@WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa

Maura is apparently seeing Giovanni from Strictly.
I heard this too - love Maura and love Giovanni! What a beautiful couple! Hope it's true!
Zampa · 01/07/2021 14:37

[quote ItStartedWithAKiss241]@Zampa Yes they split up, Maura has been staying with Molly Mae and Tommy.[/quote]
Shame ...

Molly Mae lives near me. I might go and hang out in the park opposite and see if I can spot them!

Re Liberty’s clothing, I thought they didn’t get much choice in what they wear. That’s why they all dress like that.

Which is a massive shame. You can tell on series 1-3 they brought their own wardrobe (in the main) and they had their own distinct sense of style.

Now they're all dressed in boohoo and look the same

DavidTheDog · 01/07/2021 16:29

It'd be interesting if they had a lot more choice at least.

It must be horrible in those bikinis and heels all day. (But that's probably my age talking!).

I definitely don't think the guys have more about them than the Women Hmm

DavidTheDog · 01/07/2021 17:13

Has anyone read Camilla’s book? It’s bloody great.

Snogging in today’s First Look 👀

PumpkinKlNG · 01/07/2021 17:53

I don’t think them two will last long tbh but we will see! I think he will have his head turned easily

Frazzledazzles · 01/07/2021 18:05

@DavidTheDog - that must be why they are all wearing cheap looking nightwear this year then. Kaz had a awful pink ensemble on the other night and some of the others were wearing scratchy looking things.

A few seasons ago I’m sure I remember the girls sleeping in big t-shirts and things - or maybe I’m remembering it wrongly!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 01/07/2021 18:09

The whole show is product placement, including the make up, hair styling equipment, sun cream, what they eat and drink. I'd love to see them not using wipes to get make up off - it would encourage the younger generation to follow suit.

Rollergirl11 · 01/07/2021 18:16

@Chicchicchicchiclana with you on them using wipes to take off all that heavy duty make-up. It’s grim. I can’t begin to imagine how many they get through!

roarfeckingroarr · 01/07/2021 19:18

Liberty looks SO much nicer make up free. Faye does too. I wish these women would see it.

DavidTheDog · 01/07/2021 19:45

Love Island Instagram have a post about Being Kind and how they'll be supporting participants and their families and reporting unkind comments etc. after last night's episode.

They have themselves in a bind really. The premise of Love Island appeals to the worse in us. It's the drama and conflict and gossip that gets the audience. That's why they had the unkind dare about snogging the person you least like, that's why they had the unkind dumping of Shannon (or was it Sharon?). That's why they edited Chloe, Brad and Faye the way they did. It's disingenuous to then go all #BeKind and scolding viewers in my opinion.

Has anyone read Ben Elton's Identity Crisis? Pretty good portrayal of Love Island in that (and Mumsnet of course).

From First Look I think Liberty needs a bit more game.

What does that mean I'm not very good with the lingo Grin

I hope she ditches Jake for someone else, he seems to be a bit too cocky and will probably have his head turned at the earliest opportunity

Bonjourfern · 01/07/2021 20:32

@Frazzledazzles

On a completely different note, my DH and I do not like Jake at all and have decided he is likely to be a narcissist!

Did you see how annoyed he got when Liberty jokingly described him as “goofy”? His face actually turned, just for a second. The same thing happened when she said he was serious, and he was most annoyed of all when she asked him “Are you big spoon or little spoon?”. He seemed seriously pissed off as he refuted the idea that he could be “little spoon”, even bringing it up later to the other men when they were talking in the bedroom!

If he is like that on camera I can only imagine what he might be like behind closed doors - a real “walking on eggshells” risk. I feel uneasy when I see him with Liberty as she is so open and happy, and she had to backtrack on those occasions when he got annoyed.

Yes I noticed that too. Takes himself too seriously. He was raging at the 'goofy' comment. He clearly didn't get that Liberty was trying to compliment him. I think he's probably got quite a nasty streak in him. And the big spoon little spoon thing was possibly short man syndrome I imagine.
Frazzledazzles · 01/07/2021 20:43

@Bonjourfern - My DH also said it was little man syndrome 😂 after I couldn’t figure out why he was so annoyed, especially as she was clearly flirting with him not trying to insult him . He couldn’t bear the idea that he might be seen as “little” in any way I suppose Confused

DavidTheDog · 01/07/2021 20:52

I think she's wearing her heart on her sleeve. It's a difficult balance. You've got to keep him keen enough to stick by you, whilst also keeping him on his toes so he doesn't take you for granted.

It'd be interesting to analyse the islanders by how much they are the agent of their own fortune vs sheer bad luck (such as Shannon last night).

TitsInAbsentia · 01/07/2021 20:54

I thought Jake was just dim rather than being offended/nasty, but I guess time will tell.

Hope things start to pick up tonight, haven't watched first look incase it gives me the only interesting bits from tonight! Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 01/07/2021 21:04

Bloody hell! Stop with all the hair touching and flicking Chloe!!!!

LarsErickssong · 01/07/2021 21:05

Why can't Chloe stop touching her hair?!?

DavidTheDog · 01/07/2021 21:05

These girls can't stop touching their hair.
