Love Island - part 4

New thread

Alex isn't a nice person but neither is Ellie.

'Laura and Megan are other contestants trying to make something work in their head which just isn’t working.'

I agree. Eyal is such an idiot. His ridiculous dancing 😬 Megan has grown on me. I think she can do better. I really feel for Laura - she needs to dump Wes ASAP.

Whatever anyone thinks of him, I think incel is a ridiculously harsh term to throw about in this situation, it's a really nasty subculture, not appropriate here at all imo.

In my opinion too.

So who does Laura pick, if not Wes? Alex?

They were implying that tomorrow would be a vote to choose fav couples again by viewers with an elimination happening presumably shown on Wednesday?

We really need some new boys in or the bloody second villa or something.

I’m so mad at there being girl eliminations but not boy eliminations. Fine 2 boys have gone but 1 because he “left” and the other because he was attached to a girl that wasn’t the nicest person.

It’s so unbalanced this year and it’s a very odd rhythm to proceedings. It’s fine to keep viewers on their toes but there should still be some kind of format and schedule they stick to most of the time.

I’m not happy lol. I think last year was a bit like this but this year seems worse.

I also agree, it's really not appropriate here at all.

I think the wes Laura thing is over, she is just too needy and I think it's pushed him away, for all he acts older, he's just 20 and seems to lack the emotional maturity to deal with it.

I think both alexs and Ellie need to leave, I don't think being in there is doing either of them any favours.

I simply can't imagine Megan and wes though. Laura should have went for alexs from the start, what possessed her to go after some twenty year old I can't even start to fathom. Especially when she started laying on the husband baby talk.

I feel sorry for Laura.

I’ve been where she is - when you’re not sure about a guy so you tread carefully at first but then he reels you in with his “I’m falling for you” bullshit.

And then just when you let your guard down he starts pulling away, but by then it’s too late because you’re invested now and so you desperately try to hold on to something that never really existed in the first place.

God it’s awful. And worse, you know your behaviour and desperation is completely undignified. Worse for Laura because its playing out on TV

I rewatched as couldn't sleep.

First, Wes is a dick saying ignorant and arrogant mean the same thing as they totally do not. Also you have to be ignorant of something, can't just be generically ignorant unless you have no working brain cells at all which is a nasty thing to say of the woman you're doing bits with even if she has questionable tattoos.

Talking of Wes being a dick, I think Megan wants his. Maybe Eyal didn't ...er meet her expectations.

Laura is needy and demanding, she is really hard work and driven Wes away, he is young and has a mean streak in him anyway. It was never good by to work. She chose completely the wrong person, which is probably what she's been doing for years.

I don't think Ellie has done anything wrong, very cringy of Alex to try and argue with her for not liking him in that way. It was Laura's comment that angered him, she always says the wrong thing and inflames every situation (she's so emotionally unintelligent) Alex needs to leave now, and go home and sort his sunburn out.

Megan has her sights set on wes, she seems pretty brazen and will chase after him right in front of Laura. She's already started picking on Eyal and finding fault with everything he says and does. Some woman have no girl code whatsoever. I'm secretly happy as I cannot stand Eyal he just seems so creepy.

It's interesting by that the two couples having sex already are the ones falling apart.

Samira and Sam are cute together, I hope it continues to grow and doesn't fizzle out.

Didn't understand why Megan was so offended by the "37" guess. One minute she's saying "I'm a woman who likes sex and that's fine" then she says "but just because I like sex doesn't mean I'm sleeping with everyone in the bar" (or something), as if that would make her a "slapper". Chill out fgs. It really wasn't an insult.

I never understand the "I've slept with 200 people" thing. Surely once you get to a certain number you stop counting?

I loved Samira 'flirting'.

"I like your co-ord"

200 and yes only 22!

I'm estimating that's about 3 a month. It sounds so empty and unsatisfying....are there really that many people out there just shagging with no emotional attachment?

I know that Megan and Eyal are about to be over, but I think Megan thinks that she had a very lucky escape choosing Eyal in that first recoupling rather than 'seeing where things go' with Alex, otherwise she would have been in the same position Ellie is in now.

Every time Laura and Wes argue I'm just like 'eh? Wha?' I can never understand what they are flying off the handle about. They are the worst couple ever.

Yes, Megan has had sex with 20 blokes and was so offended that Eyal said..... 37. I mean those numbers are in a similar ballpark aren't they, its not like he said 100 or something.

Megan obviously thinks Eyal is dull as shit, but then so is she?

I would presume any one of that age who's had sex with that many people is probably rubbish in bed. It must be all about the in-out-in-out notch on the bedpost onto the next one. And after seeing the way he kisses I'm sure of it. Seriously, I recoil when I think about that!

Yes 20...37, it's not so different. There's clearly a line between acceptable and unacceptable that were unaware of.

Dunno if I believe the 200 but Adam has repeatedly auditioned for Geordie Shore, where for the blokes it's definitely quantity over quality.

I've always thought re: blokes like that, a lot of them are probably shit in bed because they don't take enough time to work out what works? On to the next one. That'll be Wes when he's out. Curiosity over his massive knob.

I can see why Meghan was offended. Its practically double, surely that IS a big difference. I guess she sees its as Eyal thinking she abit of a bike.

Megan assumed that because she talks about her enjoyment of sex Eyal thought that means she'll have sex with anyone. I can certainly understand why she was annoyed. Eyal was raised in an orthodox Jewish family - perhaps as a religion it still has patriarchal attitudes (like most organised religions)

'I'm estimating that's about 3 a month. It sounds so empty and unsatisfying....are there really that many people out there just shagging with no emotional attachment?'

No, just Adam 😂

Alex is acting like a spoilt prick because no-one fancies him,he was awful to Ellie he knows she didn't play a game he's just spitting his dummy out

Why has Wes got a mean streak? He’s twenty years old. Not emotionally equipped and wants to play the field. And also think intel is totally inappropriate and not true.
Laura is a giant pain in the arse. She has no personality. Is needy,insecure, ridiculously childish. I literally cringe every time she opens her mouth.
I don’t believe Adam.
I think Ellie played a game. She’s entitled to but she’s not being honest. She told Wes and Sam to back off so Alex could pick her. If she had said all along that she was keeping her options, open then that’s different. But she didn’t . She went all out for Alex

Incel is absolutely appropriate, I think posters are thinking of the most extreme manifestations of it. It covers a wide range of attitudes but the essence of it is men who want gfs but can’t get one, and feel they are entitled to sex. They are angry, resentful and self-pitying.

All of which applies to Alex. His angry entitlement makes me feel uncomfortable. Along with his total disrespect for Ellie as a person.

Totally agree. When Dani was trying to tell him Ellie just didn't fancy him he immediately lashed out (like he had with Samira) and proceeded to insult Ellie to the others.
Then when he was arguing with her he was repeatedly trying to put words in her mouth and accusing her of game playing.

I genuinely thought Ellie assumed they would be a friendship-potentially-developing couple.
Meanwhile he was scripting kisses for the benefit of his mates and sulking because she rolled away from him in bed.
He wasn't interested in her as a person at all- to me that screams incel.

Just because he meant to be good guy as per a reality TV show doesn't mean he actually is.

I’m not an advocate for believing what you read in the tabloids, but a woman (legal professional) came forward with her experience with Alex. She dated him from Tinder and he tried to push her sex on the fourth date, making her feel really uncomfortable. When she emphasised her refusal, he indicated he wanted her to leave and then ghosted her.

Of course it may well be bollocks. But from everything I’ve seen of Alex in the villa, it’s quite plausible.
