Bluntness go easy. No need to come after people like that. It's just a reality show.

If he was surely he would have pretended to like Alex for the remaining 4 days. How hard could that be

That's how it would have panned out, but she massively scared him on the date when she talked of meeting his family and him meeting hers. I think all the commitment talk forced him into dumping her sooner rather than later.
Alexandra was definitely Played.

Does anyone else feel physically sick watching love island now?

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 19:44

I am on my time of the month tho Sad

MrsFassy · 29/07/2018 19:44

No can't say I do. Is there anything in particular that's making you feel sick? That seems quite an extreme reaction to a reality tv show.

Rachie1986 · 29/07/2018 19:44

I'm sorry if this was answered in threads 1-16..

How far ahead are they filming? Because obviously it frequently shows teasers of the next night so they have filmed the next day, but then when viewers vote that impacts the next day too. I feel very confused!

mrnohips · 29/07/2018 19:45

I find it odd that Alex has no qualms about pdas with the men, he kisses, cuddles, gets into bed with them, but struggles to do the same with a female. So it's notas if he doesn't like pdas it's he doesn't like them with women.

It's glaringly obvious!
to everyone, except Alex.
Poor sod. He really isn't very self-aware.

...such a prolific lothario...

😂

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 19:45

Reading about Alex's bits makes me feel queasy..

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 19:47

"Exactly. The hypocrisy was breathtaking."

I'm guessing you were posting about how awful Ellie was and her treatment of Alex then?

Best trot off to check, no?
🙄

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 19:49

Please unique, don’t refer to them again...🤢

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 19:49

Yes he's like a different person in bed with the boys.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 19:50

Oh come on now, guys, Alex is a boys’ boy just as many have observed Dani is a girls’
girl.

😜

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 19:57

Are you talking about me? Oh hell.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:01

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon

I concur. That is an excellent post.

mrnohips · 29/07/2018 20:02

It's obvious that Alex is just not used to or knows how to interact with the type of girls who go on LI like many people.

And maybe a clue to his behaviour lies with how his ex has stayed silent and doesn't want her private life all over the media ( which doesn't seem to cross people's minds). Can you imagine that happening with any off the other contestants? Some people like Alex's ex probably care more about their long term career and privacy than being in the daily star. That's the type of people Alex is used to dealing with.

You've made some good points.
I think we have to take into account some of the heavy editing as well.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:03

It's rare for a hetero male to want to want to take things slow and go at my own pace

I cannot imagine a normal guy saying that. In such a situation they would think all their Christmases has come at once.🤣

DuggeeHugg · 29/07/2018 20:03

Wow. Some people are weirdly overinvested 😕

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 20:05

Alex could be a Eunuch.Shock

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:06

Actually Hayley was not “THE WORST”.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:06

A eunach! Now why dudn’t I think of that?

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:07

...didn’t...

unique1986 · 29/07/2018 20:07

I wish love island had real relationships.
I've lost all faith in human interactions.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/07/2018 20:09

He's behaved just the same as the rest of them but he's always acted like he's better than them.

Yep.

mrnohips · 29/07/2018 20:11

Never even mind people who did the same thing as alex. The worst behaviour in there was by Adam but I cannot recall any of the vitriol thst is being levelled at Alex here.
And it is pertinent to note that when there is a different reaction to the same crime you should ask why so. Why is Alex being picked out as some gay/autistic/weird/vile human being when the rest of them were not ?

Vienna, are you his mum, or related in some way?
You are very protective of him and your wording is very Alex y in it's style.
If you are, I don't blame you for trying to defend him.
