LOVE ISLAND THREAD 5.

[HJWT]

Anyone!?

Maura didn't 'buy that face', you can't buy good looks, only different ones. Anyway she looks exactly the same as her before photo from almost 10 years ago.

Danny is really into Yewande. It's so cute to watch.

I was also cringing at Danny and Yewande. It doesn't seem natural at all and I just don't buy it. And his over the top reaction after kissing her reminded me of Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's sofa 😂

I’m also not buying Danny and Yewande. She seems lovely but is very awkward bless her. He is just weird and his head looks like a Lego man.

Agreed re: Danny. I can’t help but think that since he joined the villa later, he had the opportunity to watch the show from outside and is now playing a game knowing that everyone is rooting for Yewande!

He had options in there but he chose her. He's just as awkward- they fancy each other.

I agree that Danny doesn't really like yewande. And I think she's clever enough to realise but is going along with it. Tommy went up in my estimation as an actual person and not just someone who is very physically attractive when he dodged manky Maura's advances.

I think Maura is great - I do get the feeling she's been told to go in and stir it all up though. She's putting on a great act, I doubt she's like that irl.
MM's sulky face was starting to annoy me but actually I felt quite sorry for her by the end. Although can't help feeling she's being a bit of a hypocrite after Anton and Danny! Tommy is being surprisingly well behaved, he has gone up slightly in my estimation.
Amy needs to wind her neck in now, I feel sorry for Lucie. And if there's a re-coupling soon then Anna is gone! She has no one now.

I also agree that if a bloke behaved like Maura it would be sexual harassment. I honestly think her behaviour is what has put tommy off.

That trying to kiss him was really uncomfortable watching. There is stirring things up and behaving like a sex starved lunatic. I'm all for a woman being the initiator, even if I'd struggle to do it myself, but her behaviour is just ridiculous.

I don't think Elma and anton fancy each other, they are just playing the game, and I don't think Danny fancies Yewande, he's just playing rhe game too. Yewande I think does fancy Danny, so she's going to get hurt at some point,

I think he realised Maura wasn't all that without her make up and decided he thought molly was more attractive 😬 Maura certainly looks her age without it

Just caught up.
Be nice if Maura could go an episode without mentioning her fanny.

I try not to go down the ‘set up, been told to say that, doesn’t really like that person just playing the game’ route - I’m sure those things happen but for me questioning absolutely every interaction and every coupling or attempted coupling or whatever just defeats the point of watching! Having said that - I really can’t see any reason for Maura’s behaviour other than she’s been given a certain brief to act that way - because it’s just so utterly bizarre. She’s a gorgeous girl who I’m sure already gets plenty of male attention and validation - she must realise she doesn’t have to act like a female Benny Hill. Tommy was clearly blown away with her, she could have had him eating out of her hand and all ‘Molly who?’ by now, in fact she pretty much did - a teensy bit of restraint and backing off a smidge so he’d have to follow her would be all it took. Instead she’s just like ‘sex sex sex fanny I’ll touch your cock if you like right here in front of everyone ooooh sex sex fanny’. She seems deranged! I wonder if on unseen bits we’ll find out she’s capable of normal conversations too?

I liked Michael and Amber’s excitement for Danny and Yewande. And I’m prepared to believe that one’s genuine for now. Yeah they were awkward but people are awkward. Danny didn’t go in that late and Yewande was pretty invisible when he went in, so I don’t think he would have picked up on this huge swell of support for Yewande and thought ‘right she’ll make me popular’. Not like the people who went in last year claiming to be all about Dr Alex because they knew he had lots of popular support (to a point anyway). I don’t think Yewande was a guaranteed crowd pleaser at the time he went in.

Amy was a bit of a dick and I wish she’d apologised for keeping the chat going and talking behind Lucie’s back which she blatantly was. I did feel bad for Lucie but at the same time the whole ‘don’t get in with girls, never had a girl friend, girls are so bitchy and full of drama’ is such a tired old trope that needs squashing. Half the population is female - if you can’t get on with half the population the problem is probably you. She’s young though and clearly influenced by the need to be the ‘cool girl’ not like all those other women who are so bitchy and full of drama, hey I’m practically like a guy which is better right?
And in fairness - of course all women and girls aren’t bitchy drama whores, but the current ones Lucie is surrounding with are probably furthering the stereotype somewhat.

Ah but would he like MM without the perma- orange tan? It's all relative.

AliasGrape "the whole ‘don’t get in with girls, never had a girl friend, girls are so bitchy and full of drama’ is such a tired old trope that needs squashing. Half the population is female - if you can’t get on with half the population the problem is probably you"

Agreed.

