LOVE ISLAND 23 - Our fannies are trobbin’!

[Quaffy]

As the old one is almost full...

Maura's hair was lovely tonight, to the PP who mentioned it. I am kicking myself this evening as I've been looking at all the girls long hair as I've recently went from having hair very similar to Maura's to more like Joanna's this week and it's not helping my regret watching this show.

Greg really does remind me of Grant from Love Island AUS. He was a fucking shit so hopefully Greg is nothing like him.

Also, I've been reading every single LI thread on here and been really disappointed at how every one of them has a different issue. It's like a playground in here and it has really ruined what started out as a great discussion and somewhere to keep up with the gossip from the show. It's just really ridiculous that we can't have a discussion without some people causing friction because they want to be controversial.

How anyone can now see Michael as 'fit' when we know how he sees women...and the tiny ears/head wobble/ smile that only ever reaches one beady eye...?! Each to their own!

Am so happy Amber went for head. I knew she was savvy! Her and Greg have mutual respect which is more than she ever had with 'roid rage. Him coming over AGAIN to sow seeds of doubt about Greg hopefully made her solidify her concerns that he is the snakiest of snakes.

Think some people in the house were put onto the back foot with that one. Fran's speech made it clear with the laughter from the rest, what they all think of him - cheese toasty man. Yay, what a characteristic!

Tbf it has seemed a bit as if Curtis has almost been grooming Tommy from the get go - he suggested their first kiss and has always been into feels and hugs. Tommy has prob been surrounded by v v masculine men so is enjoying a new friend... It doesn't surprise me if Curtis swings both ways. Tommy is a bit too innocent to realise IMO. I don't think the producers will let that particular story be a "thing" though. MM might be more aware of it than most I suspect.

Sorry I am away for the weekend, no access to TV :(
Who did Amber pick?
Did anyone leave, if so who?

Amber picked Greg, no one has left

Thanks
So glad Chris is still there

Belle is a makeup artist

Is she??? I really like Belle. I think Belle is really attractive WITHOUT make-up. Her make-up is awful!

A friend knows Curtis. He isn't gay but has apparently slept with some men

Well he's definitely bi sexual then isn't he!

Pricedrop yes, she is much better without make-up! Completely agree; you can see her eyes!

I think Curtis is very much going for the ‘bromance’ because he knows it’s something that can play well and make you popular. Because he initially coupled up with Amy, probably seeing a good storyline there, but didn’t appear to have much attraction towards her it did feel like he was vastly more into Tommy! Now he’s with Maura, although everything he says makes me want to rip off my own skin, his physical attraction to her is palpable. People on the threads speculating about his sexuality predicted he would avoid sex with Maura; he certainly hasn’t done that! I think he’s gone in with a game plan, he miscalculated with the bizarre Casa Amor stuff but he’s bounced back. The stuff with Tommy is definitely part of his strategy, which isn’t to say that he isn’t genuinely friends with him or even that he’s not attracted to him. But I think the theorising that he’s gay is somewhat redundant now!

Anyone else noticing the music trying to sway mood? With the recoupling there was a load of close ups of Michael's face with "won't make me love you any less" lyrics on repeat - FFS he doesn't give 2 shits about Amber, just himself! It irritates me probably irrationally but hey! how they can see what he has done yet paint a story of a love lorn innocent who has 'done all he can for love!'

Who picked Chris?

I am assuming the following happened;
Tommy / MM
Curtis / Maura
Jordan / Anna
Anton / Belle
Greg / Amber
Ovie / India

Leaving Harley / Francesca / Chris / Michael

Harley picked Chris
Francesca picked dickhead Michael (as last option left)

Harley picked Chris

Francesca was last to pick and Michael was the last boy standing. She delivered a really funny speech!

Well the producers are doing everything they can to protect Tommy/MM and Curtis/Maura

Threy are doing the opposite. You hardly see tommy and Molly now, they get little to no screen time, and it's caused the playing field to open up. Not sure they would win now.

They only show Maura and Curtis when they are doing something interesting and because they are new.

Thanks for the update.
I am stuck at my husband's uni reunion. 8 families in a big house. Only 1 TV and no one else watches Love island :(
Glad that Amber didn't fall for Michael's bullshit.
He'll probably say, I wanted Francesca all along. I didn't have feelings for Joanna or Amber

The problem for Tommy/MM is they peaked too soon, they’ve now overcome all their drama (Maura/Lucie cracking on to Tommy), they’ve done the girlfriend thing and said I love you. People are bored of them now, and coupled with a few unfortunate expressions where Molly has looked bored/like she didn’t fancy him, I think the smoochy/romantic stuff isn’t really landing or is being perceived as fake.

They could still take it, but it’s not as dead cert as it was.

I think unless the producers send in someone to shake up Tommy and Molly, they are absolutely not pushing them to win at all. Those two need a storyline! I think the cracks are really starting to show with Molly - and Tommy just seems dull. I think Belle and Anton are quite likely to be overtaking them now and if Amber gets something going with Greg she would definitely be in with a good chance.

That "winner winner chicken dinner" clip was dead behind the eyes from both of them. She looks bored witless.

Is it just me or is Curtis red eyed and a bit dopey atm? Wondering if he has Anton's mystery illness or if cracks are showing there too.

Harlee sweet but not showing much character. Hope her and Chris get on as I get the feeling she is usually not treated well.

I think Maura and Curtis and Amber and Greg are good contenders now actually!

Absolutely gutted that Francesca will have to leave and can't believe it's worked out that way for her. She and Chris are my favourites by a mile.

Gone right off Jordan! I find it gross the amount of shagging around he's done ... yuck!

I don't think Belle has had lip fillers and like all of the women she is so much prettier without her evening make up on.

Just seen this poll of who people want out. Amber and Greg have 2 votes. But I find Tommy and Molly-Mae's position interesting. Think their popularity is definitely waning now there's more fun characters in there.

Actually Michaels behaviour has done me a massive favour.

I showed DD (13) the clip of last nights "it won't work with you and Greg" arrogance and had a good chat with her about how he was belittling her "I know you well, he doesn't" to try and make her believe she didn't deserve Greg. This sort of insidious gaslighting is difficult to explain without a concrete example and an insight into people's relationships but that was gold last night and DD totally gets it.

Thanks Michael, you tiny eared wanker.

Wow just 2 votes compared to Michael’s 172

I know it’s CHALDESH but I’m so happy for this sweet revenge.

@ILoveYou3000 very interesting!

The final for me would be ;
Winners - Maura & Curtis
2nd- Amber & Greg
3rd- Tommy & Molly
4th - India & Ovie
5th - Anton & Belle
