Have at it!

Friendship couple? Maybe with Jessie. Could still be a strong contender, and perhaps would have better things to talk about than the endless where their heads at

I don't think Jessie will recouple. She will stay with Will. I feel so sorry for her. She appears to be very nice and Will turned into a creep.

As for Shaq, he wouldn't be able to continue if Taya were with Martin. He would lose it.

Forever to be known now as Lucky Lynda!

Will and Jessie are being set up as a/the rival couple to Lana and Ron - because it would be boring if the latter had a clear run to the prize. That’s why Will was in all probability engineered into a thing with Ms Cantaffordabigenoughbikinitop. (Though by the time he delivered the ‘bad’ news she’d downgraded to a nice thick denim jacket.)

Surely Shaq wants to stay there as long as possible? In which case he’ll do whatever the producers tell him to - including re-coupling.

I think all casa people should have to wear name badges just to help me out!
You have a great point about everyone just pairing up straight off, there was no edge it was just pick someone and try your best to get in to the main villa.

Ha! People are apparently speculating that Lynda may already have left! (Unasked for online headline from newspaper I don’t read.)

I thought I’d spotted her once briefly in the past two broadcast days, but can’t be sure. They’re saying she hasn’t been seen for 24 hrs.

Who knows?

I saw her in the line up in the preview last night.
Anyway I don't think they should cast the extra 1 or 2 boys and girls if they get no air time and are not deemed very good looking??
Even Sammy number 2 wasnt all that, so thats just awkward.
whats the point?

She might have proved hugely attractive if we’d ever heard her utter a single word other than her name and age and ‘Manchester’. She has lovely facial features but neither the outfits nor the attachments were at all flattering to her. And silence isn’t exactly thrilling on a chat-based game show!

Sammy is perfectly conventionally attractive, just too ‘old’, like Olivia, for any of the adolescent boys in the villa.

Ellie did an interview where she said there is a lot of tension this year with both a men and women divide with constant rows that are not aired.

It baffling why anyone would choose to go in there.

@Chasedbythechaser where did you see the interview?

Olivia definitely thinks she's a great catch, that's why her main question to everyone is 'so why are you attracted to me?' I find her really boring to be honest, she just drones away about herself and has absolutely nothing interesting to say. She's such a mixer as well - can't confront anyone face on, but will happily make comments and dogs behind their backs!

It came up on my Facebook page - the link was from one of the tabloids.

Ellie’s observations are from her ‘Extra Sauce’ interview on the LI app.

Aha, yes - Lynda is in the first look clips for tonight. Just watched.

Yes, first look, where Casey announces a lot of hearts will be broken. No doubt he means only by him, when he decides which lucky lady has earned the pleasure of his giggle filled 69's. Sigh. Hope they've got the island counsellor on standby.

I thought exactly the same! He means Claudia! He is coming out so badly from this. He is incredibly immature and is completely lacking in self awareness - absolute plonker!

In that case there are weaker links for him such as Olivia and Claudia who are not in real or established couplings. Olivia is particularly desperate

The worry is that he doesn't mean Claudia and he means all the Casa girls as he returns to his princess after a few days of "testing himself". I mean, I know she'll find out, but I just couldn't bear his smug face as he announces he's sticking with her, like he's some kind of moral saint.

He really is a plonker 😂

Found an article on Digital Soy about it.

And something from Tanyel….

I’m wondering that Casey means heart broken about being sent home rather than being dumped by someone he’s known for 48 hours (both Claudia and Cynthia) and as Claudia won’t be going home it’s the Casa girls.

I wouldn't have thought of Olivia as an easy way in. Turns out now she may well be, but up until Casa, she's needed a bit of a warm up to be turned. Personally I'd have gone for Tanya as it's clear she's desperate for a way out.

Yeah but this is Casey we're talking about 😂

Martin could have easily gone for Olivia if he wanted her. He was astute in spotting that she wasn't even 3rd choice for Kai. And he could have worked that narrative to sway her over. I think he also knows that he's a better catch than Maxwell. Olivia has gone from being hard to crack to lipsing Maxwell on what was it, day 1 of Casa? So she would have been easy enough off Martin if he wanted her.

Ooh on episode 21 trying to catch up, wasn't really paying attention at the start and thought that LI had actually shown some fun moments, realised it was unseen bits! If I choose to watch another series and I keep up I may actually watch those episodes a lot more fun than actual episodes

Thing is how do we know he didn't go for Olivia? We see so little....we def need to send in a mn swat team for the next LI with hidden cameras.

Anyway, first look...contained far too many uses of the word 'test' for my liking 😤
