A reminder of tonight's summary

Gemma's arrival causes a stir as the House splits into two teams

He's disgusting, dangerous, and manipulative. I may not like her much, but she deserves better. Big Brother should have removed Omar already, but its clear they won't

I really hope I'm not alone in thinking this

I really want to highlight that this is SOME gay men not all, just horrid, horrid behaviour towards women

After tonight’s episode Rihanna girl run!!

That cocktail party wtf?! Twinks was being weird but felt doomed from the start

Philip showing he clearly despises Rochelle and it bubbles over before he realised the only way they make it to the final is as a pair

Finally Rihanna seeing Omar’s true colours. Take it slow? You said you loved her a week ago bro

She clearly doesn’t want to be there. No chemistry with the housemates and she’s grown out of this. (Also other circumstances)

i like twinks overall and think she’s one of the only housemates with a reasonable level of intelligence, communication skills and compassion. yet there’s two things i can’t shake

1. maybe it’s just bad edits but she doesn’t strike me as a person, she comes across as an ideology instead. she’s constantly just regurgitating the same social media soundbites any gen z will be more than aware of. it’s hard to feel like she actually genuinely has any of her own opinions. the cherry on top is her claiming she got her knowledge from books, instead of an instagram post

2. her behaviour towards Pauline was incredibly creepy and predatory. regardless of what Pauline’s sexuality actually is, Pauline has said herself she hates labels and boxes, and that she’s straight. despite this, Twinks had taken it upon herself to flirt with Pauline, push her boundaries, and claim to give her “gay panic”. so much for being respectful towards other people’s identities, or not assuming someone’s sexuality….

Rihanna needs to stand her ground with this one, or she will be walking 5 paces behind Omar for the rest of her life. I hate to say it, but the way Omar is acting, Rihanna better get used to wearing a burqa.

Not like we haven’t seen blatant obvious bullying on BB before, but the vim they have for her is SO weird. Their main gripe with her seems to be because she’s come in halfway throw and not part of the OG HMs, yet they’re both fine with Catrin… it’s defo personal

Did anything notice he asked Rihanna if she wanted to cover up because “it’s cold”?

Chauvinism masquerading as concern.

Rob doesn’t have that many close friends in there, but Sam is one of them. Philip taking Sam aside and trying to turn him against Rob is so cruel. Does he just want him to be alone in there?

Nah I might be deeping this too much but it felt oddly manipulative??? I haven't watched it back since obviously and I might be biased but it felt so weirddd

Like him telling Sam that the alleged 'boos' (which why they high-key gaslighting him into thinking it's him??) were pretty much because he's associating himself with Rob and that rob is like an ass or whatever he said I forgot and then Sam responding with the fact he's tryna get to know other people

Not only does this feel like Phillip trying to isolate Rob but he only really talked to Sam when he was like alone and clearly a bit more vulnerable than usual and it just gives a bit disingenuous??? Nah I'm deadass overthinking icl 😭

We all know GC is an icon, but she was brought into the house for a reason. She acting far too tame, people are chatting shit right in front of her and she’s just sat there saying ‘oh really’. She needs to more messy and start bringing entertainment. I hope she makes the most of the few days she’s in there.

Jedward were only in the house for a couple of days and brought some entertainment. They called people out on their bs, gave unwarranted opinions and didn’t lick anyone’s ass. They got into multiple arguments while they were in there and some housemates were glad they finally left.

Hopefully, she’ll change my mind and we see some more from her.

In today's sneek peak, they are sitting down eating ans Gemma Collins says she loves Robs singing and Rochelle says to rob don't do it unless you want a carrot shoved down your gob. I certain I didnt miss any of tonight's episode and it wasnt shown?

Erm yeah, reckon so, Omar! tf goes on in that guys head, honestly?! He’s unhinged on another level 💀

I am genuinely curious about a few things.

Omar - there is a tiktok video of him bragging about setting a homeless man on fire when he was 7. That's just ONE of the many horrible things coming to light about his past. Even if he was joking, wtf? That's not funny to any sane person.

I understand he grew up in a rough neighborhood. I also grew up poor and in a rough neighborhood - in South Boston, Massachusetts - not ONCE did I feel compelled to hurt another human being for no reason. Ever. How can you approve of this behavior? Being poor and growing up in a bad neighborhood is not an excuse for criminal behavior.

Shame on Big Brother if they knew all this and put him in the house anyway. It's bonkers to offer 100k to a confessed criminal.

Rochelle - I understand a large portion of you share her views and that's why you like her, that makes sense to me. Even loving her drama, I get that, it can be entertaining for some watching a grown woman act the way she does. The LGBTQ+ fans, however - I don't get it. I mean, I do if you are LGB without the T because she seems to be fine with gay men, so I can understand conservative transphobes loving her. But everyone else, why do you support her? What is the appeal? I honestly don't get it.
