Love island 8 the Anton appreciation thread 🏝☀️

[itswinetime]

Here we go!

I might have the order wrong but I thought Yewande and Danny got closer BEFORE Arabella came in and that's where the problem is? Yewande was being really off, Danny complained, Yewande was coached into being more affectionate and they started to hit it off, THEN Arabella came in the next day?

Yewande was a dick and I'm surprised Danny didnt stray sooner but the way he was slagging Yewande off to Arabella was unpleasant when she thought it was all going well.

ignore me if i have my facts wrong

I think Danny and Yewande expresses interest before A came in but it was all D making the effort and he was saying he needs more from her. She was complaining he needs too much reassurance and didn’t seem like she liked him any more. Then A cake in and showed interest to D so Y didn’t like it and the other islanders sort of egged her on to step it up to keep her man so all of a sudden she was kissing him and sitting on him and telling A things are great between them. That’s my perspective anyway.

I'm not buying Arabella feeling bad about upsetting Yewande- how did she think she was going to take it when she was basically gloating about what Danny said??

No. Yewande and Damny coupled up. Then she went stone cold.

After a few days of him trying and her being cold, he backed off her.

The Arabella came in. Took Danny on a date. Then Yewande sought out some advice (Micheal told her that Danny had been trying as she was saying he wasnt trying) and coaching.

Then she gave him the big come (fake) come on. Once he had already become interested in Arabella

It's at that point that he should have made it clear to Yewande how he felt.

The next day he told Arabella they had a connection and that he though Yewande was faking it and only did it because of Arabella.

Again he didnt tell Yewande he wanted to carry on getting to know Arabella.

So now, Yewande is all pissed off. Even though she created the situation and just thought faking some awkward affection was enough.

Still Think Danny should have been more upfront. But the situation, up to that point, was of her own making.

Danny didn't have the balls to do any of that and instead chose to lead Yewande on while laughing at her with Arabella behind her back

The thing is many of us thought Y was behaving in a very strange way over Danny. I don’t recall him laughing at her in a big way with A but it’s not surprising that they might have found her behaviour odd.

Yewande comes across as very rude, in the chat with Arabella she was "let me stop you there" and went to say her but and telling Arabella to let her finish talking...

She seems to be doing similar during her chat with Danny... comes across as her feelings and her words are the only ones that matter.

Yes Danny should've been a bit smarter about what he did and said and to which girl he said what... he's not completely innocent, I think it was flirty on the date with Arabella but then I guess that might subjective...

I don't think he deserves the bashing now though... we all do and say things we don't mean or we do mean but shouldn't say in awkward situations.. maybe he should've been more upfront with Yewande but I can also see why he wasn't because he wanted to see how much of it was real, in that case he shouldn't have told Arabella that he isn't fooled by it, he can tell her he wants to get to know her better there is nothing wrong with that...

Yewande should not have lied about the fact that her friends coached her to be more affectionate, also after 24 hours of making a complete turn around on how she acts with/towards him she can't expect to suddenly be this very strong couple so saying that to Arabella was a bit presumptuous I guess..

I would think that coming on LI you would've watched the show previous years and know what happens, even if it's not to the full extent of how much influence the producers really have... to be fair we do see 45minutes of a 24hour day we don't know what is said and done in the other 23hours and 15 minutes...

Just watched first look. I think that if everyone in the house is telling danny he was wrong, then he is probably wrong. They are all there 24/7 compared to the edited version that we are allowed to see.
Yewande is who she is and that's someone who takes a long time to show her emotions. I totally do not think she faked it when Arabella came in, I think she was threatened and nervous, and not perfect but not sneaky.
All Arabella has done is slag her off to Danny which is shameful. Absolutely no need. Maura didn't bad mouth MM to Tommy she just put herself out there.

Yewande comes across as very rude, in the chat with Arabella she was "let me stop you there" and went to say her but and telling Arabella to let her finish talking...

Yes, I noticed then! I think A was very restrained

I think that if everyone in the house is telling danny he was wrong, then he is probably wrong. They are all there 24/7 compared to the edited version that we are allowed to see.

I think this is a good point but not 100% convinced. Y is an original and I think she has their loyalty to some degree because of that also I think maybe they are slightly protective of her as she comes across as a bit vulnerable.

The thing is many of us thought Y was behaving in a very strange way over Danny. I don’t recall him laughing at her in a big way with A but it’s not surprising that they might have found her behaviour odd.

I found the behaviour odd too and for my own viewing pleasure I hoped Danny would let her know that he wasn't fooled by the sudden change in her behaviour. But he didn't and whichever way you cut it, allowing Yewande to believe that things were rosy while laughing at her expense with Arabella of all people was unpleasant.

Munhu I totally agree.

My bad on timings. Y definitely was coached into veing affectionate and I do think Danny could have been more upfront. I still think A is a cow though and I do think there will have been more chats that havent been aired.

Oooh tonight sounds interesting!

Is there a re-coupling tonight does anyone know?

Just putting it out there for the next thread title:

“Refreshify my memory” bless Tommy, MM was being such a patronising twat last night. I think he’s better off with Lucie who’s also pretending to be a bit dim.

Don’t give two tosses about Yewande and Danny - yawn!

Arabella seems cool. She was obviously stirring a bit in her chat with Y but that’s the name of the game.

Maura can do better than Tom Nice-but-dull.

I feel sorry for Amy, I don’t believe in her and Curtis as a couple but they’re both harmless enough and I think she’s getting a lot of unnecessary stick.

There are other threads discussing the relative merits of L.I. as a show and whether it should be banned etc. This one is a discussion of the goings-on and is meant to be lighthearted, but on every single thread there has been nastiness and negativity, most notably from a couple of specific posters. Can we all just try and ignore the derailments and keep on with the memes etc?!

@RagingWhoreBag start a fresh non argumentative thread for us xx

Second the choice of title

I'm with @RagingWhoreBag

Me too re title

Me too!

Yes can this be a bit more lolz please

I feel like everyone is blanking the ep where Yewande was going on really loudly about how clingy Danny was being and how he wanted too much affection when he kept looking over all sad face... TO QUOTE ANTON YOU’VE MADE YOUR BED... Now Arabella is going to lie in it.

Yes Danny’s behaviour hasn’t been ideal and he could have been more honest but I just don’t feel that soz for her.

Surprised she’s getting so much support on Twitter when eg MM or Joe didn’t and there are definite parallels with jealousy/suddenly showing interest and being possessive/territorial. Though I’m glad she’s not getting a hard time on Twitter also (a la Amy).

ROLL ON 9PM!!!!!

I'm with @RagingWhoreBag too

have we a new thread for tonight?

Done it! Finish this one first

Love the new thread title. Hopefully much more light hearted. Maura can deffo do better than Tom, she’s one of my faves!

I think Amber & Michael have a decent chance outside the villa. They seem very natural together.
