I'm so not sure how Maddy is surviving, but I did see the Nicole elimination coming, I just wasn't sure if it'd be her or Maddy first.

Yeah, I suppose Maddy still has to have the alleged fight that they may not show, so she has to make it back to the mansion. This season sucks, I really hope it improves when they get back to face to face. And I liked Nicole, I hope she makes it to BIP, but I fear there are too many big personalities to get in ahead of her

that was a mercifully short episode ... these zoom episodes just don't do it for me, as I suspected. I can barely stay interested even while also playing games on my phone while I watch

It all feels so super, painfully fake and manufactured at this point. I refuse to believe he's with any of them for real. For show, sure, maybe, but it won't last.

I ended up really liking Nicole, would love to see her find someone on BiP.

Some interesting stats tonight. Irena lost over 700 followers, people seem to be siding with Bella on that "fight". Juliette also lost followers. Bec increased a lot more than I expected - the girls night one jumped maybe a few hundred followers, not over 1,000 - but she did come across well tonight, I'll give her that. Nicole's increase surprised me, she wasn't shown that much and was eliminated..




Speaking of Nicole being eliminated..

Wow Bec certainly came off very different than she does on Insta. She actually seemed quite nice and nervous, definitely not a camera natural like Bella.

Ooops I missed the entire episode  Will catch up tomorrow.  Those stats are interesting @butterflylove - only a small increase for Bella this week after weeks of thousand-follower jumps.  Maybe she knows she's being watched.

Nicole probably took herself out, considering this had already dragged out for MONTHS.  Only the most commited famewh*res would be prepared to trek back to NSW for what they must have realised by this point was a dud lead, IMO.

Your interest would seriously wane after 3 months apart I reckon, especially if you could see that he was more interested in other girls. And you're already home, so easy to just nope out and stay there, it's not like leaving the mansion.

Maybe that's just me and my laziness talking though

Next Wed episode is the first group date after lockdown. So is tonight episode another long drawn out cocktail party?

According to TV guide, next Thurs episode is down to 5 girls. So 4 girls gone in 2 episodes.

I think Bec will go further than F5 imo, especially after seeing her introduction and Locky's reaction to her.  Reminds me of Lana actually, so I would not be surprised if she is F2.  I know Bella is rumoured to be, but who started the rumour  The more Bella is being pushed as F2, the more I don't believe it .

I've just been catching up and I'm wondering how on earth does Irena win this thing. I've yet to see a great connection between them and we're 9 episodes in( unless their lockdown phone calls and messages were amazing)

I don't see him connecting with any of them. He's EXACTLY the same with ALL of them. He is pure player. I still think he has a great presence on screen but a) I don't think there's much going on upstairs and b) dude is 10000% not ready to settle down.

For his choice to be real in any way, major stuff must happen once they return to the mansion.

I've had Bec penciled in as F3 since the pap pics came out indicating she gets two dates post-lockdown (rafting and beach) but if they want Bella as next Bette, F3 would be a better time for her to leave.  

That said, Sportsbet have Bec at 10.00 - longer odds than Steph who we know doesn't even make Top 5 - and TAB don't have her listed at all.  So I still think it's probably Irena F1 Bella F2 and Bec F3.

@leavers - Spot on assessment, Locky is not the worst Lead we've had from a watchability perspective, but I see no genuine connections whatsoever and IMO Irena was just easiest to work with.
