I'd like to see Nancy away from him so hopefully he'll be out next.

I think last year you had a real divide in the house with Ali and Khaled/Marcelo, with Hanah and Segun's storyline coming through late. Caroline and Richard just doesn't feel the same, mainly because both play up to the role set by the other. It doesn't feel as real compared to the animosity of 2024. The romance is as dull as anything between someone who I'm concerned shouldn't be in the house due to her mental health and a housemate who seems to purely exist because of the storyline. Compare it to 2023, when Henry and Jordan were shown as people in their own right.

Why they didn't stretch the shopping task to two days I have no idea. Wednesday's episode was the worst in a long time and could have easily and effectively been filled by it. Everything feels lazy with a "that will do" attitude - and it could be said that feeling has seeped into the house as well.

Yeah all very true. The tasks have all had some good concepts but the execution has been so disappointing. That Bad Brother one would have been great as two days and by the second day I think you'd really start to see some frustrations growing at the henchmen. Every Weds episode has just been dead this year
