From the Manrika / Hashu IG live:

- Hashu said his only tactic was to “kill everyone with kindness and to navigate the experience with love”
- He thought what happened to Manrika from the public is “the seed for talking about mental health and TV shows”
- Manrika and Hashu are now signed to the same management and will be making lots of content together 🥴
- When Manrika & Felix had their ‘dinner date’ the rest of the circle had a ‘date for five’ where they had to reveal secrets to each other. ‘Syed’ was telling the others how he got scammed by a Russian bride and kept over exaggerating the story just to see if people believed him (I don’t remember seeing this on TV but it’s entirely possible I was distracted keeping up with these threads!)
- Hashu didn’t use the gym until Felix came in and then he “got mad motivation” :ROFLMAO:
- Everyone has to go outside for fresh air every day. No limits to number of roof visits but had to have more than one as everyone else needs roof time.
- (Similar to Freddie S1 and James S2 before) Hashu said the rooms are boiling hot
- Manrika confirmed Hunter did send her a second video (after his video to everyone) saying he was sorry for storming out of their meet
- Manrika was 95% sure Felix was real
- She was annoyed at the meet but not hurt. Her face said it all but she wanted to listen to Felix’s reasons first before just reacting.
(although there were comments saying apparently Manrika kicked off a lot and it wasn’t televised)
- Manrika rung Natalya this week and Natalya was crying about what she did. Manrika said she was a “bad bitch that played the game well and you can’t fault yourself” and wanted to give her lots of reassurance
- Hashu feels awful about calling Vithun a snake. Based on that Wally outfit, he thought Vithun was a typical lad that went out partying for Freshers week and that’s why he didn’t like him :ROFLMAO:
- Andy came in wearing a watch which wasn’t noticed and managed to wear it for most of the time he was there. Hashu had a rough idea of time by his prayer timetable
- Their favourite characters from last season were Georgina and James. Manrika thought James’ “motivation was pure”

upcoming IG lives:
- Hashu & Andy 7pm tonight
- Manrika & Tally 7pm, Scott 8pm tonight
- Manrika and Natalya, tomorrow time TBC

Won’t be able to watch and make notes for those but hope you’ve enjoyed these 💋

You've done a great job so thank you! Just gutted I won't be able to watch the others but hope they save them
 
I think the late nights/lack of time knowledge would be a big mental fuck over. Obviously you'll have some concept because day/night (unless they relocate the flats to the arctic circle!!), but I could see me finding that hard. I'd also find the cameras on you 24/7 really hard too.

I think it would also be massively paranoia-inducing and yeah, you could easily read someone wrong as Hashu did with Vithun. The contestants don't see what we see.

I'd never go on because I'd probably have a mental breakdown.

I don’t get it

I don’t understand the pure hatred Manrika has got compared to nothing that Natalya felix got. A part of me genuinely believe this is due to underlying misogyny and racism in our society .. do you not agree. I mean felix played a dirty game getting a circle gf really early on and playing on her emotions and getting her into a relationship

I was wondering if manrika had of came across more likable would felix/natalyia be getting more hate? I feel like people gave her a pass because manrika was so unlikeable. I do think felix took it a bit to far. I don't understand how people can be bothered to send hate seems like so much effort. I think this site is different because they don't have to look at this page like it's not being sent directly to them.

I loved season one, especially Chris. His Insta stories are great.

I love Chris! I watch his insta stories all the time. They are so wholesome or something. I think he's such a sweetheart!

I see your point however don't agree re: sexism and misogyny. I was a manrika fan until she developed the weird vendetta against Gemma then backstabbed Tally. She was overly two faced and bitchy, I don't think she has a good soul. People who have come across people like her, who you never know where to you stand with know how shit it feels.

I do feel for Nataya, but she's right, she wouldn't have lasted as herself, sadly. And it took the both of them to intensify that relationship, as weird as it was. I do think you’re right, she would have had more shit if she was a man or manrika had been a kinder character. I will say though that Natalya seemed genuinely conflicted often, yet manrika didn't appear to are about others.

Manrika has to accept that she played the game and so did Natalya.

Regarding racism, (don't want to come across offensive at all) I don't personally believe it did affect things, certainly not for myself. Hashu was my favourite and manrika was my least favourite, based on their personalities and how they treated others.

Edit: just to add to my essay. I thought James was a dick last year, didn't think he was a great person. And I didn't agree with any hate Manrika is getting directly. We can have opinions, but here is the only place on the internet I would voice them.
 
I'm sorry if I sound like a dick but all these instagram lives they're doing are ridiculous & super self-indulgent. They've been on a game show, not an overly popular game show either, as far as I know like, but they're acting like they've all suddenly rose to Hollywood level fame, or something. It's a bit much really; especially for Shabaz, Joey & Pippa...

100% agree with you. Sorry to be blunt but misogyny and racism don't come into it all, Manrika simply came across as quite a nasty and unlikeable person.
