LOVE ISLAND 18 ❤️🏝 - keep it lighthearted for the love of

[tenthstreet]

New thread!

Curtis kept telling Amy, and anyone else who'd listen that they had a perfect relationship. She should have been more guarded, but the reality was that everybody was shocked when it appeared he actually was acting/lying to himself.

He thought they were a winning couple. That's all.

He was acting starry-eyed and loved up with her when he took her on that date after ArabellaGate. He was always gushing about all her good qualities. Now we can see that they were quite formal and not 'you're so hot, I just want to jump you when I see you' but she was taking them all as signs of adoration. Which they were intended as. As he was playing a game and he still would be if he thought she was the runaway star of the show 🤷‍♀️

I've thought that the shows need to be longer so we can see everyone in there and not just the main characters all the time. It's not fair to us or them.

I don't agree with this at all. I think he liked Amy initially. Many of us did the first week. But they didn't really know each other. The exclusivity chat was probably game playing, trying to mimic Dani and Jack. But like PP said, I think he realised a couple of weeks in had got in too deep with Amy being so full on. I think he fabricated the Jourdan thing to start the ball rolling hoping Amy would dump him. He was definitely a coward and dragged out the dumping.

Agree that he liked her enough initially to couple up with her for the sake of the game/staying in but it went totally off the rails for him when she got so obsessive.

I think she latched on to him and thought it might be genuine.

Clearly from what we have observed he wasn’t sincere. But he fed her a line. She grabbed it with both hands. Shame. Shame none of the girls said, he’s full of it. He strikes me as someone who is DESPERADO to be a blue peter presenter. All squeaky clean and nice and being Uber matey with everyone. He’s not in for love. He’s in for a tv job. He’s the most obvious about it too!

It's always looked to me that taking part in the LI for Curtis was just an opportunity to showcase his 'nice guy' persona and grab a relationship counselling slot on This Morning.

Good for Curtis putting a stop to the nonsense. Imagine if he gritted his teeth and just continued? Poor sod would've left the villa in a grooms suit, blinking furiously at what was about to happen next.

He’s probably been thinking for ages how do I dump her without being the horrible dickhead everyone hates . Finding out the public didn’t like them anyway probably helped

blinking furiously 😂😂😂

Have watched First Look and thought Lucie looks amazing in that white dress. She is so pretty. It’s a shame she and George are so devoid of personality!

Why is Curtis wearing what looks like a romper suit? He and Ovie have both worn a co-ord set of shorts and shirt but Ovie managed to pull his off better even though it was a bright pink floral set. Curtis looks like an overgrown toddler.

The elephant-rose-petal-will-you-Be-my-girlfriend is a little bit OTT. I think Tommy and Molly are going to get boring before the end!

I agree, but she turned out to be bananas.

Does anyone else think that Joanna was a bit of a bitch making a big scene like that and humiliating Amber?
She's acting as if her and micheal are getting married. If she is SOOO mature, surely she can rise above it!? I feel for Amber. Who really wants to see a younger woman crushed for a second time?!
And oh no Anna... She's like a gobby school girl. I liked her better than that!
Maura is just sad. If she would just be herself she might be so much more attractive!

Been lurking on the threads since LI started, just wondering if anyone else noticed a while ago when MM was being quizzed about what 'bits' her and Tommy had been upto, she was kind of coy about it and Amy said 'the same bits as me and Curtis?' And MM said yes. Yet more recently Amy is saying that Curtis just rolled over and went to sleep in bed every night? Was she just playing it up to seem like they were more into each other than we thought?

Yeah, Curtis was thinking, 'how do I end this without looking like I've been stringing her along whilst marketing myself as the resident got-his-shit-fully-together advice guru?' I noticed he toned down his counselling sessions but he's back to standing outside of rooms waiting for to people to walk out so he can meddle again. He literally stands in wait ready to get right in there for his screen time!

We know there are couples leaving tonight, but will there also be a recoupling?

Also, watch this space that from now on Curtis will be even more up Tommy's backside than previously. They will both be rinsing this bromance for as much as they can get, and especially Curtis as he must realise there's now no chance he's going to win. They foresee £££ as a double act - the next Chris and Kem, and for Curtis this is his lifeline now and the one hope the show was worth doing for him.

No, some of their 'doing bits' was aired 😷

I agree that Curtis never really committed himself to Amy. When she said about the future and he just looked away it became very obvious. She seemed to be in a different coupling to him.

I’m mortified to admit I saw a lot of myself in Amy when she was doing the whole ‘I need space’ thing then was devastated when he took the bait and ended it when really she wanted him to beg for them to stay together. Then to keep trying to give him a chance to say he’d like to try again. So awful to watch as it just reminded me of me.

Sagrada - Amy and Curtis' bits?? 😂

Amy and Curtis did do something sexual. So from Amy’s pov, he withdrew from her physically as well as emotionally after a couple of weeks but she went ahead envisaging their future when it had clearly fizzled out already.

Ahhh I must have missed that -thankfully-

It was hideous to watch - all of it is when they do the creepy night then camera and we see the humping duvets and sex faces. I cannot imagine anything less erotic than being in that bedroom with all the slurpy noises knowing the cameras are on you - I don’t know how anyone can get any kind of ‘flutters’ going on anywhere in such circumstances!

I saw the MM and Tommy 'bits' and that was enough thank you very much!

Me too, I winced when I watched it! I hope she is ok and being well supported now she is out.

I too had uncomfortable flashbacks to being 22 and similarly over-invested in a guy who in retrospect could not have been less interested. I have winced in recognition as well.
