Yep it is, your comments re Jess were unkind, after all it's only a game-show. It would be nice to hear if you have anything positive to say about the show/the contestants. My view is that it's all a load of set up rubbish but I enjoy watching it in the evening. There must be someone in there you like?

Seeing as you're so into body image, I'm sure anything I suggest would be wrong.

Why so defensive? It's a discussion about a TV show, not criticising the way the young girls bodies look. The weight comment from sarah was an observation, not a put down. Your reply criticising the way Naomi's body looked, was a put down. Then your comment above.. you're probably having a bad day. But chill. There's terrible things happening in the world. No need to be so defensive
You don't get to moderate my posts, sorry.

Let's not be so nasty towards each other. Not necessary.

If people want to say not so nice things about the people who willingly decided to go on a reality show they can is my opinion. If you can't handle it please do never visit the BB board.

A very quick vT of what happened on the nights apart. Girls had butlers.

Cut to clip of all house playing game of guess what happened next.

The clip they showed was of Hannah right up to the point where she gets her boobs out. Jon not Happy, Hannah accusing him of not being happy Jon denying that he's not happy.

Everyone looking scared /sheepish about what they've done.

Glad to hear it, if it's vote to evict I might even pick up the phone myself
The poll on the website is 78% that Max should stick with Jess.

I admit I've watched every minute.

Definitely prefer it to BB where freaks and oddballs are chosen and sold as sympathy cases but are actually cast to deliberately to provoke fights within 48 hrs.

Credit to Iain Stirling whose voiceovers may be partially or entirely scripted but I admit he does make me laugh by walking the tightrope between mockery and occasional sympathy.

For a show about coupling up Lauren has been riding her luck since day one but fair play to her.

Hannah is so OTT I can't help but like her. True confession: I'd seen her social media stuff but assumed she was just another Essex girl. You can imagine my surprise when I heard the ultra-Scouse.

Jon can't believe his luck and at least has admitted as much. As previously stated many times, Jon is a stirrer and these dim lads haven't worked it out yet. Josh is a plonker but the producers seem to focus on him for long stretches. Jon winds Josh up and away he goes.

Jess is more sinned against than sinner but the other girls seem content to let her be the chief javelin-catcher whenever bad moods circulate through the house.

Naomi is so photogenic I do a double-take whenever she's on camera. But I admit her flirt routine is so practised it's almost mechanical. But it clearly hasn't failed her yet and how could it?

Zoe's looks are so intriguing - becoming a model was inevitable. Some older photos show her as a brunette but this platinum blonde look suits her. Short hair is my weakness.

I don't think he's a bad person but Jordan represents everything trendy that I dislike especially the madness with the ears which will leave them looking like dog chew toys.

As above I don't want a complete BB ripoff but even these hedonists will be dead bored with swimming and sun after 6 weeks. The producers need to give them some more activities and challenges.

Lol it looks like Max is moving on from Jess to Naomi too. Queen Naomi wins again!

I love how people here make it seem like Naomi steals every guy Jess is interested in. They DON'T HAVE TO GO WITH NAOMI. They CHOSE Naomi over Jess. Maybe Jess is just not that interesting? Why is everyone blaming Naomi?

Unlike Jess, Naomi is pretty, intelligent and eloquent girl who could have a bright future ahead. Let's be real, Jess is probably gonna be a Page 3 model until she's like 32 and can't work anymore and then she will just marry a rich guy.

I respect Naomi way more and think she's by far the most attractive girl on there (in every aspect).

But all the Naomi haters should relax, she's clearly going home this week if there is a public vote. All I can do is hope the producers realize Naomi is the star of the show and the only one causing some of sort of drama in there and don't do a public vote this week. Or if there is a public vote, make it a Power Couple vote or a Vote To Save. A Vote To Evict would result in Naomi's departure.

She could avoid it by keeping quiet about wanting Jess' new man.

We all know what the game is but let's be honest Naomi is playing it really badly if she wants to win.

You have to actually win the love of the GBP to win, not win most of the boys. The way she's behaving she's handing the win to Jess on a plate.

