I was like ok fine -- UNTIL HE MENTIONED VANESSA. lol dude....

I think Shake is absolutely a POS guy. No doubt. It's easy for him now to say he played it up but the rumors of how he was acting (and the edit that he got) don't bode well for him. 

Hear me out...I think Shake is acting like he's playing the villain, because deep down he's actually really hurt, and he's immature, and this is how he's handling it. He didn't want to marry Deeps, however HER rejecting HIM (probably something he's not used to happening) hurt him so much that he's just lashing out because he's a freaking child. So "playing the villain" is still getting him the attention he so desperately craves!

Um, no way he was "playing" the villain. I don't buy it for one second!!!! That is so something a real villain would try to claim.

I think it’s own thing to play the villain in the pods, when you don’t yet have any deep connection with anyone and you know you want to stick out for the sake of good tv. 

It’s another thing to forge a relationship with someone and THEN say horrible things about them to the cameras. I think it’s a good excuse for him, and he might have been playing it up initially, but he’s using that to justify things. 

Either way though… if you play the villain, you gotta expect consequences.

Is Shake the Spencer Pratt of Love is Blind? Does he really understand "the villain" assignment and is just playing it up? I think to an extent, that could be true, but when he was filming in Mexico I'm sure he didn't make his decisions based on "being the villain." He also said he wasn't sorry for the way he acted...

The reunion comes out tomorrow and I am very interested in how he plays it. Although, he has said he plays it up. So the question is.. do we think Shake is REALLY a villain, or PLAYING a villain?

Is Shake "playing the villain"
