I know I've said it before, but I do think Brook is bitter about being paired with Chris. Definitely think it's where a lot of the mean girl energy is coming from - well, that and Gia's raging superiority complex.

Edited

I agree.

But I also think she’s a mean girl anyway.

Kind of hoping it’s her who walks out tomorrow, because she’s doing my nut in!

The only people I don’t think it will be leaving are Alissa, Stella, Gia & Bec

Could be any of the others.

Bec could have a tantrum

Yeah, but I think her and Danny are good at the moment. So I can’t see it being her.

I’d say Rachel, Julia, Rebecca, Brooke or Mel are the most likely suspects

I don't think it will go anywhere long-term if he doesnt feel sexual chemistry now. But she's a nice person so he's ok spending time with her. Would be nice to be wrong.

But she wants romance and love/lust.

Peony1985 · 24/03/2026 21:12

To be honest I wasn’t a Mel fan but having that at the end was incredibly moving. She was an absolute trooper clearly.

Choux · 24/03/2026 21:12

I think it’s likely to be Julia but could be Rebecca. Julia can’t cope if she isn’t in full control of the situation and Grayson has now called her out which she won’t like. Rachel is just moving out to get some space and isn’t quitting.

He doesn't seem to like her even as an acquaintance. Whenever she speaks, he looks and sounds annoyed by her sheer presence.

He’s definitely not turned on by her, all he could say he found attractive were her eyes and laughs. Even I could tell in her outfit tonight that she has a nice cleavage.

Moonandstarsandsun · 24/03/2026 21:15

Brooke is definitely someone’s personality can make them look ugly. She is very pretty girl but looks ugly

Oh, I was talking about Bec/Danny long term. I'm not sure if you were too? But Rachel, yes she does want that stuff.

Oh I think I was talking about, meh nevermind!

loveawineloveacrisp · 24/03/2026 21:22

I might try and do all my meetings in Julia word salad style tomorrow. It'd make a change from everyone else talking bollocks.

Seagroves · 24/03/2026 21:24

I also keep getting Dean flashbacks! Intimacy seems like coercion to me.

ruethewhirl · 24/03/2026 21:26

Rachel's got lovely hair, I'm not sure why she doesn't wear it down more. Seems like it'd be wasted on Steven though. 🙁

And guaranteed to give you the ick.

Even if you didn’t have it before.

Ophir · 24/03/2026 21:29

I find Rachel very annoying.

But it never works matching big women with wee men 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ophir · 24/03/2026 21:30

And I’m a sturdy woman, couldn’t be doing with a petite dude

Villanousvillans · 24/03/2026 21:33

Julia is completely nuts but so beautiful with it.

He seems like someone who takes pride in being thin

Can't explain it but some men are like that

I said up thread I just don't think there's any point in older women or overweight women going on this show. It doesn't matter how beautiful, vivacious and wonderful they are, they seem to be set up to fail or be treated badly in some way. It's upsetting to watch their self esteem erode.

Villanousvillans · 24/03/2026 21:40

Mr Silver Fox has zero personality. Rebecca, on the other hand is full of gorgeous personality. There’s someone out there for Rebecca, She needs to cut her losses.

I’m old and sturdy but wouldn’t put up with this shite

The way those women are treated? I was worried I had been offensive to women in that category, when I only have sympathy for them being exploited and upset and think they're on a hiding to nothing going on the show.

SabrinaThwaite · 24/03/2026 21:48

Aww Rachel - whoever put her up to that stupid cue cards thing needs a good talking to. That was humiliating.

Moonandstarsandsun · 24/03/2026 21:48

I’m only up to with the notebook. It’s cringey

Moonandstarsandsun · 24/03/2026 21:49

I hope these two make it
