the atmosphere in the living room was filled with anticipation as we all gathered together. max, with a sense of urgency in his voice, called for everyone's attention, exclaiming,

' listen, listen, listen, everyone. i've got something important to tell you all. please, take a seat. ' the room fell into a hushed silence, waiting for max's revelation.

naturally, i couldn't resist injecting a bit of humor into the situation, playfully interjecting, ' here we go again , who's evicted '

kaci, equally curious, urged urged to share the news, while hoyce seemed taken aback, exclaiming, ' oh my days. i have nothing left. '

the tension in the room was palpable, as we awaited maxs response.

with a hint of shock in her voice, ash commented, ' you had to take somebody's space? ' max , seemingly concerned, questioned the whereabouts of ten and shannon , wondering why they were absent.

in an uncanny synchrony, both kaci and i replied simultaneously, ' they've been evicted. ' the revelation hung in the air, and max's next words caught me off guard.

' i'll be honest, thank God shannon got evicted though, ' max admitted, prompting me to raise an eyebrow in disbelief.cCuriosity getting the better of me, i questioned max, asking, ' why '

max continued, explaining his perspective, ' i'll be honest, she's just leng. like, realistically, what she says, like when she speaks, is jarring. i mean, why is she crying over a messy room? but, because she's leng, we'll let it slide. '

as i glanced at max, a mixture of annoyance and confusion washed over me. it was a moment that revealed the love i had for shannon and the how much i missed her.

the living room was now filled with a charged energy, as we grappled with our own thoughts and emotions.

maxs playful banter filled the room as he turned to ash with a mischievous grin. ' ash, can i just say, before i came in here, i was watching , you were on X factor innit? '

the memory of ashs X factor experience brought a burst of laughter from her, filling the air with contagious joy. she eagerly responded, ' yeah go on '

max, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, chimed in, ' honestly. tired. tired ' his words resonated with everyone, and the room erupted in laughter, a collective release of shared fatigue.

ash, understanding the sentiment, simply replied, ' fair '

then, max's attention shifted to joyce, playfully pointing at her and exclaiming, ' you , yeah, you're energized. you come into the gaff shouting. bro, be honest, does her breath stink? '

the unexpected remark caught me off guard, and i couldn't help but burst out laughing, unable to contain the hilarity of the situation.

max, seizing the opportunity to continue the lighthearted teasing, added, ' cos she's shouting 24/7. AAAH! '

the room filled with laughter once again, a symphony of joy and camaraderie.

' i was laughing because i felt bad , it's like a pity laugh. but i didn't find him that funny. and it's because he came , if he just came in and was just like i don't know , wasn't trying too hard then i feel like he would have been funny but because he came in like the motivation to like roast all of us and then none of them even worked. like he would just say that someone's breath smelt or like that someone was tired. like it didn't really make sense ' i said to sugar about max's feeble attempts at roasting us, hoping to rile us up.

maxs annoying banter filled the air as he confidently declared, ' if i was in this gaff with you, yeah, you maeve everyone here. i  would have been activated, and every girl here would have been onto man differently. i would have been on smoke. '
