We all know Luca is a prize twit.
I was so angry with Adam this episode too, not in the same way at all but his “wife in the streets freak in the sheets” comment was terrible. I hate this Paige is “wifey material” crap because she’s such a pick me, yes girl whereas the strong women of the Villa aren’t “wifey material” because they won’t sit down and shut up.
Also agreeing with Luca when he openly just said he loved seeing Paige with the other boys. Also he looks like everyone’s giant Granda.

No the Giant Granda comment has finished me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
At this point legitimately the only couple I buy who genuinely like each other is Andrew/Tasha. I think Ekinde like each other but won’t last a minute once they leave. The drama is all that keeps that relationship going. The other finalists all consist of one half who’s faking it to get to the end.

Victim blaming? At what point has anyone said that Luca's disgusting behaviour was caused by Gemma?

As for your role model comment, Gemma wants to be an influencer who reaches a million followers. It's in the name, influencers influence others, in other words Gemma is going to make it her responsibility to be a role model.

Doesn't care about the money so what is staying with him out of love lol 😂🤣😂 have you heard yourself

Someone literally said on here Gemma should be ashamed of herself and she’s setting a bad example of what’s okay to accept.
What is that if not victim blaming?
 
Luca is so impressionable - by the guys - it's scary. For me, that's the deal breaker. Every time a bloke says to him I wouldn't like it if my girl did that he immediately falls into a pit of insecurity. FFS get a backbone and stand up to the guys, NOT to Gemma who did nothing wrong.

These guys huddle in groups and cause chaos in other people's relationships --- they are worse than ANY girl I know.

Super late watching tonight. Gemmas careful use of the word "protective" ... thats what lots of younger women say about possessive behaviour :confused: Its very clear she'll never put up with this outside the villa. Hes so much work.

They all use this word to describe them. I feel like producers tell them to avoid trigger words like gaslighting, controlling etc for legal reasons or something.

I didn’t really get the two group conversations - they felt oddly produced or something.

Surely that describes Tasha to a T.

I'm a taurus. Should I be gaslighting people? Is that where I've been going wrong?!

Taurus here too. My ex, who is an Olympic standard gaslighter, in our final argument told me that I was gaslighting him. Which was unexpected. I wasn't, of course. Oh, he's a Cancer btw.

This whole episode with Luca is quite triggering, and reminding me of a lot of the tit I ignored or brushed over for much of the 8 years my Ex and I were together. He made me feel like so many of the issues in our relationship were my fault, because of things I didn't do. Yet the main issue we had was (surprise surprise) the exact same issue he'd had with EVERY previous relationship!

Worst of it is that I loved him and would have put up with it, did put up with it, until he told me he was in contact again with someone he previously shagged behind my back (and yes I'd previously forgiven that infidelity too). And that was where I drew the line. If he'd not contacted her, or rather not told me he had, we never would have split up. Oh, and it was my fault he contacted her too, of course.
 
I think it’s worth thinking about what Gemma might consider to be normal behaviour in a relationship. She has grown up seeing her mother accept certain behaviour from her father. Cheating. An alleged gambling addiction. Her father also has issues with jealously and admitted seeking therapy because he was jealous of Gemma and the amount of time Louise spent with her.
Jacques was her last boyfriend, need I say more? And now she’s with Luca who’s blatantly gaslighting her at every turn, he even tried to slut shame her tonight and can’t seem to contain his jealousy. The girl is only 19 and her relationship is only a few weeks old, it should be fun but she looks drained. My opinion but I look at Gemma and see a victim, she’s smart and headstrong but a victim nonetheless.

her face just looks like she has no expression on it when she’s with him. She’s fed up.

I think the original comment was aimed more at Gemma's reason for going back to him - to win, when it is a very serious reality for some people in the public. I don't think the comment was victim blaming I think it was pointing out disingenuous actions that could have an impact on vulnerable viewers.

I think Gemma likes him and isn’t sure what to make of his actions. She also has people in her ear saying his reaction is valid. It’s obvious she knows something doesn’t feel right.

Neither of the comments mention Luca’s behaviour but all Gemma’s

It’s blatant victim blaming. I’ll leave it at.

“I think Gemma should be ashamed of herself, she has no excuse for accepting being treated like this” and “She needs to take accountability for what she accepts, she isn’t at risk of any danger and could easily walk away from this” is the textbook definition of victim blaming 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m sorry but being an “influencer” does not equal being a role model lmfao. I can probably name on one hand the amount of influencers I would even consider looking up to. It’s just become a generalized term at this point.

She’s probably staying with him because it’s easier for her, meaning she won’t get the vile abuse (from both luca and the public) she would if she was to end things.
