Ok. As long as we agree then that these islanders are also aggressive:

Jess (very)
Ella
Leah
Ty (very)
Mitch
Sammy (very)
Scott (for swearing at Leah)

A lot of aggressive young people on television, I think I must write to Ofcom to complain.

Yep they have all been aggressive. Why you're taking exception to one of them being labelled as such is bonkers.

@AussieKoala And stop bringing race into it - it doesn't have to be racism to be hateful.

I just wanted to be clear that you brought race into it, not me. I responded accordingly. I will leave it there.

I mentioned her race because it's happened before where a black woman is the only one called aggressive despite other islanders behaving in a worse way.
I think it's unfair.

I however never said the word racism. You did, multiple times.
You also failed to give specific examples of her aggressive behaviour, (showing me what someone has said on twitter doesn't count).

In any case, I think it's been shown based on the criteria provided by @Twonewcats that several islanders are aggressive this year - some are very aggressive even. Hopefully they will all be described as such.

Err because no one else has been called aggressive besides Cat...

But as long as they are ALL described as aggressive gong forward as I just said to @littlehattie, then that's fine with me.

Just watched on catch up

It was actually Catherine who made the comment about no one wanting Scott first.

She said ‘It was because you didn’t get the girls, that’s clearly what it was’ and then Leah says ‘wait, didn’t he try it on with all the girls and none of them wanted him’ and Amber says yeah. Leah then said ‘that’s what I heard’.

Nobody except Catherine has been described as aggressive? Firstly I'd be surprised if thats the case. Faye etc has been called aggressive just tonight, for example.
Secondly, Sammy has been slated over and over; Jess was spoken about extremely negatively at the start; etc etc. You're at pains to say you've not used the word racism, yet have brought up colourism a few times, and keep ignoring any negative comments against anyone who isn't black - even Ouzy who's mixed race. So if your point isn't about race, then PLEASE explain what it IS about.

I've also ignored negative comments against islanders who are black Hmm and I have myself criticised some black islanders like Montel and Ty.

I only jumped in today because the harsh label of aggressive was used.

Faye is not an islander. Jess and Sammy may have been slated, but were they called aggressive?

I haven't brought up colourism - think you're confusing me with someone else.

I've already explained what it is about. And in my last post I said that as long as other islanders like Jess, Sammy, Leah, Ty, Scott etc are labelled as aggressive or very aggressive in some cases, then that would be fine with me.

Apologies if I've mixed you up with another poster re colourism.

Honestly, I've no idea why the word aggressive is such an issue.

Well between a few of you, you've absolutely ruined this thread with your arguments and agenda so I'm out. Enjoy fighting amongst yourselves.

PicturesOfDogs · 10/07/2023 08:20

i think it’s weird they even picked Scott’s video… Why, if you’re so over him/it?

weird behaviour

Good point.

Perhaps his reaction wasn't what Catherine wanted when she rocked up with Elom. She thought Scott would fight for her, when he basically just said it was done he wounded her ego.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have got so annoyed and dragged into it. I've ignore most things re race but I just got overly frustrated last night.

I didn't mean to derail the thread and won't engage in anything similar moving forward!

Honestly, just step over it. Don't let someone with a bee in their bonnet ruin a thread you enjoy.

I'm hoping we can somehow get to the bottom of why Scott is the villain according to Catherine and her sychophants, when it's clear that to the vast majority of viewers she is the one being unreasonable. I really hope she gets voted out next dumping.

LindorDoubleChoc · 10/07/2023 09:04

On another subject Leah is done with Montel now do you think? I've gone right off her too the way she blatantly lied to Scott's face.

Atm the only islanders I've got any time for are Whitney, Locham, Zach and Amber. I thought Ty was quite mature last night when he said he wasn't going to let Ella's video set him off again.

As I said before, I'm heartily sick of everyone especially the editorial team trying to make a big thing out of Jess and Sammy. If he fancied her they would have got together weeks ago! She absolutely needs to let it go now and the girls should stop encouraging her.

I imagine it was in the hope he'd got up to something so they'd have another stick to beat him with. When that didn't work, it wasn't because he was loyal to Catherine, it was because he'd struck out with all the girls, so that was then used against him instead.

I do wonder if he's being edited favourably because he really doesn't seem popular. From how he comes across from what we're being shown, I'd be all over that so I'm surprised none of the girls seem to like him.

Same. Got irked at unjustified implications.

