Love Island 17

[AngeloMysterioso]

Let's go!

I think parents are advised to say they are proud of their children. Any parent who is interviewed about offspring in any reality show says the same thing. Even about the ones who have behaved really badly e.g Geordie Shore.

I'm still not buying the Meghan's shy stuff. Being a stripper and her insta account shows someone who's not shy, you couldn't take all your clothes off in front of an audience if you were.

That's a rather simplistic grasp of human nature. No-one is only one thing. Many performers are fine on stage and shy in real life.

She's not shy about her body or taking her clothes off. She seems quite shy when it comes to social interaction. She's quite quiet - not a big personality.

I don't buy that she is shy and awkward like she says.

But that's because I feel she isn't pulling it off well and it doesn't seem genuine.

Her previous jobs have nothing to do with that. Loads of people can perform but be shy.

I feel like I perform at work everyday. I am very strong and out going at work. At home I am much more quite and reserved. But me in a reality tv show and I would be able to keep up my work self for 8 weeks solid. People who work with me would probably wonder what was going on with me.

Yes wilbur Caroline Flack seems utterly sexless so it is very weird the way she tries to be sexy when she sashays in.

And then her contrived voice.... argh how on earth did she get to where she is?

She isn't awful but she's totally unlikeable. You just don't warm to her. OR want to look like her.

I find her odd, I really do.

Yes I’m not a fan of the flack. I remember the early days when she started out on kids tv. She was nice

I agree CF has no personality whatsoever, I’d love Emma Willis to be the presenter

I think Caroline desperately needs to sack tge stylist or hire one. Her outfits have mostly been unflattering and wrong looking. Remember the year she presented xfactor? Everything she wore was terrible.

I feel a bit sorry for her, preventing this show when she's terminally unlucky in love. I think her main issue is she has the WORST taste in men.

I don't buy that she is shy and awkward like she says.

I've seen her be shy and awkward on a daily basis. She's not gregarious socially at all, I find her quite dull tbh. Her calling card is her appearance rather than her personality or social skills.

I think Meg has different faces. Her ‘work’ and the desire to please men through the way she’s looks, suggests self esteem issues. We only see a minute part of her real personality. Whenever she is shown, it’s the same droning voice, no enthusiasm, and that bloody irritating thing she does with her hairI can’t remember hearing her converse about anything with ‘gusto’ unlike Laura1, who I’d love to have a glass of wine with (even though she also messes about with her hair)

It's not that I actually dislike CF, it's just that I feel the image she's trying to portray of herself on LI is fake. I'm sure she's a nice woman and when I've seen her on other things have thought she's very friendly and pleasant. It's just that on LI it's all so stilted etc. It's like there's someone behind her shouting 'Go on Caroline, work it baby!' and it makes me cringe.

I'd agree with that Namechanger

Yes for me Megan is just very nothing if that makes sense. There’s little enthusiasm & excitement, if I was asked to describe her personality I would not know what to say. If you think of how much we’ve seen of Laura, Dani & Alexandra’s personalities it’s odd.

For me the Flack issue is that she’s presented (in the show) as this love guru/sex kitten type which doesn’t really fit.

Yeah even when Megan was telling Wes that she 'really faaaaaaaancied' him, there was no enthusiasm. She is very 'dulled down' almost like something is surpressing her personality.

I don't know, something really isn't right with her. She is so down on herself and has had so much surgery at such a young age. And the way her brother said 'you have finally made friends with some girls', like they obviously know she has social issues in that way. If I were her parents I would be devastated if my daughter had wanted that much surgery in her early twenties.

I don't think her and Wes will last. I don't think he will treat her badly or anything, but he is young and fun loving and seems to have lots of mates, and Im just not sure she will fit in with all that. And I bet she has been treated horrifically by blokes in the past, the way the new guys all saw her as the trophy to be won was a bit fucked up to be honest.

I really hope I'm wrong because I want her to be ok on the outside.

God that was a bit serious about Megan!

Well yes, Flack is hardly a love guru!

I remember on Radio 1 she pranked Nick Grimshaw once. She rang him and told him that a story was about the break in the tabloids that he had been overheard on a night out slagging her off, saying that she was a total slapper who has slept with everyone etc etc. She was so poker voiced about it and sounded genuinely upset, it was so funny! Partly because you could imagine him doing that!

I can't stand either of them and hated Nick G on the breakfast show, but that was quite a good one

I doubt there was a fee issue with Danny dyer, he still appeared on the show. Format isn't relevant. He was still on the show.

I also think megan lacks confidence, has low trust, and low self esteem. I'm not sure she's shy as such. From what I can understand she was bullied badly at school due to her looks, which has clearly led to surgery and impacted her feelings of self worth,as well as her ability to trust and form relationships with other females.

I don’t think Meg n Wes will last on the outside, she is far too insecure to cope with his big personality, it won’t take long for cracks to appear, nor for her to start flirting again

I would so love to go out drinking with Laura, Dani and Alexandra-think they would be so much fun in RL and would make sure everyone got home safe!😂

I absolutely loved Alexandra's mum! The right couple left the show and it would have been ridiculous for them to be in the final but I do feel annoyed for Alexandra. Whatever people might say to defend Alex, surely it's clear that he did essentially rob Alexandra of the full experience of doing the show. I think that whoever said people are more annoyed about him than the others because he's consistently acted as though he's better than the others had it spot on! So many people have lost their place for him to continue and he seems to have had a hugely disproportionate amount of screentime. Annoying that we'll only have one Alex-free episode but just glad he's out!

Also MsJolly could not agree more! Would LOVE to go for drinks with those three! My favourite islanders

Oh come on. They were blatantly told to build suspense when asked if they like Megan.

Oh riiiight

Sorry have not read through last few pages. I can’t be bothered to watch the last couple of days of LI. It gets all schmalzty with little to analyse and observe. I am fairly certain Jani will win too.

I watched Love Island for the first time last year and it became a guilty pleasure. I haven’t not enjoyed this year’s show but I didn’t like it as much as last year. Also I think once the novelty of the format wears off, I lose interest, so I don’t know whether I will bother watching next year.
