Love Island 9

[Bizarretortoise]

Other thread is nearly full.
Looks like it’s all going to kick off tonight.

I agree @softballsophie

Just reading that LI has led to an unprecedented increase in enquiries for cosmetic surgery, with some clinics offering 'love Island packages'.

Independent article here

What a shame it couldn't have positioned itself as a force for body acceptance, but then would viewers watch if they weren't so gorgeous? Lots of criticism even on here for the fact that Alex doesn't tan, Grace looks old, Laura's skin. Maybe we're the problem, they're just giving us what we want?

My gorgeous dd, in conversation about that article, entirely happy with her appearance usually, just said 'if it only costs £30k to look like Megan I'll start saving now'. They're walking adverts!

Why didn't they show Georgia saying she would go for Ellie last night? It was in one of the promo clips then they didn't show it last night?

I think it would have changed opinions massively if they had.

To be fair, if I had £30k spare and an absolute guarantee I'd look like Megan, I would seriously consider it! I'm 35 and never before not liked my face but c'mon! She's stunning.
although I'd need another 3million to get the body she has

I think Jack2 is blameless. He came back and told Laura the full truth before someone else did, and stuck to his story.

I agree. He had to tell Laura, it would have got back to her if he hadn’t and then it would have looked like he’d concealed it.

I guess beauty is the eye of the beholder. I think Megan is attractive but in that very done surgery look, think it’s the nose, that happens to be in fashion at the moment. Also everyone just ends up looking the same, the geordie shore girls all have the same cheeks, lips etc. That is boring.
Grace would look better without the filler. I think Samira is very pretty & thought the original blonde was very striking.

30k would you a degree. Which I doubt Megan has.

@barbradear you are right! It was in the first look but pretty sure they didn't include that line in the show?

It's a gamble though isn't it for those that want all the procedures - you could end up like the Smegan or like that Charlotte from Geordie Shore and other cosmetic casualties.

I prefer my eyes and natural nose and boobs to the Smeg's but could be tempted by those extra cheekbones ! Not tempted enough to actually go through with it though.

If you've got a dd of an impressionable age who seems swayed by it, show her all the horror stories, there are plenty of them.

I did laugh out loud at the commentator talking about the barneys as this is what we call 'a quiet night in with your mates in Scotland' lol

Agree using the word cunt amongst women just not the done thing

Does anyone think Jack2 has a look of Will Ferrell about him

Yes DaffoDeffo I knew he reminded me of someone. He was especially Ferrell when explaining himself to Laura after the kiss

(Wide eyed innocent look)

Agree wholeheartedly with Bekabeech

Would also add that Alex has always been a big fish in a small pond throughout his school life looks wise and is smarting and embarrassed from finding himself situation in this group of men, the guys he felt superior to in his own sphere. I think he’s probably getting the biggest life lesson

Rosie and Darryl were the kind of girls being sent out at school

Zara is the teachers daughter type who the Adam types picked on but secretly fancied.

Ellie is the girl you feared if you were on the fringe of a popular group because your inclusion or exclusion fell on her word

“From finding himself, in this situation, one of the guys he felt superior to in his own social sphere”

Oh god i also think Megan's dad is attractive. The shame of it 😳

One of the contestants said that Megan was easily led, and I think that's the case.

It's weird. I think she's an attractive woman, but I don't think she's stunning, beautiful etc.

And Ellie really is one nasty little piece of work. I'm still gobsmacked over something so small as did Georgia give jack a drunken peck on the lips or not, and was between Laura, jack and Georgia, resulted in Ellie wading in and publicly shouting at Georgia that she was an ugly cunt. It's just so out of line and disproportionate.

I also think jack was shit stirring. He could have downplayed it but he didn't, he made it more than it was.

Iain Stirling on Twitter, would love if he did this!

Is Georgia the only one who hasn't had work done?

Has Georgia possibly had lip fillers? Not sure.

Jack2 reminds me of butthead

I doubt Samira’s had any work done.

Jack2 reminds me of butthead

Oh my god YES! 😂

Do they get proper support when they leave? Like counselling etc. I do worry about that, I wonder how Adam has felt seeing the reaction to his gaslighting.

Megan is obviously very insecure and given what she looked like before she must have been desperately unhappy to change her appearance so dramatically. I can understand a parent doing whatever they can to make their child happy, seeing someone you love miserable is a terrible thing

I would say Georgia has had slight lip fillers. I am on a couple of FB beauty groups including Mrs Gloss and absolutely loads of the women on there have lip fillers, quite normal women showing pics of their lip fillers, it's totally normal like lipstick.
