Love Island - part 4

New thread

New boy Sam didn't have his "sleepover" on the sofa with Rosie. So he can't be interested in her despite flinging herself at him!

[MiddleClassProblem]

Yeah, his “keeping it secret” was the lamest back track. Clearly just trying to not make her feel unwanted but not interested.

[MiddleClassProblem]

Although I think Sam might be too aware of how people view certain islanders too. But worried he’s going to be conscious of this for the first week or two.

[Shambu]

I think Samira saw Rosie with slightly new eyes. And also knew or didn’t want to compete in the desperate flirting stakes.

Totally. Samira is a bit dull but she does have some dignity.

For all Rosie's bitching about Zara not being a girl's girl (which I don't actually think is true) she tries to outdo her friend at the first opportunity. I know they're there to get dates, but you don't see Samira behaving like that, nor Zara and Ellie when they were talking to Sam.

[Shambu]

'Keeping it a secret' was amusing, and so was Rosie falling for it.

[ScarletLouise]

Will Sam be first to pick tonight? I agree it could go several ways

Rosie is so cringey I think she has low self esteem and needs constant validation. She's very happy to be in Zara's position but can't cope with the rejection when the shoe is on the other foot, and can't contemplate a man choosing another girl over her. She was annoyed over not being in sams top 4 as well and immediately started with the OTT flirting and 'why am I not in your top 4?!'
The heavy makeup is a reflection of this too. I always say it but I would love it if she had a makeunder. She would look so much better without the Disney witch eyebrows, lip fillers and shovelled on slap. I think there's a very naturally pretty girl underneath all that.

Ellie just isn't into Alex. He's just got zero personality. On paper he ticks lots of boxes but then in RL he's just so awkward with nothing about him. I do feel sorry for him, it just isn't really the place for him.

I don’t think he will pick Rosie because she is no challenge and threw herself at him. If he has been watching he will have seen her dramatics (I don’t blame her for being upset Adam was a shit) and will probably want to steer clear of that. I really dislike the way she dresses with her boobs hanging out all the time and the ott make up, she would look so much lovelier with it all toned down. Samira on the other hand looked gorgeous last night.

[SleepingInYourFlowerbed]

I'm so embarrassed for Rosie that she fell for the "keeping it secret" "you're the obvious choice" lines from Sam. She definitely needs validation all the time. But I think her heavy, excessive flirting might have worked a bit and Sam might think it's worth a shot, if only to get his legover!

[Thesearmsofmine]

I agree that Ellie isn’t into Alex, he seems nice enough but is just on the wrong show and I am concerned for his skin, he is always so red!

[Moonkissedlegs]

What was the 'keeping it secret' thing, I missed that bit?

I get the feeling Eyal is shit in bed. I can't imagine him being able to handle Megan's magnificent breasts!

I really want to like the new boy Sam, but I just cannot get over the brows. Like, in real life I think they would actually be a deal breaker.

[ScarletLouise]

His brows are like uneven sperms! I guess that's easily sorted though.

[Moonkissedlegs]

I guess that's easily sorted though.

I know, but then the fact that he happily walks around like it and thinks it looks good is what would be the deal breaker.

Unless he actually said, 'oh God I had an absolute disaster with the brow lady just before I came in: I didn't really want to get them done but my sisters convinced me and she totally fucked them up' in which case all would be forgiven!

[MyRelationshipIsWeird]

I really want to like the new boy Sam, but I just cannot get over the brows. Like, in real life I think they would actually be a deal breaker.. I agree! I met someone in Plenty of Fish who looked gorgeous in his pics, started chatting and he sent me a FB friend request. His photos on FB are obvs more up to date and his eyebrows are so over-plucked that I just instantly went off him! Men with plucked eyebrows just look like an off-duty drag queen.

My DP has a magnificent monobrow eyebrows. His SIL is in beauty and keeps threatening to wax them I’m ok with plucking the odd straggler but no man looks good with shaped brows. Leave them be FFS!

[MyRelationshipIsWeird]

What was the 'keeping it secret' thing, I missed that bit?. When Rosie asked why she wasn’t in his top 4 he said obviously he thought she was very attractive and he was just keeping it secret! Wonder if that’s why he originally had 5 but didn’t want it to be like “oh, he’ll pick Rosie or Samira then” Probably been told to mention girls already couple up to keep the audienceboys on their toes

[OutofTyme]

Sam won't be first to pick unfortunately- it's always the more established couples first.

[OutofTyme]

Last year Chris was going to pick Olivia and then Mike got her first so maybe that will happen with Adam / Zara / Sam?

[Bluntness100]

I'm also starting to think Ellie isn't really into Alex unfortunately, Sam may go for her. Poor Alex. I also think it's Georgia or one of the new girls he will go for.

I also think Rosie is naturally very pretty without all the make up. A couple of times she was in shot on camera and I actually thought "who's that?" She looks so unrecognisable at times.

I don't think Sam is into her either to be honest.

Samira is also naturally very pretty, but she is not a flirt and not very good with boys that way . She's literally like Alex and the way he interacts with girls in that regard. The two of them may end up coupled up again tonight,,,

[Butterflykissess]

why did he only do one brow though? surely he can see they dont match?!

[TheNavigator]

I think Rosie will go and I think that will be a good thing, because I think the current situation is chipping at her self esteem & is not healthy for her - she is better off out of there away from Adam's fuckwittery.

[Bluntness100]

Yes I think there is a High chance Rosie will go as well. Unless Sam picks her, then I don't think anyone else will.

[OutofTyme]

I think Samira is looking for someone who does all the running and really shows how much they are into her. Which is fair enough especially on Love Island.

[ScarletLouise]

Samira seems a lot more confident and less awkward than Alex but just doesn't seem to want to flirt? I agree she's just not playing the game and needs to go really.

[OutofTyme]

I agree that Rosie needs to go - she'll be much happier out of there away from Adam.

[OutofTyme]

Actually I think if Rosie goes she needs to throw a drink over Adam in the style of Grace from BB7 😂

[Clarabell100]

Maybe this is a daft question but this is the first series of LI I’ve watched so I need to ask...

If Sam was to choose Zara or Georgia would he not essentially be voting himself of the island as they could easily just continue to be coupley with Adam and Josh, with the exception of the challenges, and then pick them at the next recoupling? Or is that not how it works? You can’t force someone to be part of an actual couple, surely. Would seem pointless for him to do that?
