Have at it!

Think the producers want Shaq out.

You are not alone 😆

Yeah that’s the second time now they’ve stitched him up directly before a public vote!

It's soooo fake.

Fair play to Shaq like, Ron is a lazy wee plank.

I think it’s really interesting how there’s a divide between the boys. Not sure we’ve ever seen that before.

im enjoying this series 🤷🏼‍♀️ but then I don’t ask for much and am fairly easily pleased.

I will join you in your camp (excuse the pun). I’ve had colleagues who think they are comedians and he reminds me of them. It gets very wearying after a short time.

Shaq was more annoyed with being ignored than the dishes. Ron’s peeing me off, complains about being isolated but either does his fair share of bitching with Kai or isolates himself.

Ron was totally I'm the wrong, he was talking about a split on the boys and didn't try to mend it by cleaning up.
Shaq was right to go over the only thing he done wrong was he didn't call the other 2 the first time he shouted over so looked like he was picking on Ron but I really dislike Ron and Lana.
Will and Jessie are my favourites even they are game playing it is a game after all to see who comes out on top.
Kai and Oliva would get my vote to go but it will be Jordan and Ellie

Ron does not come across as nice person. If he genuinely wanted to heal the rift he would have gone to help. He was asked many times to help by lots of the boys and he just sat there smirking. He was clearly trying to annoy Shaq. Even Kai was annoyed with him.
Shaq did overact though, I can understand why he was so annoyed but he would have been better to leave it.
Not sure who my favourites are, maybe Ellie and Jordan!

Completely agree @Evanna13 - Ron seems so nasty and a wind up merchant!

Yep it’s so obvious! The producers have favourites and he isn’t one of them.

Ron clearly pulled his weight earlier tho they weren't complaining when he did most of cooking!

I'm behind again. It's probably been mentioned.

If someone I didn't know or like did that to me my heart would race.

If Will gave you the ick wouldn't it make you panic.

I don't understand this challenge.

Hello! Despite my best efforts to try not watch this year I've been sucked in over the last week and need to discuss!

I'm in now way a Ron fan, he needs to get in the bin. But last night he basically did most of the cooking and telling people what to do whilst a few others were just larking around- no one said anything to them? Think Shaq just doesn't like him and seizes any opp he can to make it known maybe?

I'm not buying Tom and Sammi. Tom doesn't seem that keen?

Claudia seems to really like Casey? It felt quite natural her giddiness .

I can't work out Jessie and Will at all! He's so camp but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gay, at points it's seems really genuine between them?

I'm excited for casa amor because apart from Will and Jessie I'm not sold on any of them!

I don't like Ron or Lana at all(!!) but Shaq has started giving me really controlling/possessive/aggressive vibes. I think he's a bit too obsessed with Tanya. It's borderline worrying.

I actually think Tom is quite keen on Samie, but she's not that keen on him? Maybe she's just playing hard to get to keep his interest? His interactions with Claudia seem more natural than with Samie. She's very arrogant.

And cam I just saw how over the moon I am that Jordan kept Ellie in!!!! Even though they will probably get voted out now 😭

can*

I posted about this when she first came in. She really does.

I don't get how Ron blamed Casey for making a big deal out of "the divide", when it was him that brought it up?

I agree that Shaq's outburst had nothing to do with Ron not helping - he just doesn't like him.

Kai is certainly not playing the game is he? Teaming up with Ron is just another nail in his coffin.

Bring on Casa!

I missed last night's episode but disappointed to see that Tanyel left over Ellie 😭

Didn't really get that lads' conversation about the divide. It seemed to consist of Ron saying they need to talk about the divide and everyone agreeing - yes, let's get it out in the open. Right, so now it's out in the open and that's that then. Carry on.

Huh? 🤔

Also, laughing a lot raises heart rate - which they were definitely doing at Will!

It could never have been described as very scientific but at least in previous years the challenge involved dancing, in front of the others who stayed sitting down. In this one, they just stomped around licking each other, as well as boys picking girls up and carrying them around - which will affect heart rates too - so it was even more meaningless

aw thank you @CarpyDiem - for once I was actually watching my phone for the notification!!

@ChipsAreLife Totally agree, if Ron had done most of the cooking, surely not unreasonable that the others would do more of the cleaning up and I am no fan of Ron's.

I think Shaq and Ron really dislike each other so there can be no resolution of the divide.

I don't care who did the cooking (no actually, why didn't Ron just casually mention he'd done it and therefore didn't need to do anything else?).......chocolate covered strawberries are not dessert...must try harder!

Pretty lame episode, hope this divide doesn't become any bigger as it could turn aggy.

Surprised to see Casey and Claudia bonding so quickly!

Surprised to see Casey and Claudia bonding so quickly!

Casey seems to bond with everybody quickly - the boys appear to worship him already! He's either totally amazing, or they all hate Ron that much they're trying to rub it in 😂
