Jamie walks in alone after Dave tells her his feelings aren’t progressing in their relationship.
Watching Jamie talk to herself while she waits for the others to arrive is giving Big Brother first-housemate energy.
Before Dave arrives, Jamie tells Awhina, Adrian, Rhi, and Jeff that he doesn’t initiate sex with her, something he didn’t like when she shared it with Adrian and something I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate now.
Carina pulls Awhina to the side to apologise for calling her sister, Cleo, low-calibre after finding out Paul slept with her. Awhina accepts it as an insecure and jealous comment, but Carina wants Paul to take accountability for sharing what was obviously said in the vault.
He doesn’t think he did anything wrong, and it’s a good thing I’m not dating him because I say some shit to my partner that should never see the light of day. We all do.
Jacqui thinks she and Ryan are a role model couple for the rest of the group, which is wildly worrying. Jeff brings up the letter, and you know what? I’m pissed off Jacqui ruined this entire season with her endless rogue Instagram Stories because I actually would be invested in her and Ryan’s relationship (for all the wrong reasons).
That’s OK, because no matter what, we will always have Jeff’s laugh.
Jamie tells the table about where she and Dave are falling apart. She says some very movie-worthy, profound things, which is exactly what I’d do and exactly why I can’t be on this show. It feels so put-on and overly dramatic, sorry.
Jamie is interrogating Dave about the sudden realisation of his non-existent feelings. However, he says he’s spoken about these feelings on the couch. She slams the table (that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the table is touched with both hands) and starts pointing again. That wasn’t a good idea last time, and it won’t be this time.
Now she has moved on from the anger stage of grief and is crying. Why is someone not liking you the way you like them such a fucking blow? Never gets easier IMO.
Adrian asks whether spending time with Veronica has prompted this realisation, because he is a shit stirrer, but Dave rejects the idea.
Eliot chimes in with how Veronica said her connection with Dave was way better than her one with Eliot.
Veronica says that’s only because Dave looked at her with his eyeballs.
Anyway, apparently Dave is really keen on the relationship with Jamie working, but she’ll require him to pull his finger out of his asshole first.
