Ridiculous! Did they say the same about Ellie T yesterday or Tony a few weeks ago? Course not!

And there was nothing more manipulative than last year. I had to skip some of the Rose Giovanni stuff cause of the gushing about how lovey they were while theres a bts video of him calling her a stupid cow when he thought she couldn't hear him.

oh yes I remember that! It was very weird, like he was kinda of joking but it was a bit too aggressive and Kai looking really shocked.

Wasn’t this when she was messing about teaching him cheeky phrases in sign language and didn’t she post that video? Gio’s a dick but I don’t think for a minute he was verbally abusing Rose behind the scenes.

No it was an end of a trainning day insta story. it was very quickly deleted but picked up on here and DS at the time.
He was just being a bit of a prick and the mask slipped a bit but no he wasn't abusing her.
I think it was Gio who posted it at the time it was speculated Kai probably talked him into deleting it because he looked so uncomfortable and caught off guard.

TBF I am pretty sure 'stupid cow' was about Maura as they broke up a couple of days later... But yes, he milked (and is still milking that 'romance')

Ooh I found the video that was posted here last year. Gio was raging!

It was Rose who posted it but of course the mental DS lot claimed that Kai had a serious sit down talk with Gio over it 😂 This was all over twitter at the time and also again months later and if you watched the previous stories that day Rose had been teaching Gio funny words/insults (stupid cow inlcuded), hence the video of him saying it. It was never that deep but of course people saw it and ran with it.

Yes earlier in the day they had been doing that but that was earlier. Just to be clear I do not think he was being abusive, being a bit of a prick for a minute doesn't make one abusive.
 
It's funny how we see personas differently. Fleur doesn't come across feisty, uber confiden or arrogant to me at all. She comes across enjoying strictly like most of the others (not you whingey Will).

And she shows a sweet side when she'd doing a dance to whatever fave song or character (not that I like that whole "my dream come true" stuff - but she does it with heart)

He’s no angel but I don’t think for one minute that Gio was actually being rude. The insta story was set up the same way that 99% of their cringe stories were 😂

I did wonder at the time if it was a set up for Kai because he didn't seem to be in on it. But then it was deleted and never mentioned again. I suspect they realised whatever was the intention it didn't hit the mark.

I understand that people have their opinions but it’s crazy to me that someone is classed as being full on or cocky just because they have a bit of personality about them. Personally I would rather watch someone who’s excited about the whole experience than someone who isn’t invested and shows no enthusiasm 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rose posted it. Her and Aj were hiding to jump out and scare Gio and Kai. Unfortunately they caught Gio saying where is this stupid cow? Kai looked shocked cause they jumped out at them. It was taken down within minutes because they realised what was being said. And then she posted a video where she was supposedly teaching him rude phrases.
Of course I don't think he was abusing her behind the scenes. But I just don't think it was all sweetness and light like everyone was being led to believe.

Idk, to me the whole thing looked setup to try and be funny but people just took it the wrong way. Their annoying set up insta stories were so irritating and the facebook aunties all loved them 😂

I thought the first insta story when they were told to be on socials more was funny, but I got irritated by them very quickly!
I didn't think the rude one looked set up at all and to me that's backed up by whipping it down instead of making it look like a joke. The teaching rude phrases one was clearly set up.
I do think he was just being grumpy that day although I'm still not ok with him saying that.

exactly!

a female celeb has to be: good but not know how good she is. sweet but not sickly. humble but not overly humble because that seems fake. nice but not too nice because that seems fake. confident but not too confident because that seems arrogant. love her family but not mention them too much because ew trying to manipulate us.

a male celeb has to be: fun and good vibes, bless him, look at his little face etc.

I haven’t voted for Fleur for no other reason than my votes are there to be ‘won’ on the night and there are so many strong characters this year with various reasons, I’ve voted for other people - it doesn’t mean I hate Fleur or anyone else for any nefarious reason and I hope I’m not alone in that.

She hasn’t deserved to be in the dance off and she certainly has not deserved any of the carry on about the fall. I’m not sure what I’m trying to say and I know it’s social media (which can be a complete cesspit) people are talking about…I guess I’m just not loving the idea that even here, if you don’t vote for someone you’re a woman hating bigot when the reality is, I’ve got a personal connection (not them as people but their experience - AA/Tony for example) to a couple of the dancers and Hamza just makes everything seem ok in the world for a while. It’s ok for someone, male or female, to not be your cup of tea.
