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

[tenthstreet]

New thread!

Spot on Rainbow he's been a dickhead but the signs were there, she fabricated this fairytale romance and ignored all of these many warning signs because of how desperate she was for this perfect relationship. Curtis didn't come across to me as if he was deliberately being malicious, he looked like he just didn't know how to get himself out of the situation. I really dislike his whole nice guy persona though, it's so over the top and all his smiles look forced and I just want him out regardless of Amy.

All Curtis did was call time on a very short, non sexual telly flirt as the lass went wild for it.

He's not a serial killer!

Well I'm not defending anyone but the whole point is to 'crack on' with someone else, they probably signed a contract going in that they would get on with it if they were dumped.
(It's written on the bar and it's the theme)

Nobody wants to be watching someone mooning around humming Roy Orbison songs 'it's over its over its OVER. ITS OVVVER'

It's love island, that misery just infects other people. I'd say Amy was told to leave.

Yes, it was as though Amy had no idea what Love Island is all about! Curtis wasn't fast forwarding her at all, she was the one talking as though they were married.

If Anna leaves then they can probably throw some additional alcohol in there to spice things up a bit. It's a bit boring. If Anna is still there I don't think they could risk it. She would probably glass someone.

Yep.

Amy is not very bright and she turned it into something it wasn't.

As for Maura giving Amy the heads up over making a move on Curtis. How do you think that would have gone? --> 😭😭😭😭

He's not evil incarnate but he is gutless and should have called time when it was obvious Amy had bought so obsessively into the whole fairytale romance thing. It would have been kinder.

@Sagradafamiliar and @ProteinshakesandAntonsAss If you two were a love island couple, you'd be dumped.
😂😂

Oh by the way, did anyone else notice how George came alive at the moment Lucie dumped him? He was laughing and bantering- I actually thought it was hilarious! 😂 Made me think there could in face be someone entertaining lurking in there, and perhaps he needs to be paired up with someone who brings that side out more. I've nothing against Lucie but she is a bit monotone these days.

Not malicious and yet he has said himself he lied to everyone from the very beginning. I wouldn't go as far as to say he groomed Amy but he saw his easy target and then acted like he was completely in love with her, not just to her but everyone else. It was an act he was keeping up. Other islanders have been surprised to find out some of the red flags Amy has mentioned in retrospect. He lied to and fooled everyone. He says this himself.
Remember how surprised we were as viewers when Amy mentioned the future and he looked away, uncomfortable? It was surprising because we didn't see it coming and she definitely didn't. He played her.

You're expecting guts on Love Island? It's not Who Dares Wins.

Not guts - maybe a bit of compassion for the poor girl though?

Speak for yourself, I saw it coming! He was looking very uncomfortable with her for a long time. But you've started a big lie rolling it's quite difficult to get off. It took him a while to figure out how to get out.

What I think people are bothered about with the Maura/Amy thing is also that she was slagging Curtis off and saying Amy is well rid and trying to steer her away. I think she sees Amy as weak she wouldn't dare do that to Amber or Anna. I'm still not buying that she's into Curtis at all.

I was speaking for myself

I think it's ludicrous to suggest Curtis was acting like he was in love with Amy, blimey we have many threads on here talking about how he clearly wasn't feeling it. I personally predicted many threads ago he would end it, and we were all joking how he treated her like an elderly aunt.

Gender isn't relevant, sometimes a woman is wrong. Sometimes a man is. Amy took this for far more than it was, and he did right to end it. She was talking like she was spending the rest of her life with this man. And at no stage did he get down on one knee.

When he tells her kindly but straight she accuses him of being nasty.

He simply hooked up with the wrong person, because unless he committed to marry her and have babies, he was always going to be fucked by her. No two ways about it.

Apparantly they had to bring in a therapist just to help her through it. She was that into believing she had no future without this man.

They're all in there to get famous and get as much money as they can.

I don't really expect compassion in that circumstance.

I think Curtis quite disliked Amy by the end.

I was taking to Sagrada

You're right that it's probably the wrong programme to be expecting decent behaviour from and that he was never into her at all.

Oh that occasion. It was surprising because we didn't see it coming

Compassion towards Amy is definitely needed. She jumped in head first with no boundaries, far too invested and failed to spot the signs he wasn't into her, resulting in behaviour that some people (not me) call unhinged. These are all the signs of someone with a deeply insecure attachment style and likely the result of neglectful or otherwise remiss parenting. I should know, I was like that at her age and allowed boys and men to treat me appallingly, all the while going back for more. I can just imagine the 26 year old me asking for constructive criticism. It makes me so sad and cringe, but I forgive it because I did not know any better, because no-one had taught me. I had to grow up and parent myself and learn why I had behaved this way, and above all work on my sense of self. Amy needs therapy and to learn to love and accept herself and set healthy boundaries. I do worry about all the crap she's going to see in 24 hours on her social media.

Curtis on the other hand, from what I've seen before on Celebrity Hunted seems to come from an extremely supportive and loving family background and I did think he seemed to have emotional intelligence. He certainly has stronger boundaries and oodles of self confidence. Therefore he absolutely would have known that she was super invested, and he would have seen that her self-esteem was low. And yet he carried on stringing her along nevertheless, I assume because he thought he'd win it that way.

@Shambu - so you were - sorry!

No worries

he saw his easy target and then acted like he was completely in love with her

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.

I actually think MM helped him realise he really needed to end it when he did. I really admired the chat she had with him.

The Maura stuff is just weird. Given both Lucie and Maura didn't talk to the girls first I do wonder if the producers have been involved with that to create drama. Given Curtis used Amy as a reason excuse not to do stuff with Maura, will be interesting to see what he does without Amy in the Villa! Probably nothing.

I really like George from the minute information provided I think he's sound and very gorgeous but who know's after all the other gubbins they keep showing and all the other gubbins they obviously don't!

The shows need to be longer and 90% of the people need to leave basically

She needs more than compassion now, she needs therapy.

But it's pointless to expect a 24 year old bloke who's known her a month, who's trying to get rich on game show, to be St Francis of Assisi.