As for the boys you can check my postings, I blame them as much as her for how Jess is treated. As you say if it's a vote to evict Max may well have sealed his own eviction and he'll deserve it if he does.

The way to win in this show is to yes try and find love, but don't F*** people over if you can help it, always be nice and kind.

What bothers me most about Naomi is that she marked Luis as no go because of Cally who'd been there for all of a day and haven't declared by/gf yet, but Max is fair game??? Even though Jess has told her she really likes Max. And don't forget this was before her chat with Max and knowing what he thinks about it. Purely based on a chat with Jess she decided that she didn't give a stuff about Jess' feelings, she was going for it.

The way Naomi could have actually won the game or played it better to last longer, would have been to stick with Josh come hell or high water based on the fact she "stole" him. to get the GBP to support her they'd want to know she'd done it with good honest intentions, not that he was a passing fancy or the girl she thought she'd be safe to steal from. It's a legitimate way to win. If Cally hadn't come in I've no doubt that Luis would continue with best friend Lauren and probably win on being a likeable couple.

She had no hankering for Max until Jess got in there and she realised that they were looking a good couple and that Josh is Boring and not particularly nice and he'd probably cost her the win.

At the end of the day it's a personality contest and you either have principles or you don't. You can't say you'd never go there because of one girls feelings but completely ignore another girls!

Again it comes down to she's bored of Josh and she wouldn't dare do it to another girl butJess doesn't matter because they all think Jess is disliked. That's what I have a problem with, she has principles except when it comes to Jess and her feelings.

I do admit though she's a great character though, I find her fascinating. I thought it was genius how she made Josh believe he'd done the breaking up and now she'll probably get Max to dump Jess, without getting her own hands dirty.

But I honestly don't think Naomi is doing all this to win the show. It seems pretty obvious to them that Jon and Hannah are unbeatable, I think they've all come to terms with it.

Naomi is just enjoying her stay. I don't think she's interested in Max just because he's with Jess. If you go back and watch the 1st or 2nd day Max is there, Naomi actually says he's her type and could see her with him. That was before Max got with Jess.

I don't think Naomi has jealousy issues with Jess, the boys clearly prefer her and most people would say Naomi is better looking than Jess, so there is no reason for her to be jealous of Jess or have any kind of vendetta against her.

I honestly think Naomi is just having fun, but since she's the prettiest girl there, she gets to pick who she wants, which doesn't happen for the other girls, so that's why they dislike her so much.

And I agree with you that the best way to win this show is to be nice, kind and stick to the same guy/girl for the duration, but THAT'S SO BORING. Naomi/Jess (more so Naomi) are making the show. There would no drama without them except boring Jon & Hannah fights.

I'm actually glad there's someone like Naomi in there to spice things up.

I agree it's good to have her in there, (although I think Jess is the one making the show not Naomi) but actually I would find it far more fun to watch, if Max bucks the trend, sticks with Jess and Naomi is forced to stay coupled with Josh till the next eviction.

We've seen Queen Bee Jess get pied, mugged off and whatever else. I'd quite like to see how Naomi handles it rather than see it happen to Jess again.

The only good bit is that Josh has had to feel what Jess felt, so I hope we see a big fat apology at the way he treated her as he pretty much told her not to be a d1ck approximately 30 seconds after Naomi had chosen him.

Also it's not so much stick to the same couples for the duration, that gets you the win: Jordan and Zoe, Luis and Cally, Jess and Max, none are on their first/only partner so I don't think the pairings we have are boring at all.

It's your personality, how you work as a couple, how you are with the group, naomi has played this element really badly, and if she is just in there for fun, she'd better off just having fun sticking in a couple with Josh and enjoying herself as she's far more likely to last longer. Especially as I highly doubt her and Max are going to be a long term thing or even carry on after the show.

I agree with every word of this and if the excellent Naomi goes I will probably stop watching.

As for Jess, there has been a change in her apart from the weight gain. She seems to have lost the freshness and fun youthfulness she had to begin with. That kind of aura she had was very attractive, it's hard to describe. But it's not there now.
