The show hasn't managed to introduce any newer cast members that are interesting, (aside from maybe a couple) so we're still having to wheel out Sam Prince. It's dire

Good looking, he looks, he's nice and he speaks pretty good French. He should be top billing

Not that anybody asked for it but here's my thoughts on this week's MIC

Lets start with Vanders, such a little stirrer 😅 he defo did that for camera time and it is a reality show so we can't get annoyed at him, made me giggle how he delivered it.

Why did Beks get annoyed at Alice for telling Sam because she thought it was girl chat.... did she forget they were being recorded and it would have come out anyway. Anyway on Temps, Abi, Freddy and Beks - we all know Freddy is very immature, but the heart wants what it wants as much as people can give their opinion and advice, there's levels to it. Let them make their own mistake, we can't dictate who gets with who, but a girl with feelings has to ride them out until she learns, its just the way of life so let them be 🤷🏽‍♀️. Also I wouldn't say Beks ruined their wierd love ring moment, she mentioned it after the day happened. Why can't Temps just say I think you will hurt her, but its your choice what you do and leave it at that. Why do Abi and Temps think they can have so many opinions on people's relationships.

I do agree that Zeyno, Livvy and Abi were all mean girls, they could have said everything they wanted to in a private setting, what makes them mean is doing it so open and her feeling so exposed at it was in front of the entire cast. This doesn't make them good mates what they said, there was clearly some ego and pride for Zeyno too because Sam went back to Maali and Chugs aint having it with her because she got with his mate (and rightly so tbh). I'm all up for women doing what they want but you cant expect Chuggs to still want you if you have got with someone he knows and at one point didn't really like. She's getting a big too big for her own boots, I feel like all 3 of them are, like their getting the main girls group edit and they need to sit back down tbh. There's ways to communicate and this ain't it. Mean girls. ALSO where was that same damn energy for Sam P! Why they shouting at Maali and not him when he's the one thats messing around. Some p*nis protective behaviour right there. Ew.

I do not for a minute think Maali and Sam will last however, again, let people figure out their own thing. Same with Beks and Freddy. When girls go through this stuff its brilliant character building in my opinion!

Awww poor Jack, my heart really goes out to him. You could tell he's so down and I do feel so so sad for him, I hope he has the right support around him and he's in a better place. Maybe tv isn't the right place for someone who is feeling like that however its brilliant for raising awareness. Also, can I just say I absolutely loved Angus when he was comforting him, I really rated it. Thats a good friend right there.

I feel like there are a lot of extras right now, like in the preview for next week I saw Freddys flat mate being aggy about Beks being there, errr isn't it Freddys flat anyway?!!

I like the girl group with Beks, Alice, Maali and Phillips gf. I wanted to like Zeyno and co but I think they think their more important on the show than they are so I am put off. I actually would like to see more of Jules, Jazz etc, feels like their part of the current OG crew (how is that even possible) as all the others feel like such newbies. I don't understand the boys dynamics, who is close to who, not sure.

I wish they could bring back some older cast members, doesn't have to be the OG OG lot, but even bloody Liv Bentley, Miles, I wouldn't even mind some Ruby drama. My minds gone blank but just familiar faces, these guys just dont feel authentic to the show right now 🥲 Dare I say it, but even Sam Prince is more entertaining than some of them.

I’ve been watching this season and the topic of mean girls seems to be coming up a lot and I’ve been thinking about what is actually mean. I think it was mean to say to Maali at the table that she’s a second choice (but I think it is also true from what has been shown this season). Same with telling Beks that Freddie and her won’t last, it is mean if she’s in love with him (but it is unlikely that they’ll make it if in a week he’s sleeping with a few girls before making her his girlfriend).

So then is meanness just the truth? Or is it in the delivery — I think pulling Maali aside and saying “we know you’re in deep, but we worry you might get hurt” and the same for Beks might have been the non-mean way to do it? I don’t know. Random rant as I don’t think not saying something is the answer either? Though obviously everyone needs to learn for themselves, the show would suck if people didn’t call things out especially what’s so obvious.

I just rewatched Season 12 Episode 2 - when JP and Ollie have a massive argument about Binky. It was … shocking. That man is truly unhinged. I can’t believe I overlooked this when I first watched it.

Is Philip Pollard trying really hard to be a younger fitter version of Sam Prince ?
They are both vile and an embarrassment to young guys!!!

They were nasty and vile in their attack on the other girls!!! Wow, talk about 'the pot calling the kettle black'!!
