Title once again inspired by @CarpyDiem among others

#Never #Noregreeeeets

Just as I’d forgotten about how much I disliked Olivia up she pops. I’ve voted Kai and Sanam

I’ve voted Kai and Sanam as well, largely because I want to see Olivia’s face when she’s in the bottom and they’re not.

other than them the only ones I vaguely like are Tom + Samie

Olivia is a horrible little weapon. I can't stand her.

Kai and Sanam for me too - same reason. Can't stand Olivia !

I voted Will and Jessie as there has suddenly been a horrid gang up. I don't know if they are genuine but that wasn't nice

What a strange and nasty turn for this show. An episode of pure bitchiness and scheming.

Olivia has somehow come out unharmed. Patently Maxwell stirring at her behest really. I think they have an agreement to play the game and weaken other couples so they stay as long as possible. When Casey went to Claudia and Sammie and whoever else (tom? Ron?) about what Maxwell said they are all like “who said that? Maxwell?!” Either they are super dumb or just scared shitless of Olivia. Surely they all know it would have come through her but nobody says it.

Olivia then throws Lana and whoever else into the ring and comes out straight with her bitching and nobody takes her on to accuse her of stirring.

Was there a general feeling amongst the islanders of Jessie being disingenuous or are they just kowtowing to the power of Queen Bee Olivia?

Either way Olivia’s scheme has 100% worked.

Producer plot to try and keep Olivia in for longer, right before a public vote? It won’t work sadly.

I see Shaq and Tanya and Kai and Sanam didn’t get a look in tonight’s episode at all.

Voted for Kai and Sanam as don’t want to risk them being in the bottom. I think Claudia (girls stick together vibes) and Shaq and Tanya have enough support already.

Olivia needs to be in bottom two or three.

💯 agree with this totally!

I’ve voted Will & Jessie, probably another ploy so lesser couples don’t get voted.
Olivia is so Sly and unlikeable please let her be out

A public vote??

faints

The audacity of Olivia accusing Jessie of playing a game after her own behaviour throughout! How is she still even there?

Olivia is the only person I can think of in Villa history who has ever referenced people doing things to ‘remain relevant’ and whatever else she implied. She has also brought up bottom 3 a lot in recent weeks.

Quite possibly correct (I also think Jessie is fake) but does she only say it because this is exactly how she thinks and decides her action in the villa and is narc enough to think all others are 100% like her in how they operate?

Terrible episode!

🧐 I’m wondering if the reported wildfires close to the villa prevented the programme makers from recording whatever they’d planned over the past couple of days - and if they perhaps got the islanders to drag out that stupid, dull, pointless argument because there was nothing else to show?

Just bloody once when someone says 'they are playing a game' I'd love one of the others to reply 'aren't we all?'

As a fellow Aussie woman, I can't help wondering if some of this may be cultural, as well. Jessie was actually very restrained - for an Aussie woman - in what she said to Casey - to me, it was her giving him her opinion of what he'd said to Tom and Will. I happen to agree with her, they shouldn't have apologised to Casey. 'I thought the guys would support me'...oh, they whole 'bros before hos' thing, hey? Like they explained, they were trying to cheer Claudia up. It was a stupid fucking game, FFS!

Frankly I'm hoping if it is a double couple dumping that both Casey and Claudia go. Be even better if it was a triple dumping, they could take Oliva and Maxwell with them.

Totally this! I don’t think there has been anyone so fixated on how they will be appearing and playing the game as Olivia. She reminds me of Nasty Nick from BB.

I really hope that the discussion with Will and everyone at the end will make people start looking at Liv in a new light. They admitted that Maxwell was shit stirring and it doesn’t take too much working out to realise that it’s come from her.

@LikeTearsInRain yes she was pretty much breaking the fourth wall there. She said something like 'she's very aware of this environment' which meant 'the cameras'.

Bit tedious but I do quite like a bit of arguing between them Though, we've not had much this year.

Feel like Sanam gets no screen time!

Liking Tom and Samie. Although didn't she say she didn't know what exclusive meant 😂

Jessie was wrong to talk to Casey. He'd already spoken to Tom and Will and sorted it. I thought his reaction was fair.
In bed with Will it was Jessie doing all the talking and mentioning Casey's name, not Will.
There's been a fair bit of 'Jessie's fake' on this thread too so I'm not sure why people are surprised. I've believed in their relationship all along (gullible maybe)
I think the fact there's little shown of Ron and Lana and Kai and Sanam is due to the fact there's no drama. They like each other and are enjoying spending time together. Doesn't make them boring, just normal couples. Surely that's the point of the show?

Have they all forgotten how sweet and nice Jessie has been the whole time? And now all ganging up…because she ‘voiced an opinion’ (in a sweet restrained way) God forbid she might have an opinion that might slightly criticise the moody charmless Casey… absolute bunch of snakes and bullies.

I noticed twice in this evening's episode (once was Jessie and the other was Will), Liv asked 'are you ok?' in a leading tone and they both immediately asked her why she was asking that. I think they and probably Samie, Claudia and Tom all see through her and I think we might actually see her finally being called out on her behaviour.

I think they and probably Samie, Claudia and Tom all see through her and I think we might actually see her finally being called out on her behaviour.

I hope so. It’s infuriating seeing someone accuse a person of doing the exact things that they do. I think Olivia is shaping up to be the LI arch villain of all time! I’d love to see a reel of all her snaky behaviour put together. All the snarky little “it’s all clear now” comments, the side eye, the smirks, suggesting how incompatible certain couples are and how fake others are. All done in such an insidious way so as to go undetected.

Catching up now, Samie looked unreal going into the hideaway, and feel like Casey handled Jessie appropriately she didn't need to go talk to Casey and can see how he'd feel she was there just trying to make him feel bad

Wills reaction to Casey who is milking it a bit is the most " macho" he's been. A stark contrast to the hideaway text

Yes, I was thinking this. All a bit random

I think that Keanan should have been an original cast mate. He has a great personality

I agree Keenan wasted coming this late-very likeable and would have done well earlier in the villa.

Think someone up thread hit the nail in the head with Claudia-when she said "what am I going to do now?" is why she is crying-it's too late for her.

I am to my utter amazement liking Sami and Tom and Kai and Sunam.
Really don't want snakey Ron or snakey Tanya to win.

If you are horrible in the beginning (Ron) people tend to forget... and how is Tanya's appalling Casa behaviour completely swept under the carpet. Hope they go out.

He was an utter shit and just kept stirring, and has set the others off with the idea that she’s fake

Thats not an appropriate reaction - it’s nasty. And Ron and Olivia ran with it with glee.

very toxic. The true colours are unattractive (I liked Casey for a long time, not now - having to be the ‘bad guy’ in a triangle is inherent on LI, but this pissing on other residents is choice and a nasty one)

(NB could also be very fake - Will will be the hero and the win’s in the bag)
