I couldn’t see a new thread so thought I’d make one. Yup another boring one… Anyway looks like Konnor has bagged himself a Lollipop though I’m surprised the candyman didn’t get in there first (ugh). We haven’t had half as many games, the hideaway is perma open and no one’s going in there. No real discussions or code words around how the relationships are going on the chemistry front. What’s going on?

I keep on saying it, Joey has ADHD. I know so many people who have it and have a lot of similarities. It's not an excuse, but I genuinely think there is a problem with Joey. Couple that with losing this mother at a young age through suicide, then you get one angry unstable, child like man. He is unable to articulate himself, he is unable go understand basic word which shows there could be a learning disability as well. Lots going on and a a basis for car crash TV.

I have a feeling his popularity after the show will be rock bottom 😬 He shouldn't have gone in.

Jessie RUN.

I agree too. Also along with the fact he has been in the public eye from a young age too; along with everything else you have mentioned.

Arconialiving · 21/07/2024 22:17

If that is the case (which I couldn't comment on) he should get a proper diagnosis and some sort of help, rather than go around being a vile mysoginistic man.

Mimii's unflappable nature - love it!

And wherever they end up, I love that Josh isn't giving Sean and Joey any space in their relationship.

Even Jessy is now fed up of the twerp.

Very well put - totally agree.

No. He was defending himself.

He was shit-stirring. He's done it the whole way along. His true colours are shining through. He is not a nice person.

My bigger issue with Joey is how he's obsessed with the idea that grace still likes him, and bangs on and on and on about it; to me it looks like she couldn't be less interested in him. He tries to humiliate and diss her at every opportunity. If she DID have feelings for him that would be So unkind, as if it it just looks creepy and batshit.

And also how he definitely came on to Lola and then tried to deny he had done so

His behaviour towards Grace has been disgusting. And I can't imagine how difficult it must be for Jessy to sit through all those rants.

At this point Mimi could snog Ayo in front of Josh and Josh would still be ok with it.

Josh is not ok with it. He knows fully well that Mimi is still into Ayo.
He is just biding his time as the end is near.
He is dropping her once they get to Gatwick airport

HelpMebeok · 21/07/2024 22:33

BlackStrayCat · 21/07/2024 22:08

But it was his childlike brain.

I am finding this sad.

He was loyal to Mimi.

If he was loyal to mimi he wouldn't have brought it up at all

i loved the drama tonight! I really can’t stand Sean and haven’t done from near the start, he had a nerve to tell Matilda to shut up as well when she was trying to shut him up for making an arse of himself for babbling on about Ayo & co.

I have mixed feelings on the terrace situation. I suspect Mimi didn’t know what she wanted from that chat and would have just done with the flow. I actually believe that in Joeys mind, she had called it a secret mission hence he hadn’t initially told anyone.

I’m ND and assuming Joey is too, I can’t quite describe it but it’s the way he comes to rather interesting conclusions and sees connections between things that might not be there. I think he needs to stop and properly think about things before he speaks his mind. I wonder if he’s as blunt as that normally or it’s just reality tv?

Didn't like the way Jessy spoke to Josh and she defended Joey too much tonight , but interesting to see she loses it with him next episode.

Ayo was very tactful and respectful, he didn’t embarrass Mimi any more than she has done lol Jessica is very good natured!

LOVE Ciaran! Always have ever since he told Sean getting rid of Omar to make sure he got Matilda wasn’t the morally correct decision.
I think he’s one of the most sane and principled people in the villa. He’s the polar opposite of Joey who has lived his whole adult life on multiple reality tv shows which must’ve effected him.

Grazianoscubanheel · 21/07/2024 22:45

Did we know Sean was a former rugby player? May explain how when his mask slipped he's suddenly become a loudmouth idiot?!

Picoloangel · 21/07/2024 22:47

I do believe Mimi wanted to see Ayo for some romantic reason. However, she was really encouraged by the others to do that because some of them felt there was still something there. Ayo was actively encouraging her right up until that point - classic wanted her until she wanted him. He was flirting with her, staring at her etc.

Whatever it was I think Mimi now genuinely is over it. Ayo was not innocent in this he just shut it down at the last minute so suddenly it’s all Mimis fault. I suspect she’s just very embarrassed now by the whole thing. Im not sure that she’s into Josh but that’s a different issue. He does seem quite intense and possibly a bit controlling.