I'm team MM. Maura has come across quiet slutty whilst MM is classy and Tommy can see this, he can also see that Maura without eyeliner is nothing special. I can't make my mind up about Danny fancying Ywanda maybe because he's young but looks older so his expressions are different iykwim. Yes Anna will be the next to go.

I wish Amy would leave Lucie alone FFS!! The poor girl obviously hates confrontation so why give it to her, she prefers boys company which tbh I don't blame her, the girls are complete drama lamas and create for nothing but I guess that's what's keeping us entertained.

Love Anton he's like a little brother, hope he finds love with Elma.

My fave at the moment is Amber, she's hilarious and really suits Michael.

❤️🌴

Amber and Michael are the most interesting relationship in there. They are Love Island’s answer to Benedick and Beatrice! Not sure if Danny is being honest towards Yewande. I hope so because she is amazing . Maura has blown it with Tommy. He really fancies her but hates her personality. He has been brought up in a traditional, Catholic family and he knows his family would hate watching him have this sort of conversation on TV.

No guy I have spoken to rates Maura looks wise.

View is the same across the board. Too skinny and angular overall. Pointy facial features. Unsexy.

It seems to be mostly women who think Maura is some stunning beauty for some reason.

I also agree with @AliasGrape regarding Lucie. I did feel sorry for her last night as she was upset but to be fair to Amy, Lucie never gets involved with them by what's shown. She also comes off as quite dull and a bit of a wet wipe

Just caught up with the new thread! Enjoyed last nights episode, I was firmly in camp Maura before it started and now not sure! I do like Maura though, I think she’s very entertaining and I like how she stood her ground with Amber and didn’t back down and apologise - I don’t feel like she owed MM an apology. Not sure I would like to be in the villa with Maura 24/7 though if her only default is talking about her “fanny flutters”.
I had also started liking Amber but after last nights episode I’m unsure again, I felt she came across as a shit stirrer and a bit bitchy. Was disappointed Michael apologised too, he was completely right to challenge her behaviour on the balcony and his apology only encourages Amber’s arrogance.
Also thought Lucie’s sobbing was a bit false! I hope she doesn’t feel like she has to hang out with the girls more just because of Amy though - if she’s not a girl’s girl they need to accept it’s not personal and leave her be.

The “fanny flutters” thing is just cringy. Dani used the phrase last year and everyone found it quite funny and almost endearing and I think Maura is trying to jump on that bandwagon. The difference was Dani used it as a compliment for her friend Alexandra and Maura is just coming across as crude.

It is the fact that Maura and Tommy share same agent and so was all arranged beforehand that is really annoying us

They knew each other beforehand and so it is so false and fixed

Just so they would have a LI storyline and therefore earn ££££££££££ for the agency

Is everyone rooting for Yewande? I don’t find her particularly engaging, certainly wouldn’t miss her if she wasn’t there.

I actually get Lucies point.

I had an awful time at school and college with girls.

I am from a very close catholic family. All my cousins are boys. I grew up playing football, rugby, cricket, kick boxing etc. I was constantly told I didnt really like those sports. I was just doing it so boys would see me as 'cool'. Or asked if I really wanted to be a boy or was I a lesibian. All by girls. The boys didnt seem to care at all.

My mum always made me grow my hair, it was lovely but i didnt really like it at the time. I remember being teased one day when I was 15 because I wore it down. First time I had ever worn it down and the popular girls descended on me like a pack of wolves all day. In lessons, walking to lunch. They would ask me who I was trying to impress and did I think it really looked good, because I was wrong. I cut off a few weeks later, because I felt embarrassed and ashamed.

So I grew up thinking I just didnt get on with girls. As I got older. I realised that I was just unfortunate to know a lot of girls who didnt like that I was different and assumed there was a ulterior motive to me doing what I wanted to do. The boys at my school and college just happened to not care.

Now i am older and mixed with lots more women, i realise that some women are drama llamas and bitchy. So are some men. Some men are great, some men think they are superior or threatened by a woman who does what she wants. So are some women. It's about people, not their sex.

Unfortunately, I see my niece who is massively into a Male dominated sport going through a similar thing at her school in year 6. Her friends telling her she shouldnt be doing the sport, that she is only doing it so boys like her etc. But at least the school is actually doing something about it now.

@Sagradafamiliar
Please just look at Maura's before pictures before making nonsense comments

She had a big nose and big chin and no boobs.

She has paid for rhino and a chin reduction and Breast implants and lip and cheek fillers

No one on love island has a big nose, if Maura still had her original nose and no boobs....she would not have got on love island this year

So she has paid for her new face

That's like saying none of them have breast implants when they clearly do

My friend sent me this 😱

I suspect Maura has told her mum she only has lip fillers because her mum will ask where on earth she got the 20k she spent on surgery from!!!

Models and promo girls don't earn that much

Wow looks completely different! Think she's had the works done like Megan
