My take on the Millie-Liam situation. I think she's wrong to take him back (which inevitably she will). What he did, on the face of it, kissing another girl, sure it's not the end of the world. Others have done more/ worse. But it was clearly a big deal to Millie, we've seen her in tears being really upset - and she doesn't seem like the sort of drama queen who would get that upset unless she really was hurt.
So what's Liam's response to it been? He's hung around like a bad smell, made some inappropriate 'jokes' and various half hearted efforts to show his interest, basically by saying he's interested. But what thought has he shown for her, for how upset she was? What has he learned from his behaviour? I think precisely nothing. He was off kissing Lillie simply because he could, and because he thought he'd get away with it, and I guarantee he'll do the same time and again once they leave the villa (if they stay together).

That said, I get definite cheating vibes from Jake too, if he got the opportunity and wasn't too busy trying to win!

This! My unpopular opinion .. Why are people talking like they were in a committed relationship? Both of them talked about getting to know other people. They are on a reality show where people get to know other people to find out who they have the strongest connection with. They was never in a relationship and had only known each other a few weeks. Lots of them have spoke about plans when they get out of the villa. It’s really not as deep as people are making out. If it was Jake, I could understand it as he asked Liberty to be his girlfriend and was therefore in a relationship. I think Liam has now genuinely realised its Millie he wants to be with long term, which is the point of the show isn’t it?

100% what i was thinking. They arnt in relationship, have known each other for a few weeks. They are all being way to ott with this its embarassing. Shes acting like its her boyfriend of 10 years, thats cheated.

I don’t think there’s going to be a Twitter or Headliner challenge this year and the final is in 19 days apparently, LI has been so boring and underwhelming this year I hope the producers fix up before it’s too late or it probably already is

They had the headlines challenge after CA last season, so there’s still a possibility that they could do it. I hope they do the heart rates challenge this year too, I think it could expose Jake as the grimy lad that he is. He’s not as set on Liberty as he wants everyone to think.
 
Here’s the thing for me. Would you rather a couple win who have a genuine connection, have shown they are human and susceptible to making mistakes, being sorry, over coming them and coming away stronger. Or a fake couple like Jake and Lib who are just box ticking what they think the public want and will get them to the final. If relationships forming is that we want to see then we have to be open to seeing warts and all. I don’t know a relationship out there that hasn’t gone through something a bit rocky, and as the saying goes it’s not about the challenge you face but how you overcome it. I don’t think this should taint Millie and Liam’s chances of winning. If anything they’ve shown they’re human and flawed like most of us watching. Those early days when you’re forming a connection can be very hit and miss, and it’s usually when mistakes and regrets are made. Im not giving up on them yet!

I definitely think producers wanted a heartbreak story like they do every year, so are milking it a bit. I didn't think her and Liam were ever really serious so I was surprised by her reaction tbh. I thought she would have moved on easily knowing that he was a waste of her time.
 
I know Abi could see that Mary and Dale were drawn to each other more but she’s still allowed to pick the guy she wants to couple up with. There was no need for Mary to stand up and basically say “well he’s mine” if you’re only in the talking stage of dating 🤷🏼‍♀️ They all overreact to everything this season and it’s sort of unnecessary

I immediately thought of Faye and Teddy reading some of that post - genuine connection, flawed, mistakes and overcoming them. There was a genuine misunderstanding between them whereas Liam saw a chance to mess two women about and took it.
 
My issue with Liam is how he's handled the whole situation. Technically he did nothing wrong in CA as they weren't official despite behaving like they were official but since he's come back to Millie he's downplayed it and lied and just been sneaky about it. I'd have some respect for him if he just owned it and said yeah I kissed Lillie and I liked her and I did all the dares and had a great time but I realised I want to be with you, I'm crazy about you please give me another chance.

Having said all that... I'm a LOT older than both Liam and Millie and I'd be lying if I said I didn't handle certain situations badly and/or give dopes another chance when I was young! Sometimes you just gotta learn the lessons the hard way 🤷‍♀️
