Thought I’d start a new thread as we’ve run out of space on the old one!

I also disliked the way Molly intro'd herself with her full name in the VTs when nobody else does, like she's pushing the brand already. Ugh. I know the whole show is manipulative but hate when it's so brazen about it. If someone's an actress, I'd rather they were at least a bit quirky/bonkers with it like Ekin-Su.

As Sam Thompson said on Aftersun last night, Scott is in a no win situation in Casa because after gathering everyone round the firepit to have a go at them for not believing in his attraction to Catherine, he can’t very well now go off and explore a different connection without the likes of Ty saying they knew he wasn’t genuine. Meanwhile Catherine be out lipsing the oldest 22 year old in history and Scott is going to look a mug when she gets back.

Gothambutnotahamster · 03/07/2023 10:04

There's a great opportunity for CA people this year as quite a few definitely need to recouple - Jess is in a couple with Mitch, so they both need to recouple; Sammy & Whitney are both single; Kady might do it for the drama, especially if she's shown a postcard of Molly back (& so she'll assume Zach will recouple); Catherine and Scott are so-so and fingers crossed Ella recouples with Ouzy!

Gothambutnotahamster · 03/07/2023 10:05

I isn't watch Aftersun @EddieHowesShithousingMags but that's a very good point!

Also the way Molly basically just smirking in the whole conversation with Zach and repeating the same phrases as he squirmed a bit. Then walked off dramatically and started to put on some kind of sad look even though there was no dramatic final lines from either of them? In fact he’d just said nice things about thinking about her I think. Makes no sense and clearly so fake, producer directed

Regarding links to itv. Her mum may downplay her own relationship with the company but we know she is connected to the show/staff/producers and former islanders.

Feels similar to the Gemma situation where I think she was guaranteed producer steerage to the final (or close to) as part of agreeing to come on.

You're right there was no really dramatic conclusion to the Zachary/Molly convo and the dramatic way she stomped off was slightly farcical as in reality he was staring at a pair of naked buttons wobbling away! Can they not afford to buy a bikini that fits? 😂😂😂

Meloncooler · 03/07/2023 10:12

Agreed that Ella seems more relaxed around Ouzy, it’s nice to see her smile so much

Rainbow1997x · 03/07/2023 10:15

so tonight’s episode, it looks like they all meet and do a challenge together. I thought they kept them in separate villas

Unicornhornn · 03/07/2023 10:23

I don’t really get why Scott made a huge deal about the others saying he wasn’t really that into Catherine.

He is clearly interested in getting to know the new girls so I don’t think he is that into her. He said ‘I missed Catherine a bit last night, but when the new girls come in, I might not’. I think he is playing the game but is just a bit more ‘low key’ than some of the others.

Well you can’t blame Catherine for exploring her options after being told by some of the boys that Scott couldn’t possibly be attracted to her and that he is using her to stay in the villa.
Both of them have both said that things were going well but they weren’t closed off so why shouldn’t they both explore their options.
Tbh I really don’t think that Catherine was that into Scott .
However, I just don’t know what she sees in that old looking 22 year old

Bakemeacakeasfastasyoucan2 · 03/07/2023 10:31

I loved Mitch’s reaction when Molly walked in😄

Bakemeacakeasfastasyoucan2 · 03/07/2023 10:34

And the boys all getting their phones out trying to zoom in on the CA villa 😄

Nickelandadime · 03/07/2023 10:39

I really hope Ella brings back Ouzy too. Love Island definitely did their research with that one

Siameasy · 03/07/2023 10:40

Molly has no option other than Zach so it would be interesting if a new girl wanted him. I think he would be swayed

MotherofKitties · 03/07/2023 10:41

Catching up on last night - I think the male bombshells are decent! Ouzy had a beautiful face and Lochan is handsome too.

I love how the boys are all trying to see what's happening at Casa by using the zoom on their phones, that's hilarious but also so what anyone in their position would do 😆

Xxel · 03/07/2023 10:41

can’t see Kodie being picked then

Lucandev · 03/07/2023 10:42

Molly didn’t look too happy when some of the other girls were saying he is fit

Pieceofpie9 · 03/07/2023 10:47

When they zoomed in and said the bean bags were better and more plumped up 😆

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 03/07/2023 10:50

@Rainbow1997x they are still in separate villas but they play the same game at the same time.

It's normally along the lines of kiss the 3 girls you feel most attracted to, Tallest boy kiss the shortest girl,

The villa who completes the task fastest gets a point. The winning villa at the end normally get a party whilst the losing villa listens forlornly on

Ringringg · 03/07/2023 10:51

I don’t blame Catherine for exploring options to be honest. That conversation around the fire pit probably made her doubt things between her and Scott a bit.

I hope Mitch makes a connection with one of the new girls. I think I heard Gabie saying she thinks he is attractive.

Agree that Jess 100% has a type.

Is this true? That's a new way to mess with their heads. Everyone will be sizing up the opposition.

I was surprised that Zach was so hopeless in expressing himself in the Molly chat. He was much better handling Mitch last week. But anyway, that was bad editing having Molly stalk off* when he'd mumbled something about being glad she'd come back.

*Which reminds me - most LI girls wear/have worn spike heels with bikinis. What IS that? Wedges at a pinch perhaps but not heels. Puhlease.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 03/07/2023 10:58

@Gothambutnotahamster @Number4224 Thank you for the reminders on when people came back. It's coming back to me a wee bit.

Also, re Catherine, I hope she explores her options too, because like the lads the other night, I am not seeing any chemistry between her and Scott... They are not remotely suited IMO.

Hope Ella goes with the new lad too. I can't stand bloody Tyrique.

Pinkdelight3 · 03/07/2023 10:58

He does excellent OTT reactions - someone should (and probably has) make a 'MitchFace' compilation.

@kenyaswhiterefrigerator thank you, that makes sense! This is the first series I’ve watched.

Yes, I noticed this too and also went "urgh". I think she prob reckons she is some alpha female in there too. The boss of the girls because she has prior history and insider knowledge.
