Surely it will be. Wonder if they'd follow each other out.

Sophie is totally gaslighting Conor. She’s intentionally winding him up until she gets a reaction and then she’s making him feel stupid.
She’s so thick it’s hard to know if she’s even doing it on purpose but it’s not nice to watch.

He’s a controlling psycho, but like Joe from the summer. She’s not doing anything wrong.

He’s insecure, he’s far from a psychopath. She’s playing on his insecurities in a horrible way.

I think Sophie’s treating Connor horribly. I usually hate when people do the whole “wHaT iF tHe TaBlEs WeRe TuRnEd” shíte but I genuinely think if it was Connor telling her he liked her, kissing and cuddling her, but then thinking nothing of showing OTT excitement of new girls, telling her to her face how good looking the new girls were, and giggling and kissing a new girl in front of her ...he’d be public enemy number 1. Instead he’s a guy who’s admittedly a little possessive but is clearly sensitive and a little wet behind the ears, and he’s being ridiculed and called a psychopath all over the internet.

Yknow i was firmly on the "****ing hell he needs to chill out" side, but your post has made me reconsider. In fairness, she didnt initiate the kiss so what is she supposed to do other than laugh it off as part of the game, but then on the other hand, like you say, she is rubbing it in his face a bit too and then getting in a strop when he points it out. So i really dont know.

But if there is one thing that will turn me off a man its possessiveness. So i could understand if she was pulling away a bit due to his behaviour (going the wrong way about it tho).... which is down to her behaviour in the first place tho.... so i dunno!

But like it is a game, they are "coupled up", not in a relationship, and its early on in the game, not a few weeks in where they are a "couple" in everything but name. They were strangers this time last week like.

Well she only met him about 3 days ago but he’s acting like they are in a serious relationship and is freaking out over nothing things. Reckon he mostly just wants to sail through the show, win it and have a career in Instagram afterwards.
But he has been verbally little aggressive to her a couple of times. If she has any sense she should get away from him. She has been her own jokey self with him, but now she seems to be seeing the red flags in him. She should empty his eggs from her basket and hand them back to him.

Sophie is good craic I like her, I wouldn't have automatically put her with Connor though tbh..maybe it's the big fake teeth..they have known each other like 3 days

Shaughna is rough up close..those pumped up lips eugh

The novelty of the twins is clearly wearing off on the lads lol

I’m not even sure what is the meaning of this new term gaslighting that I think got invented few years ago, but am watching Ireland am and the show biz reporter is completely on side of Sophie and is saying that Firmino has been gaslighting her for past few days.
I think all this gaslighting, mugging me, and disrespecting terms in today’s modern lingo is completely unnecessary.

So who's going home tonight? I think it'll be a twin :P

Its not a new term. Its a term from an old movie called gaslight, where a man makes the woman think she going mad.

As NeonSofa says, the term is around since the 30's.

The term "gaslighting" can be traced back to a 1938 play. British playwright Patrick Hamilton created "Gas Light," a mystery/thriller that premiered in London and played there for six months. But most folks familiar with the history of the term think back to the 1944 film adaptation of the play, "Gaslight."

The movie stars Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. They play a married couple, Paula and Gregory. Throughout the film, abusive husband Gregory manipulates Paula to make her feel as if she has gone mad. He leads her to believe she's stealing things without realizing it and hearing noises that aren’t really there. Paula begins to question her reality.

She was deliberately trying to get a rise out of him, she admitted as much herself, and then when he finally reacted she made him feel stupid saying it was all a joke.
That's really manipluative and borderline emotionally abusive.

I'm loathe to go down the narrative of "if this was the other way around", but its so true. If a man was playing with a woman's head like that no one would find it acceptable.

She was only bantering. She is the queen of banter, a proper Bantersaurus!
That lad needs to cop on a bit in fairness. He starts off bragging about his threesome and more than 100 rides, then gets aggressive to her when she comments back to him about it, then he goes after her again for her having conversations with others. What is she supposed to do not talk to anybody??
I think he has just picked her from start and wants to stay on the show. The other women don’t seem crazy on him. Even his fake teeth seem to be losing their shine in the strong South African sun.

Bantersaurus! LOL

Still havent got into it, will give this series a miss.

I thought the same about Shaughna at first, but her eyes are lovely and she is real. I fancy her bigtime.

I love that now the second twin is getting pied.

Fair play to Eve, she’s taken it a lot better than Jess!

Twins binned. As they should be.

Shaunaghgh is sound. I like how she’s kind of spotty during the day and then total 360 (lol) flawless glam at night

I'm an idiot. I am so bored of this series but I'm afraid I'll miss something so I keep watching!

Sionnese or whatever her name is absolutely wrecks my head. She is so stuck up. Can't stand her. Wouldn't mind if she was voted out but I think Nas will stupidly keep her in. I reckon it will be one of the twins voted out later.

"Connagh with a G" is a long name.

They should call them Connagh G and Conor Jaws.

Also where's Nas tonight.

I read earlier that she has lost a lot of weight. Fair play, she looks great. The legs are harder to lose it from id say
