Thing is, bianca isn't natural imo

Hair dyed to absolute duck kind of kills that aesthetic for me. Fake tan, nails etc.

A natural beauty would be barely there makeup, unprocessed or highly natural hair....

Bianca isn't attractive, her mouth and nose aren't quite right.

Thomas's mother is scottish and she did seem quite posh to me. Scotland has some posh ppl too who don't sound english

So Thomas and I went to a private international school together in Indonesia, and then he went back to the UK for university like most of us Brits. His Mother isn’t posh, nor is his Dad, but private education does help your accent ha. A lot of educated Scottish people have English sounding accents anyway, for example Rose Leslie.

He also stated on Insta that he's never voted Tory with everyone calling him Tory boy!

His parents are posh if they can afford to send him to a private international school 😂

The issue I personally have with JJ's excuses is what he claims his type is. Bianca's just quite a natural girl (other than makeup, she hasn't visibly had any cosmetic work done that I can see) and JJ specifically isn't attracted to that, which just gives me the creeps honestly. Something about preferring unnatural surgeries to someone who just looks the way that they look... I can't put my finger on it but it feels really weird.

He's just exaggerated that that to make Bianca feel better. If you recall early into his joining he said he was attracted to Erica as well.

It's easier for most women to accept rejection if they feel that the man has an utterly skewed perspective on beauty overall. Knowing that, he seems streetwise ENOUGH in that basic way to make it seem like it's not at all Bianca's look itself, but his personal pursuit of an entirely unobtainable look (in her case at present). Which means she was likely to get over it faster.

Most men will never outright tell a woman he is not attracted to her physically on television. It is too problematic, so many will cobble something together that softens the blow.

No doubt JJ loves a more sexual edge to a woman's looks - but I highly doubt he likes it to the extreme he said. If he didn't day that, however, Bianca likely wouldn't have been as ready to let go.

Cultural class and economic class have always been vastly different things in our country. We all know that in the UK, many can have a great deal of liquid wealth or be famous but be considered working class their entire lives because of their upbringing, mannerisms and socialisation.

So to can you be landed gentry with a roof caving in and barely anything in the bank. It's where you were born, your family line and network (educational and institutional otherwise). We aren't Americans who believe your class is entirely tied in to your financial capital.

It was designed that way in Britain for a reason, so minimal people would unsettle the status quo - even if they came into money.

Omg I've been reading the bloody (à la Mick) thread on here from 2 years ago cos I have no one to discuss it with and have to keep stopping myself replying to people from 2 years ago like "a bloody galah"! 🙈 SO much to say but it's all been said on that thread so I feel seen, I tell thee. Also, Lizzie's Halloween make up and snappy teeth fecking terrify me. Can't stand Sam but I'd have run a mile too! Bloody love Mick. Jessika has lilo lips not far off Ella's.

Old money vs new money in layman’s terms
