I'm sure he's nice but... can we have an oddball please?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Yes, but they need players with the weight/strength in certain positions

[Benjamin]

[Kate!]

It's nice to see someone excited. Bless her

Yass I love her

[Josiah.]

The ITV Reality YouTube channel is running a live stream of the live launch. This means viewers outside the UK can stream it. So it would not surprise me if the rest of the series (and live feeds) gets shown this way.

[Barry.]

Vanessa has a favourite me thinks

[Maru]

Making some Swiss Miss

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

She has sex with pans

Sure luv

I heard it's almost like doing it with an American pie

[Benjamin]

Nancy coming as a curtain tassle

[OnTheRight]

3RD Nancy


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality

[Ammi]

I thought that too but I didn’t want to offend him lol

…did he not say that he was gay or bi…?…

[thesheriff443]

Nancy ticking all the sexual boxes

[Adamw92]

Nancy is gonna be argumentative I reckon

[bots]

She has sex with pans

Sure luv

pans sexual

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Omg she's Italian!

Enjoy. I wanted an Italian man though.

I hope she doesn't bring you shame

[Shaun]

[Vanessa]

I think she's going to be good.

[A8473]

Oh I really like Nancy!!!!

[Maru]

First boot please :love:

[Vicky.]

She looks absolutely off her tits...

[Barry.]

I’m still a minute behind, is Nancy fun?

[AnnieK]

She's a giddy kipper :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Ciao :blush:

[Maru]

I’m still a minute behind, is Nancy fun?

They handed her the eyeball. She's very screamy

[Barry.]

…did he not say that he was gay or bi…?…

I zoned out of his :joker:

[Ammi]

I’m still a minute behind, is Nancy fun?

…yes, she looks fun…:love:..

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Ciao :blush:

Buonasera.

But I'm confused is she also Spanish?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nancy ticking all the sexual boxes

Give her 10 years and she will be married to a man with 2 kids living in Surrey

[Barry.]

They handed her the eyeball. She's very screamy

Just saw it lol she’ll be either annoying or fun

[Ammi]

I zoned out of his :joker:

….ooops, you missed the gays…:laugh:…

[arista]

pans sexual

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality

[Adamw92]

Does someone’s eye contain an eviction notice perhaps? Or everyone gets a housemate status in theirs apart from 1?

[DanielM787]

I don’t know why but Gani gives me Shahbaz vibes, Cameron looks like he will be so dull, should we vote him out?

[joeysteele]

Nancy seems like she'll make a lot of noise.
Seems okay too.

Not sure about Cameron.

[Barry.]

So out of the 3 who do we think has the better chance of going tonight? I think Nancy

[Vanessa]

Buonasera.

But I'm confused is she also Spanish?

I think she speaks several languages.
But is Italian, I think

[Kate!]

Gani is giving me Sree flashbacks

[Barry.]

Gani is giving me Sree flashbacks

I liked Sree so maybe I’ll like Gani, if he stays tonight

[Vanessa]

So far Nancy my favourite.

[Benjamin]

Does someone’s eye contain an eviction notice perhaps? Or everyone gets a housemate status in theirs apart from 1?

If so seems a bit unfair seeing as we have no idea if the eye was drawn randomly.

[AnnieK]

If so seems a bit unfair seeing as we have no idea if the eye was drawn randomly.

Was just going to say that. Its not transparent enough to be that straightforward

[Maru]

Gani is giving me Sree flashbacks

Nancy is giving me Shreeee vibes

[Maru]

If so seems a bit unfair seeing as we have no idea if the eye was drawn randomly.

Very ballsy of them

[Adamw92]

If so seems a bit unfair seeing as we have no idea if the eye was drawn randomly.

Maybe they’ll get the opportunity to swap with someone before they open them?

[Benjamin]

Was just going to say that. Its not transparent enough to be that straightforward

I reckon they may have to bowl/throw them and those furthest away from the goal are in danger.

[Barry.]

So far Nancy my favourite.

Am I shocked, no :joker:

[Barry.]

Bad boyfriends? Looks shite

[Benjamin]

Bad boyfriends? Looks shite

Who honestly watches that shite lol

[Ammi]

…why are eyes so important …Will the evicted housemat(s) go into another house to spy…

[Shaun]

oh MOTHER?
