Of course they were ticking boxes. Last night with the girl Josh fancies is as diverse as they could go and Jordan.
So many of the men seem gay with all the OTT makeovers.

bobsandvagene · 29/06/2018 11:11

Didn't 80000 people audition though? Surely they could have found other black women who were more 'made for the show'?

Which girl was Alex interested in again? I thought it was the blonde hairdresser?

Fintress · 29/06/2018 11:13

The new boy Charlie, the 'socialite' is apparently loaded according to the Fail. Doesn't make him any more attractive.

bobsandvagene · 29/06/2018 11:14

Also Georgia is really young-looking isn't she? I'm sure somebody mentioned it but I could never see it but now I can. She could pass as a glanced up 16yo. Or maybe that's just because a lot of the contestants look way older than their supposed ages.

papayasareyum · 29/06/2018 11:14

Megan’s teeth are too big for her mouth. Veneers look silly. I bet her original teeth were fine.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 29/06/2018 11:40

Samira has masses of personality but that doesn’t seem to count. but they’re not looking for masses of personality, they’re mainly looking for blonde hair and someone who will put out.

I find Samira a bit cringe tbh - she seems to be trying a bit too hard to sound cool and it doesn’t work - a bit like Alex saying “sick”! She is quite fun, but she feels fake to me and is shit at flirting. If she had her beautiful face and fun personality, but coupled with the terrible unnatural flowing hair extensions the other girls have to twiddle in her fingers while giggling and fluttering her eyelashes, I’m sure she’d have more luck. However she should just be true to herself and find someone who likes her for who she is, which will be hard while she’s surrounded by Megans.

Telling that most of the boys picked Megan and Ellie in their top 3 - and would have picked Hayley at the start - they just can’t see past clearly fake blonde hair.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 29/06/2018 11:47

I really don't think it's about blonde hair, judging by RL.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 29/06/2018 11:49

Although I do agree the males of Insta-generation seem very much into the fake lips/tits/arses look.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 29/06/2018 12:01

I really don't think it's about blonde hair, judging by RL. Do you not think it odd that several of them put eg Laura, Ellie and Megan in their top 3, who look nothing alike heigh-wise, body shape-wise or facially an have totally different personalities and even ages. The only thing they all have in common is their (dyed) blonde hair.

I think it’s fair enough to have preferences - I would never choose a blonde guy, don’t know why, just don’t fine them attractive. Ooh except Thor.

If I were picking eg from all the boys in there purely on looks I’d go Jack, then Frankie then probably the new guy with the beard and glasses (is it Alex?). Obviously Adam is hot AF but I don’t really like that, I prefer a dad bod preferably with a proper hairy chest which none of these boys have. That may also be one reason I don’t tend to find black men as attractive as they don’t often have a hairy chest/hairy arms. My type is more Mediterranean, which makes sense as that’s my heritage.

bobsandvagene · 29/06/2018 12:10

Hair colour can definitely be a big factor, its like when Adam said Kendall, Rosie and Zara could be sisters and were all so alike- he just couldn't see past the fact they were all brunettes

RoseWhiteTips · 29/06/2018 12:10

I like Sam, followed by the new Jack. The end.
I don’t get the fuss about Josh. Wes I used to like but his vile behaviour is something I can’t see past.

I think we have to keep reminding ourselves this doesn't reflect real life though at least in my experience. I mentor young scientists through my work and they're lovely young men and women about LI age with no fake lips etc in sight. And many of them have girlfriends boyfriends etc. I think this generation is sensible/alright as a whole. Just not the ones who go on reality tv!

Libra · 29/06/2018 12:27

Oh God. I have been drawn in.

My opinion on why all the boys said they preferred Laura, Ellie and Megan is simply that they have more chance of staying on the island with those three. Ellie is coupled up with Alex officially at the moment and therefore will be looking for someone new. Ditto with Laura, who is still officially stuck with Wes. Both girls will know that Alex and Wes won't want to stay with them. Megan is free because Eyal has left and therefore needs to be coupled up.
I don't think that there is anything more to the boys' expressed preferences than that.
I would also suggest the same cynical motives for the two girls who stated they fancied Alex.

HyacinthBuffet · 29/06/2018 12:30

I know it’s the aim of the game but who sits with a group of people and reels off their “Top 3” anyway? Found it all a bit odd.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 29/06/2018 12:36

Of course Samira doesn't get picked because she's black! It's not necessarily racism but it's social conditioning to find black girls less attractive. Dani for example isn't very flirty or particularly attractive but she was picked. Marcel wasnt picked last year until Gabbie came along, because he was black.

The boys all said Megan, Laura and Ellie because they are the single girls. Just like all the girls said Alex. Even when Samria was the single kne the boys didmt really want her, when they always say the single girls because she was black.
The boys normally go for the petite dark haired girls in previous series (Amber, Kady), they don't actually normally go for blondes.

Also Wes will have to ditch Megan if he wants to stay in because him and Meggan aren't a couple, him and Laura are and Laura will deffo pick someone else so Wes will have to couple up.

MiddleClassProblem · 29/06/2018 12:44

HyacinthBuffet lol it’s what they’re there for. I don’t think they’d be doing that if they just met on a night out. Well not to that degree.

MiddleClassProblem · 29/06/2018 12:49

Did anyone watch Survival of The Fittest? I do think it debunks the race theory here that men aren’t as attracted to black women. I think LI casting are a bit crap with their representation of both genders and their casting of women of colour (black and Asian) is more token than thought about on their own merit or what they might give to the show.

HyacinthBuffet · 29/06/2018 13:10

@MiddleClassProblem

I know they want to cut to the chase. Thought they’d be a bit more clever about it instead of laying claim to the same people.

This way most of them could end up in a Rosie “why wasn’t I in your Top 4?” type of situation if they change their minds.

Twirlywooer · 29/06/2018 13:16

Only just watched last night's episode, so apologies if this has been mentioned...but did anyone else see Jack sniffing Dani's pants when he unpacked his suitcase?' 😂

LARLARLAND · 29/06/2018 13:19

Samira is the prettiest, cleverest girl in the house and the fact she gets left out is rascist. I don’t like Adam but credit to him he picked out Samira in the snog, marry, pie game as a girl he’d find attractive in a club.

Whattheheq · 29/06/2018 13:22

There are always men with niche fetishes - Asian babes is another. That in itself is quite annoying.
Maybe that’s the reason white men don’t got for black women, they’re accused of having fetishes and told it’s annoying. Confused

did anyone else see Jack sniffing Dani's pants when he unpacked his suitcase? 😂
Yeah 😂😂 but I think it was because she have covered them in so much perfume.

MiddleClassProblem · 29/06/2018 13:22

Casa amour was less than a week last year wasn’t it? I remember it feeling like a flash in the pan. I wonder what day they are doing the recoupling.

ElspethFlashman · 29/06/2018 13:24

Yes..... Perfume from her VAGINA! Grin

MiddleClassProblem · 29/06/2018 13:25

Whattheheq yes, I’m not sure Dh’s has a fetish because he married me, nor my mum for my dad. If he ever got his wish of me dressing as Princess Leia then that would be a fetish. Although these days it would look more like Jabba the Hutt in a gold bikini.

Thesearmsofmine · 29/06/2018 13:29

These posts move so fast! I am hoping the recoupling happens quickly because there are too many people now, I prefer a smaller group!