I really don’t warm to Jayo - all the stupid finger clicking is very irritating and she’s painfully desperate. That said, I hope she can find someone much better outside the Villa

On that issue alone Joey was not in the wrong but - ADHD or not - his behaviour has been misogynistic and vile. He’s clearly not over Grace and never misses an opportunity to put her down. It’s borderline abusive. He seems to hate to want to see he happy and that’s worrying. Whatever he has been through doesn’t not justify his behaviour boards the women in the Villa.

What is it with Sean and Mimi?! I’m completely baffled by his apparent obsession with Mimi. He mentions her every time he speaks.

Agreed

i I find it interesting to hear the different pov on him though

Looking at Twitter there is not a lot of love for him.. at all

I didn’t realise that either - lot of rugby boys in this series - but it makes sense!

Yeah I believe his mask slipped tonight when he told Matilda to shut up - that was more of his true self, not the sweet young boy persona he puts on.

I get the impression he’s got very much of a nasty streak. Him and Joey would like to rule the roost in the villa, but the other islanders aren’t having it which I love.

If Matilda had any sense she'd dump Sean now and go out with a bang! She'd probably gain loads of popularity and it would work well for her when the show is over.

Jessy too but I think there's even less chance of her dumping Joey.

Littleguggi · 21/07/2024 23:01

So much drama tonight! They all looked like they were on something, every action and word was intensified x100. Except for Matilda who is usually a loud mouth, was actually quiet for once.

Never thought I would say this but actually rooting for Jessica and Ayo now. I love Ciaran too, Ciaran and Jessica would be worthy winners.

Dweetfidilove · 21/07/2024 23:01

@Picoloangel @Sweetenuf2

I agree with so much of that

fairydust11 · 21/07/2024 23:11

PenguinIce · 21/07/2024 22:05

Joey has been a twat many times, especially how he has treated grace. I don’t think he is at fault for the whole Mimi thing though and not sure how Mimi has come out of that so well!

Completely agree.
It was good viewing tonight, I’m not sure how anyone can think Mimi secretly asking Joey to get Ayo on the terrace wasn’t a secret mission, she doesn’t have to specifically say for it to be so, it WAS a secret mission, she didn’t want anyone else to know.

Joey is a lot of things, but he’s right on this, Mimi wanted him up there for one thing only. I’m surprised how Mimi has managed to style it out. At this point Josh is just going with the flow until the final.

Mummyoflittledragon · 21/07/2024 23:15

I think Mimi would have gone back to Ayo in a shot if he’d have been willing to have her. Joey was right on this occasion imo. But the delivery was appalling and no one is going to listen to him because he becomes obsessed with his pov and can’t let anything go. I agree @Whyisthisallhappening he’s easy on the eye but he’d make a very difficult boyfriend. His treatment of Grace is terrible.

The cynic in me would say Mimi, a mental health nurse, knows Joey could be manipulated and disbelieved and this is why she chose him.

Dislike Joey, but do not blame Joey.
Hate Sean. He wants to win. Slimy git.

BlackStrayCat · 21/07/2024 23:26

When people see this played back they will see what happened.
Ayo has told Jess.

I think she chose him because he is the dominant male in the house and they supposedly got on well.

BlackStrayCat · 21/07/2024 23:34

I am ridiculously upset that I appear to have got personalities wrong on LI!

I think Joey is vulnerable in himself. I honestly see this as bullying. (Not in a woke way)

BlackStrayCat · 21/07/2024 23:35

I want Ayo and Jess to win.

LessonsinChemistryandLove · 21/07/2024 23:39

I’m disappointed in how badly Joey comes across on this, maybe I’ve matured but I liked him in Towie. ADHD or not, he has been awful to Grace and others throughout. The Mimi situation, I too think it was a secret mission tbf but he just acts like a horrible bully so ruins his point.

Seam is a slimy creep. He’s obsession with Mimi is so weird. Everything about him makes my skin crawl, I wish he would leave tbh.

Really gone off Jess tonight, she was weirdly aggressive with Josh too. If she doesn’t leave Joey soon, it says a lot about her character imo.

I can’t believe Mimi wiggled her way out of that. I think the embarrassment is shame enough for now. Can’t see Josh sticking with her long term.

Ayo and Jess in the finals for me, I know they won’t win and it will be Nicole and Cieran but they should at least make final 3. However, as its public vote, it will be Josh, Sean and Cieran unfortunately!
