Yes, my immediate thought also was that James was referring to Saira.
As for Aubrey, I watched the usa celeb Apprentice that she was part of and she was very, very competitive, very feisty and smart, and quite ruthless, so I'm surprised she seems so quiet and sweet, it can't last...
The older HM's are usually so much more interesting always, I could take a whole houseful rather than the vacuous shenanigans of the younger ones and I'm with you, not another showmance, the thing that makes me want to switch off altogether...

I thought that was a cynical ploy by James to undermine Saira, rather than in support of her.

But, back to the plot, I can't stand 'The Squad' and find their 'antics' shallow and callous.

And keep that winging face ache Saira in too cause she's a royal pain in the arse.

Bear isn't enjoyable to watch, he is unbearably stupid and tedious.

The title is stretching the forum

I don't know how anyone could watch what Marnie did to Saira and find it funny/enjoyable. It was so uncomfortable to watch and really unpleasant.

I agree and BB are just as bad for allowing it to happen.

i don't have a problem with BB letting it run its course for now. In order for the viewers to see how bad that squad are, they have to be left to hang themselves as it were. Its a difficult balance to get right for sure, but in the long run it can only be to the benefit of everyone else for it to run its course.

I just want them to go after Renee next. Gagging for her to put a hit on them.

[rebecca9]

Lewis, Bear, Marnie and Heavy D are all nasty pieces of work. I can't stand patronising Saira either, but their behavior towards her is just plain nasty.

Lewis has officially left the squad. Him and Bear have fallen out big time

Looks like tonight's episode is just as bad, Bear seems to be even worse if the preview is anything to go bu

And I thought he was nasty. I actually think it's worse than that! He's evil!

This was the most memorable DR entry of the series so far )which doesn't say a lot for it actually ). I would normally think it is so silly to give away your game plan this early but there were moments where you could see the strings being pulled and how successful they are at getting a few of them to eat straight out of their hand. Heavy D to an extent is clearly a beta, but he is very unpredictable and will make snap commentary/judgement to appear more alpha than he actually is...

They've got some of the girls hook line and sinker. What a meek casting of females... even Renee just floats about saying whatever is on her mind with her fingers in her ears. It's more annoying though than problematic. She's playing to a character so it's harmless for now, but it's all talk and she is definitely playing the game.

Saira has the most backbone of the group, but she really buckled under the peer pressure from this particular group. Most of them are just sympathizers. She picked up on some problems early on and they went right for her because of it. The issue I have with it is these aren't normal people, these are "characters", so it should've been easy enough for her to blow them off. They're going to get underneath a lot of people's skin right off and it's showing...
