Have at it!

Agree Jessie has her eye on the prize! Think she and Will will both stay single.

Martin is awful. C'mon Tanya there are much nicer guys in there.

I noticed before when Casey chatted to Claudia, his eyes stray around. He's full on intent on trying to find a new woman. Claudia seems lovely. I think she will stay single.

Lana may as well don a habit, she has no intention of straying. Silly woman.

Olivia will take back someone else if they show interest in her and if they are better looking than Kai. I guess the boxer was put in there for her? But surely she meets boxers all the time and would look for someone else?

There are no convincing/solid couples anyway so Casa Amour is very bleh. This whole LI is very bleh tbh, like watching a bunch of fame hungry, young people prancing about and showcasing much of what is wrong with today's society

Had to laugh when the guy chatting up Olivia said he was interested because she looked like she'd be fun. 😂

Once again, the producers have clearly been hard at work on the newbs. 'Get in quickly!' 'Get flirting!' 'You haven't much time!' 'Be upfront!' etc

Agree Jessie has her eye on the prize! Think she and Will will both stay single.

But one/both of them needs to do enough to give their story a bit of oomph for the later weeks.

True. And she knows it more than most I guess.

But I don't think either of them will bring someone new back to the villa.

Am I the only one quite enjoying this season? I’m happy there’s been quite a few mix ups with the couples and everyone’s not just settled down from day 1. And not as toxic as last summer.

My only issue is that I don’t have anyone I’m strongly rooting for- Shaq and Lana were my faves to begin with and I’ve gone off them both a bit.

Same, I'm enjoying it and I don't have a favourite couple. I've gone of Lana and Ron though.

I feel the same @riotlady

@BTphonehome I wondered this as well. Usually with the family/friends posting to the islanders accounts they attract followers as the family/friends share unseen pics, stories etc about the islander but no one really wants to follow dormant accounts...

I wonder if even the really popular islanders from this season will peak at around 600,000 followers, usually need at least 1 million+ for any of the good brand deals!

I’m enjoying it too @riotlady but then I enjoy every series and have no expectations. There’s definitely some who don’t seem to enjoy the show at all yet continue to watch in order to complain about it!

I enjoy it tho I think it become more contrived over last couple series. Although I am watching I think two a year is over kill. Whilst it's not just about looks I would say the new girls are pretty but not as stunning as the others. There was a hint at end about Olivia and will straying. I can believe Olivia but I don't think Will will stray.

Lana isn’t interested in any of the boys, she had that same bored drawl when talking to Cain that she had with Casey. She lights up with Ron the dog.

The casa girls seem more full on than the casa boys, that blonde one is defo older than she says by the way, desperate Dan vibes. I think the age of the casa boys will put the girls off, Cain very attractive and seems good craic but only 21, the boxer one also attractive but only 22. Martin is 27 I think but I think Tanya will toy with him maybe bring him back to see Shaqs reaction but ultimately stay with Shaq

I think if Tanya brings Martin back then Shaq will be done with her. I think she will get close with Martin and kiss him but won’t bring him back. And then it will all come out in movie night and Shaq will go mad.

Really surprised at Will as deffo looked like was going in for a kiss in the tomorrow night clip. And it looked like Olivia and Casey also going for it!

I think Jessie is way out of Will's league, so if he does stray I'll be pissed off. Wondering if they just made the bit at the end look more than it was?

I really like Claudia. I hope Casey sticks with her.

Still surprised so many of the girls were happy to share beds straight away, it's been a big argument in the past so be interesting to see if any of the guys hit the day beds.

After watching many series, I can tell its just part of the contract. Stupid imo. Makes no difference. I'd rather see things happen naturally. Like big brother back in the day.

I think there's an expectation that they will have a bedmate during Casa - just like there's an expectation that they'll sleep in their couples right from the first night.

But no-one is forced to share a bed if they really don't want to. Certainly not during Casa, I remember from previous series that not all did - Jake's the one to spring to mind and there have been others - and the producers won't mind if there's still a "story" in it

First look is up and Will definitely looks like he’s straying.

Where is first look? Is it on Istagram?

I don't know whether it's on Insta, but it's definitely on the app.

That looks like a pic from a challenge, because didn't he kip down with one of the brunettes?

Just seen it on insta, is the same girl with Will and Casey?

It'll be the game they always have. They've edited spoilers like this in the past.

The clip of Will at the end isn’t part of a challenge and it’s with the girl we saw him talking with last night and they agreed on sharing a bed. The girl talking to Casey is the girl we saw talking with Ron I think.

Watching on catch up. The casa girls have nothing on the OGs and the blonde one seemed to make Tom uncomfortable being so forward. I thought he liked Samie cos she's not so desperate so I don't think Sammy's approach will work. I agree that Jessie is out of Will's league, I think he'll flirt and snog but won't take anyone back. Tbh Jessie has really grown on me, I think she's absolutely gorgeous.

I think Shaq is going to end up on his lonesome. Tanya’s going to stray and he’s not going to be able to handle it. Can’t decide if he’ll stray himself yet. These Casa girls are v pushy
