Louise McSharry

You just, you reach a point where you're like, I actually, I don't even care anymore.

Like it's gone too far.

Like, it's not the ick, it's far beyond the ick, but it's that feeling of being let down so many times that like, you're like, do I even like this person anymore?

And that really feels like where Amanda got to.

And clearly, I think it would have been better if she'd ended the relationship sooner.

It's not cool to talk about your partner behind their back in that way.

But I think she just was really, she felt really stuck.

And I can understand completely that that would be hurtful to Kyle when you're hearing your partner speak in that way about you behind your back.

But Kyle has been horrible to Amanda, to her face, over and over and over again.

To such an extent that her, you know, closest friends, and we've seen really beautiful conversations with her and Sierra, her and Paige in previous series, where her friends have been like, you don't have to do this.

You don't have to be in this relationship.

Like, maybe this isn't good for you.

But because in this episode, he does it right in front of the other guys, the guys get involved, specifically West, like,

West and Ben, I think, play a blinder in this, particularly West.

Ben goes and talks to Amanda.

And I think Ben is quite reasonable about it all.

He speaks to Kyle.

West goes into Amanda when she's in the bathroom crying.

And like this conversation just killed me where she said that, you know, she kind of just thought for a long time that that was just the best she could do.

And that was she says, this is the best I'm ever going to do.
