LOVE ISLAND THREAD 5.

[HJWT]

Anyone!?

It is an Irish thing.

But I think she is also after his name. Of course she knows who he is.

I am not into boxing at all and I know who his brother is and guessed they were related as soon as I saw his name.

If she is a ring girl she definitely knows of him, at the very least.

Is it me, or does Maura look a bit like Carol Vorderman at times?

I kind of feel sorry for Sherif but then again ITV have to be so so careful this year

Although, if you look at her Instagram. Its seems 'ring girl's isnt something she does often.

I only had a quick scan, but it the last year it looks like she has done 1 MMA event.

Maybe she is exaggerating how much ring girl work she has done, so they appear to have something in common.

Most of her work is as a Monster Girl.

This made me laugh. Not sure if any has posted it but the similarities are uncanny

I’m getting so bored with Amber. The whole guard up thing is extremely wearing and let’s face it childish. Also it’s nice to tell it like it is there is also being quite brutal.
Don’t care about cosmetic surgery but think it’s poitnless .
Loved seeing the fun side of Lucie and Joe. The fact that Michael grabbed her to sit on his lap tells me it’s because he feel comfortable and knows joe is fine with it. For the record Lucie and Joe are my favourite couple . Michael needs a grown up not a silly child playing games.
I think Curtis is regretting coupling with Amy. I think it would be great if he recounted but he won’t now he will go to the bitter end but by that time they will no longer be in the running .
I think Tommy is a bit old fashioned and feels a bit scared of Maura with her raw sexual talking. For the record I think it’s tedious and wouldn’t be acceptable if a guy was doing it. I quite like MM with Tommy

@FrustratedTeddyLamp - when I talk about power imbalance I mean socially not physically 🙄

Women are still massively disadvantaged in society with regards to pay, misogyny and are held to different standards than men.

I'd like to see tommy and MM sent on a romantic date about now...shake things up a bit. (I don't like maura's sexually aggressive approach and hope she doesn't win him) he is no prize however!

I don't like Tommy's attitude towards woman, I don't think he'll find a woman on love island who'll put up with being treated like a possession (also expected to cook for him and take care if all his personal grooming etc.) if he left in a couple the minute his partner receives some attention or success of her own on the outside, he'll kick off. Only sees woman as a support act to him.

Poor Curtis. He’s so mortified by Amy. Bless him.

Amy was bitching again on unseen bits about the exclusive thing and Lucie and Joe. Telling Elma the night she came in, then we saw on the episode Friday that she was telling Elma AGAIN by the pool. I was trying to think that maybe she wasn't that bad but it seems like she’s actually made a bigger deal of it than we even saw. And then had the cheek to say to Lucie ‘I just want to draw a line under all this now’. Curtis really did look sick of hearing about it too. It’s Love Island - the point is to couple up and —at least pretend to— get ‘serious’ about each other. Did she think her and Curtis were going to be the only couple in there?

I also agree the unseen bits showed a much better side to Joe.

I like Anna and Anton together, I know that ship has probably sailed but I’d actually rather see him with her than Elma I think.

I wish we had more glimpses into the day to day there...Saturday's show reveals so much more about their personalities etc. I like a bit of drama but it'd be nice if we could see the day-to-day each night too...

I wonder what Maura's reaction would've been if he'd asked her to clip his toenails 😷 I'd like to think she'd tell him to stick it and her nether report would've had much drier conditions! There's nothing more offputting than the man you'd like to sleep with expects you to take on a parenting role as if they are a child.

I really don't like Amy's two faced ness.

She was saying to lucie oh it's just because we used to be so close, then you dumped me, and I just want you to feel welcome in the group. Yeah like it's her call and they'd known each other for ever.

We saw her though sitting bitching to the girls "oh what does she do, put her gym gear on,,". No "oh I'd love lucie to feel welcome, I hope she doesn't feel isolated". She pure bitched about her, then turned round and bullshitted lucie it was all about wanting her to feel welcome.

Really unpleasant behaviour.

Telling Elma the night she came in
Yes. If when I meet someone for the first time they immediately slag someone off or talk badly of someone else in the group I'm instantly wary of them. It tells you a lot about them.

Amy is awful, so insecure and immature and just plain nasty.

Didn't watch last night but sounds like it was worth watching. The usual evening shows aren't actually fun would love to see some more challenges and couples getting to know each other not what PP said all the connection chat 😴😴

Finally caught up with Fridays show..I know I'm way too behind for this thread, but have to say it!

What the Pete is Maura about?!

I was initially rooting for her to shake things up, but with that performance she is just going to get booted off. Way too intense to say the least!!

Bluntness yeah exactly, “oh I didn’t want you to feel isolated so I made sure to slag you off to the new girls the second they walked in, and then again the next day just to be sure”.

HollySniffs exactly. Makes her look terrible.

Elma asked Curtis what he thought and his answer was like ‘I really don’t care’. But Amy still couldn’t let it drop.

I find Curtis kind of patronising and annoying too, I’d not be sad to see the two of them go to be honest, but right from the start Curtis has been positioned as somehow integral to the show, and I can’t see him ditching Amy because it would look bad, so I guess we’re stuck with them.

Tyson Fury had a brilliant fight last night... makes me wonder if Maura is after the life style that Paris Fury has tbh if Tommy because a world champion!! I bet shes tried it on with every boxer shes been 'ring girl' around 🤔🥊

I think its unlikely that Tommy will ever be a world champion.

That's why he is in there. His brother is a famous boxer. If he was brilliant, hevwould have all the help he needed in making it.

He is in LI to raise his profile. He shouldnt need that. As a talented boxer and a family member already in the inside, he should already be on the road to glory, if he has what it takes.

Why don't they incorporate any of the funny bits from 'unseen' into the show? It's much more entertaining!

I think it's going the way Big Brother did. Engaging and addictive to start with but then more boring until finally no one gives a shit, as you start to realise no one's really genuine and just there for fame.

I'm a bit worried about Lucie' s sobbing reaction to Amy( is it? ) over the light bitching. It doesn't matter how much 'counselling '
and after care they get, you just don't know how people are going to react once they are in the show. Apparently the level of trolling and unpleasantness directed at them can upset even the strongest personality so I hope she'll be ok.

I really believe the only genuine couple in there are Joe and Lucie. And they won't last five minutes on the outside due to his posessiveness.

Maybe the older people commenting just don't understand about plastic surgery nah, cheers for the patronising comment though. Maybe we just remember a time when the vast majority of young people in their twenties didn't feel the pressure to have surgery or inject whatever into their faces because they didn't have to look perfect on social media to flog a healthshake or lipstick.

@Shequakes He only became a professional boxer last year and has won his first 2 fights, he has a long way to go but with his brother he has a long way to follow xx

Yeah, I know he only becamebone last year. Still dont think it will happen.

I think he knows it wont happen either. Taking a break for this long (including all the stuff after) only a year in, to me, tells me he knows he will never be as famous as his brother or as good. The is clearly is focus. Not the boxing.

He will probably be a decent boxer. Just not that good, imo.

Did anyone see the post on fb shared by the guy managing Amber’s Facebook profile while she’s in the villa? He shared screenshots of some of the messages Amber has had since going in - they were vile. I can’t even imagine what would possess someone to send such a message. I guess it gives some insight to what the contestants have to deal with once leaving the villa. I doubt even the best aftercare in the world couldn’t prepare someone for that.
