I doubt even the best aftercare in the world could prepare someone for that

Shequakes · 16/06/2019 10:22

I wonder if there are shown what previous participants have recieved, to give them some idea

Even then I cant imagine you completely get it until its aimed at you.

Shequakes · 16/06/2019 10:29

Just read the messages. Amazing how many of them let other people use their phone and that someone else sent the horrible and say that actually love her, when they get the reply saying it's been screen shot for an article going in the papers. Hmm

These people must have shit friends.

I also like he is reporting them to the police.

boooey · 16/06/2019 10:50

Yewande is just too cringe for me. She can’t flirt for the life of her. She just laughs because she’s awkward!
I was hoping she’d be really interesting given her career and education but nada. Not sure if Danny is on her level bit he seems pretty boring too so maybe they’ll stick it out.

I actually like Lucie now. She’s the prettiest for sure, and actually seems quite mature too given her age. Joe is ‘meh’ though. Still can’t warm to him.

I want Curtis to stay just for the cringey advice. I’d like to see Tommy leave and probably Amber.

Michael needs more air time , Anton I’m
Not sure about, he loves himself too much to be this ‘gentleman’ people are harping on about imo.
Anna has a lovely figure but again we don’t see/hear much of her.

ClubSandwich · 16/06/2019 10:55

@Shequakes agree, I had a little chuckle when they quickly retracted their comment and said it was a friend on their phone or some other crappy excuse. Complete keyboard warriors!

Shequakes · 16/06/2019 10:59

ClubSandwich it's just ridiculous. I dint get why anyone do that in the first place.

But then to be even more if a coward that you cant even own up to the comment, it just makes me despair.

I have never spoken like that to anyone, ever. But if I felt I needed to say something negative to someone, I would at least stand by what I said. Like if someone is being a dick at work, I dont mind telling them.

I regularly tell my best friend to get her head out of her arse. I love her, but she can take offence at stuff and take it too far. I tell her and then stand by it.

Chipstick10 · 16/06/2019 10:59

Anna is dull and so is Yewande . Boring.
Does anyone else think Curtis sounds like Gary Barlow? Same tone in his voice , I realise it’s a different accent. And also same dad cringiness

Ilikeyourbeard · 16/06/2019 11:19

I worked with loads of people in the same profession as Yewande for a while. They seemed to have their own unique sense of humour that I, not having a scientific bone in my body, just could not understand. She’s probably dying to have someone to joke with about assays and stuff. She’s too intelligent for the rest of them I think. Seems to get along well with Michael, who is also quite scientific.

MoominMantra · 16/06/2019 11:33

Yeah, I think Curtis sounds a lot like Gary Barlow.

Birdrib · 16/06/2019 11:36

Thank you Sue, didn’t realise there were unseen bits and aftersun too. That’s my Sunday sorted Grin

AliasGrape · 16/06/2019 11:59

Yeah, I think Curtis sounds a lot like Gary Barlow.

Me too. He seems equally pleased with himself as well.

SlipperOrchid · 16/06/2019 12:09

Spot on GrinGrinGrin

Ohnotanothernamechange · 16/06/2019 12:14

Michael has been called a 'mudering cunt' on his Instagram for being a Liverpool FC fan. I know football fans can be a but be tribal about it all (I know many in real life), but really? It gives you a bit of insight into what the Islanders are subjected to. After what happened to Sophie and Mike you'd think these pathetic keyboard warriors would be a bit kinder.

ffaith · 16/06/2019 12:42

Does Lucie give Amy flashbacks to her schooldays when the prettier girls got all the attention?

Has there ever been a more smug islander than Curtis? I hope someone or something happens to get him out of his comfort zone. Let's see the real Curtis?

I thought Tommy would be a callous, soulless piece of work like Adam from last year but he seems quite decent. Of course as someone said earlier it could be a set up

Wow Anna with the twerking you work it
girl.
I hope Maura has a plan b. She's put all her eggs in 1 basket. If Tommy choses MM what then?

AliceRR · 16/06/2019 12:49

I have also moved to team MM after seeing the desperation of Maura. I agree with PPs who suggested she is insecure as she seems to fish for compliments or reassurance that Tommy found her attractive and then she almost forced him to kiss her. Wouldn’t be ok if a man did it and shouldn’t be ok for her to do it. It made me really uncomfortable and made her look like a dick. I think Tommy is probably a bit turned on by Maura but likes Molly Mae as he invited her to stay with him on the sofa (told Maura she’d be more comfortable in bed) and then got into bed with MM.

Also don’t think Maura is as attractive as MM without make up.

Yewande is a bit too awkward and I don’t know if Danny does really like her. I think he does but it seems odd.

I like Elma and Anton.

Back and forth about Amber. Sometimes she’s a bit too much but she is young and will probably be become a bit more controlled (?)(sorry can’t think of the right word) as she gets older

Zampa · 16/06/2019 13:09

I've missed a few days of viewing as I've been away but having caught up on the thread, I feel like I've watched it all! Cheers Team LI!

I'm surprised at everyone's switch back to MM from Maura but can understand from the comments.

I'd be delighted if Curtis split from Amy. The ensuing drama would be TV gold. I'm really uncomfortable writing that, as this is someone's actual life ... But, they knew what they were getting into, right?

nickymanchester · 16/06/2019 13:21

@Zampa If you're in the UK then you can watch all the earlier episodes you might have missed online here:-

bringbacksideburns · 16/06/2019 13:24

I was trying to think of who Maura reminded me of and it's Barbara Bach, Ringo's wife.

I think they need to cast their net a bit wider looking for contestants instead of just looking at previous islander' s friends on Insta or exes like Lucie and MM. It's already contrived and that makes it even more orchestrated.

Zampa · 16/06/2019 13:26

Thank you @nickymanchester. I'm just not sure I'll have the time to watch them before the episode tonight.

I've always found it a bit weird going back in time to older episodes once you've watched the contestants' "future" selves.

itswinetime · 16/06/2019 13:49

These made me chuckle looking forward to tonight I'm hoping we might get a new guy

Won't it be recoupling tonight?

itswinetime · 16/06/2019 14:02

It could be a recoupling tonight But I think they are waiting till the people they want to keep are safe at the moment it would be Anna and Molly-Mae or Maura going/at risk I don't think they want either of them going so I guess I think they will put someone else in first just a guess though.

HollySniffs · 16/06/2019 14:18

Those are brilliant itswinetime. The first actually gave me the chills Grin.

Walkerbean16 · 16/06/2019 14:19

First look shows there will be a recoupling, not sure it that means tonight though? It's the first series I have watched.

RainbowPanda · 16/06/2019 14:28

Yeah looks like a boys pick recoupling but no mention of an eviction. So maybe no one is going home yet as they probably want to have an aftermath for Tommy's decision. Which wouldn't happen if someone went home straight away.

And the Joe and Lucie stuff looks interesting!!
