It was awful when Danny was doing the impression of Lucinda, not trying to be funny but just nasty. Lucinda does appear vacuous but also young, out of her depth and definitely not accustomed to rejection.

TheTallOakTrees · 20/07/2021 09:51

@Twitchynose

I agree.

"Really got to wonder about the casting this year, do they not do any sort of psychological screening? Considering all the be kind and suicide of previous cast members, surely they must assess them?"
Agree:
Faye has massive MASSIVE insecurities. she has zero confidence., Rachel also seemed to struggle.
Yep - Danny is being set up to be ripped apart when he leaves (he may or may not be deserving of this).
Agree - Lucinda is only in there for the deals she can get out of it afterwards. I’m sure that’s why she’s playing the guys like she is, to raise her profile. Equally, that’s the only reason Danny is in there, the fact that on his first dates he was plugging his clothing brand demonstrated that perfectly.
I don't think “Jiberty” is true love, I think one is more into it that the other who realises on the way to the final and potential win.

@Willwebebuyingnumber11

I know someone who knows of Danny irl and he is aggressive & controlling apparently.

My faves are Liam & Millie and Teddy & Faye. I knew Liam and Millie would be popular so went for teddy and Faye.

I did this a couple of seasons ago and my favs were near the bottom because lots of people might do this. So I tend to vote for who I like most or who I want to see more of.

I've seen enough of Faye and Teddy and want to see more of the new people to see how they develop.

Lucinda has just the right age/looks/style to be the successful Mollie-mae type ‘influencer’ after leaving, popular with all the teen girls etc BUT she just really lacks the personality.

Mollie-Mae was a year younger when she went into the villa but came across 100 times more mature.

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 20/07/2021 10:22

This is true. I didn't realise MM was younger.

PumpkinKlNG · 20/07/2021 10:27

I didn’t realise she was younger either, wow Lucinda is really immature then, I wonder if it is a bit of an act, not saying she’s a secret genius but I just wonder if she’s putting it on just a bit more

MotherofKitties · 20/07/2021 10:29

This.

Lucinda is a truly beautiful girl but she comes across as vacuous with no original thoughts or 'banter'. And personality really is everything. Look at Chris and Ovie.

190190tnt · 20/07/2021 10:33

Liberty hardly seems to be on it, feel i know less about her out of all the girls. Danny seems unable to laugh at himself, I wonder how he would have reacted if he'd been in Hugo's position and not been picked by anyone in the game a few episodes back?

PumpkinKlNG · 20/07/2021 10:34

I didn’t vote as I don’t have the app thing but I would like to see chloe or Lucinda go and probably Toby, I’m surprised chloe is so popular on here, I can’t stand her and just read something from someone she use to bully at school apparently, I don’t think she comes across as a nice person at all.

mayjuneapril · 20/07/2021 10:40

How long until case amor do we reckon?

I’ve only seen 2 previous series (2018 and 2019) but in both of those there was one ‘strong’ couple where one stayed single but the other chose to recouple and both times it was left until last for maximum drama. Has this been the case with every series and therefore pretty much inevitable that we will see it this time? I’d imagine it would be a bit boring if all the established couples stayed coupled up but what if that’s what they all genuinely wanted?

I think 'truly beautiful' is pushing it a bit. Shock

Cute, but not truly beautiful, and she would be better (like several of the others,) without the God-awful lip fillers.

This. ^ I am shocked to hear this. Tbh Lucinda acts and seems like she is about 14. And omg her VOICE is so annoying. Angry
Rollergirl11 · 20/07/2021 11:10

Yep there is nothing to Lucinda other than her face. My 15 yr old DD acts more maturely than her and she literally cringes watching her.

I 100% agree with the person who said they have lost some respect for Aaron for being so in to Lucinda. He’s a smart and cool guy. What can he possibly see in her other than the way she looks? I expected more from him.

