Love Island ♥️🌴21 - what’s Michael gonna do?!

[Wrongdissection]

New thread!

@Chipstick10 I saw someone had mentioned Belle’s accent further up. I think I did too, after the big argument at the “nightclub”. I notified it with Anna too after CA and she met Ovie.

Going back to Michael, I can’t understand his behaviour really but I also don’t agree with this “people don’t turn off feelings that quickly”. They weren’t in love. They fancied each other and had known each other a couple of weeks. He could very well have gone off her to be fair. But that still doesn’t explain why he’s been so nasty.

Tommy/MM have been clocked:

www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/love-island-fans-blast-snake-18297692.amp

Curtis said to Tommy that Michael should leave, then told Michael that he wanted him to stay. Who's the 🐍 ..

There's so much pressure on them all!

I was feeling very sorry for Joanna, stuck between Michael and his love/hate thing for Amber. She had no right grabbing his face at the end of the eviction but she clearly felt humiliated. She seemed well-liked in the villa, including by Amber, she could have had a better chance at recoupling than Michael.

Amber, I do love her! She's had some crap advice though. It was horrible to see her in shock after that aggressive chat last night.

Michael was like a different lad at the start. His charm was from his laid back personality and the way he brought out Amber's jokier side. Then that tweet, and it all went wrong for him as he recoupled with Joanna and sunk into some sort of one-sided paranoid competition with Amber.
He seemed so irrationally angry with Amber, but a previous poster (Bluntness?) made a good point that he blamed her for all the gossip about him changing his mind, when he was really fuelling it himself.

I know they've all chosen to be on the tv but they're really not vile etc,

• the pressure does seem to bring out the worst sometimes!

'Bring down Anton & Michael'?

Tommy isn't perfect but he's more deserving of winning than anyone else, especially Michael who's not a very nice person and isn't even in a couple now.

@BenWillbondspants

That's interesting because I wasn't watching closely, but I thought when Curtis was talking to Michael he was more saying 'I don't want to see you go, but I understand you have to', rather than 'you shouldn't go'.

I thought he was trying to chivvy him out the door, while seeming suitably sad!

What do we think will happen with the newbies tomorrow?

Tommy is more likely to have told MM about what Anton did because he was told to, or because Anton tried to cause issues for him earlier on.

Tommy telling MM isnt worse than Anton telling Lucie she should tell Tommy how she feels, the running round trying to convince Tommy to not tell MM.

Anton kept saying to Tommy that MM wasnt genuine. Not once but kept doing it. For a while Anton really had it in for MM, right up until casa Amor. Once he met Belle he has appeared to stop that.

I dont think Anton is as lovely as everyone thinks.

I wasn’t posting that to stick up for Michael @MoominMantra just to show that people have clocked that Tommy seems to be on a mission to eliminate competition. He obviously doesn’t realise Michael has eliminated himself by being such a twat.

I think it’s a good thing if things are opening up a bit eg with Anton/Belle or Amber/Ovie as a friendship couple.

Tommy/MM had it in the bag... now they look a little bit panicked that it might not be.

I made those points about Anton at the time re his not so nice behaviour about MM/Tommy and manipulating Lucie for his own ends.

I just think it’s interesting the way Tommy/MM are behaving in the final stretch - they’ve done so well but now seem a little bit jittery.

Not sure Curtis has a game plan I just think he says whatever he thinks people want to hear at the time and is generally a bit fake, gossipy and inconsistent.

(Meaning I agree with you re Anton, not that you should know what I posted !)

I dont think Anton is as lovely as everyone thinks

Totally agree. I think he's got quite a nasty streak. I'm not convinced he actually likes Belle, either. More that she's the only one who has came in and given him some attention.

Thrilled for Maura and her trobbing vagina! Hope she gets lots of snogs in with Curtis, although god alone knows why she'd chase him down so hard, as he is proper cringe.

