As I say, this is the countdown to the end, now we're in the last week of the series. I think it finishes on 4th Aug... Just over a week away.

No clear winner(s) at the moment really, quite a few unlikeable contestants, and lots of arguments and discord! I'm almost looking forward to this series ending to be honest! 😆

As you were folks!

Shakira’s sister really reminds me of Grace from previous LI, a dark-haired version.

Probably cos shes from down south..

That’s a really good point. For some (not all) the divide is real and there’s unfortunately a snobbery about it.

Well what a shit show that was Harry’s mum enabling his behaviour, Mug’s family not liking Mustard - her sis was proper scary! Shakira’s family not liking Harry, Cach’s family not really gelling with Toni. Love to be around their tables at Xmas ! Interesting to see what Helena’s mum will say to Harry! I really think Yas and Jamie are going to win it best of an extremely bad bunch

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 28/07/2025 22:27

OMG how much does Yasmin's sister look like her?! Shock Are they twins?!

Harry's mum defending him to the hilt LOL.

Shakira's mum not keen on Harry LOL!!!

She is. As I say, she reminds me of Michelle Keegan. Shakira's pretty though. Smile

I wonder why Harry doesn't look people in the eye when he's speaking.

Exactly what I was thinking! Absolutely beautiful, with exactly the same posture and mannerisms. You can barely tell them apart!

They were really sweet to her, which I thought was nice. But yes, quite possibly.

Plus they haven’t seen him with Shakira I guess and they are used to seeing him with Helena.

The struggle with eye contact could be social anxiety, his mum said he was a people pleaser (although I suspect she would say anything to get him off the hook!)
Or maybe he’s just shady! 😂

Aquarius1234 · 28/07/2025 22:34

Are they identical twins?

Thedogscollar · 28/07/2025 22:50

Aquarius1234 · 28/07/2025 22:34

No they are fraternal twins but look very much like.
I can see her and Jamie winning.
The family visits so far have been eye openers.
Shakira's mum does not like Harri, shocker 😂
Megs sister and mum do not like Dejon, another shocker.
The pair of them are players. I wouldn't rate them in the top 5.

He might be ND

this might explain either impulsivity or lack of true emotion 😣

Tulipsparkle · 28/07/2025 23:24

Was pleasantly surprised that some of the parents were willing to be honest rather than just adding further fakery as usual! Meg seemed annoyed that her family weren't going along with her 'fairytale'. I wonder if the comment she made about them watching what they were saying was due to her concern it could harm their chances of winning 🤔

Aquarius1234 · 28/07/2025 20:46

Yeh sorry I've done a 180 and my opinion of Shakira has changed. Totally.
Don't like her now at all.

I beg your finest pardon? You never liked her! Neither did @Livelovebehappy 😁

CagneyNYPD1 · 28/07/2025 23:30

Harry’s mum, “He’s a people pleaser”. No. He’s a Harry Pleaser.

But we can now see that neither Harry’s mum nor his best friend were prepared to hold him to account. Although they are not responsible for his behaviour, it does help to explain why he is the way he is. Mum gives off “But he’s my little prince” vibes and his friend gives off “He’s my best mate and I’m completely in awe of him” vibes. How on earth does Harry do it? It’s baffling. The man needs to be studied.
