I think you’re spot on with this. Because Zara seemed to see herself, as in competition with Olivia from practically day one.I think she regretted as soon as she woke up the next day and realised that Alex wasn’t actually interested in her. She walked into the bathroom shaking her head and looking really sheepish, then when she saw the other girls reactions I think it started to hit her that they all thought she was foolish for sleeping with a guy who was interested in someone else.
The difference in language and attitudes to Alex and Zara both doing the same thing was dreadful, but again I think it was more because everyone knew he had zero interest in Zara. If Olivia and Alex had gone to the hideaway that night and slept together, I doubt they would have got the same reaction that Alex and Zara got.
I wasn’t suggesting that she should be regretful, just that it was clear that she was. I think she slept with Alex as a power move, to try and show Olivia that she could get him and to try and warn Olivia off him, but it didn’t work.
There was a scene where Emma was talking about what she thought the difference was between Sophie and Tom and her opinion was that while he had his faults, he wasn’t nasty and Sophie was and I genuinely believe it was the other way around. Sophie was very vulnerable but I never once thought she had a nasty side to her.Oh Alex was definitely in the wrong - he should never have slept with Zara when he was interested in Olivia. But this is where the alcohol not being limited comes into play again, I think - after a few drinks his judgment was probably impaired - if he’d been completely sober I think he would have found it easier to go back to the main villa. I suspect toxic masculinity played its part too, the same kind of toxic masculinity that meant Adam thought it was fine to talked about F*cking and chucking Liana - thankfully, those kind of discussions have lessened in later series (along with the emphasis on the boys’ numbers - Terry 500, Tom - 250? 350? - I don’t think they’ve included numbers in games in the last few series, have they?)
I’m now on episode 38 and it’s sad to see Sophie getting herself in such a pickle. She really did flirt with Katie and lead her on and then do a U turn as soon as she thought the public were angry with her behaviour. It’s sad to see just how easily she was swayed, she goes from saying she had her real bubbly personality back now that Tom had gone, to talking about being in love with him immediately after the Tweet game.I don’t think she ever intended to hurt anyone, I think she was just overthinking and worrying about how she was perceived on the outside. Absolutely no judgement from me - I would be a complete nightmare on reality TV, I’d torture myself with how I was coming across and second guess every decision.
Emma was a dick!There was a scene where Emma was talking about what she thought the difference was between Sophie and Tom and her opinion was that while he had his faults, he wasn’t nasty and Sophie was and I genuinely believe it was the other way around.

Oh no, but elaborate!Has anyone seen the things Cara has been posting? It feels like it’s abit of a dig at Olivia and Alex
She put something yesterday about press saying things about ex islanders who has done the best etc then today she has put a post on about how the runners up are the real winners. I agree with her that they shouldn’t be writing things like that but it definitely feels like a dig she’s saying they are genuinely happy.Oh no, but elaborate!
Their numbers made me think of that quote in American Pie 2, where you divide the number by 3 and that's the real number (it's still a lot, but more realistic!!)Terry saying he slept with over 500 people, Tom claiming 350...I was doing the maths on it as they were 28 and 24 respectively at the time. They'd need to be hooking up with someone new every week since they were 18 years old. And that doesn't account for any downtime due to illness or unforeseen circumstances lol. Or being in a monogamous relationship! Absolutely full of it
They were 100% exaggerating. I don’t think I’ve even met 500 men, never mind slept with them and I’m 28Terry saying he slept with over 500 people, Tom claiming 350...I was doing the maths on it as they were 28 and 24 respectively at the time.

She was,Emma was a dick!
Yes, carry on! That was me too, to the point that I actually scrapped it, watched all of S4 then went back to it. It’s worth watching, although def not my favourite. It’s worth watching for Theo alone to be honest when he arrives! Haha!I’m missing this season so much after rewatching it, I’ve watched 5 episodes of season 3 and I’m bored - do I carry on?
