022 11:29

And agree @Aquarius1234 on her range of accents. Always an indicator to me that someone is quite insecure in themselves, so they adjust their voice to fit in - with added actress vibes.

What was this post please I missed it and NEED to know!

Please and thank you.

premiumbudget · 20/07/2022 11:36

Sorry just saw the screenshot!

Yes I hope if not that Luca is made to squirm when family come in.

Nomad916 · 20/07/2022 11:46

I don't think many people appreciate what a long way Tasha has come & how hard she's worked to be where she is. There are little slips like the way she says human ("hooman", which is how someone who is deaf would say it), that remind me.

FiloPasty · 20/07/2022 11:47

Do you think the producers follow this thread?
I feel like they’ve been showing more catch ups on insta which I’m loving whilst on holiday.

Hrpuffnstuff1 · 20/07/2022 07:28

The swearing blunted her point. It just sounded like a rant.
It was staged anyway.

Telling someone not to swear isn't misogyny.
Danica is boring and Billy is a piglet-looking dongle.

I didn't say telling someone not to swear is misogyny; I wondered if it was the same old trope that nice girls don't swear. I don't see Billy chastising any of the men about swearing. Double standards?
