Love island is back - Part 3

[Andthenshesaid]

New thread!

I hope that a new boy comes in and they have to do a recoupling immediately, and the new boy chooses first. That would be interesting.

Pinook I've been thinking about this too. To me Samira didn't come across well at the very start, she seemed very arrogant and entitled so I didn't warm to her immediately because of that.

Since then she's proved herself to be much more kind and lovely. But I think that most recently some people have gone off Samira because of the way she has spoken to Alex and some of the things she has said. So I think there is just slightly less goodwill running in her favour. but I do think it seems unfair that while I'll be thrilled when Alex finally gets a chance, it will most likely mean that Samira gets the boot without being accorded the same chance.

Also on the Laura/Wes thing, I feel like Wes is being influenced by the actions and words of Adam and Eyal. I appreciate the whole how would you know if you never speak to anyone else if this really is the way you should feel. particularly as he's so young so may in fact not know how it feels when things are really good compared to ok. However I think he's picked up bad habits from Adam in the blaming the girls for everything.

On the flip side, I can appreciate that laura feels insecure and upset but I don't think she's handled it very well either. We shall see.

Also I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Eyal was in fact gay

Eyal makes me want to vomit every time he speaks and/or kisses anyone. (not envy) BOAK

I really liked eyal at first but have gone off him now

I think Adam is deliberately stirring up Wes with the comments about Ellie liking him because he thinks if Wes couples up with Ellie instead of Laura it will take the heat off him a bit.

I think Eyal & Meghan are well matched - both vacuous types trading on their looks. I suspect they both want the same thing - exposure to further their careers - so should be fine as a couple. Meghan had the sense not the fall for Adam, so she is pretty streetwise as well.

I have been wondering whether the producers might shake up this round of recoupling, to stop things being too predictable? Maybe the new girls will get first pick and then the boys pick from the rest? Or as someone said upthread, put a new boy in who gets first pick.

The whole thing definitely seems much more scripted this year so it just seems like there may be a twist this time, as the boys are outnumbered by 2.

Cant stand Eyal, I also thought he was gay.
I dont think hes that interested in megan.

I want some boys to go in!

I don't think Wes will jump ship. Unless Laura carries on behaving like she's 12.

One wish I'd have about this series would be that the producers put a sign up to ban bare arses on the counter tops.

Rosie is now wise. I don't think Adam will ever find love as his privates tend to do his thinking for him.

Poor Alex. Why is he always so burnt looking?!

Why do posters think Eyal is gay?

I think if Alex wasn't in the picture when it came to Ellie, Wes would have dumped Laura by now. He doesn't want to finish with Laura, and then Ellie end up with Alex. I really do not get what Wes sees in Laura I have to say.

This series is getting good now!

Eyal is so beautiful but OMG his personality sucks, he is such a goon! I don't think Megan particularly likes him, but he is a safe bet for now.

I agree, I dont think Megan likes Eyal much either.

And Dani just does not fancy Jack AT ALL. She will not kiss him and she hugs him like a pal. Whenever he goes in for a kiss, she does 3 or 4 quick peck-kisses then pulls away. Not the behaviour of someone who really fancies a guy.

POI:

Think Eyal is bisexual. Read that somewhere.

I had a feeling Eyal bats for both sides.

About there being no red heads u think danni is a bit.

Eyal is SUCH a goon.

Someone upthread said it was their first time watching and asking about the power balance, sometimes there will be more girls than boys, sometimes boys than girls - it changes.

I get the impression Dani wouldn't do anything too mad even if it wasn't to not embarrass her Dad. She comes across pretty well.

I feel a bit for Laura. She seemed to be worried Wes was found a bit full on, but he insisted, and now she's let herself like him he seems to be off.

No not Jess, tucking; I was thinking of Lauren Richardson..but looking at Google images she's actually blonde.. not sure where I got red head from

Danni’s original hair colour is red.

Been lurking through three threads so have to join in now.
I.hope Adam stays til the end just for pure entertainment value! He has no empathy at all. I know Rosie felt like she had to say her piece I just wish she could have been a bit less emotional about it. Totally played into his hands.

Agree that he is good for ratings.

Yes, Adam has got to stay. He is watchable because he is such a pig.