Dancingonmoonlight · 20/07/2021 11:19

DH (fwiw) thinks Lucinda is very pretty but has zero sex appeal. He thinks Chloe is the only one who is ‘sexy’.
I think Lucinda is the prettiest in there but Millie is overall the one with the full package.

The men - only Brad was really good looking tbh.

But we are both in our forties so not the target market for whatever they will be trying to flog!!!

vjg13 · 20/07/2021 11:27

Also way out of the target demographic but I find Teddy the most attractive out of the lads as he has a certain charm.

Chris and Ovie were smoking hot and had personality. Maura falls into this category too.

Where are these people this series?!

Rollergirl11 · 20/07/2021 11:43

DD is currently re-watching this series. Maura was just an absolute gem, she’s soo fucking funny!

Remember that Ovie didn’t come in until Casa Amore and Chris was even later then that so I guess there’s still time for characters like those guys to materialise. Here’s hoping anyway!

Tell your DH to go to specsavers.

Also agree BRAD is the only one who was gorgeous. Aaron is pretty hot though, and was OVIE from Love Island 2019. (As someone said further back...) I mean... Hellllooooo. Look at that vision of beauty there ^ Grin

I wonder how genuine the vote counting is, in the end of the day we don't get detailed results and I do wonder if results are changed to fit the producers' narrative, so now it's more of a question of who they want to get rid of.

Oh it’s absolutely always the producer’s decision. Maura Higgins proved that beyond any doubt. Sometimes they throw a curveball in to upset the apple cart.
They edit carefully too to highlight who they want to stay/go. The public only know what the producers choose to show us.

They have to take charge too to get people out who aren’t suitable.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 20/07/2021 11:49

Danny caught on to the truth about Lucinda pretty quickly and didn't fancy flogging a dead horse. She never actually told him "sorry, I'm not interested and I can't see anything developing" she kept flirting with him at every opportunity until he called it a day. Fair play to him. She thought she was being so clever in the game, sigh.

She HAS to go! I've got everything crossed for the public vote.

I hope Lucinda does go. She does my head in.

@ArsenicNLace

“That was petty much my thoughts. He just wants a possession that fits in with an image. Successful man, flash car with a pretty blonde in it. It doesn't matter that the blonde is totally vacuous and superficial, has no intelligence or conversation but that's fine as long as she looks the part.

I thought it even stranger as when he was mimicking her it was clear he could see she has no substance but he'd rather have that than some one he can actually have a meaningful relationship with. In fact didn't he say that his last relationship ended because he went purely for looks and there was nothing more so he clearly doesn't learn.

Aaron really went down in my estimation when he went for for her. He is an intelligent bloke and I couldn't see what could attract him to her apart from superficial looks. After the novelty wore off he'd be bored stiff in a few weeks!.”

I agree with you, but it’s not just Danny sadly, it seems to be all the boys who want a slim, pretty blonde. They all pretend they’re happy until someone prettier, blonder and slimmer comes in.

Here’s hoping they’ve just picked a bad bunch of guys this year and that all normal guys aren’t this shallow.

I know people say that boys think with they’re ’s, but I’d always thought that the nice ones liked a girl with more substance, but this lot are proving me wrong!

PumpkinKlNG · 20/07/2021 12:03

Ohh ovie please bring him back. 😂 not really I think he’s too good for this lot but wouldn’t mind seeing him on there again 😍

JackGrealishIsMyNewManCrush · 20/07/2021 12:04

I am also struggling with HUGO and A.J. It's literally Doctor Alex, and Alexandra part 2. Dorky boy can't get a girl, and is pushed away by them all, and everyone feels sorry for him.

Then after 3 weeks or so, a girl walks in who is conveniently really attracted to this 'lad' and he's like 'hmmm I am not so sure about her.... I mean, she all right but she's a bit forward, I like her but I am not crazy about her. The chemistry isn't there blah blah blah...'

The Hugo and A.J. saga feels staged to me.
