That's very sad. I know it's just a game. It should be clear to them, if it's it by now, that no one's loyalty can be taken for granted and that no one else's alligences can he assumed.

Hopefully it's Manrika who Tally went to see. If it turns out to be Andy then it's going to be a very anti-climatic start to the next episode.

Tally just didn’t make enough effort with the others. She barely knew Andy or Vithun and didn’t get to know the newbies at all. And then she kissed Manrika off in that last chat. She’s overstayed her welcome and was pretty much riding on one friendship and the clone saga.

And yet she has more going for her than Dot.

 

It was interesting to see that every player has a different perception of other players' relationships. And following from that, had different expectations on who would block Tally and who wouldn't.

 

Did they do this in previous series? It's a excellent way of shaking up everyone's perceptions of other players.

Yeah they’ve kind of done this every series. The first 2 are available on Britbox right now.

 

I know Tally had more going for her than Dot but she’d been in longer, Dot May up her game now whereas Tally has had more time and hasn’t really ventured forward from screaming ‘geezergals!’

I'm surprised but in a good way at Tally being blocked. She was a pawn who as mentioned by someone else, is just extremely gullible and follows any opinion and accusation. I warmed to her at times but I couldn't see her going much further unless she got dragged along.

 

My god I cannot STAND James (Gemma), literally bordering on the same level as James (Sammie) from last year. I get it, it's a game show, but his tactics make so little pleasure of viewing for me. He acts like a PE teacher in school and speaks with so little warmth. Just hope that the facade wraps up soon and they send him packing because if he wasn't immune in these ratings then he surely would have been sent.

 

On the flip side I stan Manrika after a shaky start, she's invested in the game but you can tell she's a lovely girl with some depth when she shuts up about the "geezer girl xxx" shit. Scott (Dot) is so lovely :wub: but he needs to up his game big time and show more dimensions within the boundaries of sounding like an 85 year old if he wants to last much longer because he was lucky not to go today. I kind of think he'd do better if he was just playing himself. Also really warming to Natalya (Felix) too but she's already causing divides and I don't know if that could bite her on the arse eventually.

I actually love Natalya. Very subtle. Often says what I'm thinking.

I love that Natalya has driven such a wedge through the relationships. It’s often been hard to split up the OGs in this game so it’s good to see it mixed up this time round.

 

I’m in two minds about Manrika, I’m largely rooting for her but I don’t get where her head was at with the Tally thing. She was saying she felt awful and it was a mistake yet didn’t do anything to rectify that and was actually the cause of Tally going, even taking away that she ranked her last. Tally was an easy vote/person on her side so I think it will go against her, especially as it makes her lose Gemma as well (where the non-reciprocal relationship was great for her game).

 

I felt bad for Tally but I don’t think she ever fully got what the game was, she never focused on building those allies up. She had Manrika and Gemma but it didn’t appear that she pushed for anything further. It seemed she waited for people to come to her rather than going to them. Maybe the clone thing wore her down. Also, I didn’t appreciate the way she said ‘I have no interest in seeing Vithun’, I think the way she chose her pictures etc feels reminiscent of a ‘popular girl’ at school.

Yeah what Tally said about Vithun felt odd. I can't recall her ever having problems with Vithun before or him attacking her in any way to prompt that statement that she made.

That’s my issue with her too - she had her entertaining moments but she really does seem ingenuine and at some point I think she would have snaked Manrika in favour of Gemma so I’m glad she’s gone.

I think I always subconsciously side with the people who enter a reality tv competition like this at the start.

Tally seemed to think she could win with her personality but she barely had one of her own. Her comments on Vithun and her pictures do feel ‘popular girl at school’ and yet in the first episode she says that she wasn’t, she was more of a misfit.

 

Anyway I’m still team Manrika though I suspect she’ll fall in popularity now. Instead of blindly rating depending on who said they had her back every other minute, she’s playing to win and judging based on her interactions. Unfortunately for Tally, that last interaction before ranking was quite a controlling one.

2 new players join tonight!

Tally became such a chore to watch I'm glad she went, she's the sort of person in the office you'd walk the other way to avoid letting on.

 

The best moment for me so far during this weeks episodes was Vithun putting anonymous comment stirring things right up, which is what we need!

 

Andy gets on my nerves, you're on a game of course people are going to be snakey and not genuine.

Preview suggests Tally went to see

Manrika which I’m excited for, we’ll see how much she tells her!

That was the most likeable Tally’s been in a while.

Very curious as to what Gemma reveals later on!

I don’t care what Gemma does, just want them out. No thought out into the catfish other than ‘everyone loves the NHS’ and he’s really irritating when speaking aloud, even more so than the others.

It seems like Gemma is going to reveal to Andy that he’s really James which is a dumb move and game play I don’t see how it will benefit him .

The truth sounds even more like a lie.
