Someone is going to have to explain to me how Matty is leading Jordan on 😅 from my pov they both initiate flirting

A lot of value seems to be placed on Jordan saying that they should stop and people are blaming Matty for continuing yet ignoring that Jordan has also continued to initiate flirting and reciprocate

I’m just confused, I feel like I’m living in a different reality to the people on Twitter and Reddit

Matty is such a cocktease. He's been making it quite clear to Jordan that he's not interested (although how Jordan is not getting that is crackers).
But Matty in the next breath does the right amount of flirting. I think he's enjoying the attention off Jordan and maybe some way hopes it will mean the public keep him in for the 'love story'
I just feel for Henry in it all

I see the complete opposite!! Matty is the one who has said on multiple occasions "do you want to have a serious chat?" and Jordan always says no. Jordan keeps saying "confusing!!" "I hate you" "Don't touch me" but then is always running over to Matty to tickle him, tell him he has nice lips, giggling and flirting. They are both interested in each other but Jordan is either too scared to do anything or isn't serious about it. If he said to Matty "let's snog right now", Matty's wouldn't hesitate. IMO I think Jordan is the one acting up for a bit of public interest!

I don't trust his whole act tbh. I don't have emotions, I don't have feelings, I'm shy and coy. The "stoic" attitude is getting old. People watching BB don't want to see housemates who put up a front.
 
Oh yes… just because I read a post on Reddit how Jordan’s set up for telling his father is dead is hilarious

He mentioned yesterday on a livestream that he wants to direct a comedy show

He has also mentioned before that he’s a bit tired of law. It has clicked into place for me that he might be interested in using BB as starting point for a possible comedy career? The deadpan delivery of jokes would surely be appealing for some

That makes complete sense. And also I don’t think there’s anyone in there who isn’t using BB to kick start a new career as a tv personality or similar. I know BB housemates have always become somewhat well known after the show but I think this year it’s a lot more evident that like Love Island, everyone is there for their careers and may potentially be planning to leave their current jobs to become more of an influencer/tv personality/get some other media job.

Dylan is someone who just happens to be disabled. He just gets on with it. Kerry on the other hand plays on it, loves reminding everyone that she’s disabled and will use it as an excuse for her entitled behaviour. I’m still unsure how much of it is down to her MS and how much of it is because she’s also morbidly obese.

I see many people with MS who do aqua aerobics to help themselves even once a week would help and they have a wheelchair sorry it's obesity...jmo before I get a backlash...you have to help yourself...

Yeah they do. I don’t think Matty’s leading Jordan on necessarily (the only ‘leading on’ I see seems to be Jordan to Henry). However I don’t personally think Matty is into Jordan in that way at all, so he may be initiating/going along with flirting just to keep the public interested in him. Jordan clearly likes Matty and Henry clearly likes Jordan but I don’t believe Matty likes anyone that way. I’m tired of the games tbh and I still love Jordan but his behaviour is insanely messy and selfish right now. I understand he’s autistic (as confirmed by a friend of his on TikTok), I am myself, but that doesn’t really excuse his constant jumping from Henry to Matty and then questioning/gaslighting Matty (ie calling him confusing) for no reason. It’s like he’s projecting his own habit of confusing Henry, onto Matty. He’s acting like a 16 year old, not 26.

I agree, they both initiate it. I do think we’re missing so much context though, as it sounds like the lives are showing a different side to it. I think the reason I side more with Jordan (other than him being my half brother, obviously) is because I get Jordan more than I do Matty. Jordan’s the kind of person I’d be friends with in real life. But I’m liking him less and less over the last few days.

Edit: He may win back my affections if he makes Henry happy.
 
Matty’s the one who’s in a relationship so he holds all the cards really. It’s clear Jordan fancies him but it’s completely up to Matty whether anything is able to happen. He’s crying over the photo of his boyfriend one minute and flirting with Jordan the next, I can see why Jordan’s confused to be honest!
 
I sometimes wonder whether Matty is challenging Jordan because he thinks it’s good for him but the cringe way he reacts should tell Matty to stop.
I’ve really surprised myself by warming to Olivia, her exuberance is actually fun to watch. You can see she’s had a fair bit of “work” done so she maybe wasn’t always this confident. On the first couple of episodes I just wrote her off as gobby mean girl, which she kind of is, but I’ll give her a chance.
I don’t really mind that a lot of them are obviously there to pursue a career in the media, it’s somewhat a given at this point. The likes of Zak, Noky and Olivia it’s sort of their day job anyway so it doesn’t bother me.
I found it a bit cringe Hallie saying she wants to represent her “community”, being a self-centred, tantrum throwing, boring 18 year old doesn’t exactly do anyone any favours.
 
Big Brother subject, but not this Big Brother. Big Brother 7 which I am re-watching for some reason.

One of Nikki’s first break downs is because on the shopping task they win the junk food and meat but they don’t win the fruit and veg.

Her anxiety immediately goes up and then in the evening she picks at her food and doesn’t eat it and Grace has a go at her for being spoiled and disrespectful. And Nikki just breaks down. She tells them she doesn’t want to talk about why and they cal her childish.

…And my heart just absolutely breaks, knowing her food issues, knowing what she went through, knowing that she couldn’t vocalise her thoughts. Pete is the only one who who really bothers to comfort and listen to her. It’s so sad, knowing what we know now.
 
The sneak peak…. 🤔 have the producers started to get BB mixed up with Love Island? I honestly hate love island - give me OG BB vibes please 😂
I’m starting to consider giving up on this series. I thought it was great until this week and it just went majorly downhill. Just task after task/game, bad editing, no shake ups, weak punishments for rule breaks and starting to feel very manufactured like LI (eg the conversations at the VIP party felt very planned)
