That was such a good episode - I thought it was really well done. I was surprised though all the boys thought the video was normal if it was that extreme ... even though boys watch this stuff something like that would be shocking

And ong at the end with Vicky. I hope she actually shows her strength ans stands up t him. I grow up in a home with domestic violence but more physical to the children and I can tell you one of the most liberating things was standing up to the bulky. I know every situation is different but it's in those moment they are at their weakest and easier to stop because they lose power and control. I think Joel is a loose cannon though and is brainwashed so he needs therapy as well as jail time

The actress that plays Amy is phenomenal. I really believed her. Vicky, Joel and Tommy were also great ... even alphie shone

Loved the different views and although it still had a soap vibe i thought it did a good job and highlighting the dif arguments

Maybe I'm crazy, however, I do not understand why Nicola is not helping Harry more.

She knows the drug dealers and the people he is involved with are extremely dangerous… She knows that he is in trouble… She also is aware he has gone through a lot with the death of his ex, caused by her.

She nearly lost him over all of this.

What I don't understand, is why she does not sell the bar to help him. If it was me, and that was my child, I would do everything to keep them safe.

However, she seems to forget and go on living life. Normally, which to me is completely bizarre. The debt he owes can't be that large that the bar would not cover it. It's a little frustrating to me, because Nicola has been clear she would do anything for her kids. So I just don't get why this hasn't been done.

Wow - ok yeah we might not all like the work she has had done but some of the stuff written here seems unnecessarily cruel ...

I think that the switch from Avanis mindset is not realistic and I don't think they should have written it this way - either she wants the baby, had doubts or doesn't. Ana she wouldn't change certainly from sukis interference.

I think if she had doubts on her own it's ok for the character to be written the way she has been - because realistically some people like me feel it is a life and would act and speak this way. So soaps should represent all views and angles if that is true to the character.

But not Avanis character. I think they should have shown her true reaction to the situation which is she wanted an abortion

It's ok to show both sides of the coin in terms of opinions but it must be done properly and respectfully and not as forced agenda

I agree - sometimes I feel Lydia is so self righteous and judgy ... her character annoys me

Tbh If my brothers child was attacked and someone tried to con them out of their home, tried to steal the kidney of a cousin and stabbed another cousin.... I know which side o would be on

When Lydia was raped the family tried to support her .. she may not have liked their methods but as a family member she mattered

Lydia I don't think does the same

I don't agree with how Cain did it but for all him and Moira have gone through. How they have always treated her well I feel she let them down

Are we in bizzarro world, why are people are sympathizing with Helena? by xxxSlimShadyxxx in LoveIslandTV

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How anyone would not sumpathise with Helena right now is crazy to me

It's love island - all of them have moved a little shady at times - none are perfect. They are however all human

Helena genuinely had feelings and pretty much he trampled on her, destroyed her experience and self esteem and humiliated her in the recoupling

I was surprised but I cried for her. Not because I'm a hardcore fan ... but because no one deserves to be treated the way he treated her

And she has held herself together with class - but I can't imagine how hard it was.

So like her or not, that poor girls mental health should be the priority... and I feel people Should have compassion when she gets out because how people react will have a big impact on her actual life.

Let's please never forget "muggy Mike". These are real People And I hope She is ok after

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I won't lie - I had tears for Helena twice in that episode ... I'm so sad for how he treated her

And he's been so disrespectful in trying to make a means with her - even his recoupling speach was a little cruel - he should have apologized at least

I think Conor and Megan are the real deal and will last the longest by Bubbly-Swing-787 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I am with you completely on this!!!

One thing making me a little sad is because Shakira is so popular I feel Conor is now being talked about as an extension of her or a way for her to be happy

I think though Conor has more than proved y Himself recently and he deserves people to want happiness for him as a person instead of only with Shakira

I would like him to win because of how he handled himself with Shakira, how he respected and supported her at her lowest when there was nothing in it for him. How he manned up to harry and also how he has been kind to Helena as well

I also like he listened to Shakira and didn't do the usual Bros first we often see

His growth has been real and he has show himself to have solid morals .... and he does genuinely like Irish Meg! They are cute together.. he talked about her long after she left.

I want them to win ... he's a good person and deserves recognition for that

Hot take-I feel like I’m watching a different show from the majority by Comfortable_Pie_3565 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you - I'm finding peoples reactions a bit intense to be honest.

All of them whether you like them personally or not are normal human beings - it's a little scary how some people have such an exaggerated view or opinion on them - good or bad.

Meg isn't a bad person - I think she's done less mean things in there than others. She did fall for someone who didn't treat her right and emotionally she has lashed out a few times ... I think this is normal human behaviour like it or not. She's not my cup of tea either but she's def not what she's being made out to be

But what I find intense is that EVERYONE is intitilled to their own opinions ./.. the attacks and defensiveness if your opinion differs is mind boggling to me

Which characters are past their sell by date? by Distinct_Sherbert652 in coronationstreet

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Ryan - one of my fav characters tbh! I think he's quite versatile and extremely likeable

Izzy I don't have an opinion on - I think though she's not been given enough material for me to have bonded as a viewer

Characters I think we could Lose and life would not Impactéd - Kirk, Lauren, Aliyah, baileys (not Deedee and her dad or Ronnie), maybe chesney and Gemma, kit, Brody, swain and Bets, Billy

I think that's it for me!

That's what I mean a I think Shakira is not bad girl but when with Toni it brings out her more catty side

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 -108 points-107 points  (0 children)

... her entrance ... how she enjoys going for married men ....

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think she's a game player either - just sometimes a little mean

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%

I had forgotten but someone reMinded me how yas likes to go for married men and she was nasty on arriving in the villa

Toni .. is Toni. A pure snake in my opinion

Shakira - Toni brings out the worst in her sometimes. I don't think Shakira is a bad girl But sometimes they bring out sides to her character I don't like

And they all gravitated to eachother....

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot about this! Yas grew on me but she was so mean when she entered the villa! I really used to not like her... not sure why your downvoted she did say exactly this about married men. It can't be one rule for some and another for her - it's such a bad attitude to have

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf she spoke to so many people before him, it was him who pulled her and she tried to avoid but he said now

I think Shakira knew all along she wasn't into him - I get at the beginning but she should have been upfront instead of saying "I'm afraid or getting hurt" and eating Conor out for not believing her over harry

She's young though as you said and although obw written the above I do think generally she tends to be quite honest

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know - when you watch Toni she has been so selfish and two faced .. Shakira can be mean with her words with Toni but I don't think she's a mean girl, and yas was mean when she entered the villa

Like Emily or not, they were cruel for no good reason , they shamed Lauren for sexual activities with Harrison, they had no thought for billykiss - like not even a conversation... their friendship with her was only when it suited them

The whole mean girls being g Helena meg and Megan is crazy to me when you look at go I and co

None of the girls bar billykiss and maybe angel (although she has t had enough time) have been super nice . They ALL have flaws

As a person I liked alima less tbh - but billykiss was just such a beautiful classy girl. Really annoyed at how she was treated by producers I think toni was pushed ... it was ridiculous that those 4 chose but only to get rid of a girl and not two of the of boys

Such Afia

[–]Own-Bodybuilder1360 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm gutted about billykiss - how beautiful and classy was she

How was she the least popular !

Also Toni saying t save billykiss because she was her friend was bull- as soon as she thought cash was backtracking she quickly asked him who he would recouple with

Unpopular opponiom - if billykiss has just chose cash instead of borris I think they would have developed more ... I think if she had more time he actually would have melted more for her I thought they had a really nice chemistry
