Erm no they can say kaz is pretty or stunning without mentioning her race, talking about her energy is code for “you are nice but I don’t fancy you”

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 27/07/2021 11:29

I wonder if it's part of the same well-meant othering that there was an MN thread on some time ago about 'why do (white, presumably) people talk about white women but black/ Asian 'ladies'?'

I've never come across this

Bluntness100 · 27/07/2021 11:37

I don’t think Liam will stray, he will play the game, flirt a bit, but go back to Millie.

They all know how it’s perceived to do the dirty on someone, so I reckon the only idiot is Toby who will move onto his fourth girl. Potentially teddy but that’s harder to predict.

Monsteraobliqua · 27/07/2021 11:43

I've noticed they tend to go in first talking about her 'energy'/ smiliness etc then will quickly say 'plus she's stunning' at the end, rather than nothing at all. Her physicality is just way down the list compared to say, Jake, where his main comment will be about someone's blonde hair.

Monsteraobliqua · 27/07/2021 11:46

Trying to find the thread as it was interesting but I can't remember the title and it's not coming up with any of my searches.

meido · 27/07/2021 11:53

I really hope Jake strays, only because Liberty can do so much better and because has everyone forgotten how he said he wasn’t all that into her in the beginning?

Also hope Teddy strays as Faye is fake and not coming across as a nice person so again, think he can do better.

Toby will have strayed within the first 24 hours but hopefully so will Abigail.

We are really, really worried about Liam in this household!!! Don’t do it!!!

Monsteraobliqua · 27/07/2021 11:54

Liberty and Jack, the racing driver! He seems like a gent and would appreciate her kindness and intelligence rather than just her feet!

meido · 27/07/2021 11:55

@spookycookies

They do a headlines challenge too. Similar principle but instead of twitters it's what the papers have been saying.

I thought they weren’t allowed to do the Twitter/headline challenge anymore, for the same reason they don’t have loads of booze.

Am I allowed to say it’s a shame really?!

MizMoonshine · 27/07/2021 12:09

I think the Kaz having good energy is literally just that. She does and it's coming through the screen. She's so positive and hypes everyone up. I'd love to hang out with her and she is my favourite girl 100%.
She also has the best arse in the villa.

Toomuchtooyoung01 · 27/07/2021 12:10

Also did anyone else clock on to how Jake was egging everyone on, blatantly because he sees them as competition and it makes him look better to be the good guy who was loyal, even though it’s obvious to everyone watching he is not into Liberty at all. He’s got his eye on the prize money, stay with her for a couple of interviews and then he’ll be off while milking all the Instagram sponsored posts he can get.

Toomuchtooyoung01 · 27/07/2021 12:12

Agree with others who have said Liam just lost the show for him and Millie with his sleazy antics last night, am sure they would have won it otherwise. And honestly Millie is so much prettier than Lillie!

sarah13xx · 27/07/2021 12:14

@AngeloMysterioso they also used to do a challenge on the first night where it was a competition between the two villas and it would be things like the ‘oldest guy and youngest girl have to kiss’ and things. It meant the people in the other villa could work out whether their partner was kissing other people. I noticed they just left them to it last night so that’s probably for similar reasons! I do think they might still send a text with a picture or a postcard

CoolKitkat · 27/07/2021 12:22

I thought Liam had to do the challenges though, not that he necessarily wanted to?

Whereas perhaps Jake was allowed to avoid any snogs because he's put a 'label' on their relationship.

Either way, it was cringe ... they may as well have played Spin the Bottle, rather than Truth or Dare, as it was just an excuse for a snog-fest.

A lot of it seems over-processed with directions from the producers, I'm not entirely sure what's real and what isn't. Wish it was more organic like the earlier series.

you mean the shrieking and screaming right 😳

I said exactly this.. he literally put every one of their relationships down as nothing, and placed himself way streets above because he has a girlfriend..

and none of them called him out on it.. wee knob 😳

PumpkinKlNG · 27/07/2021 12:34

Yes she has a good energy but they don’t find her physically attractive that’s the point, and no I don’t think it’s because the guys who say it are less into looks as they are quick to say who they think is hot sexy stunning etc then say “oh and I like kaz cos of her energy” In other words she’s nice but I don’t fancy her, that’s how it was picked up

PumpkinKlNG · 27/07/2021 12:35

None of them have to do the challenges, mind you they get rid of you if you don’t Shannon

poor Shannon 😩

PumpkinKlNG · 27/07/2021 12:50

So many thought she would turn up in casa amor, I kind of did as well. That was really harsh throwing her out like that

Ughmaybenot · 27/07/2021 12:54

Exactly! She wasn’t given even the slightest of chances.

Maybe jake knew that if he put a label on his relationship, he wouldn’t be made to take part in the challenge? Thus hanging onto his and liberty’s popularity and sticking to the together from day one winners course.
I mean, it’s entirely possible no one fancied the weird little creep and that’s why there was no kissing but still.

PumpkinKlNG · 27/07/2021 12:55

Tbh I’m sure I was watching the girls and one of them said she was going in for Jake and he was just her type, I could have imagined it though. 😂

PumpkinKlNG · 27/07/2021 12:58

Yes Lillie said it, she said Jake is 100% her type on the outside world and her best feature is her feet. It’s on the “meet the girls” on the love island app.

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 27/07/2021 13:00

The girl with the Lego hair didn’t get any kisses either did she?

I reckon Hugo will take Amy back.

Mary is very broad shouldered I noticed last night, I wonder if she swims? I think Toby will stray, Teddy & Liam will stick.
Abi will go for the tattooed guy. Chloe will go with the Irish guy.

They might have if they didn't need to isolate contestants for two weeks first.

I imagine she didn't know they'd made it official when she said that and it wouldn't play well with the public to split up a proper couple.
