Love island 8 the Anton appreciation thread 🏝☀️

[itswinetime]

Here we go!

Danny fostered an 'us and them' attitude with Arabella, 'them' being Yewande. When you slag someone off in order to bond with someone else and that someone is the woman you are acting like you're head over heels with, then it won't end well. Arabella felt confident enough to talk down to Yewande armed with the things Danny had told her- but she didn't know just how happy Danny was claiming to be with Yewande.

I like Yewande and do feel like Danny could have been more straight with her. I think Amy is a PITA but the level of hate she's getting online is ridiculous. Also wrt her walking up the stairs - I probably walk like that when my hip's playing up. 2 steps with my 'good side' and one with the dodgy one. It's just good sense

He wasn't negative about Arabella? He just said there wasn't any flirting. Which is always subjective anyway.

The Yewande situation is one everyone including Arabella will have been aware of. Yewande hasn't said or done one thing that would suggest she even likes Danny. It's ridiculous.

I would bet Arabella was told to say those things by the producers tbh.

Yewande told her that Danny and her are a really strong couple which was obviously a lie. Danny has never said that to Yewande - he had been trying to build a relationship with her and she just turned her back on him (literally!) a relationship is a two way thing.

I've just seen first look and I'm a bit . So they think Danny's he's lied to both girls ? I don't remember Danny flirting it was being friendly , that's what the show is about anyway . I don't think it's as good as previous years I'm getting bored now .

Yewande can't pick and choose when she likes Danny she has always been so hot and cold with him. I feel sorry for Danny tbh he looks so isolated in first look. And we are meant to be entertained by this.

Well I definitely don't think Danny deserves to be made the villain in this situation at all, not for the very human crime of not being brave enough to be upfront straight away in a bloody awkward situation. This happens all the time on this show it's the format fgs.

@Sagradafamiliar you're claiming people watching shouldn't criticise the contestants but you're happy to support Danny being turned on..? Jail time for trolling, just no.

I wonder if Amy does have a disability re her posture etc and the way she climbed the stairs etc? If this is the case this should be made clear early on somehow. Doubt people would be taking the piss if they knew she had a disability.

For me it's not even about Danny preferring Arabella. When she came in I actually hoped he'd go for her and if he did Yewande would have no one to blame but himself.

But he hasn't done that, he's made it seem to her that things are fine, they reached a new stage in their relationship with the cuddling and kissing in bed and it seems like Danny has also told the other guys that he's happy with Yewande. All while slagging her off a bit to Arabella. If he'd been upfront with them both no one would be annoyed at him. I think he went in there with the intention of playing the game but just isn't bright enough to pull it off in the way that Curtis is.

Another manufactured way for the producers to get Danny kicked off no doubt. They don't want Yewande walking as they will look like they haven't provided duty of care. Utter bollocks.

Gummy maybe you should re-read where I said I'm all about criticising behaviour but not people :)
Danny is hardly a sociopathic mastermind and no one would suggest he is, but of course he will be perceived to be at fault for his actions, for about 5 minutes until it then blows over. Such is the nature of the show.

Oh come on, they didn't 'reach a new stage' organically. It was all completely forced by Yewande, only because a new girl came in.

That was to @Munhu

Jail time for trolling, death threats, destroying wellbeing and encouraging suicide, yes.
Announcing disabilities, just no.

Oh gosh, I haven’t seen first look yet but wow!
I feel for Danny on the back of what you’ve said all, where on earth has this come from???
Yewande, I knew would play the victim. I believe this is what she’s done. I think she’s using the “he said his head wouldn’t be turned” out of context slightly as she showed zero interest and didn’t she roll her eyes at him when he said it? He said it as an answer to a direct question by her.

Off to watch first look now but not excited by what I’m about to see 😒

The whole first look was about Yewande and Danny.... dunno if I can be arsed to watch tonight if that's the whole episode. Usually they show other bits to look forward too.

@Sagradafamiliar I don't see how criticising a contestants behaviour differs much from criticising THEM?
I'm surprised you watch this show because you seem to have quite extreme views on what is and what isn't allowed to be said by the public when the whole format of the show thrives from it.
People joining in on contestant bashing on twitter should definitely NOT be a jailable offence ffs!! The first step would surely be to take programmes like this off the air - their popularity is based on people enjoying loving some contestants and hating others. It's real life pantomime, but let's lock any of the audience up that boos at someone too loudly?!

Yes she's so calculated and devious isn't she 🙄 she asked him those questions and stayed guarded exactly because of this. Self preservation. What she feared came true. Of course, what she should've done is jumped in head first and ended up even more hurt.

And this is the issue.

Both Yewande and Danny both played part in this.

Her odd behaviour and only showing him any sign she was interested, when someone else showed him attention. It's obviously fake and it was too little too late.

All Danny has done has not bee honest with Yewande, after she opened up. It's not great. But I dont think he is completely to blame and it's a bit off to gang up on him. I also dont think he manufactured this in anyway.

But the episode could show more and it's not ganging up. Just giving him a straight talking to.

Yewande isnt reall the victim though. And I am wondering where Tom got 'he said there was no flirting on the date' from. Because everything I have seen, he has said it was great and they connected.

Then I can't help you gummy if you don't see the difference between saying you don't agree with someone's behaviour and outright demonising them as people. I really can't.
I love the show :)
Trolls need to know that they are committing criminal offences. Prison time would be ideal (but never will happen) because trolling should be seen as deviant and cross over into illegal, until finally it becomes morally unacceptable by the greater majority. If you don't believe that death threats are a big deal, that is disgusting and not something I would be defending online personally.

Forgot to say, I have said it before. Yewande is the poster girl for self filling prophecy.

It could have been different. Maybe it wouldnt have been. But I think it would have been different if she had have been so guarded.

I agree @GeriTe**

And no, taking shows off air is not a deterrent because the venom in these people would still be there, there would just be a narrower set of people to gun for.
The answer is taking personal responsibility and having a social conscience, not banning things as people can't be trusted not to be vile.

Oh come on, they didn't 'reach a new stage' organically. It was all completely forced by Yewande, only because a new girl came in.

Either way, she was completely in the dark about his conversations with Arabella and putting herself out there in a way she hasn't before. I would not have blamed him at all for choosing Arabella but the way he's gone about it is awful. Do you honestly think he's done nothing wrong in snogging and cuddling up to her all night and then bitching and laughing about her to her 'rival' the next day? I can get why some people don't like her and I felt very sorry for Danny before Arabella came in but the way he behaved in the last episode was unpleasant to watch. I don't think he deserves to be villanised and ostracised from the group (which I doubt he is -he probably only slept outside because it'd be a bit awkward to share a bed with Yewande after all of that) but I'm glad Yewande has support in there. And I hope that she does chose to leave because this clearly isn't the show for her.

This Danny thing is such nonsense.

It was very obvious Ara’s conversation with Yewande was directed by producers.

His mistake was to ever give Yewande another chance. He should have just called out her manipulation, the fact she wasn’t that into him and binned her.

This false, engineered conflict is one of the things I really dislike about the show, and maybe it’s time to stop watching it.

I think putting yourself a available to the general public, you have to expect people judging you based on your behaviour.

You go on a show like love Island and people are also going to judge your looks.

They know that you will win if enough people judge your personality and looks in a positive light. They put themselves up to be judged. It's a gamble they are making.

But no one should have to have the vile things, that have been on social media, said about them. Or death threats etc.

It's awful. You can have an opinion without being vile and abusive.
