Love Island 2021 Thread 1

Coming Monday 28 June.

Just reading this about the improved support contestants will be receiving - counselling sessions and social media support. Love Island: ITV announces new contestant welfare measures

It’s bloody annoying that yet again it was the guys taking their pick of the women. They used to alternate but it’s been men’s choice for the last few years now.

It’s always been the men picking hasn’t it?

Aaron is the fittest guy but he doesn’t have the charisma of Ovie.

Ovie was another level of hotness.

If they made a show of Ovie, just looking hot in a villa, on his own, for two months, I would watch it.

Hugo 100% picked to be this year's Dr Alex. I am positive the producers/casters will have actively discussed this.

Faye early signs of being this years Olivia Atwood/Maura type

Token additions as always(I say this being mixed race myself), either a Scottish or Irish girl seems at the start seems to be becoming a thing too.

A very by the book cast so far this year.

I will give them credit it seems there are more people in there with real jobs this time rather than already being one (or more) of model/influencer/'student'

'Ovie was another level of hotness.'

Just so nice, respectful and normal too. I'm old enough to be their dm but I'd rather have an ovie or a Hugo brought home any day than a Brad or a Jake.

Jake reminds me of 2019's tight trouser wearing Anton.

God, I have two daughters and of either of them brought home any of those Love Island twats I’d be beside myself.

Unless it was Dr Alex or Ovie.

'Unless it was Dr Alex or Ovie'

Or Jamie! Jamie and Camilla will forever be my favourite couple.

No they used to switch, so one year guys, next year girls. Don’t know why they stopped doing it that way.

Ahh Jamie was gorgeous!!! A friend of mine worked with him at A&F, I met him at a bday party one year and he was just beautiful. He’s got a bit of a dad bod these days but I still would I was so happy when he got with Camilla, she was my favourite.

There's a first look video on the app (and I assume social media but not had a look)

Not too sure about this new Chloe one going in. She seems, in my expert opinion, to be a bit of a knob 😂

I didn’t know when I posted but someone up thread helpfully posted a link to an article about it.

Ovie on his own, wearing his hats dancing, cooking eggs, eating tiptops and shouting "Message!" would be a month of wonder.

I'm here for the Jamie and Camilla love. He may have a bit of a dad bod these days but have you seen him with their baby 🥺🥰 He is so completely besotted, he melts me. Plus he's still bloody beautiful.

Me too. How she found herself on LI is a mystery.

I've just ordered her book.

I felt uncomfortable when Sharon was whispering about Hugo while he took their empties away and was refilling their glasses.
I wasn’t keen on his reel but once he was in there grew on me a lot in there.

Faye will at least provide some entertainment! Don’t think she’s done anything wrong yet but I saw somewhere she likes married men so probably why she’s getting stick online

So who are the likely bisexuals this year?

They are my favourite couple too

Camilla showed that you can be kind and don't have to be outrageous to be liked on this show. And, well, Jamie...... I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating biscuits

I think Sharon or maybe Fay the bisexuals. Not sure any of the boys but who knows.

I liked Camilla and Jamie as a couple but didn’t massively love her when she was single. There was a real opportunity for her to be more of a role model than she was and I think she let herself down with the poor me/I need a man stuff, although saying that it is LI we are talking about

The Geordie... Brad. I’m cringing at his accent/how slang he talks. Please don’t think it’s representative 😬

He looks nice but as soon as he opens his mouth - no way. Toe curl city!

I have to disagree. She didn't 'need' a man, other than to stay in of course. She turned down one and was 'hurt' by another before Jamie came along and she truly connected with him. She didn't just settle or compromise her own integrity just to be with coupled up with someone. I think she's amazing.