Yes, i don't know why they chose Scott's video, it was a waste given that they're finished. Altho it'll make Catherine feel justified in having another go at him. I'd still like to know why the entire villa has questioned his actions, though.

littlehattie · 10/07/2023 09:32

@LindorDoubleChoc I do think Leah is done with Montel but I think she was before movie night as she said in the beach but that things aren't the same and she seems underwhelmed by him and the whole situation.

I really thought she was a lovely girl but yesterday in movie night we saw a completely different and not nice side to her. Also, PPs have said it was bizarre she was more annoyed at Scott than Montel and honestly, it is. Why are you not clarifying what he was doing in bed with Tink before shouting at Scott?!

Hopefully it’s something we can work out when Scott does eventually get booted out or leave the villa in after sun

I agree! Of all the videos they could've picked for shock value, they chose one with a person who'd been loyal and was dumped for his trouble. I suspect Catherine wanted justification for her leaving him single and was hoping he'd implicate himself and when it didn't she turned nasty, as did Leah. He shouldn't have shouted back but that was a really low dig.

I agree with this. I have really gone off Leah now. Spiteful little mean girl she is. Found her feet and found her voice now, and she's a nasty little gobshite.

I feel SO sorry for Scott. Leah saying 'he tried it on with all the girls and nobody wanted him' was such a brutal, cruel, and vindictive thing to say. And yeah Scott DID react badly to it and have a bit of a go at her, but it was well deserved. Then she came at him later and said 'how DARE you speak to me like that?' Who the fuck does Leah think she is? Confused Scott apologised (but she didn't!) and she still went off into the 'diary room' and slagged him off (after he had apologised!!!)

Absolutely loathe Catherine now. Loved her for the first few weeks and now loathe her. Since Casa Amor she has shown her true colours. Another spiteful little mean girl who thinks she can say - and do what she likes.

Molly is as boring as fuck. And her and Zach are a non-entity.

I feel sorry for Jess and think she deserves better than that twat Sammy.

Tyrique still turns my stomach. Little stubby creep he is. How anyone can fancy him just eludes me. The way he sucks his bottom lip in (which includes a bunch of hair that's growing on it,) just makes me retch! Confused Also cannot stand boring 'face-like-a-slapped-arse' Ella. I want to smash the TV screen in every time her fucking mug is on it.

SO many contestants this year just piss me off that it's actually putting me off watching it, and I will be glad when it's finished now. Yeah yeah I KNOW I can stop watching at any time before anyone says, but I am 5-6 weeks in now, (of 8 weeks,) so it's daft to stop now.

Amber seems sweet, but too young IMO.

I do like Whitney. She seems like a salt of the earth type lass.

Ouzy is gorgeous, and Ella must have shit in her eyes to have picked Tyrique over him.

Mitch and whatshername (the new girl - blonde) bore me a bit...

Montel is boring, and average looking.

I don't care massively about any of them to be honest, and I honestly don't give a shit who wins.

Number4224 · 10/07/2023 10:59

My twopence worth

catherine - awful, hope she gets kicked out asap
Elom - boring
sammy - another awful one, hope he gets kicked out soon too
jess - needs to find some self respect
mitch - he makes me laugh even if he is cringy
abi - seems ok from what I’ve seen so far
zach - doesn’t really add anything to the villa since recoupling with molly
molly - shouldn’t have come back
Whitney - absolutely love her
lochlan - seems nice enough, hope he’s with Whitney for the right reasons and not just because he knows how much she’s loved by the public
leah - liked her until last night
montel - don’t care either way about him
tyrique - has grown on me although I didn’t like how he egged on the boys in CA
ella - bit moany but don’t mind her
amber - too young to be in there really
scott - hope someone lovely comes in for him, just want to give him a hug
kady - loved her in season 2 but not feeling her this time
ouzi - gorgeous to look at, hope he comes out of his shell a bit.

Bet there’ll be a few leaving soon n the next couple of days, far too many in there at the moment.

mrstea301 · 10/07/2023 11:03

I really hope Jess raises her bar and moves on from Sammy, how many times does he have to let him make a joke out of her? Even now he's asking for "just a bit more time, to see if my head will turn" she should be saying NO! He can't make a decision so she should and take herself off the table as an option.

I do think it was horrible what the girls were saying to Scott, if the sexes had been reversed there would have been utter carnage. And it also seems to imply that he's been a mug for staying loyal when he liked cat.

Can't believe Ella has gone back to Ty, if she thinks it's been bad there, it'll be a million times worse outside!

mrstea301 · 10/07/2023 11:04

Also, I'm soooo bored with Molly and Zach, hope they're voted out sharpish. It's like a lack of content when they're on.
