Previous thread starters appear to be taking a break so here we go

Omar, FFS what a twat tonight

They should have had the cocktails before their meal, they were just sleepy from all that food.

If Rhiana stays with Omar she'll be stuck with a bodyguard again.

Last night’s episode was a strange one. The arrival of the GC has really unsettled some of them. It’s highlighted the total lack of cohesion or team spirit in the house. They really are just a bunch of individuals living under the same roof for a while. No real friendships being formed apart from Rob, Sam and Harry.

And Omar, he’s all over the place. There’s no way that this will work on the outside because he’s too concerned with how things are perceived and preserving his status with his mates.

I think Omar just felt Rihanna was being overly flirty with Lynx. I didn't think he was particularly out of order in letting her know how it made him feel 🤷‍♀️
Their romance is childish and boring though. I think Omar would've fared far better without the romantic involvement. Rihanna appears to be a personality free zone, she's 22, but acts like a child.

Agree the romance is boring.

And I can't help thinking they both would have gone for completely different partners outside the very limited choice in the house.

I have been in a couple of relationships like this. With men who go loco if I dare to be remotely friendly with another man. Freezing me out, side-eyeing me, saying 'you know what you fucking did!' when I ask what on earth is wrong, and even going as far as to call me a slag when I am cheery and friendly with a man.

Whilst dating this one particular guy, I leaned out of passenger window in his car once, when he had pulled up at the lights, and shouted 'hi Dave, how are doing mate, haven't seen you for a while' to a man I knew from my old neighbourhood. My partner at that time turned around to me when I had wound the window back up, and said 'you fucking slag!' I said 'what?' He said 'hanging out the window with your fucking tits on show!' Then he went silent, then drove down the road a bit, pulled into a layby and said 'get out you fucking whore.'

I was literally gobsmacked. He drove off. I was 3 miles from home, and not on a bus route, and had to walk home. No mobile phones then. This was mid 1980s when I was about 19-20.

I was so upset, and my dad was furious when I told him what had happened.

Cheeky twat rang me the next day, and said he will think about forgiving me if I say sorry, and mean it, and SHOW him I'm sorry. (Whatever THAT means!)

My dad was closeby and listening, and he grabbed the phone off me and said 'if you ever come near my daughter again, or even attempt to ring her, I will fucking kill you.'

Line went dead. Never heard from him or saw him again. When I looked back over the relationship (had been nearly 4 months,) there had been quite a few red flags, I just hadn't noticed them. Telling me I look better with no make up, telling me I need to cut my hair as he prefers girls with short hair, and telling me women shouldn't work when they have children. Also slated my weight/figure, telling me I need to shape up a bit and losing a stone wouldn't do me any harm. (I'm 5 ft 4 and was 8 stone 10.)

Watching and listening to Omar, and the way he's treating Rihanna is chilling.

Last night’s was the most peculiar and boring episode ever! The Gruesome “this is my house” Twosome were just an embarrassment in their need for air time. I was hoping the GC would bring some interest, but what a damp squib - her expression during the cocktail party was so funny. I know it is in the editing, the way they all sat there like dummies 🥱

Yes I voted Pauline as a knee jerk reaction and wish I waited to vote annoying Rob off.

It was typical entry level control. 100% wrong and I hope she listens to the message he is really sending.

Yep, it's a bit worrying @JasmineMac that you can't see anything wrong with Omar's behaviour last night.

Yes, I am not a fan of Rob, and really wish that Pauline had stayed. But it is what it is I guess. I do agree with a previous poster that Johanne was the reason for Pauline's downfall - well mostly. Pauline has to take some of the responsibility, as she is an independent grown woman. Mostly though, Johanne was a terrible and toxic influence on her.

I wonder if there's a different explanation for Omar's behaviour - one that hasn't even occurred to Omar.

He was aware that it would be controlling to police Rhianna's behaviour, and said so. It came across though that he thought it overly flirty.

That wheedling 'pleeeese' from Rhianna was akin to the hair twiddling, 'just a helpless little girl, need a big man to help me' attitude that some woman embarrassingly adopt. And what I wondered whether that had caused Omar to lose some respect for Rhianna. Had her down as a self-possessed cool girl who wouldn't kowtow to a man in that manner.

TL;DR Omar wasn't jealous - he lost some respect for R

I liked Pauline but I'm glad she's gone purely because I don't want another camera grabbing showmance. It's so much more interesting watching the individuals. Everyone is so paranoid aren't they.

Omar's behaviour was appalling. Sadly I think this sort of thing is common in young men, he's got some growing up to do. I hope Rhianna dumps him.

I think it's probably that things have been building up for a while and Omar has pushed it aside. She has been flirty with Lynx from early on. There was that time when she said something about Lynx being a real man who looks after women in front of Omar. It would be hard for anyone to see things like that. Imagine if it was a man saying to their GFs friend that she is a real woman, flirting with her in front of not only her eyes but the whole nation. We would easily see he was mistreating her.
Or, maybe he is just a misogynistic pig and we are seeing that he views women as subordinates who should respect him. It could be either.

“She’s learning” from Omar.

Ugh. Toxic masculinity.

I’ve gone right off him. The only one I like now is Yasmin. Lynx is ok too but a bit boring to watch.

They can all get in the bin.

Bring back Jedward (desperate times etc...)
I'd like to see the GC's reaction to them 😄

Caught up on last night's now.

No, I don't think Omar genuinley thinks Ri is flirting with Lynx, she literally said please in a faux way we've all done at times. He's now slowly testing the waters to see how far he can control her and how malleable she is.
The hills are that way, Ri 👉

Felt bad for twinks last night, not a huge fan of hers but she seems genuinley lovely and Phillip and Roachelle are coming across like a pair of bitter bullies, which tbh they are.

GC adding nothing so far except self publicity.

Sam getting upset thinking he heard 'Get Sam/Samuel out' - I'm pretty sure it was 'Get Rochelle out' wasnt it??? 😠

My opinion of Omar has varied but I think he's being an arse on this one.

This is a worrying take. Omar acknowledging how he may be seen as ‘controlling’ doesn’t mean he isn’t being controlling, it means he is being manipulative as well. It’s easy to see how women excuse, minimise and fall for people like this.

Omar is definitely trying to control Rhianna.

“She’s learning” was not a sign he sees them as equals.

Omar was bang out of order. No excuses. He has no right to tell Ri how to talk to someone. Also, he tried to get her to cover up, asking if she wanted to put something on, was she cold and she said no, she was fine.

We see you Omar.

The sneak peek shows Frankie being a bit of an arse. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll ever be up for eviction so we have to suffer him until the end.

Every week there is someone more annoying than Frankie so yes, can see him coasting to the final.

Smelling handbags. Oh dear.
