I don't think that this was about A & A thinking that D should have picked Y over Arabella (although they did think that). IMO, it was more about his behaviour leading up to making his "difficult" decision and him then kissing Arabella within a few minutes of Y leaving. Hence Amber's comments about him not being trustworthy, with which I completely agree.

IMO Danny was in no way undecided. He knew a long time ago he was picking Arabella but chose to string Y along in case he needed options. He was very dishonest. No issues with him choosing A - it was the right choice for him but he should have left the kissing to the balcony or after bedtime.

Virtually all the housemates agreed the timing of Danny's kiss with Arabella was inappropriate. Amber was just more willing to call out his behaviour and did it in a forthright way whereas the others pussyfooted around as didn't want to exacerbate the upset.

As a PP said, the ill feelings did blow over the following day. If A&A continue to ostracise D&A then I'll certainly revise my opinion.

'Plus, the girls were over it within 24 hours. They were just upset, not bullying. It's really belittling of the impact of bullying to claim bullying everytime someone is rude/name calls'

Of course it was bullying. Stop trying to excuse such behaviour. No wonder children still get bullied at school when there are still people like you trying to minimalise it. And from someone pushing 30 years old? Give me a break....

In the past, on other series of Love Island, when people were upset about their friends leaving LI they vented in the diary room, they maybe were a bit quiet. But they didn't start bitching and heckling in a pack the way this year's contestants have done.

Just imagine your dd was on the receiving end of this?

I agree about the timing but it was the way Amber went about it and. I wouldn't call it forthright. She had a nasty tone to her voice and look to her face. I would be happy to see her and Anna go, went right off them after the balcony cat calling.

Whisky2014 · 26/06/2019 07:06

Whatever you think Danny did or didn't do, the girls actions that we saw last night were far worse. No excuse, it was downright bullying.

Proteinshakesandtears · 26/06/2019 07:07

Amber's main issue was that he told Yewande his head would be turned.

That's the only time he gave Yewande is word. But what Amber and others are forgetting is that between him saying that and Arabella coming in, Yewande pied him off.

The night she was talking, loudly, round the fire pit about how she doesnt talk about her feelings and found him needy (while he was sat about 10ft away and could see and hear her), he decided to just give her space and not bother. He felt he had done enough.

24hours later she was all over him. The only thing that changed was that Arabella came in and took an interest in Danny.

Yes, I think Danny should have told Yewande he was keeping his options open. However I think amber and Anna would have reacted the same then as well.

I said it before, but imagine Yewande came over surprised him by opening up and he had said 'that's great, thanks for that. But as you made it clear you werent interested I distanced myself and now I am genuinely into Arabella. So I am keeping my options open. You good with that?'

Everyone would have been annoyed at him then.

Yewande wasnt interested. He read the signs and looked elsewhere. Then she wanted him. But he had already distanced himself. When she then back tracked and tried to reel him back in, I think he got put in a position where, it was either pick Yewande or face a lot of shit from her and the others.

If he had told Yewande at any point, he was picking Arabella, this would have happened.

Yewande clearly faked, either, the ice queen act or the affection. To stay in. But no one is questioning how trust worthy she is?

Atalune · 26/06/2019 07:09

Amber was spiking for a fight and behaving like a little kid! Cringe!

Blankscreen · 26/06/2019 07:12

I don't get why it was too soon for Danny to kids Arrabella. It wasn't in front of Yewande she had left.
Why would Amber get upset seeing them kiss unless it was on behalf of Yewande with is pathetic. It was just an excuse for Amber to have a bitch about something tangible because she basically hates the game, which is at the end of the day what this is.

as the old aying goes 'dont hate the player hate the game'

RonnieScotts · 26/06/2019 07:18

A&A were furious with D before the kiss. They were angry he didn't pick Y, the kids just gave them the ammunition they needed.

Y's behaviour on leaving was disgusting she clearly had no feelings for D whatsoever (she believed she should've been picked purely because he knew her longer and she had friends in the villa, even though she treated him terribly)

I think the kiss was their way of showing the villa the connection they had and D proving why he made his choice.

