Did someone make a new thread already? I’ll get this deleted if so but I couldn’t see one!

I voted for Abi and Scott simply because I don't like anyone else .
I feel the others are trying to split Abi and Scott as they sense Scott is popular due to previous votes. I'd love to see the others faces if they win.
I agree Zach is dying to get out. Molly thinks they've had a great love story in there. Ty and Ella and Jess and Sammy think they will win based on their "journey". Mitch will be out at next vote and Ella B will dump him asap

HelpMebeok · 26/07/2023 07:37

I don't mind Whitney and Lochan but do think she can give it but not take it and I'm disappointed that she's trying to derail Scott and Abi. I also think she sent home Kadi/Ouzi as they were bigger competition than Mitch

FiloPasty · 26/07/2023 07:47

I voted Whitney & Lochan. Haven’t seen much of this week so am just going from my gut.
Ty is a prick, there was something quite cute about Toby his friend from the earlier series, he needed to learn how to be a boyfriend. Ty needs to learn how not to be a bullying misogynistic narcissist. I still hate his short neck he’s like a little bull.

Definitely think this has been an interesting series. It’s normally such a snooze fest by now.

interesting comment about Mitch at school I can see him being a prize twat.

Thanks for the new thread

vjg13 · 26/07/2023 07:56

Mitch took his general unpleasantness to a whole new level in last night's episode. Ty's comment to Whitney was dreadful.

Soothingaftersun · 26/07/2023 08:15

Thanks for the new thread

The result tonight should be interesting. I think Scott and Abi will be safe but I imagine the producers want them gone as they aren't a 'real' couple (although are any of them this year).

Didn't it used to be vote for your favorite couple not most compatible couple which changes the meaning. Not that anyone cares 😂

TheDutchHouse · 26/07/2023 08:30

The wording from Ty to Whitney can't just be brushed over .... I think if it was any other guy there other than Lochan he would of got both barrels back. Incredibly rude and nasty behaviour. Him and Ella deserve each other !

TheDutchHouse · 26/07/2023 08:32

As the plane touches down Zac will do a brilliant impression of Speedy Gonzales back to London leaving skid marks on the runway and Molly standing there looking like she's starring in a bad soap opera.

King cricket is going to have his bubble popped when he leaves. He thinks he's coming across as messy mitch, the lovable, cheeky gas boiler chappy, when in fact he's a nasty attention seeking mummy's boy who thinks he can do no wrong.

ThomasHardyPerennial · 26/07/2023 08:41

I don't know if it was just editing, but Abi was looking increasingly upset and I thought that spurred Scott on to call Mitch a knobhead. Scott noticed Abi was almost crying.

100%

Ty too thinks he’s king of the villa but he’s not come across well at all.

Siameasy · 26/07/2023 08:47

I felt like they’d been told to do all of this or at least to over react to everything. Some of the stuff was really trivial but the editing makes most of them look like a narcissist.

Jess and Sammy looking normal by comparison

Twonewcats · 26/07/2023 08:52

Mitch making a snide comment after every clip was weird. I wonder if any of the others kept constantly too, or if they edited it to seem like Mitch was building up to his bizareness.

Also, I get the impression there was alcohol involved last night. Some of their behaviour was grim.

Twonewcats · 26/07/2023 08:55

Ok, so Abi was vindicated last night, but (i think i missed it), did they show the part of the clip when Mitch said he and Ella wouldn't work on the outside?

Re Mitch at school - I don't dount it, altho we have to remember that the poster could be making the whole scenario up 😅

Finally, why is Ella B getting grief - did she do anything awful last night?

I loved how she shock-laughed when Mitch said he was forcing it and didn't want to kiss her. Hoping that's because she just didn't care, and can now use that as the reason to bin him.

gabbyaggy · 26/07/2023 08:56

I think most producers /editors are calculated manipulative people. The amount of chopping and editing is unbelievable. They're encouraging appalling behaviour by unstable or already nasty people. Deliberately choosing people with borderline personality disorders and narcs.

I still love this series though.

Theproofofthepudding · 26/07/2023 09:07

I accidentally clicked on the first series on catch-up this morning and the vibe was so much more natural and nothing like what we're getting now. Ty complaining about Lochan spilling beans to Whitney showed how immature he is. I think Scott is too mature for this gang and I do like Abi

100% someone I know worked on “don’t tell the bride” where the groom had to buy the wedding dress. They’d ask the girl what kind of dress they’d like then before the groom could shop, take every dress similar to the description off the shelves. Entertainment??

CherryCokeFanatic · 26/07/2023 09:10

thanks for thread

StandingHereLikePiffy · 26/07/2023 09:10

Whitney and Lochan are still the only couple where I "like" both of them so they got my vote.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Jess and Sammy (still can't see past his inane grin) might be my 2nd fav - They are coming over as quite normal now!

I don't mind Ella B - she came into the villa and has done the best she could with the limited material (Mitch) available. I thought she handled the award's stuff very sensibly and was good natured about it.

I agree with everything that's been said about Mitch.

Tyrique can get in the ses.

Netaporter · 26/07/2023 09:20

Thanks for the new thread @YoSof I’m out tonight so will miss the vote result…

I’m still uncomfortable with the recent editing tho and I do hope they are taking care of Abi. It seemed like a massive pile-on last night.

I think by now none of them can control their actual personalities. Mitch, Molly, The Ellas and Ty have clearly all been spoiled growing up and have never had to share, Scott cannot believe that he’s not being hero worshipped and how none of the laydeez are fainting at his feet, Whitney is basically Regina George (she’ll be wearing pink tomorrow night, mark my words as today is Wednesday 😉) and I literally do not understand anything Zach says (and I say this as someone who worked on an East End market stall in my youth and having to translate cockney rhyming is just exhausting 😂)

Jess for me to win. At least she owns her mistakes, seems like she’s had a great summer and has parents who are keeping it real.

Peanutbutteryday · 26/07/2023 09:44

Thanks for new thread! Catching up on last nights ep now while baby naps on me 😀

CellophaneFlower · 26/07/2023 09:51

Yeah, Mitch said to Abi something like "me and you would work on the outside but me and Ella B wouldn't". I think I actually cheered out loud 😳

He is just awful. I actually think he still has a thing for Abi as it's he who always brings up stuff, rather than her. If he was actually happy with Ella B, he'd leave it. He is delusional, let's not forget how hard it was for Molly to let him down gently at the start.

I like Abi and disagree the show is too much for her. Yes, she's a bit obsessive, but tons of young girls are at that age.

I don't mind Sanmy now. I didn't like him at the start, as found him slimy and couldn't understand the attraction, but I think he really has fallen for Jess now. So they can take the win imo.

MackenCheese · 26/07/2023 11:14

Thanks for the new thread. Placemarking for later !

Siameasy · 26/07/2023 11:44

Yeah Jess is probably the only girl who I think is decent now. To me she usually does the right thing. Whitney prob second.
Ella B has grown on me.
OG Ella is so reactive - ever heard of “don’t reward bad behaviour with attention”
