Jonathan and Zac discussed the fact that she would probably want to know him now. There was general banter between Jonathan and Zac about texting her [said in a way of rubbing it in]. They agreed that if he did that it would open the door to her getting back in touch with him.
Zac was quick to point out to Jonathan that this may not be a good thing as he had met someone else [Chan] and was keen to see where that would lead. [Later on he also said to Liam that getting back with his ex was not on he said and I quote "that glass is well broken" he wanted to see how he and Chanelle made a go of it outside].”
He said "I've come in here & I've not been shy" and my opinion is that was that he got with Chanelle partly to make his ex jealous, (also partly for the bet with his mates - and for many other reasons too). He said in his last text to his ex that she would regret it (ie having dumped him).
It was clear in this conversation how hung up Z still was on his ex - and it was Jonathan who persuaded him not to text her as soon as he got out, but to play it cool.
Jonathan reassured Ziggy that his ex would definitely be watching him on BB - which Z seemed really pleased about.
The fact that he was thinking so much about his ex - at the supposed height of his passion for Chanelle was, to me, telling, and slightly bothered me, and other posters commented the same. However I'm sure that you interpreted it that he's hopelessly in love with Chanelle & wants to marry her...
His ex, for her part, said in her interview, that he was trying to make her jealous by flirting with Chanelle & she wasn't his type at all. Ok so she's partly jealous - but she does know him better than we do. And he being a middle class boy from Totteridge, of which I know many, not living that far from there, I don't think Chan's his type either.
