Love Island Winter Edition

[isitjustmine]

Not sure if there is already a thread for the new series! Not long to go now

Who's watching?

Those twins are like 'Sweet Valley High: the webcam years'.

STOP TOUCHING YOUR HAIR.

And yes, SHONice is a prick. Nas is lovely. It's not his fault her parents gave her a noise for a name.

Shoneeese is going to be very very stressed when she gets out the villa and no fucker can pronounce her name! She over reacted there, I think Nas was probably trying to save face by saying mixed signals rather than reporting that she was 100% not interested in him. It was a sales tactic to make himself look a bit more in demand! Being charitable to Sionnaise she didn't want to get labelled a tease I suppose. But it did come across quite mean. She is pretty, reminds me a bit of Kendall Jenner but she is very angular, I'm not sure the hairstyle she currently has is the most flattering.

Thr thing we need to remember is it's only been three days, so these people are strangers to one another, living in a new environment, being filmed 24/7. They are still not relaxed, being themselves, used to the cameras etc, so it's all a bit unatural.

As the days go on they will be more themselves. Right now it's all a bit stilted, as in " I'm on the telly me, so better watch how I behave"....

@StreetwiseHercules not sure why you've picked my comment out of all the others who disagreed with what Sophie did. But it didn't come across as a joke at all. Is Connor not allowed to be sensitive because he's a man?

Only on ep 2 and I cannot stand the twins.

They constantly run their fingers through their horrible hair extensions 🤮 and constantly rub their tongue across the front of their teeth AHHHH

I think Shon-neece would look better with a slightly skinnier eyebrow weirdly. She's very pretty but her eyebrows seem too big for her face to me (although on the plus side they look nice and natural ish)
I don't take to her really.
I like Shaughna, Paige and Leanne. Can't abide the the twins. Not seen enough of Sophie (and can't understand what she's saying really).

Has anyone seen today’s first look? Connor aggressively telling Leanne to ‘Fuck off’ for asking Sophie if she was excited while getting ready for her date.

It doesn’t even look as if he likes Sophie, it’s all an internal ego issue.

Haven't seen first look - but Connor looks like he'd lose it. He was so red faced talking to her last night. Man / woman, getting that level of upset within 3 days is really fucking worrying.

To PP saying Leanne's a bit boring - I get the feeling she's quite shy and Mike's gone full on. Could be wrong, but she's the only one I really like so far!!!! 😂

Just caught up with last night's.

I always find LI interesting - their promo photos before they meet are all oozing confidence and they all look flawless etc.
Then they appear on screen and meet each other. Again, confident and strutty.
Then, after a day or two, they're all anxious and insecure and nervous about what the others think, and upset if their partner doesnt fancy them back.

And the guys always always always fancy people like the twins - all glamorous and outwardly sexy and pouty - but they soon realise (in many cases) that they now have to weigh up whether they'd prefer someone who is on their wavelength and really pretty; or someone who is "tick-box" to look at, but who has no fun or sense or humour at all.

And why do guys love twins so much? It's not like they're going to actually have a threesome with them.

And if I were in there, it'd be Nas for me. I think he's really handsome

I just read a quick article - the new boy is CONNAGH, apparently

Why oh would you call your kid Conor/Connor and then spell it fucking 'Connagh'?

He's Anthony Joshua's brother apparently.

@ILoveYou3000 aaaaargh, why can't they just have "people" on this programme any more? We don't want people who are on because they have famous family connections :(

Connagh’s claim to fame? ‘I was in an advert with Anthony Joshua. I’m a big boxing fan. I was really excited to meet him. In the ad we are both training. It was pretty nerve-wracking, he’s a big boy!

He's not his brother.

I thought he had just appeared in an advert with Anthony Joshua? I don't think they're related.

Connagh?? Thats a new one 🤣

I think Sophie is just tryung to get a reaction. All the silly laughing like she doesn't know what she is doing. I don't think Conners reaction was ideal, it was a bit full on but if he had reacted to new girls like that i bet Sophie would have been pissed off too.

I find Sophie really hard to understand, wish they would put subtitles up.

Connagh is the Irish spelling of Connor

I thought he had just appeared in an advert with Anthony Joshua? I don't think they're related.

I should know by now not to believe everything I read 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@ILoveYou3000 😂😂😂

Connagh is the Irish spelling of Connor

No its not.

No it's one of those made up names which make me cringe.

It's absolutely awful.

@CallofDoodee chill out
Just saying what i was told myself.....

Why do I need to 'chill out'?

I said.... 'No its not'.

Anyway, whoever it was who told you that's the Irish spelling was talking shit 😂
