Love Island 16 - Teddy is sexy, Jake bombs

[AngeloMysterioso]

As you were

Accurate.

5’11?! Okay Jake 😂 I think it genuinely just makes an issue when a bloke lies about his height, like they expect people to just… accept it, despite physical evidence being literally right in front of them?? Not a good trait…

For what its worth I think Brett wonders at himself too. And I havent warmed to him either. Its def not a male female thing for me.
The 'shocker' really epitomised it for me.
Im not denying she is intelligent at all but I come from a culture where modedty is valued, in both sexes, so racing straight up there and acting superior was cringe to me. Im not saying they shouldn't be top spot but at least allow some discussion or the chance for others to.suggest it.

Also i firmly believe intelligence and academic achievement while certainly linked are not exactly the same thing. There are lots of peope i know who are extremely intelligent but for whatever reason, lack of opportunity, family circumstance etc didnt progress academically. Also degrees are so plentiful and common now that i know lots of people with one who definitely arent all that intelligent on any level.
Im not saying she isnt a nice or good person. We only see edited snippets chosen by editors after careful consideration of the image they want to portray. And sometimes i forget just how young these people are. I have 20 years on them and know I have matured a lot in that time.
Still cant help.but feel she is arrogant even if it is in a naive way. I haven't seen as much of Brett yet to know what i think but he is definitely not my 'type' either

@LimitIsUp

It's probably been mentioned before, but fishiest of all is that Jake bought girlfriend and boyfriend matching bracelets to take with him into Love Island - who does that? That looks like a calculated game plan

Exactly. Millie and previous islanders have said things like 'I didn't expect to find someone I felt this way about' etc. and are surprised about their luck in the villa. Jake came in armed with matching bracelets.

Maybe he's an optimist or maybe he was ready to force things a little bit to stay in and have a shot at the prize / post villa work

Is he really 5 11'? I know there are some really tall islanders this year but I would have said he was 5 8ish.

@Mookie81

At the most he's 5ft 6 and I'm being very generous. He's literally a gnome .

That would make him at least 5ft 11 if OLD

Still confused about the Jake hate. It's been edited to make him look bad. He may have not been reassuring enough with his compliments and then a bit weird suggesting she doesn't run over to Kaz but has he done anything that bad really? Have seen no flirting with other girls. His chat with Mary was about Aaron. I think he's just not that good at expressing his feelings or maybe he is still working out how he feels. So many have done so much worse in terms of treating others badly (Liam, Kaz, Faye) but that seems to be accepted.

@Smallfry79 I agree. Priya might just be more motivated and had more encouragement than the others academically. She should be smart enough to know that others won't like to be told they aren't as smart as her.

I wonder why so many people feel insulted by Priya having a laugh.. that they need to write screeds putting her 'in her place' ...

yet zero has been posted about Brett making similar if not identical jokes ...

very telling 😏

@AngeloMysterioso

I don't think you should ever pressure someone to say "I love you", and after just six weeks it's ridiculous.

That is true. And if Jake had had the bollocks to tell Liberty “Look, I really do care about you and have strong feelings for you, but it’s only been 6 weeks and I’m just not ready to say those words yet” then I’d have had a bit more respect for him (not hard, when right now I have no respect for him at all).

But instead he dropped the L bomb even though he clearly doesn’t mean it, which just proves that he’s happy to throw whatever bullshit her way that he thinks will keep her sweet.

Exactly! If it was really too soon, why didn't he stick to that?! He folded when he realised he's caught out. If it was such a big deal to him he should've just asserted it's too early

He was panicking and said what she'd want to hear. If he can say it up there, he could've said it at any other point. Saying I love you in the middle of a confrontation is hardly a special moment, if it meant that much to him he could've waited for another time

Exactly, it reminds me of the whole nation hating Nasty Nick for writing a few notes 😂😂😂

@Blamelesscars

Toby is like a hilarious little kid! The way he ran away from the bed

Just a guess but I feel he had ...er been interrupted at a crucial point so had to go and deal with that 🤣.

I reckon Jake is 5ft 6 which isn't really teeny tiny but it must make it harder for him to find women who'll go out with him in real life. Unfair but true.

You’re my gurrrrrrlfriend you’re part of meeee AKA you’re my property, I’ll do what I want with you. Vile foot fetish freak.

Poor lib, she started off so strong with her 3 point question attack, he was shitting and had to revert to the L bomb, with her full name, to pull it back. He’ll be fuming about that as no doubt he’ll have had an elaborate I love you night planned for a few days before the final. Good on the girls siting her down and giving their opinion. Hope she listens.

For me it’s Toby and Chloe for the win, they’re hilarious and seem really into each other. Miliam are too but i can’t recommend him for the win after Casa, that’s just a step too far.

You're so right. Its sad and concerning to see other women berate another woman for saying she's intelligent. Our daughters have no hope of achieving equality with this attitude.

*equality in the workplace.

Anyone else see David Brent here? You know when he dances around the office .

I disagree... I'd feel the same if she'd said "shocker" about any quality that's not factual (as in, you can't argue with who's tallest for example).

@KarenofSparta 😂 stop!!

Absolutely agree.

Vom!! Look at his face, he's like "I'm fucking magnificent I am!"

Oh no, I'd forgotten about Jake's foot fetish Bleugh and all his getting others to suck toes in Casa Amor

Oh I'm sure he'll be fuming that he had to drop the L bomb now as he would definitely have had a plan to do it on the final date in the hop of securing extra public votes. He has definitely had this planned out from the start, it was just luck (for him, not for her!) that he found someone who has been happy to stick with him this far.

I think Liberty could walk away from this all, on her own, and still come out a winner in terms of work/collaborations after the island.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

@TitsInAbsentia

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

🙏🏻😂😂😂

Oh yes PLT, isawitfitst etc will all be queueing up for queen Lib

and all his getting others to suck toes in Casa Amor

I'm not a Jake fan but seriously nobody 'can get others' to do anything they aren't willing to do. I don't think he's the villain he's been made out to be. He isn't as into Liberty as she is into him. He stuck by her because she's a safe bet. Thats playing the game. The production team are playing with the viewers trying to stir things up and people are falling into their trap.
