[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

OMG, can't they all just learn to get along?! 😩

Another few weeks of snoozeworthy arguing and attention-seeking to go - from these brats!

As you were folks!

I do feel sympathy for Helena as they've been together for so long and he has been her entire journey in the villa which has been completed wasted now! I know she went around things in the wrong way massively but pretty shit to sit watching him say all those things.

Harry is actually fucked in the head. He didn't show one ounce of sadness, remorse, or guilt for his actions in the villa. He doesn't see anything wrong with the conversations he's been having with all the girls and the numerous different lies he has told both the boys and girls in the villa. It's actually fucked.

I agree with the poster above who said Cach looked really uninterested in Toni during their conversation. Maybe he saw some things on the footage that he didn't like but he looked zoned out.

At this stage they should make them play a board game to pick the winner of the money coz how we meant to vote for any of this bunch 🤣🤣🤣

I cannot bear Toni and Yas, or the thought of either of them winning.

Blu - absolute twat, please take yourself home (again!).

Harry absolutely deserved losing both Shakira and Helena and being called out. However, I think that Dejon and some of the other boys have been involved and encouraged that sort of behaviour (remember Dejon eating crisps whilst they laughed together at Harry saying that Sharika was lapping it up that he would be different with her). Dejon is trying to come across all innocent now and on Helena's side when that isn't really the case is it. Conveniently, he's committed himself to this dedicated boyfriend 'role' now that it's so close to the end.

Producers will certainly step in if Harry is left isolated, that would be bad TV. Does seem plausible that Conor's and Harry's conversation might have been encouraged by the producers for collateral damage.

As much as Conor is growing on me, I don't want him to win with Megan (yet 😉, I know opinions things can change fast!).

Im still annoyed Megan and Blu back in. I need to 'process it'

Is she bright and interesting? 😬 I must fall asleep when she comes on then because I don’t think I’ve ever been interested. She just nods her head and says “yeah” to everyone. Bit harsh calling Meg stupid. I don’t think she takes genuine pleasure in anyone’s upset at all. She seems very isolated at times and she was right when she said nobody comforts her when she’s upset.

I think harry has some deep rooted issues. I wonder what he was like at school.

I don’t think Cach was uninterested, he just hasn’t had those issues so didn’t want to join in because he likes everyone pretty much but he does care about Toni and asked if she was okay. He says the right things and keeps calm. He’s smart and mature and they get each other, I don’t think there’s anything else going on. They certainly don’t need Blu sticking his beak into anything.

Ugh, why is Blu even in there? No one wants him. Reminds me of the sad episodes of Bullseye where no one will gamble in the final round so they have to bring back the crap darts players who went out first and stand no chance of winning the speedboat.

On the other hand, while she annoys me, I do wonder if Megan has her eye on nabbing the prize with Connor, by them both being the truth tellers in this Harry debacle - while Connor lays it out to Harry, Megan’s cast herself as the expert guiding the girls on it. I don’t want it to work but am onto her and would rather her than Meg in any event. Though would personally vote for Cach and Toni or Yaz and Jamie.

Despite the girl rifts and Meg’s fixation on her boyfriend and inability to comprehend anyone not loving her as she’s nice to everyone (no one is, c’mon Meg!), I do think the real issue is Dejon more than the girls. It’s outrageous how he blames the girls for his lack of popularity and how he hides everything in hopes of a win. Apparently he’s got some debt to pay off, according to some SM site I don’t use so can’t confirm, but it’d make sense.

There’s definitely strategies there whereas whatever you say about Shakira, she’s not arsed for winning. And Shakira and Helena were being okay with each other by the end and it was acknowledged they were happy for Meg. I hope they can regroup and it won’t be too angsty hereafter. It’s way better than the usual sappy stuff and toy babies, but I don’t want them harrowed by it.

Run a mile Cach

Meg seems to have conveniently forgotten her and Helena speaking to Emma like shit after she told them that Harry said he loved her. I think the word Meg used was “twat”.

She must have also forgotten saying to Helena “oh I’d so laugh if Harry came back to you, she’d look like a right fucking dickhead”.

Orrr when she went at Andrada with the “watch this” for earwigging, when she’d just been earwigging herself, and had previously earwigged at the terrace.

In fact, I’ve just seen a load of clips over on Twitter of Helena and Meg talking shit. God only knows why the producers haven’t decided to use any of those!

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

Well that was dramatic.

I almost felt sorry for Harry as I do think he genuinely likes Shakira but she won’t have him back after seeing all that (and I can’t blame her). I wonder who sang that track that played whilst Harry walked off alone - it was quite haunting.

Dejon is a hypocrite- he’s egged Harry on the whole way and now is dropping him like a hot potato. At least Conor had a chat with him and Toni said to him that she doesn’t hate him. The producers will probably manage him out now and he’ll go running back to Emma.

I don’t like Meghan, she’s too gobby and thinks she’s the oracle.

Made me laugh when Blu tried to get involved, Toni put him in his place. He doesn’t seem like a nice guy. Doesn’t like to be challenged by a strong woman.

Angel and Ty are just quietly getting on with it as are Jaz and Jamie but I’d still like Toni and Cach to win.

I don’t know why they bothered bringing back boring Blu.
The girls weren’t attracted to him and he is just a prick
Clearly trying to hang onto his fifteen minutes

Dejon is a hypocrite.
Meg is delusional.
Harry is deeply flawed.
Helena is finally finding a back bone.
Conor has been shafted by his “mates”.
Toni is erratic but mostly right.
Blu is aiming for screen time.
Angel and Tye are both nice but dull.
Yasmin is not that kinky in reality.
Shakira is learning valuable lessons.
Megan is loving being the truth sayer.

