Housemate Post show housemate antics

Ed and the Mia phonecall probably came out of nowhere in the daily show, but Mia had been doing Ed's head in for days. During the BBEatz task he went on for ages about her odd behaviour and how uncomfortable it was making him. Mentioning things that were even censored in the live stream and could only make an Adults Only show.

Him seeing her have a phone conversation to no one, was just another odd behaviour of Mia. Where he was basically, "wtf was that?" I saw large bits of that on the live stream. He genuinely found it weird.

It was highlighted by the Ed and Mia conversations that were also a kind of intervention. Ed was highly uncomfortable with Mia's crush and how she talked about it. He found her behaviour odd and that's probably something they could highlight on the daily show. They ignored her crush on Ed in the edit until they couldn't. They weren't going to then suddenly add in Mia's sex talk and how that added to Ed's uncomfortableness over it.

To Mia, having conversations to herself is just part of how she organises her thoughts. So it probably sticks out to her as perfectly fine to do. As there's a use to it.

But remember, Mia is literally someone who thought she could beat Bruce in the house circuit. That was when a lot of people in the house realised what Ed had been saying. She actually doesn't live in a grounded reality. The Daily Show played it off for laughs, but the whole, "wait, she actually thinks she can?" realisation by the housemates was excluded. Mia's reaction to that is, "so what, I just got excited and wanted to try." Her attitude doesn't want to have restrictions of the constraints of reality.

To Ed, her having a crush on him as a very horny but inexperienced, nothing in common with him person was another not living in reality aspect of Mia.
 
Does anyone else find these housemates - and season in general - cringier than all of Seven’s era combined? There’s just something about them.

I’m getting such a palpable ick from most of them. Not sure if I’m just projecting my own views of the season onto them or they are just super cringe or a bit of both.

It's just down to this season being live. The last Seven series aired about a year after it was filmed. None of their post-season antics could have been on social media. They'd moved on with their lives by the time it aired. So there just wasn't the opportunity for them to be all over the socials right after filming. Our connection and thoughts were not in real time. We're still in a way following on with the housemates in a way that never existed with past seasons.

When I looked up the various Seven cast at the time, many were cringe as fuck on socials. Tay and Ari doing cringe miming dances on tik tok. I know it's my old man ranting, but who the fuck finds that entertaining? I've at least this season enjoying some of the post antics socials. It's not just some disconnected from the show cringe. Hot chick modelling. Buff tradie posting thirst pics. Cringe hot mummy sex advice.

Do you not think Dion would have been cringe as fuck if he was able to live post after a live finale?
