Love Island 8

[Zampa]

In advance of tonight's show ...

I like that there's loads of people in there. But what's the point when only a select few are given airtime. The others don't just sit around silent all day, surely.
What about the interactions between Adam and Darylle, Samira and Oil Slick, how's grace getting on with Alex? Who are the new girls bonding with or are they sticking to each other? Etc etc. Being on for the best part of two months, there's enough room and time for everyone I would've thought!

Ooh seen first look, interesting! All Meg's eggs may not be in one basket.

We never see anything much of Ellie 1.

I miss Chris and Kem

Megan is going to love Wes grafting for her. Alex needs to get a back up asap

I don’t think Alex2 is that into Megan to be honest. So maybe Wes might succeed.

I’m getting frustrated by the same few getting air time & not getting to see the relationships & dynamics of the actual group. Which girls are friends? Who likes who? I feel like everyone is super guarded about how they present themselves to the media etc. No one seems to be saying what they really think? Eg all the shocked faces when Adam walked in with Daryll, has anyone said anything to him? Or Laura not mentioning what Megan said about Samira? I can’t imagine Olivia keeping quiet about that.

Yeh hardly any friendships get shown.
Girls gossiping or making bonds can be great viewing.

And not staged sitting on the roof...

What did Megan say about samira?

Oh I'm sure loads was said we just didn't see it.
The most real bits are them standing around in the kitchen or bedroom.
I wanna know what was being said when they were eating crisps lol

It was better when they were allowed to be seen smoking, far more gossip shown in the smoking area for some reason. Bit like the outside of venues now.

Megan told Laura Samira had told M to go for it with Wes (or similar) When Laura had discussed Wes with Samira, Samira acted suprised & didn’t tell her about her prior chat with Megan.

All the talk about Dani and Jack not kissing properly. ... In the back ground of a scene in the weekly round up they were in the pool wrapped around each other kissing. I reckon the pecks are when Dani knows the cameras are focusing on them as she doesn't want to be seen fully going for it on TV

So the latest, it seems, is that Wes has decided to win Megan back. She says she still fancies him. Oh god she is tiresomez

Love Island's Wes gets desperate as he plots to steal Megan and she contemplates mugging off Alex

Wes handpicks three of the boys to help with his mission to 'get Wes a ting'

A ting! Omg, he really is a yoof.

They're only allowed to smoke one person at a time so we're not missing out on anything by it not being shown.

They seem to focus on one or two couples storylines for a few episodes, then switch to another couple. In the beginning Adam was getting a lot of air time for example. In a few days they will move on from Wes, Georgia, Dani I suspect and will see more of those getting little air time. I would like to see more of Sam

I miss the smoking a lot , and it needs more booze and relaxation all round!

The smoking chats were the best

I definitely think the bit with the boys sneaking out to go to casa amor, then the bit where the girls wake up in the morning and all the boys have disappeared was 100% staged
I don't why they don't have to one of those 'the people/relationships are real but some of what you see has been set up for your entertainment' like they do with towie

It’s like watching Towie let’s face it

Why is Josh wearing a shirt from 1992?
