I think the whole “chat” thing is staged by the show runners is it not? It always seems so unnatural to me, so how are we to know Teddy isn’t being told to approach Faye for a chat?I'm on the fence on this.
Whilst seeing that clip of Teddy wouldn't necessarily have made me lose my rag as much as Faye did, I would still have been bloody annoyed with him, not so much for being attracted to someone else but for the fact he'd not said a single thing about it. The whole debacle with Jake would have quite possibly tipped me over the edge. I don't get why none of the other girls were annoyed by the gnome, are they all just such simps that they can't see how bad it was? Why was no one else calling Jake out?!
Jake's reaction to Faye was really unpleasant. Take it from someone who's been there, he's the sort of bloke who would react with his hands if a woman puts him down or calls him out on his behaviour. It's written all over his thick face.
I know that loads of you think Matt is great, but I found the bit with him and that utter bellend Liam sitting there and commenting (about how awful Faye's shouting and arguing was) so bloody misogynistic. Real overtones of how women should behave in a certain way etc. Can't bear either of them now.
But back to Faye.. thing is, she did say she didn't want to speak to Teddy. Shouldn't he have left it at that? Spoke to her tomorrow when she was sober and a calmer discussion could have ensued?
I'm no massive fan of Faye's at all and haven't ever wanted her to win (other than as a way to stop Jiberty) but from some posts on here tonight the level of horror at her behaviour is such that you'd think she'd killed someone. She got annoyed, at least part of which was justified, she lost her temper, shouted and swore. She said her bit. In some ways I think good for her. I'd rather do that than be totally passive like Millie who is allowing Liam to walk all over her and will do exactly the same the next time he cheats and the one after that.
I didn’t interpret Matt or Liam’s reactions as being misogynistic at all actually. Faye was bang out of order, they are allowed to recognise that and express it. She spent most of the episode ranting at everybody and anybody. I don’t care how annoyed she was, she says she’s an adult but if she was then she would have removed herself from the situation to cool down. Not had a barney on national television, acting like Billy Big Balls. I like a drama, but this went beyond it. Her swearing and shouting was disgusting, she only had to look at the other islanders’ faces to see how bad it was.
