RedTwoster Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 So…is anyone else watching this year? I’m not sure there’s ever been a housemate who I actively dread watching in the way I do Marcelo. I cringe in advance of him speaking. I also don’t understand the yearly chat of ‘X is being so fake because they’re nice to everyone’ - especially when it comes from a psychologist. Pretty much everyone regulates what they say, if we didn’t behave in a diplomatic way or hold back, the atmosphere would be very toxic. I can’t decide what I make of Lily, and whether or not she’s playing to the camera. I just can’t buy her mixing up ‘psychologist’ and ‘psychic’ - that seemed very deliberate, particularly since she seemed to show understanding of Ali’s career at an earlier point.

Yes...alongside picking her nose and eating it. 14 hours ago, RedTwoster said: So…is anyone else watching this year?

I agree with your comments on being nice to everyone, I find it odd Ali is picking Khaled up on this when she's very self-aware of how she's coming across too. I think Lily's comment referred to the task where they did the talent show. Ali did a mind-reading bit (this was on the live feed) where 2 housemates got on stage and had to write down housemate names to questions she was asking, she got everything right. They cut that out of the highlights show but that's why she thinks Ali is psychic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cringe in advance of him speaking. I could have forgiven Marcelo if he was a young lad, maybe being naive, mischievous etc but just saw on the previous page that he's in his 30's which makes everything he says much more worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwoster Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Last night’s show was an odd one, to the point I’m wondering how much is edited out. I realise that every emotion is going to be heightened in such a restricted environment, but Daze’s reaction to Nathan’s relatively tame defence of Khaled seemed disproportionate. And he was kind of right, there was little value in making Khaled feel bad about it, particularly after Martha stormed off - a reaction I do understand, in the heat of the moment. Calling what Nathan said ‘a vicious attack’ was odd, and I understand his objection to those words, given that second hand information could then make him look bad in the eyes of people who didn’t see what he said. Martha got my votes to go. Out of all of the people up for eviction, she’s the least interesting. And I also find her mildly irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) All these rule breaks are winding me up and the punishments seem quite tame both last year and this year. Would have been great if Lily & Martha's rule breaks would have resulted in a double or even triple eviction, if they are worried about the number of housemates throw some more in, just this whole sitting in a cage or being tied to the stairs seems really tame and boring. Would have been great to really get serious and even better if 2/3 were going in this weeks eviction, especially as I can't stand pretty much all the girls up for eviction this week. Also Ali is very calculating and comes across manipulative in almost everything she says and does, even with the nominations she was wearing a 'Trans are Humans' T-Shirt in a way where in her mind she wants to appeal and be winning more votes, then a happy face T-Shirt later on when she's in the diary room saying she's going this week, maybe I am overthinking it, just find it really odd behavior. Edited October 15 by Briefcase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
