Thanks @MotherofKitties Smile

Picoloangel · 28/01/2023 14:46

Luv that we have bruv 🤣

FiloPasty · 28/01/2023 14:56

Do you think they’ll keep throwing bombshells in? It all seems to have moved quite fast this season.

Picoloangel · 28/01/2023 15:04

I think there will be continue to be bombshells.

Like others Im
hoping Lana will be swept off her feet by some 10/10 whole package. She deserves so much more and she was great about standing up for herself.

I think Tom may be swaying to Olivia. I hope so, I quite like her and Zara is dreadful.

I hope they have plenty of Canesten in there having seen the Hideaway undies.

Prinnny · 28/01/2023 15:08

Thanks bruv! Hope so, we need more bombshells asap! Preferably the real deal for Lana, someone to melt ice queen Olivia and a girl to turn Toms head so we can watch Zara explode!

HandbagsnGladrags · 28/01/2023 15:48

Yay new thread!

Watching on catch up. I SOOOOO want Tom to cop off with someone else. Zara's head will explode, and it will be spectacular.

HandbagsnGladrags · 28/01/2023 15:48

@Prinnny oh, you just said that!

Puffalicious · 28/01/2023 15:53

@Heavenisahalfpipe
Thanks for the agreement!
But, sorry, I disagree here:
Ron is not even remotely attractive IMO
I find him really cute, he'd have been so my type 30 years ago 😳!

Tom is quite (physically) attractive, but sinfully boring IMO. Also, (like RON,) his not being able to make his mind up about which girl he wants is fucking tedious

Totally agree with you here. His height makes him attractive too but he is soooooooo boring. It reminds of a story one of my lovely friends tells: she was dating this lovely guy- handsome, kind, very wealthy (like uber rich and she's an ordinary, working class girl), good sex etc- who was head over heels for her. After about a year she had the feeling he might pop the question/ ask her to move in (abroad) and she just couldn't put her finger on what was stopping her being delighted. She suddenly realised one night (in a beautiful hotel in NY) - he was, in her words, 'a bit of a boring bastard'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. She also tells it brilliantly. 👏

Will share my post from final page of old thread:

Just catching up on last night.

Surprised that Shaq and Tanya went all the way. Will look bad particularly on him if his head turns at any point. And his commendable comments about Ron and Lana will only add to that.

Interesting to see there was no parading of undies in front of the other islanders as they head to the hideaway. I think a good change however it seems likely this is because the hideaway is a separate building they have to walk to as the aerial shot showed, it looks like the evenings are pretty cool and windy, can’t do that journey in lingerie.

I was VERY surprised to see they showed Shaq using his phone to take photos or videos of Tanya. I would have thought the producers would know better than to normalise such a thing for the many young people, including teens under 18 who watch this show. It may very well have been at her behest and I’m not saying nobody should ever do naughty pics or vids but it’s dodgy ground when teens can get in trouble for making/sharing explicit photos underage.

@RocketsMagnificent7 agreed. But then it was exactly the same with toxic Faye. She got let off completely for really awful behaviour. And annoyingly still features on daytime tv, she was on itv news the other night talking about fillers! A man who demonstrated these behaviours wouldn’t have been permitted to continue such a successful media career.

Puffalicious · 28/01/2023 15:56

Oh and meant to say, 'Hey bruvs' (doesn't sound as good as Hey bros , but whatevs, I'm just vibing).

CarpyDiem · 28/01/2023 16:00

I'd quite like to see the back of both Olivia and Zara

And I'd like to see more of Will and Jesse , and of Aaron. And probably more of Kai too (as I can't even remember what he looks like)

More of Jessie and Ellie (in particular) actually just enjoying themselves too. It's really dreary when all we get are endless discussions of whether their doors are open. That's even more snooze fest than brunch

CarpyDiem · 28/01/2023 16:12

I'm intrigued why my "similar threads" suggestion on this is just for one thread - "Countdown to Christmas 2022: the final straight (thread 4)"

is it because if we have to listen to Ron again it'll seem as if over 10 months have passed?

I thought it was 'bruh' these days but then it could be that my ear trumpet isn't functioning correctly 👉👂🙉

marmiteadict · 28/01/2023 17:08

Place marking. Thanks for the new thread

veiledsentiments · 28/01/2023 17:15

I only watched Friday’s episode this week. Can’t get invested, and still can’t remember who is who. Followed the thread though

Heathcote294 · 28/01/2023 17:37

This is my first time watching, trying my best with it so that I can join in the chat with my colleagues but it's all so bloody weird!

Why is it that all these beautiful women are at the beck and call of the men. With the exception of Will it seems to be the men calling all the shots.

It's all so gross!

Jellykat · 28/01/2023 18:35

Ta for new thread, love the title!

XanaduKira · 28/01/2023 18:39

I believe you could be right. I'm stuck in 1992, really.

Rollergirl11 · 28/01/2023 19:42

Fam, that Zara is bare salty af. 😂

Thanks for new thread!

Really impressed with how Lana has handled herself. Love that she said she’s still open even after Ron told her he wants to focus on her. I think Ron was a dick but I think he would be the first to admit that and he likes the fact that Lana hasn’t just rolled over.

I also like Ellie quite a bit and thick she’s struck the right balance coming in as a bombshell in that she’s confidently gone for who she wants without being bitchy or desperate. I hope she stays in.

Agree with the poster who said about showing Shaq taking a picture of Tanya in the hideaway. Really irresponsible in these current times and only serves to perpetuate the expectation on young women to send nudes etc. Do better ITV!!

NadjasNightclub · 28/01/2023 20:10

I loved Lana last night, thought she was a bit of a wet flannel but clearly not!

XanaduKira · 28/01/2023 20:18

I love Lana - she's definitely my favourite. She's totally beautiful and strong, and takes no shit.

doings · 28/01/2023 20:19

Me too! I was pleased she stood up for herself.

doings · 28/01/2023 20:33

My take so far:

where’s Arron? He seemed quite interesting but he doesn’t seem to be ‘cracking on’ with anyone!

Zara is psycho
Lana’s sweet
Olivia’s tricky but worth the airtime
Tanya and Shaw dull because they’re happy 😆
Kai boring
Ellie interesting. Could make waves.
Tanyel needs to get back in the groove and be feisty again
Will and Jessie cringe
and just blah on the rest
Looking forward to Casa FUp soon pls
