Love Island is back

[whoopsiedaisies]

Who is going to be watching it?

I had to check myself Feodora!

Agree with a pp who said Eyal saw Kendall was into Adam still, he kissed Kendall at the truth or dare game so he'd put it out there for Kendall to act on IF she had wanted to. Or he thinks Hayley will be grateful and give him another chance, unlikely.

It does feel more staged this year. The people all seem polished. Jack obviously chose the brightest option for his teeth but they all look like they've had them whitened. I noticed Eyal's top teeth are white while his bottom teeth are a normal colour.

The conversations and situations feel forced. It feels really different from the first three series.

I can't say it feels more staged than last year to me - it was all very stagey last year too.

It just feels more wooden and stilted because there are a lot of bland, quiet personalities without much to say for themselves.

I hope they do a sizeable cull soon.

I can't believe it was Kendall! She was the most popular girl - Niall, Adam and Eyal have all liked her, so it seems unfair that she has gone. I'm not surprised that Adam picked Rosie, but they should have left Eyal last to pick then it could have been between Kendall and Hayley and hopefully Eyal would realise Hayley is just using him to stay in.

Ooh I just want to ask Kendall if she’s ok hun, that Adam is a bloody snake.

Do they go anywhere or do anything on this island or are they going to spend the rest of the series sitting on their arses and saying like in front of their sentences a lot?

Rosie strikes me somewhat like a preying mantis, like she'd mate and then eat them afterwards. Maybe that's how Adam will meet his end.

I've only gone and ordered myself a personalised LI water bottle. DS (13) who thankfully has no interest in it whatsoever is currently shaking his head at me in despair .

Praying mantis even.

Eeeew, just watching it now and Adam is such a sleaze. I can see why Rosie would behave like that as she needs to find someone fast in order to stay in but poor Kendall. She's such a sweet girl. I think she could have got on well with Eyal or even Alex.

Just shows how none of them really fancy each other (apart from Laura and Wes and Jack and Dani) as they've just stuck with their original partners who they blatantly don't fancy. Doesn't seem much chemistry between any of them.

Yeah Kendall was robbed. But I don't think she's over her last break-up.

I was hoping Alex would shock everyone and choose Kendall. Take the power from Adam and Eyal who’s about as deep as a puddle.

Alex is nice and gentle and would’ve been good for Kendall’s poor broken heart.

I think they'll bring Kendall back later on in the show.

She was my fave girl.

The Liverpudlian is a bit shallow!!
Eyal - oh jeez Louise
Adam - in it for himself
Airhostess - not sure yet
Niall - kind of like him
Doctor - needs to loosen up but like
Doctors girl - like her
Wes- like him

Did anyone else notice that Kendal was happy with Niall but ever since Adam picked her she was unhappy and tearful?

Thought Laura might be a redhead as she is quite freckly under all the makeup? Or is that just skin damage?

The thing is, Alex might very well have been good for Kendall. He might have treated her well and been prepared to wait a bit, which is what she wants BUT. Isn't this the issue? Yes she was much happier with Niall but she went for the smooth handsome one who treated her badly and until she manages to change the pattern and give the less good looking but better for her blokes a chance, it'll keep happening.

I noticed that kittykatty.

I haven’t watched the show before but ds1 who is a big fan was watching it this week so I did too. I can really see the appeal and I think that for alll it’s detractors it’s a good show for teenagers to watch because they will learn not to be played by arseholes and see what a healthy relationship can look like.

I don’t think it’s really fair to say Kendall chose Alex, RideSallyRide. He chose her and she didn’t really have any choice in the matter? She didn’t want to leave Niall.

I thought Kendall was really wet tbh. They're there to have fun not have intense convos about how insecure they feel every five minutes. I think Adam choosing her in the first place was a decision made by the producers though, they wanted Niall getting all stressed out. That was a couple that would have worked and settled far too early and they don't want that.

I like Georgia, Dani, Jack (awful shoes with shorts though ), Alex and Samira.

Bloody hell Georgia is an insensitive cow. Kendall is leaving and she's about to cheer because Rosie is staying. At least Niall has enough class to stop her.

Wanted Eyal to yoga off before - now 😡

Adam is just awful.

I don't think Georgia genuinely likes Niall, I think she is leading him on to keep safe. Watch her body language compared to his. I bet she'll desert him as soon as she can move on to someone else. He is irritatingly immature though! Sweet but immature!

I like Dani and Samira now out of the girls. They both seem pretty genuine.

Alex seems like a nice guy and is a bit different to the others so want him to stay in but think he's on thin ice. Jack is sweet as is Wes. I find Niall so annoying but could be because he reminds me of a few guys I know who were ugly ducklings at school, went a bit alternative and became better looking and went a bit mad with all the new attention. He just seems very immature but then so is Georgia so I think they'll get on well and he'll certainly be loyal, he's totally smitten with her.

Not loving the look of any of the newbies but we'll see! Hopefully they'll add a bit of excitement.

@AaronPurrSir true she didn't pick him initially but I just wanted to go in there and shake her when she went back to him the morning after he'd dumped her and snogged Rosie, saying "I really like you I want this to work".

That was really sad to watch.

Eyeore is such a plonker. I cannot abide Hayley. How is it possible to be that thick?

Adam is discusting but I think he and Rosie make a good team. I wish Alex had chosen Kendall. I reckon if Adam had chosen Rosie and Eyeore was last, he might have chosen Kendall rather than Hayley...

Danni is my favourite I think.

My first time watching this and don't understand why they've let someone's creepy dad in?
