LOVE ISLAND 17 - oh Maura Maura Maura

[tenthstreet]

Hello

I think Amber and Ovie make a nice pairing. Anna needs to go back to Jordan; unless he leaves the villa, she’s not going to be able to leave him alone.

I'm so surprised that Anna is going back to Jordan. Yes, he seems like a nice bloke but there's something about him that reminds me of Grumio from Plebs (very funny show, if you haven't seen it, you should.

Amber is just bloody gorgeous, isn't she? Joanna is so meh in comparison.

Maura really is like a dog on heat now. I can't decide if I love her or not. I think the accent puts me off a bit (also Irish (albeit a nordy) but I have I find I'm irrationally unaccepting of people not pronouncing 'th' properly)). I can't believe she fancies Curtis though.

Amy is going full All-Saints on us...
"A few questions that i need to know.."

Can we just vote for Ovie to win, on his own?

As much as I like Ovie, I don't get why people are pairing him with Amber. On their date when she asked him who he likes and he said Joanna, he was letting her know he wasn't interested. Amber was clearly a little shocked but recovered well. He has friend-zoned her!

It works be really good for Joanna if Ovie got with her. Then the girls in the villa wouldn't hate her so much. I don't think Anna would even mind. It doesn't seem like Ovie is that into Anna and vice versa.

I have liked Maura but I will be disappointed if she goes for Curtis straight away. I know it’s the name of the game but that’s pretty brutal by anyone’s standards.

As much as I think Amber is beautiful with a refreshingly curvy figure, she has a bit of a stoop when walking in those high heels, I’m always not willing her to stand up straight! (Disclaimer, I cant wear heels at all!)

Amy and Marvin need to go on a date

Curtis said he messaged Maura earlier this year telling her how good looking she is

That was before he knew her though. None of the men have liked her and there is a reason for that.

Ovie is just lovely. He's well shot of Anna who is an imbecile.

Treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen

I thought Michael treated Amber like shit yet she's telling Ovie that her ideal scenario is to get back with Michael.
Low self esteem? Attraction to bad guys?
I know she's young but I find Amber almost as pathetic as Amy. She even had to be persuaded not to chose Michael for her date!!
Ovie hasn't said a bad word about Jordan. The complete polar opposite of how Michael has behaved. I'm a big fan of Ovie as a person so far.

Has George pissed off someone in production? That "convo" with Lucie was a wind up right? That surely can't be the highlight of his time in there so far?

Maura has kissed a lot of 🐸 frogs but she hasn't been deterred in her search for a prince. Even if it means treading all over Amy.

Poor George. I think he's been typecast as a Ken doll with no personality. I think he's probably too shy for love island and the producers are using that to portray him as gorgeous but not too bright.

Yeah I thought it was harsh on George. Lucie is hardly Miss Bright I'm sure he is sweet enough guy probably just really shy.

That was before he knew her though. None of the men have liked her and there is a reason for that*

What's the reason none of the men fancy Maura?

epic BOLD fail there

Love Ovie! Glad he’s getting more screen time and I’m up for the Amber/Michael/Joanna/Ovie plan they’ve hatched. Michael was a dick, Amber was a dick previously, I’m into them getting back together. Good love story to rival MM/Tommy.

Maura/Curtis still gives me the icks but I’m looking forward to fireworks on Sunday. ⚡️☄️💥🔥

I actually don’t think Amy is that fragile, there’s a lot of anger there... and I think she’s had to cope with rejection before (likely for the same reasons). Also this is doing a lot to rehabilitate her image with the public - I think it will work in her favour ultimately.

Gotta love Maura’s moves - ‘Teach me to dance Curtis’ in a bikini

I was so hoping, clutching at straws, Maura wasn’t referring to Curtis when talking about dancing lessons. Nothing wrong with dancing lessons but to start flirting after a few weeks of knowing him better, especially when he’s just been a dick about Amy.

Casting my vote for the next thread title as "Curtis, you're not Jesus bruv"

Lol @Nobhobs

@blueiris I'm guessing it's because, as Tom said, she's coarse, loud and a show off. I'm not a fan.

With you @Nobhobs another vote here

Curtis will pair with Maura.

If it's TRUE that the new girls informed him, how unpopular Amy is. They will have told him how popular Maura is.

I dont think any of this is rehabilitating Amy's image. It's making people feel sorry for her. But all the 'he has taken everything from me' type of talk needs to stop, because she is coming across as far too intense.

If she carries on moping over this and has keeps having conversations with Curtis, where he is put in a position of having to keep telling her it's not going to happen then people will start feeling sorry for Curtis and she will come across as unhinged. She will still be unpopular.

If she continues like this, they either have to edit her out or show it. Neither will be good for her image. I am not sure what would be. If she couples with someone else, but isnt really feeling it she will end up going. If she couples up with someone and they become her knew everything people will be saying 'oh Amy, not again'.

Right now, people feel sorry for her. I dont think they like her more.

"Curtis, you're not Jesus bruv"

Has my vote!

What's the reason none of the men fancy Maura?

Because they know they won't be able to get away with their bullshit, with Maura. It's too much effort to be expected to be honest and respectful, isn't it

Hang on, I was out last night and missed LI... So Maura was talking about Curtis?!

None of the boys fancy Maura because she is too full on and cringey. Also doesn't help she looks ten years older without make up

Maura doesnt look 10 years older without make up, imo.

The reason no one has really liked her is as pp, says, she has shown she wont take shit lying down. That may put Curtis off. He cant convince her theres a big romance, if there isnt.