Pity their are such nasty girls in the villa this year (getting ALOT of airtime too!) amber, Anna and Yewande are bitches, I'm
So glad Y is gone. Amy has backed down a bit (but I believe if Lucie starts finding happiness again, Amy's venous side will show again, she really doesn't like seeing Lucie happy)

He totally should have done that and yes, there would have been some fall out but I don't think that it would have been this bad as it would have been much harder for anyone to criticise Danny's behaviour.

Bullying is behaviour towards a vulnerable person which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically,. Amber didn't assault Danny or tease him or make threats. She called him out on his behaviour and Danny stood his ground. Bullying is not a mutual disagreement between two equals.

Calling this type of behaviour bullying is what minimises it, as when someone with a legitimate claim comes forward, it's more easily dismissed as a spat.

MoominMantra · 26/06/2019 07:37

No @Zampa that's rubbish. A group of people picking on one person is bullying whether you choose to accept that or not. It's also bullying to try to draw someone into an argument by baiting them and following them around. It's happened not just with Danny but also with Lucie.

BiscuitDrama · 26/06/2019 07:39

I agree with Blankscreen
“I don't get why it was too soon for Danny to kids Arrabella. It wasn't in front of Yewande she had left.”

AlpenCrazy · 26/06/2019 07:43

Yh its def looking like bullying the Anna/Amber/Amy ganging up thing

Good on Jordon for calling it out

My fave couple are Tommy and Curtis

SlipperOrchid · 26/06/2019 07:44

^Ronnie* Spot on!

Dickybow321 · 26/06/2019 07:47

But it was over quite quickly. If it carries on, then I would say it is bullying.

A) that's bollocks
B) I wouldn't be surprised if the producers had a word

Hebdenbridge · 26/06/2019 07:49

It WASN'T a 'group of people picking on one person' though moomin was it?

It was 2 people (A and A) in an isolated incident being cross with 2 other people.(D and A) And most of the rest of the group supported D and A, INCLUDING Anna's boyfriend

Hebdenbridge · 26/06/2019 07:51

Bullying is not a mutual disagreement between two equals

Calling this type of behaviour bullying is what minimises it

Exactly Zampa

I disagree. He would have had them saying 'you wanted to her to topen up and then when she did, you pied her'

I also think there woild have been more of a effort to make sure he knew what would happen if he chose Arabella.

BenWillbondsPants · 26/06/2019 08:04

I've always liked Amber, but I'm not impressed with her or Anna just now.

I really can't stand the 'I just say it how it is' nonsense. Says who? People use it as an excuse to be nasty then hold their hands up and say that they're just saying what everyone else is too scared to say etc and it's bollocks. We all know someone like that and I always let them know that they are not, and have no need to, speak for me.

I really think that every one of us probably knows someone who takes it upon themselves to 'tell it as it is' and most people think they're wankers.

AlpenCrazy · 26/06/2019 08:12

Curtis massively wants Tommy

Tommy massively wants to win so is trying to cover all his bases - the bromance thing his idea of getting airtime and fans onside, esp the gay vote

Not fair to lead Curtis on tho

MoominMantra · 26/06/2019 08:14

Amber is also one of those people who labels themselves a certain way to evade criticism of her shitty behaviour,

Eg 'I'm not the kind of person who' 'I'm the last person who would...'

At least Amber has the excuse of being only 21. Anna really should be ashamed of herself.

Zampa · 26/06/2019 08:30

I grew up around Hebden Bridge @Hebdenbridge. We've something else in common!

Proteinshakesandtears · 26/06/2019 08:38

Yeah I dont think anyone can deny that Amber was a person to cause a problem last night.

She didnt needbto do what she did. She could recognised that it was best to deal with it tomorrow. Both her and Anna tried to get a reaction out of him.

To then say 'do I look like I am the person who woumd cause a problem?'

What does a person who likes causing problems actually look like?

And she was causing a problem.

BenWillbondsPants · 26/06/2019 08:47

I'm also finding all the coy fluttery eyes stuff that Anna does with Jordan utterly cringey. She's 28, not some 15 year old with her first boyfriend. I can barely watch.

howwudufeel · 26/06/2019 08:51

There was no bullying. Things got heated and both parties acted badly. Still love Amber though.

Proteinshakesandtears · 26/06/2019 08:54

I dont think Danny acted bad at all on last nights show.
