He’s got his game face on now with his partner in crime Malika.They know Ann is on course for the win but it blew up in his face in the form of the legendary Amanda Barrie.
Wayne was having none of his nonsense either.

Good on those two

What will Shane J try next?

He has a new face to add to his collection, Smacked arse.

I got that one one - infarct it never leaves me

Agree. I thought he would have been above such an obvious plan. I still have to question Wayne and Amanda in this. I dont see why they cant be friends with Ann and still challenge some of her views and her voting record

I don’t see why they should have to.They take people as they find them and judge them on that.Amanda and Ann have become good friends.She doesn’t need to start bringing up Anns past.
Wayne showed that he won’t fall for Shane J’s nonsense too.

This exactly. Why should they have to make some sort of issue about her historic government voting. Ann has been retired for years. It isn't something she should have to explain over and over again.

They have risen above all this controversy, found Ann to be a pleasant companion and enjoy her company.

There is a lot to say about letting bygones be bygones and getting on with everybody. It makes a happier world.

Very true but is Ann making such an effort to fit in and get on with everyone?

I think she is doing her best, in fact I am quite amazed at what she is actually doing.

This eye rolling nonsense, if they found a funny way to deal with it and josh her, she would see a funny side. Instead, they take offence, use it against her and there really is no need. Ashley and Jess deal with her beautifully and it is good to see

If Shane J could just get off his soapbox, unwind his neck, stop being such a pain about his causes, it would be a happier house.

For a while

Got to hand it Ann she is doing well in tasks and clearly has a lot of respect in the house.

She has. She seems to get along fine with everyone who isn't going out of their way to provoke and isolate her.

yes she is...didn't you see her asking Shane about Courtney and telling him to wear something more comfortable because she was obviously in some discomfort with his outfit...
That's someone making an effort.

..yeah I have to say that was something I found quite interesting actually...the most comfortable comments...(...because I’m sometimes thinking things like ..is it that she’s not comfortable seeing him in drag as Courtney and hmmm...)...anyways, I’m starting to think that perhaps it’s less that reason and more (...not only the comfort thing..)..but that she also likes to see what she feels is a ‘modest’ dress wear, rather than a sexier one because drag queens are very sexy in their clothing without any thought of comfort.....I think it’s something I could imagine her having said to one of the younger females as well if they had said an outfit hadn’t been comfortable...because I think comfort would be the prime thing with Ann and ‘suitable’ clothing...it might only seem like a small comment but for me it was quite large in a way of possible explanations and perceptions...

I don't know why he is still pursuing this topic. He has made his views on it clear previously and, in my view, doesn't need to keep raising it. He has achieved his aim of educating people, which is commendable, but is not going to change the views of Wayne and Amanda at this stage.

You're right, his plan was a poor one and did backfire on him. He did himself no favours tonight.

I think he has lost his way since losing the lads and isn't sure of his place in the house now.

[empire]

wayne hit the mark on it being a soapbox, and shane has done nothing but bring identity politics into the house and its boring me, ann has done nothing to him, she has never once been nasty or vindictive to him, he has this ventdatta towards her just because she voted in the past against gay marriage, what shane fails to understand that if you asked the whole country that do they agree on something like gay marriage, and nothing is 100 percent in this world, no one is going to agree to the same thing, not everyone is going to like the same food to eat, shane seems very detached from reality, he wants everyone to agree to this pro lgbt rights, what will it do for ann nothing, it won't improve her life.

I'm glad Wayne is separating himself from Shane J's BS now .
For a second i thought he was going to go along with his nonsense after that drunken session when him & Shane J were slagging Ann off .

But i'm glad he's seeing Shane J as the arsehole he is , and Amanda can see exactly what Shane J is doing by targeting Ann and i love how she defended Ann , she even bluntly said to Shane J "you're not even in a civil partnership" .

And she clocked him with his deliberate wardrobe malfunction when he entered which he clearly did for attention .

[Vanessa]

He's just being himself. What you see is what you get with him. And I love the way he's always calm and reasonable during debates. He never shouts or screams, never agrressive or even passive aggressive like amanda was last night.

[Vanessa]

Amanda high fiving Ann after the argument was particularly pathetic. Considering she herself had been bitching about Shane previously with wayne. Hypocrite.

It wasn't pathetic . I like the fact that Amanda & Ann have bonded so well together , Shane J is always bitching about Ann to the point where it's nauseating to listen to .

He's always making digs at her like she's abused him , he exaggerates every action she does and holds it against her . Amanda hit the nail on the head with his behaviour.

It wasn't pathetic at all. It was a charming moment.

Bitterness is never a good look, maybe it's time everyone got over Andrew and moved on..

[Vicky.]

Fairly sure Shane thought it was a foolproof plan and he would be able to pull it off I reckon he might also think it was not transparent to the viewers and that he had made it look like genuine concern or something, rather than just bitching and trying to make her look bad. Only person he made look bad was himself tbh, kinda disappointed in him

I was disappointed too as I hoped away from Andrew we'd see a glimpse of that great open guy who seemed to be there at first. The one who was relaxed and live and let live. Where has he gone?

[chuff me dizzy]

How arrogant of him to think everyone would back him up .... You could see the realisation hit him when he knew no one ( part from equally evil ) Malika was taking him on, and watch her drift away quickly when she see its her and him against the house

he and Malika are now the popular ones in the house


Ashley had no right at all to turn against Malika but then maybe ashley thinks she can't win anyway, and wants to go out in style on Tuesday
