Love Island 14

[Bizarretortoise]

Get grafting mumsnetters 😉

I think she changed the 'temperature' of the relationships.

They felt they had to tell her 'all was fine' though as whenever they said anything she would say 'I don't understand, what do you mean by that?' - sort of over analysing everything. I am not saying either Wes or Jack 2 were angels, but I really do think she wore them both down with incessant analysis of what they said, did or thought.

Yes.

I don't know if I can be bothered to keep going with this series.

Exactly she was the one that changed the temperature

Completely agree with you Rainy September!

I really don't see it as 'needy', when you've observed something questionable and you want to talk about it.

Gosh, Georgia really didn't want to go did she! I guess she had to otherwise her loyalty would get questioned yet again!

You don't think it's needy to go on and on about something, keep bringing it up?

How are people buying in to the Sam and Georgia thing?! He may like her but she deffo isn't that in to him. If Paul had shown her interest or Josh2 wasn't so full on she would've jumped ship to either of them to stay in. I think Sam would've been loyal to her though. She's just gone along with the whole star crossed lovers thing probably at the producers request. It won't last on the outside at all.

WRT Laura1 she clearly intimidates the other islanders. The girls (I think Dani and Megan) have both said how she stares you down and made them feel really uncomfortable so she must be even more intense in a relationship. Wes and J2 both said how much hard work she is, but then again they probably would!

It was very clear how much hard work she was before either Wes or Jack jumped. The HMs could see it.

Wrt Georgia - Sam wanted to leave and Georgia couldn't really say that she wanted to stay again without looking like she didn't care about him. I agree that if either newbie had been a possibilty she might have jumped to them.

I don't think, sadly enough for Laura, that Paul picked her for the right reasons. I think he picked her because he felt he should, because lobster boy wanted back with Alexsandra and because of public sympathy for her, and peer pressure from the others.

So I suspect there is further heartache ahead for Laura.

I definitely think Laura is intimidating. I think it would be hard to intimidate Dani though but she doesn’t look that comfortable with her.
Why did Jack 1 feel the need to tell Alex that Laura and jack had kissed?
Why is it so important to the producers that Jani win? Although I thought I heard somewhere (think it was when Dani’s mum was on This Morning) that she and Danny are in contact with the producers . Why would that be?

Because Jack knew that Alex fancied her too.

I think Paul would have been much better off with Alexandra.

I think Laura1 can't deal with people being as direct with her, as Dani is.

It may be that she isn't used to it. But she gets very wound up by it, imo. But expects people to be ok with her being quite direct.

I wonder if it's that, that makes people feel uncomfortable around her.

I think basically people hit a nerve with Laura. So she knows what's being said is true, but she doesn't want to hear it and she doesn't want them to say it. So she reacts badly.

What is it Dani said, she puts her head down and looks like she wants to go for you like an animal? Dani tends to be very pragmatic from what we've seen and not prone to dramatics, so I'd say her comment was probably fairly accurate.

Laura doesn't seem to be popular in the villa. She's no close friendships with anyone it seems, when she does talk to people it's the youngest in there and they clearly aren't her close mates, so something is very off with her ability to form and retain relationships.

Felt sorry for Stephanie being picked last by new gay Josh and having to stand there completely alone whilst he still made the 'im choosing this girl because' speech' and leaving a pause before announcing the name, even though she was the last one left! She just had to stand there in front of everyone bless her.

I personally think Dani is completely prone to dramatics- we just don’t see it as she is ‘protected’ and jack isn’t going to put a foot wrong on the show.

I still like Laura, I just think k being older and having lived means she can see some of these things coming before they do. I don’t think Paul had a connection with Alex, suspect that was only added to add a flavour of drama.

If next year's line up includes a d-lister's little princess I think I'll give it a miss

Megan doesn't speak anymore. She was just used to engineer the Wes and Laura 1 break up and now we hardly see her. I thought she would be a much bigger character than she is.

I don't think Laura1 is intimidating. I think because she is older and has more life experience she is seen to be managing/taking control of situations. If anyone can be accused of being intimidating it's the Four Fuckers huddled together not interacting with the others and thinking they're the "cool gang".

OMG have just watched the Britney Spears video with hot sexy Paul in! He's kept that quiet that he's snogged her...in a professional capacity of course!😂

I think it's more because she's sour and prickly and prone to taking offence.

If Laura1 was intimidating would Megan have made a play for Wes? Imagine if she had done that to Olivia in season 3!

I think Laura gets far too much flak just for standing up for herself. Yes, she doesn’t always go about it in the right way but she’s human. None of us are perfect, she’s under an (edited) magnifying glass right now with half the country commentating on her every move. I find a lot of the language - not just here, aimed at Laura pretty misogynistic.

If Laura1 was intimidating would Megan have made a play for Wes? Imagine if she had done that to Olivia in season 3!

Probably. Because I don't think Megan is a quiet as she makes out.

I didn't find Olivia remotely intimidating.

I don't know that intimidating is the right world - I see her as prickly and difficult.

Apparently Megan's personality evaporated the minute she shagged Wes.

That's some magic penis. Whooooosh! "EVAPARO!!!"

Olivia from season 3 would have punched Megan if she'd stolen her man!!
