Have at it!

I think Jessie and Will are the real deal now. They’re both really goofy and give no fucks, I think they’re a great match actually. Will is exactly the kind of person you need in there, endless boyish enthusiasm and she seems to really vibe off that.

Will and Jessie to win for me at the minute.

Yeah, I started off less than convinced about Will & Jessie but think there might be something in it now.

(Can I quote tweet everyone writing "Casa Amour" with the message "AMOR!").

Lana is a fool. Ron told her to her face, repeatedly, that she isn't his type. He treated her as a back up plan week after week. He went on about how Samie, who looks nothing like Lana, was exactly his type. Again to her face. His friends, even walking red flag Ron have not only called him out on how he treats her but actually gone against 'bro code' to tell Lana that he's still flirting with other girls behind her back and she's genuinely sitting there letting RON tell HER that she fucked up and made the wrong choice. And instead of telling him to do one she's explaining herself? Genuinely hurts to watch.

Not a fan that she chose Casey just to use him as a pawn to try and get Rons attention. He is far too nice for that. No longer keen on Lana.

Walking red flag Tom*

And Will is the only one we know with absolute certainty (if there is such a thing in life) that won't stray in CA. Maybe not shaq either.
Not convinced Ron would definitely stray if he gets back with Lana. It would almost be too predictable. It would take every last shred of his willpower not to but dare I say it (and will probably be proved wrong) I think he might have learnt something from the last few days. I still think he's a controlling little dickhead though.

Agree with everyone above about Ron and Lana.

I actually think Jessie really likes Will. I found her answer to his question about what her dream job would be at the very start of their romance quite surprising and maybe quite telling. She said "My dream is to be a mum". So I think she actually wants someone trustworthy to settle down with and she also comes across as quite sweet and insecure at times. Will is lovely and dependable and actually a real catch. So I think she's into him.

Does anyone think Lana and Ron are like Toby and Chloe and she will go back to him even if he strays in Casa public need to vote them out and Casey have deciding vote on most annoying couple. I'm raging at her.

I am so grateful Will is in the show - over the top, funny, weird - love him! Imagine how bloody flat it would be otherwise.

Lana should just have had the nuts to couple up with Ron prefacing it with right, last chance then I'm out type thing as poor casey is just collateral damage now - as predicted by pretty much everyone unfortunately. I think he'll be going home soon.

I found the gold shorts very distracting 😵

Hoping first look throws some new people in now!

Ron is manipulative "I know deep down you know you made a mistake" wtf and acting a dick in the challenge he's awful. Lana needs to wake up don't feel sorry for her at all she's had Casey for a twat.
Oooh Olivia is either right or paranoid now she thinks sammie has a beef with her!
Not 100 percent that Ellie is that into Jordan the "let it progress slowly " mmmm he seems decent as well. May be more suited to tanyel.

Apparently Tom has a bad temper. Zara said that he blew up because she was talking to other men in the villa and accused her of flirting .
He was very aggressive and reduced Zara to tears. So Tom is obviously not the calm laid back character that we see
This show is overproduced. The producers decide who they want to keep in and manipulate the voting in order to achieve their agenda.

Heart rate challenge tonight! This will be interesting. Don’t they normally do this after casa amor?

I love the heart rate challenge because its so cringey but I feel sorry for the participants. I looked last night and nobody had answered but has LI picked up? Since the beginning? I kinda wanna catch up

Yeah I feel for Casey he seemed really chuffed Lana had picked him and didn't seem to realise it might have been a fu to Ron. Lana is pretty dull and obviously a bit insecure with men.

I like Liv, I think she's a bit dramatic but she seems like a nice person. I like Tanyel too she's a very supportive friend. Not a fan of Sammie.

I am kind of buying into the Will and Jessie thing although I agree it's hard to believe. He is a nice looking boy but he's just so silly and effeminate. I agree she's quite down to earth and funny but I'm not entirely convinced he's her type. I've not seen any passion between them yet either.

I think only will and Jessie will survive Casa Amour at this point.

Oh yes! She'd have had Sunset Beach written all over her 😂

I want to say yes it has but to be honest it's still pretty low on entertainment and drama in comparison to other years!

Oh gawd. Heartbeat challenge is sleazy. Lap dancing. Stripper antics. Is this what we are thought to admire? Cringe-fest.

Hands in the air, sorry all but I love the heartbeat challenge 🤣

I have a theory and would love it if there's any Australians on here to correct me if I'm wrong...as an English person, I can immediately tell that Will is a bit camp/geeky by the way he talks. If I went to Australia I would not be able to tell the nuance in accents apart at all.

Could it be that because Jessie is Australian she doesn't see / hear the campness that all the English girls do, so it's allowed her to fall for his fun personality?

Dont get me wrong, I love it. She seems genuinely nice and I'm so so glad that Will hasn't turned into a Dr Alex / Hugo character because I think he's a sweetheart.

I'm also out for DH's birthday and am three glasses of prosecco deep so that might make zero sense....

From what we've seen of Australian men on MAFS Australia perhaps Will is a refreshing change

First look is up and it's the heartbeat challenge, woop woop!

I love it because it's so cringe

Also, new girl alert - anyone want to bet the Ron makes a move?!

Love it - enjoy!

Also, am I right in thinking that Tom picks Lana there in the challenge, to feel him up...?!

It looks that way. Do you think Tom really does fancy Lana - the whole 'you're like a sister' thing was just to get her away from Ron?

Miss foggy incoming.....

If he does fancy her and that's his tactic it's not working very well is it; despite everyone and everything pointing towards Ron being a PUA she's still running back to him

@NadjasNightclub I have 2 exceedingly camp colleagues over the years - and I mean exceedingly - both were married to women from overseas. One a Canadian and one a Dane. My theory was exactly what you’ve expressed!
