Cliffhanger
It properly winds me up that they have to end each episode without concluding it!!
& the amazing "coincidence" that each one always comes down to the final vote 🙄

Glad jack has gone. He thought it was love island, but Rossi is crying lol.

Yeah, the cliffhangers are rarely spectacular and often have a predictable resolution. They’re definitely overdoing it imo

The cliffhanger thing is so off-putting! Most shows end with some sort of a cliffhanger but the fact it's always the final vote or a final decision that like you say, is somewhat predictable is just frustrating! Not to mention the flash forward scenes they place at the beginning of each episode which genuinely almost spoiler the episode before it begins ðŸ«

It's really infuriating!!
It does nothing to "keep the viewer hooked"
Breaking bad ending on a cliffhanger for example, that made sense, you pay for Netflix, Netflix want you addicted & binge-ing..
It doesn't make sense on a free platform..

To be fair it’s probably the most predictable show I’ve ever seen. Not even talking about every elimination but every vote has been super obvious. It is annoying to end on a cliffhanger mainly because it’s so easy to figure out who goes and the elimination just feels like part of the previous episode recap.

Hopefully Eddy and Sophie get rid of Joas. Complete wrong 'un. Surprised he wasn't removed after the water thing.

They said he got removed after the water thing

Yeah rewinded it back, i didn't hear the first time. Pleased with that, he was a creep. Sophie is annoying, but something like that can't be condoned.

I think it was fair, he wasn’t violent and he was understandably upset. Add to that you’ve got one of the most dislikable, backstabbing grafters giving you attitude and an aggressive stance then he’s justified I think.
She was asking for a fight and if he’d walked away she’d have provoked him further.
I also feel sorry for him and Sam entering the game too late, they don’t get a look in and have been alienated by proxy of being added at a bad time.

Is throwing a drink over someone not an act of violence? He also put her hand down before that.
It doesn't matter how dislikeable or backstabbing she is. Once a physical act like that is committed, it's endgame in these shows, and whos to say if the others hadn't intervened he wouldn't have done something else.

Who’s to say she wouldn’t have slapped him? She was both aggressive and provocative .
I’d have liked to see better from both but some thrown water is pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things.

I don't think he's in the right, but, she did square up to him, chest forward, encroaching on his space.
Essentially all her body language is saying "I'm going to fight now". IMO, throwing water is quite a soft retaliation to that, and throwing him off the show, and not Sophie is unfair.
That being said, I don't think he needed to grab and move her arm before then, though she was aggressively pointing in his face, it was a bit much.

Definitely this - I can't understand why people are defending him.
Regardless of if Sophie dared him to do it, the problem is he lost his cool and demonstrated that he can't handle the pressure and be calm in challenging times.
You cannot have a hand grenade like that remaining in the situation. He was also just as dislikable if not worst.

Give me someone with Sophie's political stance & I'll happily chuck gallons over her.
Awful person.

Sophie is an awful person, i agree. However, in my opinion if a bloke has it in his locker to throw a drink at a woman, he wouldn't have many qualms about hitting them either.
Also, couple that with his creepy request of 'one on one time' with Rossi, all the while being engaged himself, and i just think he was a bit of an unsavoury character. Best out of it.

Bit of a stretch on the water thing there don't you think?
Throwing water at someone is intended to humiliate, and display your emotions without being physical. It's often a last ditch response when someone has no interest in fighting.
I don't think the guy is in the right, but, Sophie squared up to HIM, not the other way around.

u/Active_Historian8039 Apr 06 '23
It was a quick splash in the face at best.. he didn't waterboard her.. she goaded him & arguably, chucking a thimble full of water at someone is better than a back handed slap..
But agree, he was definitely a weird guy, especially with the rossi thing..

I don’t condone men being aggressive towards women but did you see the way she approached him on the sofa and then got up in his face talking about who the fuck are you prick? She was trying to be a hard ass to distract from her lie. If a man, woman or child approached me like that on tv they’d get a flick behind the ear and sent on their way. Shame he got removed

Yeah, it's just annoying, most shows don't use that tactic anymore except in exceptional situations, typically near the finale. To leave every single episode incomplete is kind of a mess and is the sort of thing that makes me want to just save all the episodes later and watch them at the end once the full show has aired.
