Love Island 25 - It’s Fannytastic

[MynameisJune]

There we go

Not sure why we are being treated to a running commentary from Auntie Stella's DD on these threads? Is anyone interested? If I want a teenagers opinion I'll ask my own.

Maura showed her not so bright side last night and I completely agree with pps that if the voting had been a day later then Maura & Curtis would have been booted and lovely Chris would have stayed .

Maura - you don't understand why Curtis gave Jordan that advice? and you're surprised he didn't guarantee he wouldn't do the same to you or any girlfriend of his?? WTF! remember a tall blonde girl called Amy? You were sharing a house with her up until a couple of weeks ago. You're showing yourself up here lovey.

I post sporadically on these threads.

And some (far from all) of those have been about the high-volume Insta reactions, via DD (who follows more and more relevant posters than I do), I had thought that was on a par to posting about what was being said about LI on other media (all of which we could watch for ourselves too)

I posted this morning about what she said about the boys because I thought people might be interested, then added one about the girls to be even-handed. Then answered a question about backsies.

I am sorry that I have made such a misjudgement about what might be welcome, and for all consequent irritation I have caused by adding unwanted irrelevancies to the thread. And have decided it is better if I do not post again

Sorry everyone

@Nextphonewontbesamsung there was absolutely no need for that at all.

@AuntieStella please continue posting. I for one enjoy your posts far more than the repetitive calls of fake and scripted, or the ott bitching.

The vast majority of posters on this thread are great, but the odd few really bring it down. I tend now to just scroll on past the stuff I don't want to read.

I was genuinely interested, Auntie Stella. Started wondering about what influences our opinions, and I don't have any teenagers -my three year old's not so interested yet!
That post was a good e.g. of someone happy to get bitchy about someone else, while laying into Maura. Don't let someone like this put you off!

I actually like hearing about what teens think as I don’t have any I can access and they are a massive part of the vote @AuntieStella

Ignore the grumps @AuntieStella. If there is at at least one fight a day on these threads I don't think it could be called true love island thread

Can we keep the thread friendly please #lessannamoreovie

@AuntieStella I'm interested :) please continue posting, if someone isn't interested they don't have to read them

I agree, I have young adults and their reactions are really interesting to me, as I often don’t see what they see.

OK fair enough, if people find it interesting then of course crack on.

I read Anna’s interview in the Sun, I think she comes across quite well. Do we think Jordan/Anna/India was worse than eg Wes/Laura/Megan from last year though? And are there other worse examples from previous seasons?

Nextphonewontbesamsung really unnecessary.

@AuntieStella please carry on posting. I'm interested, it was me that asked what you meant by the backsie comment. My teens aren't watching and I'm interested to hear what the teen view is.

One thing I think has been great this series is the take no shit from men behaviour exhibited by Anna/Amber/Maura... If Maura could just ditch Curtis now and Joanna can continue to blank CHALDISH that would be ideal.

I think the timing of it all makes it more shocking than previous head turns so close to asking her to be official! I'm not sure if it is really the worse thing to happen ever in the villa there have been lots of WTF moments over the years I'm not sure that one will stand out but it could be because I wasn't invested in the couple

I didn't think Curtis or Maura came across that badly at all. Maura is sticking up for her friend and Curtis is too, albeit he's gone too far and excused bad behavior and given bad advice based on his friendship rather than what would be right. That's not the worst thing to have done though, it was bad judgement and he apologized. Jordan would have done what he wanted whatever Curtis's advice was. I wouldn't compare it to how he treated Amy either, they had split up before he cracked on with Maura and Francesca. The opposite of asking her to be his girlfriend like Jordan had just done.

I thought the same @Nextphonewontbesamsung (not saying that to be mean to anyone and I wouldn’t have mentioned it but want you to know you were not alone thinking it odd!)

I think the women on LI are quite vocal this year - Anna, Maura and Bella, Amber too until what happened with Michael - more so than last year

I wouldn't compare it to how he treated Amy either, they had split up before he cracked on with Maura and Francesca. The opposite of asking her to be his girlfriend like Jordan had just done.

Not true. Amy was in Casa amor moping and missing him and he was trying to crack on with Jourdan in the main villa. If she'd accepted he would've picked her over Amy.

Next thing

I think that was u necessary. Auntiestella, I too ask my teens opinion, he's nearer their age than I am. He thought Curtis' 'advice' was wrong, and quite pleased Greg pulled him up on it.
So cross that Chris has gone, he was such a funny, lovely and good looking guy. Bloody Curtis should have gone, and I would have even sacrificed Maura to get him out. She seriously needs to dump him or win and take all the money.

I agree kenandbarbie.

There is no reason for any of the islanders to stay with the person they are coupled with, it's only a matter of weeks together but I do think they have dealt with it immaturely but then they are young etc. How they have dealt with it is crap, Curtis's advice was rubbish, Maura went OTT without even listening to Curtis. At the end of the day though even making someone your GF in LI is hardly a massive commitment. Curtis is a people pleaser, he will kind of agree with anyone to avoid confrontation I think.

I think Anna has come across badly from the beginning but Jordan did surprise me I admit.

Curtis either gave advice to Jordan on how to get away with it, or knew India would say no and thought if he spoke to her that would be the end of it.

Basically either speak to India first, because if you speak to Anna, she will do her nut and speak to India ensuring you can't go there. So he gave what was the best advice on how to stand a chance with India.

He wasn't thinking about Anna in that context, , likely because either Anna was going to get hurt either way, or if he suspected Jordan didn't stand a chance, and thought if he spoke to India and she said no. Anna might never need to know. And in that context he was thinking of India.

I do think Jordan acted like a twat but it's hard to have a lot of sympathy for Anna when she acts the way she does. I did feel sorry for her, but the fact that she's all 'let me finish' to other people and isn't capable of letting anyone else finish a sentence makes me want to switch off. Which of course I can. She's incapable of holding a conversation if it's not going her way and responds in such an infantile way - comments when she's walking away - 'you're not a man' etc while laughing just makes her look silly. That said, I think she was 100 right to not fall for Curtis's faux apology and Jordon really was a cock.

The asking to be your girlfriend/boyfriend stage baffles me a bit too. If you are sharing a bed, snogging with tongues and "doing bits" with someone for more than a few nights in a row then you are their boyfriend/girlfriend aren't you? What does it actually signify in the context of LI?

Having the boyfriend/girlfriend conversation in LI seems to signify the ultimate commitment and the end of the fame for that couple. I.e. they've found 'the one' in the villa and won't be open to getting to know anyone else. They will stay in a couple till the end.

It's often the boy who asks in some elaborate way, much like a marriage proposal.

Look how she was towards India, she is a really nasty person.

Anna was nice to India in the dressing room the following day. She gave her a hug and said I know it's not your fault. The night of, all the shouting was directed at Jordan.

The 'DD says' posts remind of when Mnetters say 'I asked my DH and he said...' sorry! That's just me.

Maura is getting very irritated by Curtis now. This one event has set off the 'ick' and the things she previously found endearing about him are irking her.

Didn't really like Anna but that doesn't influence my opinion of Jordan for better or worse, which is that he's a fuckboy and a manchild with a high school vibe about him.

The best thing about last night is how NONE of the other men condoned Jordan's actions and ignored his defensive attempts to justify himself. For every shower of shit, there are a few more good ones. Pleased to see him either be verbally questioned or told he couldn't be backed or just ignored as opposed to high-5ed.
