Have at it!

Martin's trousers were "interesting"! Still didn't put Tanya off though. I like ?Ryan and hope he goes back into the villa but I don't think old Sami will choose him.

Ok, I'll bite.

I'm not seeing the segregation at all. Yes I'd get it f the black contestants weren't being accepted by their own sexes, but this absolutely isn't the case.

It's perfectly ok for people not to be attracted to somebody for whatever the reason. Some men don't find black women attractive - that's ok. Some white women only date black men, again it's choice. There are a few white men in the public eye, Will Mellor and Shane Lynch are 2, off the top of my head, who only seem to date black women. Should I be massively insulted by this as a white woman? Nope, I'm just not their type.

Personally, I'm not that shallow, but then again I wouldn't go by hair colour/eye colour or all this ridiculous "my type on paper stuff". Obviously there has to be an initial attraction there though, but to me the real attraction comes from within (this sounds really corny, but if someone is ugly inside I no longer find them attractive visually).

People going on about Martin’s dress sense… none of the contestants have anything but questionable dress sense!

I have no idea why she is doing all the grafting. Martin is supposed to be grafting to get in the house.
Tanya is definitely coming across as desperate .
Really don’t like Martin tbh

She isn’t grafting - she fancies him!

And he’s quite happy to be carried along - all the way into the main house. I’ll say again, thinking of possible futures in the outside world, Tanya’s a (biomedical?) science student, as well as a relatively successful SM person, and Shaq is an airport security guard. (If that’s just his day job while he studies it hasn’t been shared with viewers.) Martin is a world away from Shaq and she would obviously have much more in common with him in real life. It’s not about wanting a man to ‘keep her’ - but Martin’s probably closer to the sort of man her parents might see her with.

But poor Martin - have we seen him addressing a remark to a single other woman there? I mean, I’m sure he has, but the producers are pretty clear on the only narrative they’re prepared to allow him.

Olivia is so boring. She has also made it blatantly obvious that she is on LI for fame and doesn't care about finding love. I wish there was a way for us to vote for our least favourites again.

An airport security guard isn’t ‘good enough’ for a science student? On a game show? You do realise these are contestants on a game show not people looking fur a spouse? Tanya is coming across as desperate. Martin is awful, he has a haughty manner and he isn’t good looking.
But maybe you are right. Tanya likes him because of his job. Black people on the show seem very impressed by people’s jobs. Maybe it’s the same in real life as somebody on this thread posted how superior Martin was to pretty much everyone else despite the face he hadn’t yet spoken on the show!
Maybe that’s why black people beer towards each other on the show then.

*veer

I think this is what happens when you starve people of booze for a few weeks and then give them half a shandy 😂

I really want Claudia to bring someone back but who? They've put a bunch of kids in there (bar Martin who seems to be earmarked for Tanya, so she's not going to step on toes there even if she did like him and I think the chest tatt guy is the next oldest).

Hopefully we'll get the OG girls back in and then off with some bombshell dates before we risk losing them.

Casa doesn't usually last that long does it?

First look...seems like the girl who went in for Tom might have succeeded - or could it be a careful edit!

Is Casa about 3 days normally?

I hope not Tits, I’ve got a bet on him staying faithful.

@DDoOneRon It's an edit, I think he won't kiss her.

I think Casey is being lined up to bring Cynthia back, only for Shaq to steal her. Then maybe Casey will stay with Claudia.
The girl with Tom isn’t half as gorgeous as Samie but is more tactile maybe that’s what Tom prefers.
I think Samie and the ginger boy a much better match.

The girl with Will (vomit)

Casey needs to calm it down, him telling Cynthia she deserves a kiss, just creepy like he’s some sort of prize. Worse he repeated it. Yuk

Casey has on a few occasions referred to himself as the best looking, or remarked someone has made the best choice in choosing him or whatever. I thought he was just being cheeky and joking, but it appears not. Nothing wrong in backing yourself of course, but if you need to point this out to every 'lucky' lady (between giggles) you must be seriously lacking in other areas I feel.

I really hope Claudia can find someone decent - but I don't think there's anybody remotely worthy of her in there.

Ughhh Casey. Almost making Ronald look honourable (though totally agree with those who saying he is only staying squeaky clean by default) I expected him not to stray but thought he might flirt a bit more in there)

The lads in Casa are just too young for Claudia but she probably doesn’t needs the fame as much as others do. Can’t see Kai getting much in brand deals or getting back into teaching. Feeling sorry for Layla she’s done what she had to do but she is going to get abuse

I've just read that a record 9, yes 9 people will be dumped from "the island " following the post Casa Amor recoupling. Previous dumplings have never been more than 6 in one go.

Anyone that can lower herself to discuss sexual kinks with Will in order to get on TV doesn't deserve sympathy imo, they need therapy. I think I do too after witnessing it 😱

Thinking about it (but desperately trying not to) I fear for those sheep.

I think people are dipping in and out and it isn't as popular. Its like hate watching for many people.

They need to replace half of them with more interesting people, they aren't selecting interesting people so will have to settle for just replacing them.

I am disgusted with myself for being fooled by Casey. He's a slime ball.

That clip of Casey on first look 'you deserve a kiss' I thought he was so lovely a week ago!

Wow 9 people so that would mean only 3 recouple? Is that right?
