Have at it!

I hope they have to stay to Sunday to give Ron time to mess up, he will get bored by then.
The only 2 Coming out of this good is unfortunately Lana and Ron
I like Sammy and the red haired boy but they are never going to win so she will come back alone.

I like Shaq I just think he put too much pressure on himself to be a strong, loyal character that he goes too far. Tanya needed to tell him that it was over and the producers needed to tell Shaq that he was being to intense as it has done neither of them any favours. This was shaping up to a black couple having a chance of winning and it imploded. Now it’s back to what seemed the preferred couple all along Ron and Lana.

Were any of the Casa girls even interested in Ron?

He needs more time to trip up. I think he can see the game they are playing, he recognises it because he is playing it himself.

Tom is the same but he is currently with the best looking woman between both villas (Samie) and knows it.

I think the only boys coming out of this well are Ron and Shaq, probably because they're not interested in the CA girls and those girls are only concentrating on the boys that could get them into the villa.

Still don't get the negative comments about Shaq on here

Less invested in what any of the OG girls get up to

I think the Casa girls are being clever with Ron, he talks the talk but goes back to Lana, they need someone they can break and also be chosen. Ron may easily break but he’s going to stick with Lana. I’d be looking that original Sammi couldn’t break Ron then they’ve no chance.

Absolutely
Shaq is bloody hard work. I actually don’t blame Tanya for wanting to escape
Unfortunately for Tanya , Shaq is going to get the victim edit.

Will has always been weird but he was so creepy tonight.

Agree that Casey comes across really badly now. He’s always scanning the horizon to see if someone/thing more interesting is going on. He seems v sleazy.

Tanya came across as so desperate with Martin. It was so awkward to watch. He said he was tired, wanted to go back to where the boys were - I can’t work out if he just isn’t going to play her game of “You kiss me so I can blame it on you” or is just generally obtuse. I found it a bit cringe.

The slightly ginger haired one whose name I can’t recall should definitely have been an OG. He’s wasted in CA - he has a lot more about him than the other boys including the gormless feckers in the main villa.

Liv. Oh dear! I’ve been a fan but all the talk of Kai being in the bottom 3 was really awkward. As someone said upthread these things aren’t discussed! I can’t believe she’s going there particularly with that whippersnapper who looks like he’s spent the last 5 years trying to grow that straggly wispy beard.

That girl with Will reminds me of the infamous Coco from last summer. She’s just playing with Will’s head and I can’t believe he’s fallen for it. She’s awful. Let’s hope he doesn’t do an Andrew…
I swear Will gets more camp with every episode. He reminded me of Kenneth Williams tonight. ooooohhhhh Matron!!!!

Casey was the final part of Shaqs downfall, the lads took sides for Casey. He dragged them into it with the disrespectful and nice guy comments. He hadn’t really known Lana for much longer than he knew Claudia. I can see why Claudia would stay faithful even though she’s only known Casey for a few days as he gave the impression he was the opposite of Ron.

Casey is so sleazy, it's hard to watch.

Liv. Oh dear! I’ve been a fan but all the talk of Kai being in the bottom 3 was really awkward. As someone said upthread these things aren’t discussed!

😂 I've never been fond if Kai, but that new guy... wtf is she thinking?!? 🤦‍♀️

Agree about Casey. So sleazy. And those unnaturally white teeth are getting on my nerves.

Will - what on Earth is he doing?!? Does he not know he's on camera?

It's weird that the campest guys (Will/Casey) are the ones who are most into the desperate new girls.

With Margin and Tanya is seems he's put off by her desperate attempts to pull him. I don't like him, but she's coming across much worse than him.

Well it always falls apart at Casa. I'm surprised at Will he's coming across like a horny teenager. Surely no one finds that attractive.

I don't think Casey has to have loyalty to Claudia it was very new. He's testing the water.

I agree Tanya clearly wants rid of Shaq, Martin comes across as arrogant. Not an attractive quality at all.

(I quite like Martin).

Or maybe this is the real him? He's extremely patronising and sticks his nose in where it's not needed. When others offer him advice he talks over them as he doesn't think their advice is more valuable than his own.

And why should the producers tell him to rein it in? So he can be something he's not, then win just to become first black couple to do so?

It's sad that Tanya feels she needs to line up his replacement before she gets rid... unfortunately common at that age I guess though.

I've decided Casey is pretty dim. All that giggling is just him disguising he doesn't actually have anything intellectual to say.

Will is awful. Poor Jessie. I did have to laugh when whatever her name is said he intrigued her and he jumped in and told her why - "because I'm so fun" then agreed with her as though she'd said it. He really does buy into this whole clown character he portrays. I really can't see this gets him women on the outside. I reckon he's the type that pretends to be best friends with girls, then when they're upset/vulnerable offers them more than a shoulder. Such a sleaze.

Will I still be allowed to be part of this discussion if I say I actually now like Ron , he clearly likes Lana and he's had plenty of time he could of strayed and stayed away . Especially with Tanyel .
I think he got a bad rap from everyone and now all the other boys are or have jumped shop or strayed he's turned it round.

I think Ron only hasn't strayed this time due to lack of options though. He isn't attracted to any of them. Think it would have been a different story if he had and his 'Trust Me' note would have gone straight out the window.

Martin is arrogant and has shit dress sense shocked at Tanya being so desperate shaq 10 times better.
Casey went with Claudia as she was the only option he has choice now hence him being like a kid in a sweet shop do feel bad for Claudia though.

Yy to Ron did you see his face in the kissing game when no one chose him 😂 no one is chasing him hence why he's behaving.

Will has been a twat I really like Jessie he's just fucked everything now and won't be liked by the public. There's always one casa girl with no airtime poor Lynda! I can't tell the others apart except new samy. The girl toms chatting too seems to have a good personality. And why did they put so many young ens in for the girls? Need a couple of older ones for Claudia/Olivia even Lana saying that Olivia has jumped ship for a young en that kids was a bit errrgggh with all his bum fluff 😂

The casa lot get to watch the show until a couple of days before entering. At that point Ron was most definitely not a viewer favourite so will influence their behaviour towards him.

I noticed nobody kissed him at all in the game which was telling

And makes it very easy for him to stay ‘loyal’.

Also laughed when Will announced "I'm not vanilla, baby" whilst sporting a pair of vanilla trousers and those hideous vanilla shoes.

Me too. And he has beautiful skin.

Its looking more and more like the producers tell the people who to couple up with based on ethnicity..

It's sad that Tanya feels she needs to line up his replacement before she gets rid... unfortunately common at that age I guess though.

I guess it’s because it’s literally part of the game show that she’s in and we’re all watching.

Two of us! Two, out of a population of 70 million! Hope you’re prepared for the vituperative scoffing and dismissal?
