Love Island 15 - Geckos FTW

Seriously though

[quote cathyandclare]Brett looks very chiselled and model-y on his Insta- can't believe he's picked up so much hate online. He's got an identical twin too.

Thanks for that @cathyandclare he’s good looking on his own but the pictures of him with his twin are striking!

Brett's doing a PhD? Surely he needs to couple up with Priya? Both seem to have brains and beauty ... Imagine the babies?!

I don't see Priya going for him as she said Matt was her type, and he and Matt are very different?

Plus there are many many intelligent people who literally could not afford to pay for a PHD level education. All the undergrads I know are maxed out financially as it is.

Looked through Brett's IG. He is a model and like many models he has the chiseled bone structure, striking features that look amazing on the catwalk or in print - but in real life can look a bit strong/odd. I really like Kate Moss' look but was picturing someone like her in LI (at her peak) and she too would probably not be considered a bombshell - because her features aren't as conventional.

But he must have a little something about him to be doing a PhD (assuming his modeling monies pay for it) so am curious to see more of his personality. His eyes seemed a bit cold to me, but that could just be that particular shot. The villa could use some spicing up so I hope he provides it! Though if he fancies Millie, maybe Mary (also a model) could be tempted?

I think Liberty is gorgeous and would kill to have her figure!

Actually I think they’re all gorgeous in different ways but still at the end of the day all gorgeous.

Even Faye who I really dislike is lovely looking when she’s not got all her make up on. I have no issue with make up but her foundation is about 6 shades darker, doesn’t match the rest of her and the brown lipstick is gross

It’s easy to see why the girls in the villa and so many others out in the world need to get surgery or change themselves because because there are so many comments on how they look and what’s wrong with it.

Ooh, it would have been much better if both twins were in there. It added something when they had the other twins.

The programme is about looks and physical attraction to each other on a gameshow. To be fair the 'natural'/perceived natural contestant's looks are not commented on half as much.

I'm only watching now and scrolling through last night's comments....this one

Also, why is Faye wearing cycling shorts?

Because she's attempting to see off a distance runner. Just need someone keen on swimming and we can get a triathlon going.

Next series,women and men with no surgery/ no one below a size 10.
Not botox obv.
Men not allowed to have their chests waxed or brows.
Just good looking people headhunted from the street that are not shallow insta people.

Yeah right would never ever happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I better apply then

No extensions/ minimal makeup.
Again never gonna happen. I mean even if you watch bake off and other shows on tv you do see naturally attractive people that are just what they are. Channel 4 big Brother back in the day had loads of under 30s that were good looking all in their own way.
They just were not trying trying to be perfect. Just had some confidence in their 20s/30s to not care too much.

@Dancingonmoonlight yes it’s a show about physical attraction and looks but not matter what the girls do people see to pull them apart. There is as about 2 pages of saying how horrible priyas naturally slim body is and how she looks prepubescent

And then also loads of attacking the girls with implants and surgery.

@Dancingonmoonlight that doesn’t mean they deserve so much abuse. Who gives a shit if they’ve got implants?! If you put your photo up as your Facebook profile picture, does that give everyone the right to tear into you?

Commenting on their actions is one thing, on their looks/voice etc is not okay. And anyone who does is really pathetic on my opinion. Sadly, despite several of us pointing this out people are STILL doing it.

So I’m definitely off.

Bretts Instagram gives me the same sort of vibes as Millie’s actually, minus all the friend type stuff Millie has on hers

You keep saying that you are going to go but then reappear to tell people how awful they are

As is always on mn, if you don't like a thread then hide it

@ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs

Also disappointed in "bombshell"! More like a Brett-down (I know, I know) Slow loading is driving me crazy! Till tomorrow!

Winner winner!

Yes quite. Essentially women can't win- their natural bodies and appearance is critiqued, as is the case if they have surgery.

So I saw first look yesterday was T&F and I didn't watch that or the show, just watched it now.

I wanted more remorse from Faye. I wanted a statement of "I know I have to work on my issues" etc. I wanted sincerity. Instead we got a load of standard (producer fed?) lines and our Teddy folded like a cheap deckchair. I'm bloody pissed off that they don't make more of this when we all know that behaviour is not ok. She said that she always sabotaged things by being a knob - well why haven't you tried to change? And ffs moaning about making him coffee, she was giving me gollum vibes!!

I'd like to thank whoever posted the link to the 'bracelet' that caused Liberty to get in to such a bloody tizz the other day. I wonder if one of Jake's favourite songs is "my love don't cost a thing"

Don't know why the girls voted Tyler the best in the challenge, I'd have voted Matthew - and full marks to Priya with her on the cheek kisses! When Liberty said about Jake "the dancing was sexy" my scrambled egg made a bolt for it....

Maybe the next twist will be the brother arriving tonight, and if they're really alike misleading the Islanders about which one they're talking to (or snogging?) any given moment?

Massive exaggeration but whatever makes you feel better about justifying bullying strangers online just because they’re on tv

All this! Made me snort my coffee out laughing.

I was so disappointed at how the Faye Teddy situation was minimised with producer intervention. She keeps talking about the fact she acts like a knob, like it's just some genetic condition that just needs to be understood, instead of a personality trait she has full control over. Also once again, like Kaz did, demanding kisses - what is this sense of entitlement over another person's body? That was as sure a sign as any that the apology was not at all sincere.

A lot of her persona seems very contrived from the start. She'd say things like she was happiest with her dogs and no make up on the beach, yet has more surgery/fillers/botox than most of the girls on there - which is very contradictory to being a laidback, outdoorsy person. Even the amount of make up she wears compared to the other girls...Similarly she commented on a point of contention being Teddy shopping designer, whereas she shops at charity stores. Yet her IG is like a catalog from AX Paris, Boo Hoo etc - definitely not charity shop wear. She gets a lot of kudos from fans about 'being real' and actually I don't think she is - I think she knows what gets sympathy/solidarity - and uses that to her advantage.

Ofcom figures have just been released

Faye's shitty conduct led to 24,6763 complaints

I find Brett attractive.
