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

reappeared? Repeated, that should have said!

I think Mitch knows they're going next so is making it look like he agrees/wanted that to happen rather than having it forced upon him. Plus they'll both want to cop off with other people on the outside so no point playing the happy couple much longer, especially not to the extent that Ella B was last night saying the ultra soppy stuff that I don't buy and nor did Mitch. They're both great LI contestants for the drama, but not really truly loved up - and tbh I'm glad that Mitch is still at least making things happen in there. That awards ceremony was so tedious for going over very old ground that's been done to death already and most of it was very minor in the first place. Now that Abi and Scott are gone, there's zero story unless Mitch makes some waves.

So there'll be a bit of friction over that then they'll get voted least compatible, which is fair enough but also don't think most of the others are that compatible. Feels like Ty and Ella are anointed for the win and will get it thanks to the show's interference in knocking Whitney off her throne. I still wish Jess could win just for herself, but Sammy is bored stiff without new bombshells to flirt with, and Zach has been bored for weeks. He might well say that he got back with Molly as soon as he had the chance, but that's not the same as having any choice in the matter. He was stitched up and can't wait to get out.

@TerfTalking

I literally cannot believe I liked and felt sorry for Mitch in the early weeks. He’s awful, unfunny, narcissistic, love bombing, bullying, cringey and embarrassing snake. 🐍

Nailed it. He is vile. I pity ANY woman in a relationship with him, and also cannot believe how much I loved Mitch at the start, compared to how much I detest him now.

Conversely I really like Ella B now, and think the whole 'Stifler's mom,' 'come to me baby I'm yours,' and 'I always get what I want' shit (when she came in) was an act. Her mask fell off and the real Ella B is actually quite sweet. Deserves better than fucking MITCH. Angry Ella B needs to bin him off as soon as she leaves the villa. I would be horrified if that was my daughter in there with Mitch.

Also feel sorry for Abi and wish her the best. She was a bit needy and clingy, but there is a man out there for her, who will give her the love she needs and wants and deserves... Scott was not attracted to her at any point, and it's proper shitty how he strung her along.

As for Molly and Zach, and Jess and Sammy... Both men look bored. I think they like their lasses, but don't fancy them, and won't give them the time of day out of the villa. I love Jess so much and would love her as a friend, she seems awesome. Molly is very stage school and acts a lot. OK girl though. Nothing to dislike about her really. She's just a bit cringe.

Still don't like OG Ella and Tyrique, but I reckon they will be there til the end and come at least second or third.

Lochan and Whitney, as with Ella and Tyrique. I don't rate them as a couple, and I don't like HER any more, but I think they will be there til the end too, and will come in the top 3 or 4.

adriftabroad · 27/07/2023 12:26

I like Lochan and Jess as people. They are lovely.
No couples. They are all horrible.
Whitney has done well, but she is also "off" IMO.

adriftabroad · 27/07/2023 12:29

PS @Oatycookies

Siameasy · 27/07/2023 12:47

If Mitch goes then it will be so dull. I agree that Sammy and Zach are so bored. Same I see more with an Ella B type and Molly is not right for Zach. I do think that Ty fancies Ella whereas I’m not even sure Zach fancies Molly

Justashley · 27/07/2023 12:50

I don't find mitch entertaining personally, I do wonder if without people like him in there whether the dynamic would be different.if

Choux · 27/07/2023 12:59

They will be asked to vote for their least compatible couple right? Watch couples with an eye on the prize try to come up with justifications to vote for a stronger couple than Mitch and Ella and get them out before the final.

Will Whitney try to get Tyrique and Ella out after all their dramas? Will someone try to get rid of Jess by claiming Sammy not that into her? Or will producers block any hint of tactical voting?

adriftabroad · 27/07/2023 13:02

@Choux Whitney will most definitelty try to get Ella and Ty out.

vjg13 · 27/07/2023 13:10

Sammy is so shifty! His eyes dart everywhere but at Jess when he's talking to her!

I think Mitch realises he'll be in the next couple votes off so wants to make it Ella B's "fault" when they are voted for. The faces on the lads when he made the fake comment was absolutely WTF.

In that case, if the show's about going on a journey, Mitch would be the winner! Joking, obviously, and can't argue with that objectively except that I do find him an entertaining element and think it'd be even duller without his madness.

Pepsimaxcherry91 · 27/07/2023 13:34

Apparently Catherine has made a Tik Tok saying she wants to catch up with Scott now he has left the villa

rockingbird · 27/07/2023 13:36

Ah oh.. love that 😆 Mitch you are toast

Pepsimaxcherry91 · 27/07/2023 13:36

Just seen it and she is doing a Q+A and somebody asks will there be a Cat and Scott reunion and she says ‘a catch up is needed’

honeyrider · 27/07/2023 13:40

I hope Scott doesn't fall for Catherine's game playing, he's too decent for the liked of her.

honeyrider · 27/07/2023 13:42

Pinkdelight3 · 27/07/2023 13:47

I don't think Scott is really bothered about Catherine. He painted himself into a corner before Casa and then had to hold out for her to save face, but if he wasn't besotted before, he sure as hell went off her when she binned him for Elom. He seemed very happy to flirt with Abi after with no mention of Catherine, even though he also wasn't bothered about Abi in the end. I don't think he was that attracted to anyone in there so have no fears for him falling for Catherine now. She's just dragging out her story, trying to stay relevant.

vjg13 · 27/07/2023 13:50

First Look looks good! Hope it isn't a big let down.

jay55 · 27/07/2023 14:20

First look annoyed me. Bored of it being all about Mitch.

Twonewcats · 27/07/2023 14:24

If you were in there and REALLY fancied someone, how gutting would it be if you left and hated their dress sense and it gave you the ick 🤣🤣

They're supplied their evening clothes so we don't really see their true "look".
Elom imo looked fab on Aftersun with his red sweatshirt, and Ouzy in his buckles was 🔥
But Mehdi a few weeks ago had on a shirt with a jumper draped over his shoulders

FiloPasty · 27/07/2023 14:25

Medhi is French that’s how they dress 🙄

Yeah.....I've never seen any I know dressed like that.
Which wasn't even the point.

MomentOfCalm · 27/07/2023 15:14

Agreed I am tired of the Mitch show, especially as he is so despicable.

Normal attire. Some French men also carry man bags. I cannot imagine how this could be off putting.

Why on earth would a man carrying a (man) bag be offputting? Grin
