Love Island 26- I can't shag you....I'm too tired 😴

[Dickybow321]

Let's go!

Who will be the next couple to go? Surely there will be a vote after tomorrow nights show?

I think Maura and Curtis will go next. I want Amber and Greg to win.

Adore Ovie but in a couple (Ovia/Indie?!) he has lost his mojo and I've never warmed to Anton and Belle. Actively dislike Curtis (which is a shame as I love Maura) and Tommy and MM peaked too early.

So, I think I'd like Amber (and by default Greg) to win. She has definitely "gone on a journey".

But TBH Chris won it days ago ...

Boring episode.

Wasn’t feelings Greg and Amber at all, there just isn’t a connection, he seems perfectly nice but there’s just nothing there.

Disaster episode for Maur-tis. No shagging, her sulking about the no shagging, her spilling her feelings on the date and getting nothing back. I hope they split at the earliest.

Belle and Anton seem believable and at the right pace.

Tommy/Molly - can’t summon up any excitement as it all fees a bit planned/staged although I’ve liked seeing eg Molly’s friendship with Maura develop.

Ovie/India - LOVE OVIE and India seems nice/a good match. They didn’t go OTT.

Is that everyone? Sigh, my care factors well low for the final.

Cannot stand Curtis now. Urgh.

I can't warm to Amber and Greg. Plus his body...it's like skinny muscly

I still want tommy and MM to win

Christ That episode was not good. Poor Maura. I remember dating a guy who would not have sex. It DESTROYED my self confidence. Turned out he was seeing other women behind my back or maybe me behind their backs. He was under the impression he wasn't cheating unless he slept with people. He obviously didn't fancy me but had all the right lines and persisted in telling me I was the only one he loved despite him having a baby and moving in with another woman during that time!!!

I think Ovie has been consistently nice. For me actions speak louder than words and the way he walked into the Anna and Jordan argument and calmly removed India was the moment I started to find him attractive. Tommy has been nice too.

I don't buy Greg at all and I don't find him particularly attractive. He's a rugby player from a very big rugby county in Ireland so undoubtedly gets loads of attention and special treatment when he is out and about with well known players.

I thought Curtis and Amy slept together or she implied they did and he smirked and said some corny line like a 'gentleman doesn't tell' which implied it too. What a creep.

Maura needs to get rid of Curtis. He's horrible and has a low sex drive? What's the point?

Wouldn’t it be considerably more effort and money to green screen the date than just put them on a bloody yacht??? There are some really far fetched ideas on here about the staged aspects of the show.

Love how Amber called Greg Lush

I know a few 'ladies men' who have become faithful partners. Comes with maturity and meeting the right person.

I think I'm the only one who thinks India should have left herself rather than being 'rescued' by a man

I don't think India could really as it would seem like she was running away from the situation and being a coward. Ovie deflected the attention off her with his calm vibe.

Course she could - no need to stay for the row.

On another note google tells me the green screen theory cropped up for Wes and Meghans boat trip

I imagine India was either frozen to the spot (Anna shouting is so unpleasant and intimidating) or afraid to move in case Jordan turned things around and said India was coming onto him!

I am slightly more sceptical about Amber and Greg tonight - but I just think that was because the dates were all so cringey, boring and staged by the producers. There's nothing natural about those conversations. If I were them I'd much rather just be having a laugh and a chat.

Love Amber. I also love Maura and dont really care about the sex starvation thing - why not. She's more real and honest than most. But why on earth she likes Curtis?! He gives me the creeps. I dont really care about him being gay just that he is so try hard good guy. Phony. I dont mind if Maura wins but not him.

I like Anton even if he's more boring now with Belle. But he is more mature and honest and has been on the right side of good in most of the big rows - with Amber v Michael, Anna v Jordan.

I did love Ovie but actually I think I'd find his company quite boring. He just says the same things and has the same vocal mannerisms. Not much to say. And I have no clue why the boys rate

I dont mind Tommy and Mollie Mae. They are okay. He's a bit dumb and at a loss and laying it on way too think with er about how much he cares. In the end she's way smarter than him. To be fair I dont think any of them will last.

But I think some of the girl's friendships will survive.

I got the impression that Maura and Curtis HAVE been shagging, but that this was one of their first nights in the bedroom together (they were outside on their own for a few nights and then in the hideaway) and so he was put off. Plus he had been called a narcissist the same day so was probably preoccupied with worrying about his public perception (with his added mock concern about all the dumped people). So I think it was just a case of "Not tonight", but I don't think he's genuine in liking her whatsoever. It could just be editing, but he didn't say anything nice about her on the date at all.

My only explanation for Maura seemingly being so into him is that she's Irish, simply not used to the heat, and it's put her head, eyes and fanny all funny. I'm Irish too and I can't cope in the heat either...

I don't get the very quick assertion that Greg is a piece of shit just because he is/was apparently a ladies man. Most young lads, especially the good-looking ones, have a bit of a history. I was a desperate flirt with a very interesting track record back in the day, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't treat the right person well. As long as you aren't filling love interests with BS, I think having an eventful love life is ok.

I got the impression that Maura and Curtis HAVE been shagging

I got the complete opposite impression.

Who says 'when is the night' to somebody they have been shagging? Who says 'I want you' to the person they are practically begging to shag.

Nope they haven't had intercourse yet. Other 'bits' yes but no shagging.

Can't see any of these couples lasting more than a couple of months

Three of the guys are professional athletes- and assuming they continue their sporting careers their lifestyles will simply not be compatible with that of model/influencers who will be wanting to go from party to party every night.

Curtis is quite clearly interested not into women. He is there to get a bigger Strictly role - i imagine a judge role.

Anton and Belle - possibly the most compatible from a lifestyle perspective.

Curtis accent or way of talking should not be taken as an indicator of his sexuality though - he said he was from Stoke on Trent. The stoke accent can come across as quite camp - think Robbie Williams.

Oh yes, really good point about some of the men being athletes.

Once you take people out of the villa and put them in RL situations the cracks will show. A holiday romance is one thing...

Chris won it days ago

Agreed. I think he'll go on to have the best post LI career. I hope so anyway because I loved the boy. First stop, Spectacle
Wear of the year. And Kimono sales will go through the roof!

It will be interesting to see how it plays for Curtis. He has clearly done this to boost his (and Aj's?) platform but I'm yet to meet anyone that doesn't find him awful. That said haven't he and AJ been given lead choreographer jobs on some Strictly or another already?

I think Curtis has a job on Ru Paul’s Drag race lined up. (Seriously!)

Just done some shopping, wanted Amber’s ‘skirt’ but it’s one size...so I thought maybe I will order four and join them together 😹

😂 that made me laugh!

I can't wrap my head around the Maura and Curtis sex/no sex thing.

It's definitely been implied that they'd had sex already, perhaps they did other things but not full sex - but then the way Maura was talking yesterday about just wanting an orgasm seemed as if she'd had nothing. Unless she was doing things for him and he hasn't been returning the favour?

It was just really odd. The whole conversation didn't seem as if it was just one night that he wasn't in the mood.

Such a shame that Tommy didn’t pick Maura all those weeks ago to couple up with.....I just think they would have been such a good match.

The only girl I think Curtis may have really been into was Arabella......but even that’s questionable.

Do we know if the parents are coming on the show?!
