If they’ve mentally checked out they should just leave I don’t understand what would be the point of them staying. I was hoping that Gemma would’ve got voted out savagely like they’ve done before and Luca would just leave. It sends such a bad message that Luca is still in there

If they got rid of Luca they’d have to get rid of dami too if it’s for the bullying.

Tasha never lied to Andrew. Even after the date with Charlie, Tasha spoke to Andrew about wanting to get to know other guys and his response was that that was fine because he was still open to getting to know other girls. I don't think he was, but she believed what he was saying. I think the issue is that Andrew didn't relay that conversation accurately to the other guys. He made it sound like he was 100% for Tasha and she wasn't as in to him. So Dami and Luca have been blaming Tasha ever since for something that didn't even happen.

And Tasha "being a bitch" to Andrew after not being picked by Charlie wasn't even as bad as people are making out. She was upset because Luca and Dami were rolling their eyes at her and being rude. Then she told Andrew to get off her in bed because she was upset- is it not quite normal to not want to be touched when you're in a shit mood? I'm the same 🤷‍♀️

And the whole "I don't feel like myself thing". I've said this before, but all the OG women seem less confident as the series has progressed. Maybe Tasha assumed that that was due to her couple, when actually I think something about the "vibe" in the villa is affecting them all. When they were in Casa one of the others (can't remember who but I think Ekin or Gemma?) actually said to Tasha, "we've seen a different side to you here". So she clearly was different in Casa, and probably made the (understandable) assumption that it was because of Billy Vs Andrew, rather than realising that actually she was just thriving being away from the blatant misogyny of the OG men.

Even Tasha whispering to Billy in bed was just her insecurities speaking. She was scared of committing to one guy in case it meant she was missing out on something better. I don't think that's bitchiness, I think it's the immaturity of someone who's never had a long term relationship before and is intimidated by the thought of that commitment. I think a lot of people have those fears, Tasha's just unusual in that she actually admitted it out loud 😂

I promise I'm not Tasha's dad 😂 I just think a lot of how she's been portrayed is due to Andrew not being honest about his feelings and Luca and Dami finding an excuse to be dicks to someone.

ETA- Omg I'm sorry I didn't realise this was so long 😂 I'm just filling the time until I have to rinse my hair dye out.

Tasha cleary sneaked a phone in... 🤣

She's going to do very, very well out of the show...by far the best since Molly-Mae. Yes the influencer culture has largely peaked but there's still room for the 'higher end'.

She'll bag the PLT contract and be very selective with what deals she takes. She isn't going to be a typical influencer promoting left, right and centre thanks largely to the family wealth she already has. I'm interested to see how she shows money going forward because to her a Range Rover is like a Corsa, no big deal whereas other reality influencers act like they've won the Euromillions.

The most interesting potential for her success is her swimwear and just how well it will do. The insta account will have 50k followers in a week's time without any real promotion and I do like the high-price tag as opposed to the cheap tat that is everywhere - Remember people mocking Tommy Mallet for his high-price shoes?

Charlotte Crosby had a hell of a run, Molly-Mae is having a hell of a run and I predict Gemma will join these two.

Honestly I can’t tell if you’re being serious anymore or just taking the piss 😂
 
Tasha looked stunning last night but the date was so cringey. That jacket Andrew was wearing 😂😂 not the look for you pal.
Gemma and Lucas date, sorry but I was giggling my way through, it was like a first date of people who’d just met and very awkward
He’s going to left on the tarmac at the airport with any luck.

Is anyone else still really confused about why they bought Adam back? Is it a producer plant? Is it because they thought he'd shake it up? Why him?

My theory is they wanted him to rattle the couples and he was on for it. He wasn't to have been as bad as before but he'd generate media interest and comments and then would follow producer instruction to keep a balance of drama without causing any abuse allegations. Remember his "I haven't even got started" comment when Jacques started having a wobble? When feedback/ Women's Aid got involved about the other goobers in the villa caused waves they told Adam he can't mess any of the girls around and they changed tack to rehab and sail through to the end. They have to have a contract or paid apperance fee for Adam or else they would have let him go before Danica. It would've been hailed as a big production flop if he left then.

I was thinking the same re Adam and a paid fee/contract but then….is that not even more unfair? It’s such an advantage,

Agree though I think the producers had a planned redemption arc for jacques and Paige but didn’t factor in him coming across unhinged, having a breakdown and her getting the ick.

I think I'll nick that and drop that bomb into the dating advice thread sometime. See what the reaction is when that argument's made in favour of a man :)

Yeah it'd be unfair but they are prob all NDAd to the hilt on what can be disclosed on it. I reckon some in there have management before starting the show and they're all pulling strings constantly anyway so it's never a level playing field.

100% they would've worked to keep P & J in the mix. I do believe that they kept him in longer than was reasonable as they have a track record for that.

I think fear of commitment/making the wrong decision is quite common for men and women? I was initially worried about committing to my partner(Not because of him, just because I'm the sort of person who second guesses all of my decisions) and we've been together almost ten years now.

Despite the dissertation I wrote defending Tasha earlier, I do think she was a bit of an idiot for saying that to Billy. I just don't think it's as evil as some people make it sound.

It’s really annoying, everybody on social media raves about how mature Gemma is but then their excuse for when she’s rude and generally not quite nice is ‘ShE’s OnLy 19’ like which is it?

Yeah I feel like gemma being 19 has become her defining characteristic. Molly Mae and Tommy were around that age and and I felt they came across grand? Not overly mature or immature. What were they expecting like
