Love Island Thread 6 - Maura’s nether report, wet with a chance of popsicles

[RagingWhoreBag]

Fill up the other one first!

I'm about half way through season one and I can see why itv took it off streaming services the behaviour of the boys in particular is savage! I don't remember thinking it when I watched first time but it's awful at times!

Just seen on the app first look for tonight. Well done Elma! Can't wait until 9.

Oh gosh, Joe is going to have a hard time.

After the way Adam was called out for his abusive behaviour last year they can't let Joe's behaviour stand can they?

First look is up.

Not sure I like Tom's use of 'I have 2 options'. They arent really options, makes it sound like he thinks he can have anyone he wants.

Maura justification of what she did to molly and why it's not the same as what Elma is doing, has more holes than Anna's trousers

Just seen First Look- Amy looks like she’s desperately trying to hide her excitement when she finds out one person from each couple is going. Clearly she thinks Lucie is going!

After the way Adam was called out for his abusive behaviour last year they can't let Joe's behaviour stand can they?

Adam was gone by the time I started watching last year. What did he do?

Was Adam called out but the show though or everyone else?

I'm not sure amy looks excited more concerned or pensive.

Quite warmed to Elma though. I think I quite like her.

I think Joe is more insidious.

Adam was a player and a gaslighter, but Joe started off as the sweet, cute guy who really liked the girl.

Can someone explain what joe has done wrong? With examples?

Adam arrived late, picked a girl who seemed happy in her couple (much like Tommy with Lucie) then after she 'moved too slow' he dumped her for a Maura-like new arrival.
Then decided new arrival was 'too emotional' and dumped her for yet another new arrival.

Have you watched it?

At the beginning when Joe wanted to get to know her, he started telling her the 'trust was gone'. Even though she hadn't actually done anything at all. Acting like a total dick when they had been coupled up a couple of days because of Tommy's interest.

Punishing her and making her feel shit for doing absolutely nothing.

Now he is telling her who she should be friends with and she shouldnt be friends with, all for her own happiness of course. It's just coincidence that these things are what he wants her to do.

Joe was angry that Tommy picked Lucie (Amber mentioned Lucie might have encouraged Tommy, based on.... nothing). Told her he didn't trust her and made her cry.
Then 2 nights ago he told her he didn't want to change her but it wasn't 'normal' that she didn't get on with the girls, made her cry again then told she was ruining her makeup by crying.

Adam wasn't called out on anything. By the time he left he was in a steady couple with Zarah and a popular housemate.
They mentioned his shitty behaviour in a fun, glossed over way in his exit show and he apologised so all was good.

What was the gas lighting?

Because jumping from one couple to the other, is quite normal and within the game.

Is it one of those that you have to watch it to get it?

These responses are a bit much. And lucie cries about everything. He hasn't punished her and women's aid are right, he is displaying possessive behaviour but these responses aren't ok.

He is clearly insecure and worried about her relarionship with tommy. And yes he shouldn't have said he hoped she'd change and spend more time with the girls and less with tommy, but I think saying he was punishing her etc is too much.

These people have enough to contend with coming out without grossly exaggerating rhe behavuour.

Oh I hope Lucie hasn't walked.

Maura and Emma weren't and aren't friends. Maura seems to think she can just pick a guy and the guy will accept it. Peculiar.

And lucie cries about everything. He hasn't punished her and women's aid are right, he is displaying possessive behaviour but these responses aren't ok.

I disagree. Telling her that he no longer trusted her, was punishing her because he was unhappy about the Tommy situation.

Which wasnt of her own making. Tommy picked her for a date and picked her to couple up with.

She didnt do any of that. The line of 'the trust has gone' was designed to make her feel shit.

The first lots of incidents was about punishing her, in my opinion. The latest ones are out of insecurity. But it's still controlling to tell someone who they should be friends with.

Adam wasn't called out on anything. By the time he left he was in a steady couple with Zarah and a popular housemate.

That was my memory of it all

Adam was called out in the media and there were similar discussions about emotional abuse. Rosie spoke out about it after leaving the house.

Joe is possessive - what sticks out for me is the conversation he had with Lucie about not being friends with guys, he made her cry and then looked around to make sure no one saw. He then framed the conversation totally differently to the guys - I just want her to get on better with the girls, what he actual said was I wouldn't stand for you having boy friends on the outside.

Adam was gone by the time I started watching last year. What did he do?

From recollection, he was coupled up with a girl called Rosie but interested in a new girl called Zara. Rosie was understandably upset about this. When she spoke to him about it, he denied anything was going on (a lie) and implied that it was the fact that she was getting all upset about stuff that was pushing him away.

I may have misremembered the detail but I definitely recollect thinking that rather than acknowledge his own behaviour had caused upset, he implied she was crazy and it was her craziness that was the problem between them, not the fact that he was cracking onto another women behind her back. Classic gaslighting.

In my opinion he was way worse than Joe, but it was all forgotten by the time he left. Although I didn’t realise Joe had told Lucie not to cry so she didn’t spoil her make up

Yes, it's telling that Joe is happy for the girls and some of the boys to criticise Lucie in front of him.
He doesn't have her back at all, he puts on a front to get sympathy from the group at her expense.

Yes Rosie had a go at him and he stood there smirking, not saying a word as she got more agitated, and then told the others he couldn't be with her because she was unstable.
Prior to Rosie he was also really mean to Kendall. He accused her of not being into him because she wasn't snogging him within 2mns of him picking her (when she had been coupled up with a guy she liked).

ooooohbetty What did Elma do?
