Obviously Ekin Su's star has fallen with the ITV execs and they could have given her a more favourable edit for sure, however she's caused all this herself. The only way for her to have not got into this mess would have been genuine from the start, but she went in playing games from the first night and never stopped. That got her caught out with the viewers, then got her caught out with the house mates, and has caught her out in the live interview which fair enough there were some hard questions and people can be unhappy about Leyton's comments but in the initial interview even when it was clear they were going to pick her up on inconsistencies she kept plugging on with her lies about nominating Louis etc.

If she had just held her hands up and said 'it was a game, I tried to play it but it didn't work, that's why I nominated Louis' etc. I think things would have gone better for her.

I'm just catching up with all this now. Levi really gives me the creeps and I'm glad he's out. I think he's the worst of them all, masquerading as a zen yoga master when he's a spiteful little chap. The fact his daughters don't speak to him says volumes.

Ekin-Su is a very silly woman. I do think she's beautiful, but I think she's at her best without make up. She's still quite young I think - late 20s? - so I suspect she'll look back on this in embarrassment, like we all do. She behaved badly but I hope she's ok as this has turned very nasty.

And telling a woman she needs a cock is just pathetic. I don't know who this Layton is and I haven't watched Love Island so I figure he was on that?

While I slightly disagree with the witch hunt on socials, I do agree that she was held accountable for her OWN actions on L&L. Leyton said what everyone else was thinking. AJ wasn’t nasty just truthful in her responses. She could of flipped the outcome on L&L by saying ‘you know what, I hold my hands up, I did overreact etc’

Everything she did on L&L last night told me everything I needed to know! She’s a dangerous individual. She needs therapy not another tv show

I agree with this. Her best strategy for damage control would have been to laugh it off like "yep I'm a drama queen! I've learnt from BB that I need to work on my reactions." People respect honesty and reflection, but she seems incapable of those qualities. She continued lying, being defensive, and coming across totally unhinged. She can blame the edit on the show all she likes, but L&L is live and her behaviour was exactly the same on there.
 
Glad that the right two are gone. Levi was in a sulk, I would say since being nominated. I was watching closely to see if he would hug Colson as he left 😉. And David kindly helped him into his jacket. 😁

Ekin-Su got the most boos, I think, each time the names were announced. I haven't watched Late and Live, might have a catch up tonight.

He was also partnered by Nikita in Strictly last year.

I missed the interviews because I fell asleep 😴
Did either Levi or Ekin Su say anything interesting?

They were uncomfortable to watch, but worth doing so. In summary

Ekin blames the edit and says lots were left out (it was pointed out that she doesn’t know what was shown as she had only been out for minutes!). Her mum popped up trying to create some conspiracy that Sharon named 3 people for most influential and that it was edited it out - despite the fact it was shown live.

Levi turned really nasty on David.

I’m glad AJ mentioned the point about Marisha being American when it came to her Ekin nomination.
I haven’t watched BB US in years but they were all about winning and gameplay

It's really weird how people never admit wanting to win on UK shows, and anyone who does is treated as if they've done something terrible. I really liked love island games because people were so open about wanting to win.
 
It feels like Ekin su first defence was to blame the edit. It doesn't make sense, you were on love island a very edited show so you know that big brother is going to be edited too. She's not seen the show to comment probably had her mum in her ear. The whole Sharon saying her name but it not being there was ridiculous. I think she thought she was very popular and she's been brought back to earth.
 
Blimey I clearly turned off L & L too early last night. Will watch it on catch up.

I actually came on to say that in the Daily Mail today is an article mentioning that Louis sleeps so much because the cancer he had has absolutely drained him. I bet that’s why he doesn’t give a feck what he’s saying as well, living his full life.

How long does it take to get up to well known on here? There’s a couple of posters sticking up for ES in the same unhinged way a couple of people were defending Trish on the civilian BB. But the user names are differen. You can only be shown in a bad light be you behaved in that way. Bad edit my fat arse.

Right off I go to watch ES get an absolute roasting.

Omg i must still be half asleep I was thinking ‘why is he telling her she needs a stiff chicken?’

I’m the same I didn’t get it at all when I saw it this morning! Jeez Layton.

I’m not fond of Levi, but I don’t think he was as bad as people are making out. Any harshness has come in response to words Big Brother has given him. They asked him to choose the most boring, asked him to choose the most evil. He’s not an articulate man and his answers and explanations come out off.

I've been wondering about Ekin appearing to mimic accents and in the back of my mind I recalled there is a psychological condition that causes it, so I looked it up and there' something called the Chameleon Effect, which is a subconscious response to responding to social situations, and includes mimicking accents without realising it. Apparently its purpose is to give the person a sense of safety and security in a social environment.

Agree with this.

I am not a fan either but I don’t take pleasure at the thought of someone losing their livelihood either. Especially for no crime committed.

I like both Fern and Marisha but both went in for the kill. Just more skilled than ES. Why should she not defend herself on L&L though?!

Agree her mother seems to be an enabler rather than telling her to just wise up. I guess for me no worse than Sharon’s raising of the vile Kelly!

I see her as quite vulnerable in a weird way. What the psychologist tried to say on L&L too but AJ wasn’t having it.

There was definitely some suspect editing: Lauren not even mentioning her in DR as one she liked?! The Louis conversation after nominations. Just too many to mention.

All to say you don’t have to like a HM to recognise a pile on. Shame on ITV. AJ and Leyton weak and spiteful too.
 
I haven't watched Late and Live yet, might catch up tonight.

Re Ekin-Su, without wanting to sound too deep about the whole thing, I actually think she doesn't know who she is iykwim. Hence the complete lack of authenticity.

I know I said it before but I thought she was trying from the beginning to get screentime by chatting to the well-known celebrities, Fern, Sharon and Louis.

She dropped Louis like a hot stone, when she heard the booing for him. I am still curious about what he wanted to say to her as they walked along the corridor after the last lot of nominations. She just brushed him off.

Her reaction to Marisha sealed her fate as regards eviction. It will be interesting to see if she gets more tv work. I only knew who she was because she was in Dancing on Ice. Although I believe she was in Love Island too. 😉
