Elmas been poorly behaved in here but i was on her side against Curtis - had to rewatch on twitter because tbh I barely focus during the episodes 😭

Your man arguing with a woman on your behalf will never not be weird, no matter how strong the woman is

Whatever the thoughts of the whole Elma / Sammy/ Ekin thing, I found it uncomfortable viewing Curtis pulling Elma like that. I'm glad she stood her ground as to me it seemed intimidating of him.

Agree

It’s like they all realise that to be in with a chance of winning they need to stay in their couple without too much drama, which makes it boring imo.

I think they are all there to win not find love, presumably for money and fame (eg like Molly and Tom) and I would guess that none are completely genuine.

That’s also why there’s minimal snogging and flirting outside of couples.

Obviously the producers want Luca and Grace to win otherwise she’d have been dumped when single. And they timed Grace to come in when they announced Luca as favourite boy making her gravitate to him.

It would be interesting to see how much manipulation and direction is done by the producers, eg do they tell them who to snog, tell them who to talk to and what to say. It always feels so fake and set up and I wish it was more natural like the older series. Grace especially is very controlled and contained and feels very inauthentic.

Curtis gives me such an ick and I find his fake nicey nicey way of talking so disrespectful and patronising! But Elma was on one during that "conversation". She went from 0 to 100 so quick, shouting and fucking and blinding, it was really uncalled for. The way she speaks to people "don't talk over me" as she repeatedly talks over people is so rude and childish! The way she treated that scenario with Sammy hugging Ekin was sooooo rude, and if I'm honest I think he wasn't impressed at all by her actions. Her talk style hasn't developed since she was a teenager. I've got no time for her.

I didn't like Curtis initiating the convo, and i would've been unhappy at him involving himself in women's business - but I'm defo no elma fan because she just conducts herself so disrespectfully

I don’t agree with Grace not been authentic she was in tears over Lucca and distressed when he kissed Sammy . You can’t fake stuff like that if you don’t like someone.

CagneyNYPD1 · 08/02/2025 17:18

I did think it was unnecessary for Curtis to pull Elma as Ekin is more than capable of defending herself. But I do think he was genuine in wanting to support Ekin.

Elma had every right to stand her ground. But her approach to conflict is a bit immature. My dd aged 14 says that Elma reminds her of a big sister version of the popular/mean girls at her school.

There's absolutely nothing genuine about Curtis 🤣 other than his self love

Perhaps she was upset as she saw her chance of winning disappearing

Are you all ready for the final week? I won't be watching 😭 I've given up! But I'll still watch the clips on social media and follow the hashtag, nosy as I am

Elma does not mean well.

This is dull so far.. the most interesting thing has been Catherines weird denim 'top' being held up (just) by a belt over her boobs.

Pjsallday · 09/02/2025 22:15

Was elma was not when they played that last game?

Teaformenow · 09/02/2025 22:31

Sammy said she was ill so went inside. I could see the old mean Luca during that game.

Heidi2018 · 10/02/2025 03:50

Wonder if Elma being ill was a stunt from the producers seeing as she gets quite hot headed quite quickly. She would've lost the plot if anyone voted for them for anything. Saving themselves a few ofcom complaints!

If that is the case, it's very unfair given there was a vote straight afterwards!

They weren't excluded from being picked for votes during the game though, just she didn't take part in the game.

Elma not coming across well at all, shame as I liked her in towie

Wonder what towie Jodie thinks watching this

FreeRider · 10/02/2025 16:56

Personally I think ITV would be absolutely insane to bother with another series of All Stars after this one...it has been very very dull, the so-called 'bombshells' have all been damp squibs and the rest have been boring and predictable.

I don't believe any of them are genuinely in there for 'love', more like a last desperate attempt to have another 15 minutes of fame. I know during that last game a point was made to Ronnie and Harriet that they were only in last year so it was inevitable that they would be back in a couple...I know they didn't like it, but I think it has a note of truth in it.

Ekin Su is obviously acting (badly) and so is Curtis. Elma is horrendous, Luca hasn't changed one iota and is so obviously bored stiff with Grace (and vice versa). The rest...meh.

I think it's pretty obvious that Tina and 'Chuggs' (what a fucking stupid name) will be voted out tonight. Tina is avoiding any physical contact with him like the fucking plague...and who can blame her?

Realistically I can't see them doing another series of it. The people left to possibly go in are either too famous to bother with this shit, in a settled relationship/grown up/matured, or else aren't well known enough to grab our interest. It'd be a massive flop. They need to stop being greedy and abandon trying to get 2 seasons per year.
