@Scrunchy95

I was astonished by Priya's comments on if you look at earth from Mars though binoculars you would see dinosaurs!!!! This is unbelievably stupid. When Mars is very close to Earth, we are seeing it as it was about three minutes ago, but at other times light takes more than 20 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth. She delivered it with such patronising confidence. Well done Faye for calling it out as BS

Boris! I have no words

Intelligence doesn't always mean common sense sadly.

@Scrunchy95

Liberty and Teddy to win! Oh, sh*t, not an option.
It could be, if Faye gets evicted for her conduct (looks unlikely right now though) or because there's a last ditch asymmetric removal of least popular of each sex, plus new arrivals.

But I dint really see the second scenario happening as it's too late in the season.

The first scenario is long overdue, and for that reason I think that unfortunately it's not likely to happen

I'd like to see Faye gone, Priya with Teddy, Brett comforting Liberty, Jake telling Mary he's fancied her since he first set eyes on her.

Catching up on unseen bits. Chloe and Toby are so funny together.

@Chicchicchicchiclana

I'm heartened to see that several of us on here are seeing through the manipulation of the Jake and Liberty story by the producers. As a couple they have been thrown to the wolves and I doubt they will survive. In particular I hate the way the other contestants have spotted their weakness and they are circling like vultures now.

I suppose I hope Chloe and Toby win but I don't like what has been done to Liberty and, yes, even Jake in the name of entertainment.

If Faye and Teddy win I'll have to send a letter of protest somewhere!

Agree that the producers are now hugely exploiting a perceived crack, purely to create drama. Yes Jake is a bit of a nob, BUT he had the opportunity to crack on in Casa amor and he didn’t even get close once. So whilst there may be a slight imbalance of feelings in their relationship (which is common!) I think I’d take that over a bloke who is so into me that he is snogging other women, and sleeping in a bed with them, as soon as I’m not there. I mean actions speak louder than words, urghhhhh that was so grim, disrespectful and dismissive, yet those blokes were let completely off the hook almost immediately, by the women they were with, and pretty much everyone else, whereas Jake, who was 100% loyal babes, is the true villain, and as you say, vultures now circling to break them up… for why? It seems extremely extremely cynical.

Yeah, she said it with such confidence! Hmm She's convinced everyone she's a genius so I guess she can tell them anything Confused

@Areyouseriousrightnow @Chicchicchicchiclana
Just because Jake didn't crack on with other girls in CA, doesn't mean he gets let off the hook for his behaviour.

In my opinion it's much worse to be using Liberty to "play the LI game" and taking advantage of her feelings than Liam misbehaving on a "lads holiday" when he & Millie hadn't had any conversation about being exclusive yet.

Areyouseriousrightnow · 15/08/2021 12:04

I think at his age, if he wasn’t into Liberty, he wouldn’t have been able to help himself in the villa. Even saintly Teddy made it clear he was feeling tempted. They didn’t even have footage of Jake saying ‘if I wasn’t involved with Liberty…’
Whereas Liam, Toby, Tyler, all got involved almost immediately with the new girls.
I don’t think Jake is perfect, but I do now think the show is now completely demonising him; and I say that as someone who has previously criticised his behaviour.

@Mummyoflittledragon I've watched the Australian and the US love Island versions and they're both so much better! Less scripted, less plastic surgery and the people just seem more real rather than Instagram models after PLT/In the style deals.

me too... yes I agree .. so much more fun too 🌸

putthebinsout · 15/08/2021 12:15

But none of the girls have shown an interest in Jake. He's never been tested. No ones come in saying they fancy him, he's never been invited on a date... I don't think it's been his will power or dedication to Liberty that's kept him on the straight and narrow

one of the girls in Casa did.. was it Mary ? I can't recall

This is true. If he could pull Millie, he'd have deffo tried. IMO, he's the least attractive in there, and I'm not just basing this just on looks.

the preview prior to them actually entering ..

One of the girls (Im sure it was Mary 🤔) said they fancied Jake.. 😳

Obviously it came to nothing..

crikey maybe Im remembering wrong 😱🤣

Gemma2019 · 15/08/2021 12:57

I'm pretty sure Lillie said she was interested in Jake before she went in, but that must have changed when she met him.

Areyouseriousrightnow · 15/08/2021 13:00

You’re right he hasn’t specifically been tested. But equally I don’t think it’s fair to say, if he had been, he would’ve failed. We don’t know! We can’t know his true intentions(or anybody else’s in the show tbh) and although he has seemed to play up to the cameras, and maybe doesn’t like Liberty quite as much as she likes him, he has been entirely loyal to her throughout. I think contestants have been forgiven and eventually celebrated, for much more!

QueenBee52 · 15/08/2021 13:02

Aahh thank you ...

thought I'd perhaps imagined the whole thing 🤣

Zampa · 15/08/2021 13:51

I don't think Jake is really, really into Liberty in the way Liam is with Millie but I do think he likes her. Yes, he's playing up for the cameras but I don't think it's all made up.

However, I don't think he loves her and leading Liberty on, when it's clear she "loves" him, isn't the right thing to do and is pretty rotten.

I agree with this and it's a shame in a way that he hasn't been tested. We don't know for sure but I imagine he would have lapped up the attention from another girl.

Areyouseriousrightnow · 15/08/2021 14:01

But he is being judged more harshly and targeted by the producers more than blokes who have been tested- and FAILED! Eg Tyler- binning off Kaz and then binning off the next woman to go back to her. And also completely playing up to the camera with the huge gesture, to ‘go exclusive’ days after.
Jake has definitely made mistakes in there but he and Teddy have been the only two to at least be consistent and respectful, so it doesn’t seem fair to be judging him on hypotheticals when other blokes in there have actually done the crimes, and not getting any heat or a big focus on their relationship from the producers.
Aware that I sound like I’m Jake’s mum at this point Grin

Stealbee · 15/08/2021 14:04

I think jake does like liberty, but has been a bit swept up in the whole thing and is too far in to admit that it's moving too fast for him. I'm pretty sure kem said that when he did the bracelet thing the producers gave them to him, it wouldn't overly surprise me if that's the case here. Some things seem a bit questionable like when he held her back and she wanted to run up to see kaz; but editing makes all the difference, and it seems that this series they have chosen him to be the molly mae.

butterpuffed · 15/08/2021 14:36

I don't particularly like Jake but don't think he's as black as he's been painted .

I like Liberty but don't think she's as perceptive as she says. She listens to Jake and accepts what he says, then she does the same with the girls, she's too easily influenced, needs to have a mind of her own.

Depechemodebiggestfan · 15/08/2021 15:02

I thought Pryia is different. She is not.
Poor Matthew. He is so so gorgeous.
Reminds me Sergio from Kasabian.
Brett is yucky.
