This was actually a great interview

[@shaunamc8667]

They're actually quite funny in this interview - I would love to have seen this side of them in the house!

[@deedee2687]

The funniest part of this video was when Jenkin said "I learned the most from Chenelle" that says it all mate. Its a shame that Tom was so inconsiderate of others when he supposedly was having a hard time in the house. Paul, Chenelle and Tom were so awful to watch, and made no effort to get to know anyone outside of their friendship group. What is the point of going on the show, such narrow minded people.

[@adrewbateman1760]

Tom is such a weasel. Literally the blandest waste of a housemate . At least Jenkin was funny . Best part was when Tom almost cried when Trish called him a sheep 🤣

[@blackpool8997]

Blandest, I'd go Noky tbh.

My takeaway from this: Why is the show edited the way it is? It seems there is a lot more humour in the house than we are shown, a lot more roundedness to housemates' characters and instead narratives or the creation of narratives are often preferred. Jordan and Henry's "romance", whether genuine or not, is pretty tedious to watch. We don't get to see the deep conversations Paul apparently had, instead he's just painted as an irritatingly one-dimensional "lad". We get to see moany Jenkin more than funny Jenkin. We get to see Olivia's tedious exercise sessions but not her Oliver character. I wasn't a fan of Olivia, Jenkin or Paul but I might have been if the editing had been different. Good interview this, seemed like decent lads after all. However, I had to max the volume out on my phone to hear them properly over the annoying and completely unnecessary background music.

[@jadebel7006]

No editing can create how Paul b*lied noky..having deep conversations doesn't mean u can't be a b*lly

[@Millieferreira8]

Please get Jordan and Henry on one of these cx

[@btsxskz7866]

this video made me see them better, by all means it doesn't take away how they acted but ye they don't seem as bad here kinda funny tbh😂

[@thedollbabys1073]

I think Tom is so adorable. Idk why the UK is so harsh. It's a game and he is still young.

[@RemilishaeBeccan]

He’s a horrible bully lol, if we all go lenient on bully’s because “they’re young” then the world will be even more toxic than it is now. I certainly wouldn’t allow my child to bully people how his 20 something year old self did

[@thedollbabys1073]

@@RemilishaeBeccan well then all the commenters leaving horrible comments are bullies too? the british must be really sensitive.

[@CucumberCheese]

@@thedollbabys1073 Exactly. It's incredibly embarrassing for the majority of those who comment abuse, that they don't realise how hypocritical they sound. He was hardly problematic at all. Calling him ''bland'', ''filler'', ''a weasel'', honestly says more about the person making the comment.

[@Medcanuk]

Olivia Tom and Paul were love island casting but they were switched to big brother during auditions. You can really tell there love island people and not big brother quality.

[@calidofrio13]

I love Tom omg.

[@m_t3901]

I totally dislikes Paul from the start till his demise. He was a horrible housemate to live with, and clearly was hitting on Olivia whole time. I was glad his was dumped, his time was long overdue in there

[@user-ru2ex8ib8z]

Tom, Jenkin and Jordan in the secret room was the best entertainment of the show. Their honesty and humor was perfect, especially Jenkin and Tom calling out Yinrun's useless talent show. These two are actually the only ones who treated her like an adult woman, rather than a helpless baby everyone fawns over.

I’m so happy Tom’s gone he’s racist
