The emotional manipulation he uses on Shaq to continually justify his bad behavior is actually CRAZY… honestly all these girls left can be written off. Well, except Sanam.
Meanwhile, a separate person wrote: ‘Not Tanya saying old shaq is back and she doesn’t like him as soon as he shows human emotions… genuine gaslighting! It’s not an old version of him, he’s just injured and reacting to your damn it!’

It comes after fans were left in stitches over Martin’s reaction to his time with Tanya in Casa Amor being shown on the big screen.
The pair struck up a romance during the last test of the show, before she returned to the main villa and patched things up with her partner Shaq Muhammad.
But as the latter saw firsthand what really happened between Tanya and Martin when he wasn’t around, viewers couldn’t help but notice how much the senior software engineer enjoyed the showdown.
Eating popcorn with a cheeky smile on his face, he seemed almost delighted to see things get started, as Shaq and Tanya bickered over the videos.
The boys and girls were separated into two tables for the night as they were given pub quiz questions to answer, with the team that answered correctly getting to pick a time in the village to look back.
When the village was asked how many times a person has sex in their life, on average, the boys searched for the closest answer.
They chose to watch a movie called: ‘Catch Me If You Tan’, which showed clips of Tanya talking behind Shaq’s back in the main villa, before showing her chatting with Martin at Casa Amor.
Even showing the couple as they shared a steamy kiss in bed, the clip left Tanya with her head in her hands as Shaq started to blush.
But while others began to worry, Martin seemed to remain unfazed, watching with a smile as the drama unfolded.
The latter was furious after Tanya had previously claimed that she and Martin only shared a ‘quick kiss’, despite the clip showing a very passionate kiss in bed.
After watching, Shaq yelled at Tanya, ‘So it was just a kiss, yeah? Did he come in to kiss you? Is that what we’re doing? Are we lying now?
“We kissed, I didn’t say it was just a kiss,” Tanya argued, while her partner confirmed it: “You said Martin kissed you and it was just a little.”
