I want someone to explain to me what Tasha has actually done that’s so bad? Nothing the boys haven’t. I honestly think it’s the casa girls fault for going in there and winding everyone the fuck up over it
• her and Andrew were couples up and things were going well, but she was interested when Jay came on. Again, no biggy. But Jay went for Ekin so Tasha cracked on with Andrew. All fairly above board.
• then Charlie came in and the same thing happened; Tasha have Charlie the green light but he wasn’t especially interested. She threw a massive huff at Andrew, blamed it on him essentially and said she was having doubts. When Charlie didn’t crack on with her, those doubts disappeared and miraculously she was happy with Andrew again. She started telling him how great things were and what a good place they were in. So in summary we started seeing some manipulative nasty behaviour, and we see a pattern of Tasha liking someone else but running back to Andrew when it doesn’t work out. When they are voted as a least popular couple, she doesn’t react well.
• the same happens in Casa. She’s left things with Andrew in a good place but cracks on with Billy nevertheless, claiming he brings out a “different side” to her…
• Andrew is told by the boys and new girls that Tasha is using him. Deep down he must believe it himself.
• when they are reunited, Tasha and Andrew are both coupled up. Tasha knows she looks bad and is aware the public perception of her isn’t good. She then continues manipulative behaviour; crying and turning the whole situation back on Andrew, refusing to acknowledge how her messing with his head could have contributed to him cracking on with coco.
• likely realising that she’s unpopular and that her best bet is to crack on with Andrew, she decides to win the public round by making him her boyfriend, when mere days before She was crying in bed with Billy because she liked him.
• when she’s still in the bottom 3 least popular islanders, she throws a tantrum essentially. Zero compassion for her fellow islanders who have been kicked out and who were also voted out. She uses histrionic language - Luca is “coming at her” when he points out she’s just found a boyfriend in Andrew.
overall, Tasha consistently exhibits manipulative and self centred behaviour. She appears to lack empathy for a lot of her fellow islanders, and isn’t honest with anyone she’s coupled up with. It didn’t help that her father appears to be her biggest enabled. She comes across as bee spoiled and petulant which is why she’s not sitting well with the general public.
None of the girls want to intervene and defend Tasha because they believe she is disliked by the public and so don’t want to be unpopular by doing so, even if they believe she is being treated unfairly. That’s where their age and immaturity really comes into play. They’re all too self aware and image obsessed that they would rather watch someone be relentlessly picked on because they believe she is unpopular, rather than have some class and principles and defend her and speak up for what is right. That is why whatever you think of her, Tasha cannot be in the bottom tonight. It will be amazing to see their faces when she isn’t and we will see then how the dynamic changes and who suddenly comes to her defence now she isn’t little miss unpopular anymore. They’re all out for themselves.
tbh I think they are all a bit drained and fed up with her. Paige and Gemma still rallied round her and defended her when Luca spoke to her. I can’t stand Luca and his motives weren’t in the right place - but he didn’t say anything unfair or nasty to Tasha.
Ekin and the other girls just seemed a bit over tashas crying and self absorption. They were helping out coco and checking on summer instead.
