The guys aren't even hiding how fucked up their views on women are this year. It's getting embarrassing to watch.

Obviously, watching Love Island in the first place isn't embarrassing AT ALL! Grin

wontonsoup · 27/06/2018 01:38

I honestly don't get why they all fancy Wes, looks wise he is 4/10 in my opinion. And the fact that he is a typical manipulative bastard...I can't even. I don't like Laura but thought she handled it well and I'm not fussed she called Megan a slag, it is shit behaviour from Megan, who a few people have mentioned, seems like a total sociopath!

I'd love to see new arrivals turn Megan's head hahaha.

Would like to see Alex and Ellie go - cba with either of them.
Unpopular opinion but would also like to see Jack and Dani go - boring couple, I don't watch love island for sweet love tbh, prefer the drama!!! But if they send Jack's ex in, might be good because she's the split image of Dani.

MakeItStopNeville · 27/06/2018 03:13

Wonton Funnily enough, I think Jack and Dani are the most fake of the lot of them. Very carefully engineered to be the cheeky chappy and his girl.

MadameFoner · 27/06/2018 04:31

Megan is what my nan used to call "a man's friend". Felt sorry for Laura tonight, but it was never going to last, sometimes she looks like his mother!

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 27/06/2018 06:55

Laura and Wes were never going to last. No relationship should have that many arguments and issues in the first weeks! He was not the person she wanted him to be - shed created this idea of him and then got annoyed when he wasn't that person. He wasn't nice to her quite often but for some reason she kept forgiving him. I'm actually not bothered that Megan managed to turn Wes' head as I'm glad him and Laura have split, for Laura's sake, in much the same way that it was good Adam dumped Rosie.

SoftBallSophie · 27/06/2018 07:09

Megan is just really really unintelligent, she just glazes over and contributes nothing to conversations in the villa.

She has no feelings for anyone but herself, she is so empty and shallow and will hurt others on an impulsive whim to please herself.

I can understand why she has never had any girlfriends, she is incapable of loyalty and compassion.

And as for Wes....he is a nasty piece of work, immature and selfish.

Of course, Adam & Zara showing their true colours, egging him in to leave Laura. (Everyone was looking at Meghan smirking when Laura was upset....but did you see Zara, grinning with delight?) nasty girl.

Craftylady28 · 27/06/2018 07:10

I'm just catching up with last night's - omg cringe at Megan trying to break up, preceded by Eyal telling her how she's got his heart beating faster Grin

boboboobs1 · 27/06/2018 07:14

Zara & Adam are boring too, Someone said up thread said Adam auditioned for Geordie Shore a few times, you need to have a personality for that show.

Bluntness100 · 27/06/2018 07:21

I suspect that megan's smirking was similar to Adams, it's a nerves thing, a lot of people do it. Past that as said earlier, I do think she was a bitch on doing what she did and I found it interesting she said she had no friends.

However, I think those pointing out about no one going to comfort Laura have made a really good point. There is something we are clearly not seeing, she isn't popular with the boys or the girls basically. The boys were nearly queuing up to pie her. I'm not sure, but the girls didn't seem on her side either, only Georgia tried to help her.

Generally girls would be on the side of the one that got dumped, rushing to comfort. But in this instance that wasn't the case. Which maybe tells us Laura was bullying wes a bit more than we all understood. They all see a lot more in there than we do, and there will be a reason no one seems to have taken Laura's side on this.

Chipstick10 · 27/06/2018 07:28

That is a very good point Bluntness regarding Laura. The boys defo don’t seem impressed with Laura, even jack made a little comment. I also noticed that in every clip we saw last night where Ellie was telling her side of the story and attempting to cry, no one hugged, agreed with, boosted her.

Megsmcgoo · 27/06/2018 07:32

Felt awful for Laura, it’s not nice to see women against each other for the sake of a man. I can’t understand the attraction to Wes personally! Megan will probably get bored of him soon

Voted for Eyal and Megan, I think if they went it wouldn’t be as interesting

boboboobs1 · 27/06/2018 07:35

I was wondering about the friendships/dynamics in there. Didn’t Laura tell Adam off? Perhaps they are all so ruthless & determined to win/please the public that they never take sides. Or maybe it’s editing. If I was in there & even if I didn’t like Laura I would acknowledge that what happened was out of order & comfort her.

TatianaLarina · 27/06/2018 07:40

It’s totally unrealistic to think that a nigh 30 year old and a man 6 months out of his teens, would couple up at first sight, argue continually for 2 weeks and actually stay together.

It was always a question of when not if.

The reason other contestants were so pro Wes jumping ship is because they can see it’s not working and they find Laura’s dramas tiresome.

