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

[Wrongdissection]

New thread!

@Wrongdissection Maura could have spoken to Tom without screaming and shouting at him and telling him to go fuck himself. And it wasnt a one off. She screamed and shouted at him again over a different incident. Ive seen an interview with Tom where he said that he is afraid of the Irish accent now. Michael has never raised his voice with Amber ever.

Bandara, the difference is those events you mention are one off arguments, and just as nonone said it was abuse when Michael and amber had their big argument, no one said it was abuse when the others did,

The reason it's abuse I've already stated, because it's a repeated pattern of behaviour, because he has done everything from gaslight her it was her fault he dumped her, through to proactively seeking her out to have a go at her because he was angry.

I am starting to wonder if you actually watch it, or if you are confused as a pp said as to who amber is, your comments are that mind boggling.

As I say, we’ll never meet in the middle, I just don’t see it the way you do.

@bluntness100 did you read my post? It was not a one off incident with Maura, she screamed shouted and yelled swear words at Tom on more than one occasion

Michael has never raised his voice with Amber ever

Ah ok, it makes sense now. You don't watch it because if you did you'd know that he has done several times.

@Bluntness100 it is a very strange argument to say to someone who disagrees with you that they dont warch the show. Is that the best that you can do? Now I think about it, I think that Maura got alot of complaints to ofcom about her abusive behaviour, so obviously alot of people saw that

Another one here who does not agree that Michael behaviour was " abusuve". He was an absolute dick the way he spoke to her but the term "abuse" is very strong & shouldn't be thrown around like it is here. He clearly has no interest in amber and must be fed up of being told he does. There was a nice way of telling her & he was wrong but that does not make him an "abuser".

@Bluntness100 can you please stop saying I dont watch it. It is making you sound stupid - that you have nothing else to argue with.
I have watched it from the start.

@Serenajoy1 I absolutely agree. He is entitled to say that he is not interested in her and wants to move on

Bandara if you watched it you'd know he raised his voice to her. Last night alone he shouted at her to sit down. After rhe recoupling he was shouting at her in the argument,

The only logical conclusion to you not knowing that is you don't watch it. Or you watch it drunk and forget.

First Look is up. Surprised at the girls they chose for Chris and Ovie. Amber cross - think Maura may have said/not said something to Michael.

First Look is up.

Ovie is a sweetheart. I get Ambers disappointment that no one stuck up for her.

It’s not all about raising your voice either 🙄
I’m sure you can abuse someone just as well without shouting. His whole face, body language and attitude towards Amber have been very very weird. She has done nothing wrong towards him but he acts like he despises her.

Michael has never raised his voice with Amber ever.

Ovie and Amber do seem to have a really genuine friendship.
Seems to speak volumes Ovie is there for her and sees why she's upset, whilst the girls who contributed to the situation in the first place aren't.

What is First Look?

It's the sustained victimisation of Amber by Michael that is problematic. He has been obsessed by trying to stop her 'winning' for weeks. Totally different to Maura or Belle's one off temper tantrums although I do agree that both their outbursts were excessive. Also it was not just the girls stirring about Michael's attraction to Amber, as Jordan said the same.

Michael went to sit down with amber and told her very nicely it was over. Amber went back to the girls and said he had made it clear that he still like her. Lie

No. Joanna got them all together because Michael had NOT said to Amber there was no future for them, specifically - that is what transpired from the 3 of them sitting and talking through the conversation. When men aren't clear they can't blame the women for wondering, especially when everyone around them can apparently see him mooning over her (even Joanna). Amber then left them to it and only spoke to him on the night of them being dumped because she had been gee'd on by the others. She didn't even push him for a response! She was literally putting her heart on the line, something she has repeatedly made clear she isn't comfortable doing. Even then he didn't clearly respond or let her down gently. Just looked like the cat who got the cream and then didn't leave with the one he was telling was "what he was looking for". If anyone is manipulating it is Michael.

I forsee Ovie getting protective of Amber soon. A few of the looks Michael has given Ovie suggests he isn't pleased someone like him has Amber's back, plus all of the "marry" options Amber got when Michael wants people to not like her. He's digging himself into a petty hole. IMO when women get on you can usually see where the trouble lies - it's why men are so keen to keep exes apart; they get found out.

Thinking on it a bit more, I think Michael is projecting his ex onto Amber. He seems to have put her into the same box which might explain some of the misplaced rage?

I wonder who's ex is going to be heading in, Tommy? I do feel that he and MM have had a fairly smooth run so far. Would be very interesting if it were Michael's ex...

I watched it again. From 55 minutes in last night. He spoke to Amber perfectly nicely, apart from the "sit down" but I think he was just trying to catch her before she went on her way. When he went to sit back with the boys they looked a bit surprised that it had been such a quick chat - that is all.

He doesn't look at her like he hates her. But I wouldn't blame him for being annoyed at the way she wouldn't let him go and get on with his new relationship. All of that was fuelled by whisperings from MollyMae and Maura of course who have their own agendas for doing that.

I feel for Amber and am not saying she caused anything. Michael could be the biggest arse in the universe for all I know - but not from what I have seen on Love Island.

Gosh it's so weird how so many people can watch something and 99 percent take the same thing from it, and one percent see something totally different. Bandara and nextphone being the one percent.

Women’s aid and abuse ? . Omg it’s a fucking programme. No wonder they all end up getting abused when they get out because they have to put up with the over reaction from the public.. It’s embarrassing. It’s a tiny segment. We are not there. We don’t see the editing. We don’t know what happened before or after. I remember watching live when it was a live feed, big brother, and when they showed it edited the next evening I was gobsmacked at how it completely reread what happened the night before . The girls have fed Amber who by her own admission has never been dumped. She can’t accept it and I think Micheal has been pretty patient with Amber who along with Anna has been a bit of a bully herself. It’s like Remain v leave. People see and hear things differently. You will never convince someone what they think is wrong . Let’s move on.

I'm actually a little taken aback. If anyone describes Michaels behaviour last night as perfectly nice, then either they are being goady or their norm is so skewed you have to be concerned about what is going on in their personal lives.

There was nothing nice about Michael last night, he was deeply unpleasant to put it mildly.

perfectly nice
God you are setting your bar low if you class that as perfectly nice.

YY bluntness I think that 1% are looking at it through their misogynistic lens though, aren't they
