She's highly controlling,

The conversation with jack on the saying he would go is the most recent example.

She told him in no uncertain terms he should not have said it, that it impacted her negatively. She never at any point said to him how do you feel, would you have went, let's talk about it, his feelings were totally irrelevant to her.

She then got into bed with him and actually asked him if he was in there "for the right reasons" insinuating if he didn't want to specifically be with her, then he must be in it for the wrong reason.

I do get when she senses it's going wrong that's when she becomes controlling, telling them what they can and can't do and say, and constantly being "pissed off".

But we shouldn't be rewarding bad behaviour. Kids watching this will think it's ok for your partner to tell you how to behave and what to say if she goes further in the show, it's not ok. Not by a long way. People need to treat each other with respect in relationships and when they go wrong, know they should try to resolve it mutually or end it. Not that you should force the person you're with to behave the way you want and stay with you.

I think you're watching a different show to me Bluntness!!

Jack2 got back together with Laura for the wrong reasons. Why should Laura not call him out on it? It's not controlling to disagree with what someone says, or to ask for clarification. It's maturity.

Shortstuff08 · 19/07/2018 11:01

She is very controlling.

The night the men cooked dinner and she told Jack she had changed her mind (having previously told him that it wasn't working), she was getting frustrated that he didn't just roll over and be grateful that she wanted to get back with him. She kept saying 'you are making this difficult. He wasn't, he just wasn't going to let it slide.

I don't blame him either.

Bluntness100 · 19/07/2018 11:10

I agree totally he got back with her for the wrong reasons, I'm not excusing him.

But she got back with him for the wrong reasons too. She knew it didn't work. Both were at fault. She just wanted to be in a relationship when she tried to get back with him.

But this doesn't excuse her behaviour, and as I keep saying, she did the same to wes. Read the earlier threads, she was constantly picking him up on what he could and could not say. The rest of the housemates were saying it was wrong at the time and expressing discomfort.

She tries to control them into doing and saying the things she wants when she senses they are losing interest.

I think Laura 1 would make a great friend- great company but a total nightmare as a partner I agree. She can't help herself- the relationships in the villa seem totally joyless on both sides from a couple of days in due to her paranoia. No one wants to feel their behaviour is continually being policed. I couldn't stand it .

Hereshopingforimprovement · 19/07/2018 11:17

I love Dani but not sure about Jack 1, something just seems a bit fishy with him.

Love Laura 1, she's my winner and I think her and Paul would make a great couple. Willing that to happen. Alexandra just came across desperate last night with Paul, it was embarrassing.

Bluntness100 · 19/07/2018 11:19

No, I couldn't stand it and if my daughter was in a relationship, she's 21 so same age range as wes and jack, I'd want her to be able to recognise that if her partner was constantly telling her her behaviour was wrong, what she could and couldn't say, that something was very wrong in the relationship.

Either she was behaving badly because it wasn't right, or she was with someone who was trying to control her and to know to walk away. I wouldn't want her to think this is how she should treat people, or how she should be treated. Especially not in the early stages of a relationship.

Communication is key in relationships. A mutual respect. It's not about being told who you can talk to and what you can say as well as how Wrong you are and how your feelings are wrong.

GingerLemonTea · 19/07/2018 11:34

Laura1 for the win!

Twogirlsandme · 19/07/2018 11:54

Wow. I'm totally amazed at people backing Laura to win. I find her whiny, desperate and just plain annoying to watch. I do feel sorry for her, she's been dumped twice which isn't nice. Just definitely not a winner for me.

Bluesue26 · 19/07/2018 12:00

I was wondering whether Paul may already have a girlfriend outside of Love Island. He doesn't seem that invested in Laura or Alexandra. He seems to be going through the motions.
He's definitely one of the hottest men I've ever seen. I swear my ovaries breakdance when he's on the screen Grin

GingerLemonTea · 19/07/2018 12:05

I’m not that fussed if it’s Laura or Jani but I do think she’s up there. What I find odd is the many posts taking criticising her character in great detail over & over again. We get it. You don’t like her.

RoseWhiteTips · 19/07/2018 12:06

What is he - Paul - doing on LI, then, if not to engage properly with the contestants?
I don’t find him attractive, incidentally. Hate beards for a start.

I find that very strange too. Not even Adam or Ellie1 were treated to such vitriol - and they might have deserved it.

RoseWhiteTips · 19/07/2018 12:19

Laura has fabulous looks so the word “desperate” is hardly likely to apply. In real life she must have plenty make attraction. If she is “desperate” to win, that’s fine, surely. It is a contest after all.

RoseWhiteTips · 19/07/2018 12:19

...male attraction

RoseWhiteTips · 19/07/2018 12:23

...male attention

unique1986 · 19/07/2018 12:32

I bet Laura 2 sleeps with Jack 2.
She just seems really unfriendly.

unique1986 · 19/07/2018 12:34

There was thousands of tweets slagging off New Laura last night.

Skrowten · 19/07/2018 12:37

Slagging off Laura2 in what way? I'm not on Twitter. She seems pretty inoffensive

Clarabell100 · 19/07/2018 12:38

I don’t think Laura was asking if Jack2 was on the show for the right reasons, I took it to mean was he with her for the right reasons. And he wasn’t!

With Paul, he does seem slightly stand offish. Maybe because the day before nobody was paying him a single bit of attention. The next day, two girls have been dumped and all of a sudden they both fancy him. You can’t blame him for wanting to take his time. Still hope he picks Laura!

unique1986 · 19/07/2018 12:43

Mainly her looks and voice.
Wondering why the guys like her.

unique1986 · 19/07/2018 12:44

Oh and the amount of times she says like..

unique1986 · 19/07/2018 12:49

E.g.

New Laura looks like the type of girl to get cold sores all the time #loveisland

parklives · 19/07/2018 13:07

I really like Laura 1 hope she wins.
I think Laura 2 is fine, don't get why anyone would take against her - apart from she doesn't fit the usual LI bimbo mould most of the girls in this years series seem to fit.
This year it def looks like the guys are in charge, Megan was for a moment, but now is just Wes's side-kick