Michael behaved really badly last night. He is so fucking angry all the time. Obviously, it is really hard to tell from tiny exerts off da telly, but I wonder if he has control issues and feels really out of control in the house. Not that that is an excuse for him behaving like a total arse. I'm also of the view that if he'd really found what he was looking for, he'd have fucked off with Jojo - but suspect she isn't really the girl for him at all. Don't think Amber is either.

Anton & Belle are so in it to try and win it. I think they have about as much connection as a round pin plug in as square socket - but hey, it makes for interesting viewing.

MM is definitely stirring the pot now, as she wants her and Tommy to be the winning couple.

Want to see more of Ovie, he is the coolest character. Reckon Chris is quite a laugh too, so hoping we see more of him

I think that Michael was right.
Everyone in the villa keep saying that they want amber and michael to get back together. That hurt Joanna.
Amber still has the impression that michael wants to get back together with her.

She has no rights to him. If he does not want to be with her, she needs to get over it.

He needed to tell it to her firmly that he is not interested, to get everyone to back off. And he did

Anton and Belle do not like each other.
Tommy is an abuser according to his ex so I really dont want him to win.
I can see curtis and maura or amber and ovie getting the win

I think it is ridiculous that anyone would say if he really liked Joanna he would leave with her.

130,000 people applied to be on Love island. Michael has been there from the start. Of course he is going to see it to the end.
Would you give up your tv place (which will affect your career for the next year) for someone else.

It would be stupid

I’ve just seen the clip of Michael going back to sit on the swing again. Man he is so angry, he can barely regulate his breathing. How strange.

@Bandara, I agree. I think he's an arse but I think he was right to spell it out. Amber clearly thought there was still a chance.

Some of the islanders are quite strategic in their thinking. You can see they regard LI as a stepping stone for bigger things. Usually these islanders are connected to famous people/have agents etc

Others just see it as a once in a lifetime holiday/chance to be in the spotlight. These islanders tend to not to see the experience as "just" a game show. They aren't so public image savvy.

I really hope Maura pies Curyis for the new Irish guy,that'll teach the smug little prick

I agree, his level of aggression was staggering. Someone mentioned in another thread he could be on steroids, if that's the case the pent up aggression (coupled with the fact he's a nasty piece of work) could explain some of his over the top outbursts.

He's done now, obviously not popular, no love interest in there and really should go, he's going to get voted out the first chance the public get, he's so hated. He can try to repair his image once he's out but in there he's just making it worse for himself. Walking out with Joanna would've given him more credibility and earned him some respect and they would've had a better stroryline to play to in the outside.

He wasn't particularly popular anyhow - I had a convo with my DD about gaslighting based on the way he was talking a week or so ago.

He won't be on steroids (unless medically prescribed) - or at least won't have been since entering the villa. And I don't know the timelines for coming off, and of course it might not be relevant anyhow. Because his day job is firefighter. And they risk being sacked for use of potentially mood altering drugs

*I think I'm in the minority here but I feel like Michael has been sniped at for weeks with people saying he still likes amber when he really really doesn't

Yes maybe he was abit harsh but think he's just sick of her sour face*

Agreed! Cant anyone else see how manipulated he has been by the program, he's cracking up. I honestly think he would be the person i'd be most worried about mental health wise after this, it might seem controversial because he's a man and acting like 'a dick' but what's been done to him isn't ok.

He will now be plagued by this when he's out and I would certainly be worried about him spiraling into a dark place

I don't think Michael's level of aggression is all that staggering when you compare it to, for example, Belle's level of aggression. Or Anna's constant low level/passive aggression.

Whether you like Joanna or not the way she was treated by the other girls in there was disgusting.

I find it really disturbing when people watch a man abuse a woman as Michael did to amber last night and jump to his Defence and say she deserved it.

It makes me think either they behave like this in real life or they are being subjected to it, and don't understand how wrong it is.

As said, this thread shows why so many women are in abusive relationships. When they can watch a man abuse a woman and shout go you, it's her fault.
