Same as the winter LI thread, please expect tabloid and social media spoilers xx

Helena is one rude girl!

Im curious if when whoever said they don't miss their phone etc. If that was actually a natural chat ?
It's the re coupling that's the worst bit for me. These 10/ 15 mins bit should be used to show the viewers what's going on in there. Some general fun chat like you say. Flirty behaviour that's organic.
Feels like every other day they do this.

I really don’t warm to Helena but I think that she and Harry deserve each other.

Okay thanks. It's been very Shakira heavy.

They should wrestle for it.

Did anything happen after the boys said they ain’t leaving? The channel just stopped working!

Nah. (Re wrestling!) Joke competition …

I thought they left it on a cliffhanger, just edited it badly..but I was also online shoe shopping so could be wrong!

I feel like Harry was gutted Shakeira wasn't bothered about him and ending things.
She is amazing, I love her! She definitely deserves more than Ben though... the guys so far just aren't doing it for me!

It’s so dull this year can’t say I like any of them tbh. Would love to see them do a series with older people now that would be more interesting than hearing the same boring chats they have every flamin year !

It’s a shame that the producers seem determined year on year to push this boring ‘can I pull you for a chat’ stuff when audiences repeatedly say they want to see the natural stuff and see their personalities etc. They do have normal convos as that’s what the Saturday show is full of, but for whatever reason those chats aren’t deemed midweek show worthy even though the other stuff is boring AF.

So far finding none of the guys attractive. The new one with the big beard would look 100 times better if he shaved it off. Right now it makes him look like a divorced 48yo cultist preacher.

I agree that Harry thought his flirting with Helena would bother Shakira. Helena (?) is awful and Harry is just proving to Shakira that he can’t be trusted. Helena is like the girl in the office that everyone has slept with but no one wants a relationship with.

Shakira needs a bombshell worthy of her attention. Ben’s roadman vibe is really off putting and he’s like a teen who has first started dating. She’s needs a man.

The 2 bombshell men are underwhelming. I don’t know their names but the one who is targeting Megan (the one who looks like Mila Kunis) is soooo dull.

On the subject of celebrity lookalikes, Tommy is a dead ringer for a young Andy Garcia. I don’t think he’ll keep Megan’s attention. She’s stunning and I think will want someone a bit more grown up.

I agree with others that the other Megan could be tipped over the edge quite easily. She reminds me of Shaughna from a few years back.

How on earth will Blue and the one whose name I can’t recall resolve their - which one of us is going situation? Toss a coin?

I don't see that at all. I mean, I warm far more to Shakira than Helena but Helena has only had eyes for Harry and Shakira has dangled about three of the men, including snogging them hasn't she?

I am really enjoying the low-drama, light-heartedness of it all so far. I join the chorus of people wanting more BB-style editing, more of the friendships and everyday interactions.

Just caught up.

Shakira is a one isn't she? Moving mad! Snogged Harry, then Blu and then coupled with Ben. Gotta say if that was one of the boys snogging around like that they would be crucified on here and called a player. But when Shakira does it everyone thinks its fab. 🙄

I do like her though, and she is entitled to find connections.

I love the lightheartedness of it all so far though, and love that people are exploring their connections and no-one is going over the top with possessive dramatic reactions.

Harry and Dejon laughing about Shakira snogging Blu in the Hideaway was great. No drama, just laughing.

Shakira not being mad at Helena either and everyone just getting on with things is refreshing.

I like everyone so far. Nice group. Not 100% sure about Toni yet though.

Wondering how Blu and Shea will decide who goes home!! Do we have a female bombshell coming in who will have to decide for them?? 🤔

Three female bombshells coming in.

No idea how the guys will settle who stays.

It’s like the bloody shakira show!

I'm finding it very boring this year. None of the guys are what I would call good looking and it's all a bit samey. I'd like to see them change the format a bit, maybe have some real looking women for starters, people with real personality and that can hold a real conversation. Just me?

I don't really mind that the male participants are not incredibly physically attractive because I'm twice their age (and the rest). First Look looks interesting, but am I right in thinking one of Blu and whatshisname had to leave before they could go to bed?

Huh? What was Harry's reason for saving Shae?

Blu very gracious there. I still like him. I love this chilled out series.

On one hand you are saying you want real looking women (whatever that even means) and on the other hand saying the lads aren't good looking. 😅 Any of the non-stereotypical-model type women they've brought in in the past have gotten so much abuse. Shaunghna over her legs, I read disgusting comments about Sophie from this series...

I'm actually not hating this season yet, the past 2 or 3 I've regretted watching but haven't got that yet. I'm sure it'll come in time though.

It makes me laugh that we all (myself VERY much included in this) get drawn in and then start saying we don’t like the unchanged format/staged chats/too young contestants/ low quality blokes/ over interference of producers/lack of natural chat…..personally I always end up watching some what begrudgingly, always thinking something amazing is going to happen (Casa Amore….no, never does). Then I get really fed up in the last 2 weeks at the complete fakeness and lack of real connections of it all and turn off before the final! Anyone else?!

On one hand you are saying you want real looking women (whatever that even means) and on the other hand saying the lads aren't good looking. 😅

I don't remember saying that.
