Love Island 2021 thread 2 - Coupling up number 1 please...

[TitsInAbsentia]

.

Toby would actually suit being called Tony! He seems ok if you think of him being about 16!

Did anyone watch the unseen bits episode from last night? Trying to decide if its worth watching it on catchup at some point today

I watched it, it was nice to see that they do actually have normal conversations as well as the awkward can we have a chat over there ones 🤣

There's an account appeared on TikTok called @secretloveislandgirl and it's a girl who is apparently going into the villa. I didn't believe it when I saw the first video yesterday but there's now another video which makes it seem like it must be genuine (I won't link as potential spoilers). Obviously they aren't normally allowed to post beforehand so I'm wonder whether the producers have a hand in it and are trying to whip up more excitement as it's been a bit flat so far? Having said that the videos don't seem to be getting that many views so far

@Dancingonmoonlight agree with every point!

I'm worried Liberty and jake is going to end like Amy and Curtis.

I’m also a bit taken aback by Faye’s ‘menu’ of is her ideal man and every single item listed has to do with their appearance. Not one thing on her wishlist is about their personality. It is quite sad really but maybe the guys she chooses and who choose her are similar. I hope so as or she will trade them in whenever she is given the chance.

Is LI on Sundays? And is it a normal show or a highlights of the week show?
I think Sat is a different format and I was wondering if Sunday is too?
I am only interested in the weekday type format. Anyone know what Sunday is?

Sunday is same format as week days but they also have Aftersun presented by Laura and celebrity guests for an hour afterwards. They will talk to any evicted islanders also.

Rollergirl11 Thank you. I’m not interested in the spin offs either but will watch the main programme on Sundays now too! Thank you again.

I like what Rachel said to Chuggs at the end of First Look. My thoughts exactly.

See you tonight!

Rachel seems to be having the same foundation issues as Sharon and Faye in that first look - is there something with the lighting I wonder?!

They all wear SO MUCH MAKEUP. I know it’s TV and it’s all about looking good, etc. But seriously, it’s too much. They all look caked. Sharon should stop covering up her freckles - they’re gorgeous.

Rachel's chat with Chuggs looked promising that she will keep him in so fingers crossed, I know it's horrible but I just want to see Brad's face when she doesn't pick him.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!!

Rachel is an absolute stunner. I don't think she will do in LI long term.

LI don't seem to cast men who are into black girls, especially darker skinned black girls, they do their bit for 'inclusivity' by casting beautiful girls like Kaz and Rachel but they never stand a chance as they aren't anyones type. Of the two new boys Chuggs like petite and blond, and Liam tanned and brunette, I think that was pretty much what all the existing boys wanted too. Whenever Kaz has asked the boys the sort of girl they usually go for the response is so vague like Chuggs saying smile and others saying personality, when we have heard them say blond in other conversations. I know (rightly or not) the standard of beauty in the UK is white centric, but I am supposed to believe there were no suitable candidates who like black girls?

There are clearly men out there that fancy black girls so I've no idea how the casting directors can't find them.

I went down an Insta rabbit hole last night and was pleased to see that Michael and Priscilla are still together. They are a beautiful couple.

I'd love to see some more contestants of Asian/East Asian descent.

They should t ask them what’s your type because it just cements the idea that they have to go for a certain hair colour or height or whatever rather than getting to know everyone. I’ve always found the idea of a type a bit weird, I find all different types of people attractive.

@Zampa I’ve literally just seen this article!

Yes I noticed that about the guys. When asked by kaz they are like “err personality” but I’ve seen them telling others that like blondes etc. Which is what most of them seem to like, they could at least bring some guys in that find black women attractive as it’s clear that none of the ones they bring in do. They all seem to like “petite blondes” mainly

That's a shame about Mike and Priscilla but at least it sounds like an amicable split.

I agree there is no point putting girls like kaz and Rachel in if there are no potential suitors for them. It get its hard to portray a fair representation of the dating pool when you have limited spaces but just, try fucking harder!

Oh FFS. I was in the minority of people on the Winter thread who liked Mike. Thought they were lovely together ... 😭

I really hope Rachel chooses Cheggs, and I hope we see the decision tonight.

That face that Brad pulls when she walked in, what was that all about?
