Is anyone else watching? It’s so much better than the UK version. I really hope others are watching as want to discuss so much! πŸ™πŸ€ž

I am! there's far less to cringe at, and am enjoying seeing Aaron from Traitors sulking at having his nose put out of joint! I like the snake wrangler and his girl, am hoping he doesn't get his head turned :(

Rollergirl11 · 10/08/2024 19:10

I heard Aaron say he was on a UK program but didn’t hear what it was.

Yes I like Rob (snake wrangler) too. He seems mature and emotionally intelligent. Although just watched an episode where he told his girl (is it Leah?) that he was mad she kissed a guy in the challenge. She heard it too and when she queried it he denied saying it and said he wasn’t mad, which was a bit weird.

I hope he doesn't let her down, he made a big enough deal about wanting her. When is it next on? I'm used to the UK schedule, am all out of kilter with this one.

GandTeaForMe · 11/08/2024 11:28

Yes - I’m so glad to have a thread - thanks for starting this as I was going to do the same myself hence me coming looking for one today!

I’ve been saying on LI threads on here for the last two years that LI USA is so much better, with (slightly) more normal looking folk who actually do seem to be in it for some of the right reasons.

i love that we’re seeing fake tan marks, real bodies of various shapes, sizes and colours, deodorant stains etc. it just all seems a bit less polished than the UK version, which frankly is a bit intimidating.

love Rob and Leah so far but I liked him last year in casa amor too, so I’m glad he’s back. Thought it was funny seeing JaNa’s boob job scars when she had her hands cuffed above her head and there was nothing she could do to hide it. πŸ˜†

BellaPommefritio · 11/08/2024 11:41

Lol I thought that re the scars, and never mind deodorant marks, there were some deodorant clinkers in one pit I had the misfortune to see!

Rollergirl11 · 11/08/2024 12:46

Kayla facially really reminds me of Kimberly Wyatt.

I think there’s the potential for more drama as they seem less likely to stick with their couplings out of duty. So by extension maybe less game playing going on? They seem to be in it for the ride rather than to win or to get that Pretty little thing deal? Maybe it isn’t seen as much of a career move in the US?

Thought it was hilarious that Hannah spent a day trying to make it up to Kendall and then didn’t choose to kiss him in the challenge. She just doesn’t give a fuck. πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘

I've just looked in my scheduled recordings and it seems to be Mon - Fri that it's televised. I don't know if there is an after show, or unseen bits (hope not as Iain Sterling does my head in on unseen bits 🀯)

I've never watched the US version before but I'm enjoying it. The only name I can remember so far is Kornell because I felt sorry for him when he got side lined by Serena (I think?)

They seem very attached and emotional (crying) very early on about someone they've only just met compared to the UK version. I think it was Leah crying after one of the bombshells kissed the guy she was coupled up with.

Inlimboin50s · 11/08/2024 21:47

I'm also loving it.
May be not Robs dungarees at first but they grew on me.
It certainly doesn't seem as scripted as the UK one and theres a lot more messing around and laughing.

LostaraYil · 12/08/2024 09:46

Started watching it, the conversations seem a lot less staged and repetitive and I like that they actually show everyone working out together and doing more normal stuff rather than just 'chats'.

Virgo1958 · 12/08/2024 12:39

I was going to mention the dungarees, they would have given me the ick.

TruthThatsHardAsSteel · 12/08/2024 13:00

Ohhhhh I've been saving these up. I always find a new season difficult and get everyone mixed up for ages ☺️

TruthThatsHardAsSteel · 12/08/2024 19:18

Ok I'm on episode 1. Crikey everyone is so.... Ummm.... Revved up? A few of The women's outfits look very similar to me. Look forward to getting past the - wait, who is that - stage.

BellaPommefritio · 13/08/2024 12:12

Just watching last night's... of course Andrea was supportive, Rob, she was happy the decision was going in her favour. Why can't anyone just jump ship bravely instead of hedging bets, would save a lot of upset!

Rollergirl11 · 13/08/2024 13:08

I do think he has been fairly upfront with Leah though @BellaPommefritio. He did tell her he was interested in Andrea. But seeing tonight’s clip it looks like there is indeed a lot of upset coming this way.

BellaPommefritio · 13/08/2024 13:43

Just irks me when the original girl never gets a firm no, just enough platitudes to keep them hopeful!

Rollergirl11 · 13/08/2024 20:01

WTF Rob! Is he just an actor? Like has he played the entire audience as well as Leah? I’m so confused right now.

Rollergirl11 · 13/08/2024 20:14

He’s just totally switched it and made himself the victim. I actually think he might be a sociopath! πŸ€ͺ😱

Such an attention seeking twat hiding in the pool waiting for people to feel sorry for him. Totally gaslighting Leah!

Rollergirl11 · 13/08/2024 23:07

That was honestly so unsettling to watch. Leah’s utter confusion was palpable. When he went off and the camera focused on him crying he was totally acting. Yeah and the pool thing; what a fucking weirdo. I thought it was a bit weird the other night when he said about her being mad at him and then straight up denied saying it in the next breath. I put it down to a misunderstanding even though I heard it. But he’s clearly a gaslighting prick.

Rob is a strange one isn't he. I started off liking him, his laid back vibe. Also wondering if he is touch sociopathic. How he managed to transform his jumping ship into being the victim within one conversation but without any lucid explanation. Veering from being so sad he has to hurt anyone to 'she clearly doesn't care' to hiding in what looked like the pool filtering system.

Off his rocker.

AcrosstheKenyanGrasslands · 14/08/2024 07:19

Apparently Leah is super wealthy, like living amongst the likes of the Kardashian's. I like her though, she has been far too understanding and accepting of Rob's BS.

2Old2Tango · 14/08/2024 07:30

Hannah's make up is irritating me. She puts it on so thick, even during the day time. I think having ultra HD TVs doesn't help, as you can clearly see how the heat and humidity is affecting it. Hannah seems to be a nice looking woman without all the make up, so maybe it's a confidence thing. Her poor eyelashes didn't fare well after the kissing in the waterfall part of the challenge.

I like Leah best so far.

AcrosstheKenyanGrasslands · 14/08/2024 08:35

I know poor Hannah looks like she has been embalmed - she looks so much better without it all. I think she will be exiting relatively early.

LostaraYil · 14/08/2024 08:47

I liked Rob, except for his weird dungarees and the boxers and boots combo. He and Leah seemed really strong as well, but she's probably better off without him. Agree about Hannah, she looks so much better without all the make up. The lashes make it look like her eyes can't actually open.
