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!

This is my take on Bikinigate…The bikini didn’t fit Helena properly because it wasn’t her bikini. The straps kept falling down hence the comment from Shakira. Yes, the comment was delivered in an unpleasant way but that was in reaction to Helena’s goading.

Wearing another woman’s bikini, without asking, then flirting with the fella that woman is coupled up with is a bit weird. And we know all of this because of Helena’s comments to Meg whilst getting ready.

Shakira’s comment was unnecessary but it wasn’t body shaming.

Edited

None of the bikinis belong to any of the girls. Apparently there’s a wardrobe of clothes and pool attire which each girl helps themself to. Maybe some costumes are favourites for a particular girl, but it doesn’t belong to them. I remember reading about it ages ago and thinking urghhh, it’s like sharing someone’s underwear……

Omg that first look - Dejon is ridiculous!

Those poor women having to kiss these guys 🤢

This isn't true. They absolutely take some of their own clothes in but there's also stuff they can use already there. They're just not allowed branded things.

@Livelovebehappy I just watched the clip. She whispers to Toni "that bikini don't fit her that's why the strap's down" in a pretty non-descript tone with a neutral expression on her face. There's nothing to it.

Boxplots · 20/07/2025 16:25

Shakira said herself at movie night it was nasty because she meant for it to be. I suspect most people have said something nasty to their mates when someone has been nasty to them and they have then taken liberties. I might be a horrible person but I dont think it was that bad given the circumstances.

But on movie night Shakira did admit to intending the comment to be unpleasant. And whilst you think her comment appeared to be just a statement with no malice, I interpreted it differently when I saw it, especially if you see the whole context before and after.

I watched an Aftersun episode and I’m sure one the contestants who had left said they shared all the clothes. But I guess it may be true that they’re allowed to take their own in too. Who knows if the swimming costume in this particular scenario was one of Shakira own or a shared one. I would imagine though, that unless it was something agreed between Shakira and Helena, that Helena wouldn’t have just put it on.

To be blunt, I wouldn’t want to share/wear a bikini bottom that was like string rubbing along someone’s a hole

True - it's basically wearing someone's knickers. But then I wouldn't wanna be sitting around all day where their practically bare arses had been sitting either.

She specifically said - on 2 separate occasions - that she was putting on Shakira’s bikini. The second time it was with a snigger between her and Meg. We haven’t assumed that she was wearing a bikini belonging to Shakira she said it - nastily - in terms, both times.

Even if it was a pool of clothing she certainly considered that it was one of Shakira’s

Vintagenow · 20/07/2025 17:44

So glad the players know what the public think of them after that game the other night. Not a single genuine couple amongst them, zero chemistry. Their manipulative tactics are clear for all to see.
Shakira is way too good for Connor. Wish she'd got it on with Boris.
Yas has given her all and totally immersed herself in the LI experience and deserves to win imo.

Agree I’m confused people are saying it a communal bikini when Helena and Meg said at the outset it was shakira’s and shakira later said Helena had her bikini on. It’s quite clear. Even if there is another pool of shared bikinis
i think it was vile of Helena and Meg to laugh about it

whyschoolwhy · 20/07/2025 18:42

Exactly! How anyone can suggest Shakira is the bad guy in that situation is beyond me. Perhaps they are strong believers in the 'turn the other cheek' approach to life.

Harrison not appearing on after sun tonight, apparently because hes at a concert.

Why Boris though? So far all we've seen is him con Billykiss into taking him into the villa, then possibly have sex with an extremely toxic woman.

Lmao brilliant!

Probably for the best, no way can they ask the questions people actually want answers to without inflaming things. I wonder if he will return for the final or anything when the rest of the cast come back.

pinkdelight · 20/07/2025 19:30

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see how much the Aftersun pundits play the party line or raise an eyebrow at Harrison’s sudden love for Lauren. We’ll see how strong the producer whip is.

But the point I'm also making is that Shakira had obviously given her permission to share it because Helena wouldn't have put it on otherwise nor would Shakira not have said something to her, ie 'can you take off that bikini. Its mine' Both parties were mean in what they said that night. No-one came out of it covered in glory. The only girl in there who is honest and without nastiness is Yasmin.

I think we have to agree to differ. This isn’t what I saw.

Harry's apology = more producer nudging?

Shakira handled that very well.

I'm not sure Shakira "obviously gave her permission". Helena has a bit of form for taking stuff of hers. I'm not sure Shakira is the type to demand she take it off either... more just rolled her eyes and probably wasn't particularly fussed at the time as she knew she looked better in it anyway. She was obviously pissed off when she realised Helena was wearing her bikini to try and pull her man though. I think we'd all get a bit catty about that.

copi1ot · 20/07/2025 21:08

Cach looking a bit bored with Billykiss's chat.
