Have at it!

I try to think that there is some real parts but Olivia, Shaq and Tanya decide that today is the day to tell Jordon that Tanyels not interested just before the recoupling. Was looking forward to Tanyel in Casa as the rest now seem to be settling

Claudia could get to choose first, pick Tom then Sammi would be at risk.
Theyre not gonna put her in just for her not to get picked.

I think Claudia will go for Casey as he's the nicer person and not a player. I think she fancies Tom, but will pick Casey.

Unfortunately either Ellie or Tanyel will go 😭 I think Ellie, although she's by far the most beautiful girl in there.

Surprisingly, I quite like Claudia 😃She's fun and bubbly and not as vacant as some of the others.

Poor Ellie Will go, I actually think she will be happy to go.

It’s the boys turn to pick so Claudia won’t be choosing

I haven't watched last night's yet, but I think Casey is too 'boy next door' for Ellie. I assume she goes for a bad boy. She'd eat him alive I reckon.

The period thing has definitely been mentioned by a previous islander. They said they just continuously take the pill.

Claudia seemed to be having more normal conversations rather than sticking to the script. Jordan didn't seem particularly receptive to the information that Tanyel isn't interested and I think he may still pick her.

UNDERHORSE 😂

@TellingBone Claudia went to her date dressed as a certain emoji 💩she is quite chatty and agree more normal conversation but just don't know if she's too old.

God the date debrief....Casey buzzing and chatting away and Tom just looking on at him quietly like, yeah, I'm taking her!

So this recoupling is really all down to the picking order, although without doubt the conversation Shaq and Tanya had with Jordon will influence his decision if he's left with Tanyel and Ellie.

@TitsInAbsentia The top was okay-ish but that skirt! And the colour - as you say 💩

Not sure you're right about whom Tom would pick between her and Samie though. I think he fancies Samie more physically and Tom's all about the looks despite what he says. He talks a good game, as Casey so rightly said about Ron.

Yes - another production-led conversation from Shaq to Jordan. It's so transparent. I can't see Jordan with any of the current girls, nor Tanyel or Ellie with any of the boys. Perhaps they'll click with someone at Casa [whichever stays]. Trouble with Casa though is that it's full of people just dying to hook up with anyone with a pulse solely to get into the villa.

Yeah I bet that chat was devised so we would have the cliff hanger of who Jordan picks 🙄 in all fairness tanyel will probably go though she brings more drama than Ellie....and those saying Ellie is beautiful etc she may just be boring? Beauty only goes a little way.
Noticed Olivia's face too when Claudia was getting ready.
Did anyone notice shaq really speaking in a can't be arsed voice last night? Especially when reading the results of the challenge.

Will and Jessie mmmmm o do think it could be real yes he's camp and a joker but remember the editing he's not playing up 24/7 they probably do have deep and meaningful a but they have him down as the class clown so show that instead! Tbh he is funny as fuck.

Yes - he got more reaction than most of the others in the heartrate challenge. And they gave him longer time in the Romans, and the reactions they showed from the girls were much more enthusiastic for him. But still the top result when girls vote is always Shaq.

I'm wondering if that tells us more about the girls' pecking order than opinion of the boys?

I want Jessie&Will to win. Don't know how split continents work as his job isn't exactly portable. Esp not if one day he'll inherit

Just caught up.

In the heart rate challenge, found it a bit telling how quiet everyone went when Tanya's heart rate was raised most by Tom. There were jeers, claps or laughs with the others, it was like they didn't want to start Shaq off.

From what we got shown of the dates, I actually thought Claudia got on better with Tom. The conversation seemed so much more natural, it was all "ticking boxes" with Casey, but I guess it could have been nerves if she does prefer him. Samie reiterating to Claudia what her type is (Casey) just in case she'd forgotten, did make me chuckle. I really like Claudia so far. She seems really warm and down to earth.

There seems to be a lot of brown clothing in the villa. Is this in now? I do hope not as it's literally a shit colour for spring.

I am actually starting to warm to Tom. He is coming across as really level headed now and not just a fuck boy.

Didn't get any bitchy vibes from Olivia.

I love Will and Jessie. A lot of the time during filming, you can see them in the background together messing about and cuddling. Clearly very easy with each other. #forthewin

That conversation was definitely orchestrated by the producers.
It just seemed so random

Yes. I noticed too. I think Shaq has a temper. I noticed Tanya danced but held back a lot. Again not to risk Shaq losing it.

Ellie is beautiful etc she may just be boring? Beauty only goes a little way.

Ellie is actually a spitting image of my best friend (except Ellie is a bit taller). We've been friends since early childhood and I could never understand how someone so beautiful could have so much trouble with men. My friend has been single most of her life and always has boy-troubles. It's a mystery because she's gorgeous and really nice as well. But I think men think she's boring.

If Kai who comes across as being as boring as it’s possible to be can find someone, then it’s highly likely Ellie isn’t interested in anyone other than Tom and isn’t playing the producers game. She probably is not the right candidate for Dull Island which is not a bad thing at all.

True. Kai's "chats" are truly insufferable. Ellie appears to be too good for the boys there. I wonder why Tom didn't fancy her.

I think Will and Jessie are just a ‘convenience couple’.
She wants to move to London and make it big in some way probably
He is obviously gay, God, that hip swivelling!!!
When they went in the room alone there were lots of outfit trying on and laughs but when it came to bed time, nothing shown of them having a shag, unlike the other couples where it’s made pretty obvious that’s what they are doing under the covers and Jessie told Tanya they went all the way!
I don’t mind if they win but they are definitely playing the game…a good game.

Ellie was really full on during her chats with Tom. Telling him about how much noise they'd make in bed etc. I'm wondering if this put him off at all? Some guys would prefer a bit of a chase at least! I still think Tom has a thing for Olivia tbh. And Ellie is polar opposite to her. I'd like to see him with Claudia though. They seemed to bounce off each other.

I thought it was pretty clear from the sweaty post coital sigh that Will and Jessie did that they’d just boffed. I believe in them. Surely you’d not shag someone on tv unless you really fancied them. Arguably it might hinder your career so more reason not to do it if a couple of convenience. I don’t get gay vibes from Will, he’s extremely camp but some of the most comfortable in their masculinity/heterosexuality men that I know are camp as Fuck.

Another episode not keeping my attention. Bring on Casa Amor.

The women look freeeeeezing.

I liked Will's speech.

Much better to be talking in terms of "think I'm falling for her" rather than full on declarations of love
