Snog 💋, Marry 👰‍♀️, Pie 🥧

Who gets the honors??

Hamish 💋

Henri 💍

Jude or Kelly 🥧

I'm thinking Jude is the one who slept with Melissa, I think that Kelly might get aggy with us even if we didn't do anything with Finn in the pool which I didn't and Kat is safe as long as she doesn't do anything stupid lol. I won't pie Finn because I think he's going to get a lot of them because people going to assume things. And unfortunately Melissa is already gone.

liquid gold

Chapter 21: since forever

Don't ask him how, but he'd managed to get the producers to give them the Hideaway for the night. Honestly, all he could remember was that he'd rambled on about wanting to foster that connection between him and Rory, and considering she was still coupled up with Travis, he didn't want to be disrespectful and- ...

Well, you get the idea.

The Kissing Handbook

Dating 106: Get Out of Your Head

“I’m serious!” She laughs at him, walking over to stand beside him. “You can look it up.”

“That sounds like a lot of effort.”

“It sounds like you want to stay ignorant.”

“I am not ignorant. I am sooo smart and aware.”

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

beloved in your pillow talk post (incredible btw and extremely accurate) I’m dying to know what option one and two were for gary

LOL Thanks, nonny!! I actually did think about what one and two were. Two was relentless tickling, for sure. And one would have been some random chat like, “What do you think purple smells like?”

Fun fact- I based Gary’s pillow talk after a convo from the game, if you chose to make a cheese toastie with him. I wish I could remember it exactly, but it was cute. I miss S2 🥲

[darin-my-defender]

all the girlies with endgame LI faves sitting there panicking their fave is gonna come back and get ruined x

@cxhleel108 come get your man! He misses you so freaking bad!

(So proud of the face tbh)

if i fall (can you let me down easy)

Rocco let out an exasperated sound. “You’re not understanding me. I like Marisol.”  “And that’s wonderful, honest to god it is,” Cassie repeated. “But again, why didn’t you just tell me in the first place that you were looking? You could’ve just told me you didn’t actually like me like that, and you never should’ve lied about only wanting me. And I just, what was the point in picking me at the last coupling up when Marisol was right there?”  Rocco sighed, and Gary could just picture the slimy, pitiful look on his face. “I’m sorry. I was just following my heart, but…things just aren’t working out between us. Thanks for listening to me, and I hope I didn’t offend you too much.”  Wait, seriously? He just straight up wasn’t gonna answer her questions, and then pretend that he was breaking up with her?  Somehow these sorts of dramas were all much more entertaining to watch on the telly when they happened to other people, and not when they happened to pretty birds with doe brown eyes that Gary knew in real life.  Gary listened to the rustle of fabric and footsteps crossing the roof, the door creaking open and then pausing before shutting.  He sat up, grinning when Cassie yelped, staring at him wide-eyed with a hand pressed to her chest.  “What a knob, eh?”

Summer really out here pulling a Gabi, girl throught she was gonna embarass you but she ended up embarrassing herself lmao.

Big weirdo behavior!!! Based on last season alone, I don’t think Summer is coming back to main villa with anyone so I’m not even letting myself get annoyed by her. She gives off Ivy vibes to me and we all saw she didn’t last long. I understand the need for her in casa to create a little tension and competition amongst the girls but in the main villa we have all of the boys’ OG girls to worry about!

She is so spot on with everything she said except replace Joyo with Alex for me. I love the fact that when he was talking to me and Estelle was like let's talk about something and he was like let's not.

Volume 6 Thoughts

Geri is about to catch some hands. Girl cannot take no for an answer and is beyond delusional when it comes to Joyo. Telling her off felt good.

Why does Joyo's little pouty face get me every time? It's so sad and cute at the same time.

No Travis, I don't want you, I don't know how many times I have to say it.

I'm sorry, but why do none of the couples change anymore? There was so much drama last week and still nothing changed.

The sleepwear options are cute, especially the teddy. My MC is fully embracing her Barbie era with all the pink outfits this season.

I've seen quite a few other people say it, but why the hell do we need to sneak out to the daybeds? I want Travis and Geri to know we don't want to sleep next to them.

Joyo mentioned in casa that he loves dirty talk and girls whispering in his ear. Idk if the other boys said that or not in this volume but it is a Joyo specific thing in my head now.

All the boys smell like cedarwood apparently and I reject it. Joyo's a scuba diver from a beach town for Christ's sake, he should smell like the sea and maybe something like bergamot. Not cedarwood (that should be Alex specific and I'll die on that hill).

Bits scene itself was short ànd kinda lackluster.... I don't have time to rewrite it, but it's tempting.

Okay, again, idk what the morning chat looks like for everyone but I was kicking my feet and squealing like a little girl. It was established in casa that Joyo hates camping and sleeping outside, but he goes on this little rant about how much he enjoyed sleeping under the stars with us and how we're the only person he'd do that for. Can you say swoon-worthy?

Fuck off Geri, JOYO DOESN'T WANT YOU.

Okay, on a non Raf route, Daph is adorable. I love her and Raf together.

Movie night titles were way better this season. I particularly liked 'Jumping for Joyo', 'Geri Much In Love', and 'Daph-Need Your Love'.

But the movie night drama was not it. Wow, a bombshell came in and flirted with me, call the press! Thank God Evan said something. The rest of the clips felt contrived or like they were just there to make Geri look bad (can't Joyo just pick me cause he likes me more and not cause Geri's a hot mess hypocrite?)

Can we also just appreciate that when I say my head isn't turning, everyone knows it's still on Joyo. We've been asking for this since casa s2 and it's finally, consistently remembering who I said I want to be with no matter how many people are interested in me.

Date with Evan was fine. Love that he seems to respect the word no. His sprite is fine AF, but I really just want him to be my villa bestie.

Love how soft and melty Joyo is one on one now, it's precious.

I absolutely howled when Joyo came to pull me for a chat and talked right over Geri's protests. She was so shocked.

Yes, Joyo! Admit you're a jealous motherfucker and let's get back together already!

Travis. Get it through your head. I'm telling you I'm closed off with Joyo, that doesn't mean I want to keep getting to know you like that. I don't want you.

Flowers, really? Kinda hoping they actually aren't from Joyo (and think they might not be just so FB can have him be jealous and start more drama). It's a little weird honestly and an interesting choice for a cliffhanger.

Still really enjoying this season for all its faults honestly. Joyo has me in the palm of his hand and I'd happily go with him anywhere. Not totally sure I see the vision for where they're gonna take the rest of the season, but as long as I get to keep flirting with Joyo, I'm good.

Agreed. Well said.

Posting this with the username redacted (even though I sent the person in question the post). I also know you sent this to at least two other people. I would’ve just deleted the ask, but I wanted to respond to you without giving you the satisfaction.

If you’re the same person sending nasty asks about people’s family members, you are super weird. Like really, it’s a game, please do less. Care less. If someone doesn’t like the love interests that you like, there’s a great way to rectify that.

Go to your front door, walk down the steps if you have them (hold the handrail!) make sure you’re careful if you live near a busy road. Anyway, look around you. Surely, nearby, there will be some grass.

Touch it. Touch it goooooood.

Then reassess whether it might be better for you to just block this person you hate so much, and get on with your life.

Namaste etc.
