Love Island 12

[Zampa]

For anyone still interested!

Islanders have come out saying they are told what to say and how to say it

That's clearly overstating it. It's not scripted. Yes she might have been told to mention this poster thing, but to suggest that means the whole conversation was effectively scripted and she was told not just what to say but actually how to say it is a bit of a reach.

I don’t think being told what to say implies a script.

Simply - she will have told them about her time with Jack. And out of that, they will say ‘ok have x conversation on camera and mention a,b,c’.

They do that on Made In Chelsea.

Bluntness - Ellie said in that tabloid interview that they were told what to say and how to say it. If they didn't like the way it would come across she was asked to say it in another way. I never said or suggested it was scripted. That would take actual talent for them to be able to learn lines!!

I don't mind Megan, but I don't for one minute buy the whole poor megan as a victim nonsense.

She knows exactly what she's doing.

The ever.. so.. slow.. way ..of talking
The wide-eyed, ditzy, look at poor old me being led astray.
Her constant referrals to
how everything is so HARD

It's all very Nigella, double-entendre ish.

She knows the effect she has on men and is playing her cards to the full.
I don't blame her.
But Victim? Taken advantage of? Nah. No way.

Anyone else see First Look yet? Looks quite brutal! Georgia not taking it well that she’s not been perceived as loyal by the public!

Whoever said about paradise hotel, LOVED that show!

YAHTZEE!!

So if Ellie2 was sent into the villa to try and split up Jani, it puts to bed the idea that the producers have set them up to win doesn't it?

Was Paradise Hotel waaaaay back in the 2000s? I remember working in some shitty receptionist job in about 2001/2002 and I came across the recaps of that (or something v v similar) on Television Without Pity. I used to read them at the desk and clients would come in and I'd be red faced from the hysterics. Not sure if it was the same but it was an amazing Island based US reality show.

Oh I think it was the same! I looked it up and it was 2003. Omg classic show.

First look - looks good!

Zampa - I think ellie2 was sent in to cause drama and not actually split them up but try to. There had been a lot of talk about Jack and Dani being boring and therefore not deserving to win. Ellie2 was to give them more of a journey. Last year Kem and Amber split up temporarily before getting back together and going on to win.

Yes it was early 2000's and was properly addictive. They didn't give a shit about stealing anyone else's partner and they would scheme in groups to get couples sent home. Brilliant.

Quote from Samira about Georgia below (from Now website). I think this also puts the idea to bed that Georgia was making racist comments about Samira ...

‘Georgia is super confident and bubbly and that’s exactly what she’s always like’. ‘I love her, we got really close and I did feel for her with everything she went through with Josh but she is happy with Sam now. I love that girl.’

I just find Georgia too loud, she shouts over everyone.
Praying she goes tonight...
But I'd bet she doesn't.
I might stop watching if Ellie goes

I just find Ellie so bitchy, she is bitter and nasty.
Praying she goes tonight...
But I'd bet she doesn't.
I might stop watching if Georgia goes 

Thanks guys! I am away without access to ITV2 so have just read through all of this thread for an update. Although have also now just realised that it looks like I shall also miss the final episode. Am hoping my Virgin box hasn't filled up with all the recordings!

This is another interesting article on black women on TV. Deeply depressing.

I might stop watching if Georgia STAYS!!

Oh god not one minute in and we've already had a clip of Georgia saying the L word twice 😩

Georgia really needs to stop banging on about loyalty, she's like a stuck record.

So we are still on Wednesday or Thurday night ?? Rolls eyes
Grrr

Alexandra looked like she couldn't give a shit then with Georgia.

Move on stop putting two days worth into 1 ep!!!!

Alex is bored of Georgia!

I like Ellie's green dress.
