In contrast to Konta, Garbine hasn't won a match since Wimbledon and the way the seeds are tumbling so far...
It's gutting, but I'm trying to give Laura the benefit of the doubt, easy to get back into the tennis routine I imagine, but not so easy to close out matches after so long out with injury, little confidence and no form. As with the McHale match last week, at least she's putting herself in the position of being able to win matches. 2016 will be her year. |

Agreed about Jenna
but Farrah is amaze.The fact she was clearly saying that a straight guy and a gay guy couldn't be friends....really?! What sort of world is she living in? I'm a bi guy with a long term bf, but most of my friends are straight and sharing a bed is nothing, I would share a bed with any of my friends. Its like the whole men/women can't be friends shit. On the same topic, I would rub my friends hamstring and vice versa, but I guess thats more to do with our physio background! But Farrah is horrid, truly and awful human being. |

I'd like to agree with you but it's hard to see any positives in losing from such a big lead. Injury or not, she should have won that match.
![]() There are so much positives to be taken from that match, it is a huge fight back up, but this is definite progress. Coming back from a long time away is all about learning, and it is not something that will come quickly, I have been surprised at how well she has performed tbh this last few months, she has been way ahead of where I would have put her, and I think this is a really positive sign for her recovery and 2016! But big congrats to you Anne! I knew you would get it! Hope you had the flags in full flow during skype! I'll look forward to reading, and hopefully meeting you at London next year!

Worth noting I didn't watch it yesterday, so may have missed things. Although from the comments I've seen (on Sunday and tonight), I thought she was implying that Austin was interested in James, not that they couldn't be friends. And tbh, I think she's probably right... Austin is very... well, I'm gay and if a female friend took her underwear off in bed with me, I wouldn't be pleased
And I thought it was quite obvious that James felt uncomfortable too - especially in the bath.![]() You are gay, but would be uncomfortable if a female friend wasn't wearing underwear if in bed with you..? Why? I just don't get uncomfortableness when it's in a situ like this! I , like I said being Bi have had (a few) sexual experiences, but I have also many a time shared a bed naked/underwear with both female and male friends, with nothing more than that, because we are friends....!? James to me seems really comfortable with having Austin has his best mate, and I think that is great, but straight guys can be great mates with gay ones, but Farrah and the like are making it seem so odd and seedy, shows more about their lives I would say. I'm up to date with last nights, but not tonights yet. I go back and forth with my opinions about Jenna and Janice, but Farrah is a horrible girl through and through. |

I'd probably also feel pretty uncomfortable if a male friend did too, actually. The issue isn't them sharing a bed - the issue is Austin taking his underwear off in the bed where he is sharing bedding with James.Again, I thought it was quite obvious how uncomfortable James felt. Especially in the bath where he was, literally, squirming. Did Austin give in? Nope. He then proceeds to take his underwear off in bed with James, to which James walked off. Whilst I get that friends can massage each other and what not, it was quite clear James wasn't comfortable with the situation and this type of thing is what I've always understood Farrah to be referring to, not that she was trying to say people of differing sexualities can't be friends. |

No reason to do that unless you wanted to get jiggy with them (that's a criminally underused euphemism for sex btw, we should all be saying it more often).

My god you guys are all so sexual!
Why does being nude with another person equal sex! I just don't get it!!?!! There is nothing sexual about being naked around another person unless its in a sexual situation (And no I do not count sharing a bed with a friend a sexual situation, because it's your friend!) Okay maybe I am in a unique position but I can honestly say that I have shared my bed with girls and guys and a sexual way, and many female and male friends in a truly friendship way. It's just a bed!!! I really dont understand they way that people decide on gender and sexuality, rather than the actual people?! Why can't girls and guys be friends?! Gay guys and straight ones? Bi and straight? bi and gay! Anything!!1 James not wanting to rub Austins leg had nothing to do with him being a gay guy, like James said, he has slept next to his mates nude numerous times, but he wouldn't rub their legs. But then how does that give Farrah free game?! Anyway.... I've said my piece! To clarify...Farrah was a bitch! |

![]() Can't pretend I'm watching the show but...sharing a bed is one thing but taking your underwear off is going a bit far surely? No reason to do that unless you wanted to get jiggy with them (that's a criminally underused euphemism for sex btw, we should all be saying it more often). |

I never sleep naked even alone, so I definitely wouldn't share a bed with a friend or someone of minimal acquaintance who would choose to. I never want to see my friends naked, it'd be like seeing family naked, just wrong! I'm quite prudish, in that 'public changing room' scenario kind of way. I'd be skulking away into a private cubical and public showers would be a definite no no! Like at school, nobody ever used the showers!
On a lighter BB note - everybody needs to catch up with the utterly hilarious #ToastGate that's been happening on this hour of live feed.

And why should be we! People across Europe seem to feel no shame, and rightly so! We in the UK and in the USA even more so, seem to have this shame on our bodies brought upon us and we are taught to hide ourselves away, but why?! Why are we so ashamed of our bodies, when others aren't? If anyone hasn't watched that Channel 4 Docu Sex in Class, it is a really great docu. I grew up in the town with the highest teen pregnancy rate in western europe, and it still is - the countries with the lowest rates are Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland. Also matching in STD rates. There has to be a correlation given the statistics surely. I would like to believe that in the future we can educate our children that a) sex is nothing like the porn you might have seen b) about safe sex and contraception and c) (growing up in a Section 28 time) that being attracted to the same sex does not make you abnormal, and you have the same rights as everyone else does. It is as normal as a male/female realtionship. Well that was a big rant!!!! I didnt mean to go on so much! But all I meant to say was that- we are all human, we are all different, people are always going to have their ideals in their opinions, but who cares! We are all human, we are all unique people with different minds, experiences and bodies, but who cares! Live life for who you are, not for something you might think someone wants you to be! |