I disliked Laura, thought her delusional, I found Wes massively over-rated: very ordinary, very boring man. Kept taking potshots at Laura rather than just ending it. Megan is very odd.

But I can’t blame Wes and Megan for wanting to jump ship as the couples they were in weren’t working,

Bluntness100 · 27/06/2018 07:43

Yeah it's weird, normally if someone gets dumped, and Did what Megan did everyone would rush to the one who got dumped, because let's face it no one likes that.

But literally in this case, other than Georgia, no one went to Laura, no one tried to help her. And Megan's clearly not hugely popular either, so it wasn't that, but for some reason they all left Laura to it. So there is definitely something more than we have seen. It's not a normal reaction. They are not all bitches lacking empathy so clearly something more.

Adam commented he'd been dying to do it for ages when he pied her. Because she was constantly blowing up at wes. I do wonder if it started to look like bullying him. Whatever it was the rest of the villa clearly didn't like it at all.

And no I don't think Ellie is as sweet as originally thought. I posted right at the start she was smirking when Megan basically said she was done with eyal. I wonder if he was the reason she decided not to give it a crack with Alex, as Megan was already complaining about eyal at that stage. So she may have sensed an opportunity there. From first clips, eyal clearly is aware he stands a chance....

ElspethFlashman · 27/06/2018 07:44

Yes I was quite shocked only the reliable Georgia went with Laura.

And she was pied by 3 (??) of the lads.

Sad

I think Laura has just been too sour and narky for everyone and their sympathy is burnt out. They may not approve of Meghan, but they're still clearly sick of Laura.

PrincessScarlett · 27/06/2018 07:53

Yes, Zara was smirking just as much as Megan. I think she's a mean girl and has less to do with the other girls than Megan. I think Adam and Zara should go. Or Megan and Eyal and then Wes will be totally screwed now he's pied off Laura.

I wonder what on earth has gone on between Ellie and Bird for her extreme reaction to his pie-ing her.

Hopskipjumping · 27/06/2018 07:54

Haven't caught up on the full thread yet so don't know if its been mentioned but I had to laugh when Zara was encouraging Megan to pursue Wes and actually compared her situation to hers and Adams and said something along the lines of "it'll be hard and be prepared to face a back lash but it'll be worth it, just look at me and Adam."

Naty1 · 27/06/2018 08:12

I expect Ellie still thought Bird would fancy her. And it was clear at points she liked him. But only said no so she could 'try' with Alex. So giving Alex a chance she has annoyed Alex/herself and ruined her chances with the other lads.

Just wondering if the support for Laura would have been greater if her gripes had been more obviously justified. Or are women not allowed to complain about men being annoying? We just have to put up with it.

lentillover · 27/06/2018 08:18

I think it’s more the boys bullying Laura. (Based on what we get to see anyway)

Adam doesn’t like her because she called him out on his treatment of all the girls and he’s far too narcissistic to accept that, so he’s been having his little dig all the time, and I think he might be quite influential with the boys (Ugh Jack saying but Adam’s my boy, when Adam was blatantly behaving like a dick, Jack wouldn’t challenge his behaviour certainly)
Add in Wes going round saying one thing to Laura and a totally different thing to the boys (who don’t get to see what we see) and they get the impression she’s being unreasonable and unhinged, whereas we can see she’s understandably frustrated with all the mixed messages she’s receiving from Wes.

It’s pretty common abusive behaviour that they make out the victim is the unreasonable one and turn others against them. And we’ve all seen how Wes and Adam have behaved.

Moonkissedlegs · 27/06/2018 08:19

Yes something has clearly gone on between Ellie and Sam that hasn't been shown, for her to react like that when he pied her. I was quite taken aback by it!

QueenOfMyWorld · 27/06/2018 08:23

My theory is that Ellie got pissed off that sam pied her because she fancies him...watch this space

boboboobs1 · 27/06/2018 08:25

I’m confused that so much seems to be going that’s not filmed but yet everyone i know has complained it’s boring, why won’t they show that?

MrsFassy · 27/06/2018 08:25

Yep I definitely agree Ellie got pissed off 'cause she fancies Sam and thought she'd be able to get him. She wasn't expecting him to 'pie' her, she was probably expecting him to snog her.

FrozenMargarita17 · 27/06/2018 08:28

Megan is SO brazen !

InTheLightOfTheMoon · 27/06/2018 08:29

I dont think it was an awkward smirk tbh. Her and Zara both sat their grinning. And surely if it was she would have tried to hide it abit better? She was literally sat there like a cheshire cat. She strikes me as very competitive against other women and felt like she 'won.'