Cach and Jamie for the win.

Interesting viewing.

Angel is aligning herself with cheerleader gang of Helena, Meg, Megan so clearly is more like them.

Agree Cach is cool, calm and collected but also seems too mature for this show so I wonder why he entered it.

I don't feel anything for Helena. I think she was well aware about Harry but it was a 'win' for her to snag him and thats what she cares most about. She doesn't come across as a nice person at all.

I wish Megan and Blu would leave. Meghan's accent is doing my head in as is the way she keeps pulling at her dress and she's come back as the all knowing all seeing agony aunt for the cheerleaders. I loved seeing Blu being put in his place by Toni. He is completely irrelevant to the show. and the other contestants.

I wonder will Harry see it out? They can't have two men leave? But how do the production team fix it. Will they say its time for Harry and Helena's date? Will they have a game night so they will end up having to work with each other? Or will they throw a couple of newbies into the mix to disperse the groups?

Dijon is so calculating, you can literally see the cogs turning as he tries to calculate how to manipulate things to his advantage. Meg is trying to follow the tried and tested LI winning formula.

Toni and Shakira are amazing and I wish they could win together.

I love Conor's accent and hearing him speak but he is a follower.

Yas thinks the public is on her side but the public (at least the voting public who are probably very young) are fickle and won't think much or at all before voting according to how each episode is edited.

For the PP who asked what parts aren't scripted/prompted by the production team....honestly I think probably only the ones where they chat while eating. I don't think it is all scripted but I think they are told who and when to pull people for chats and what to talk about and the plots are often the result of planned tasks. The production team create drama from recouplings and newbies at first and later by 'shock exits' and breadcrumbing the public's opinions and clearly from telling contestants what others are saying to them in the movie night themed events.

Personally I don't get the love for Toni.

My favourites are Shakira, Conor and Cach.
Felt for Helena tonight, she handled herself well though.

I hope Harry has some good support in there.

I know we are not shown everything and a lot of what we are shown is edited by the producers for maximum drama. Some people don't seem to understand this and online comments, especially about Meg have gone too far I believe and are quite upsetting to read.

@Usernamenotavailable19 Meg absolutely does take pleasure in other peoples misery. Her face when Shakira had just had a row with Harry and Helena asked Shakira if she wanted to go for a chat and Shakira said no is proof of that. As is her constant grinning at everything horrible shown on screen unless it was targeted at her.

toni and Shakira do exactly the same thing, they always look at each other smirking or bursting into laughter when they are being shown to be bitching about someone.

I don’t know, it’s so weird that they are so polarising. I find them horrid. I don’t like Helena or Meg either, but to me Toni and Shakirah are another level of awful.

If I was in the villa (I’d spend all day hiding on my own in the hideaway…) I’d be really scared of Toni, she’s aggressive, sarcastic and manipulative. She tried so so so hard at every opportunity to get Harrison back, and the malice when she talked about Lauren was quite chilling. Lots of “her” and “she” said with venom- never said Lauren. She knew she would be able to manipulate Harrison and she did it very well. That is not a nice person.

(Harrison was a weak willed man child)

Shakira and Toni look at each other when they have been caught talking with each other.

Meg smirks when she sees other people (when she is not directly involved) get hurt. She comes across as deeply unpleasant.

Caught talking to each other? They look at each other and laugh and smirk and then say I’m not sorry for what I said when they can see Meg is upset. She was visibly crying last night and none of them asked if she was okay

Shakirah lost me when Helena walked past and she said “eat shit bitch” so just Toni could hear, it’s such a nasty thing to do. Like a mean little club.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything similar from the other girls?

Yes Helena laid it on hard with Harry with the sexual comments, but he wasn’t “closed off” with Shakirah and the game is to do just that.

I’ve not seen any comments on the same level of nastiness from any girls beyond T&S, I’d love examples to see what I’ve missed.

Toni could have left Harrison and Lauren alone and started fresh with lovely Cach WHO SHE ALSO PICKED AT CASA! But she couldn’t let it go, she couldn’t bear for another girl to have “beat” her.

Same. I just don’t see this thoughtful interesting Yas that others seem to see. She’s all about me, me, me. Jamie - ‘You’re intriguing Yas’ Yas - ‘yes, everyone says that’. And the way she repeats things back when having a conversation. I just find her mind numbingly boring now. I used to think she had something about her, but I think the producers were routing for her, and showed her good bits (which is why they were hardly showing her and Jamie at one point - because there was nothing really to show) Tye and Angel are my faves atm.

I love that everyone has their own opinions about what they see, that's part of what it makes it interesting to comment on these types of threads. I stumbled across 'Nia Speaks' on FB a couple of days ago and it made me chuckle as I agree with what she's saying. Worth checking out if anyone is pro Shakira 🙂

Connor has conducted himself really well throughout, he is really nice and straightforward, I think he's pretty fit too.
Connor and Megan for the win, I hope!
Shakira and Toni are just unpleasant mean girls. No time for them.
I am not sure why Meg gets so much hate?

I honestly think editing is the key. At the start they showed pretty revealing clips of mean girls Shakira and Toni, and the public just didn’t like them. But then the producers turned on Helena and Meg and showed their mean side, so the tables turned. The producers have total control over who wins and loses because they control the editing.
