What happened to the love island thread

[Bestkindaparty]

Just been on to catch up on what I'd missed and the thread has gone?! Anyone have any idea why?

Twitter is saying it was nice for Ecky Sue to come in for her daughter Gemma. I don't normally laugh at mean tweets but that would did make me chuckle.

I also dislike being mean but Afia looks like that botched art restoration project.

I knew Liam would get voted to go on dates with the girls. I quite like him.

Where is the name Ekin-Su from? Is it Turkish?

Yeah, she's Turkish.

Apparently Jack Grealish follows her on IG

I've only just started watching tonight's. Gemmas lack of eye contact is annoying me. No chemistry between her and davide

Am I imagining things as I thought Luca DID say his top three to Andrew and Tasha wasn't in it?

For such a confident young lady she isn't into eye contact

I can’t think of anything more likely to spoil the moment of a first kiss than a minor celebration/ back slapping moment. Why do they always do this? It’s totally cringe.

it all just seems so goal oriented rather than authentic. Imagine you broke away from a first kiss and the guy (or girl) you kissed was not so subtly doing a victory dance.

i just don’t get it.

That first kiss look like the worst experience EVER!

I think those bits should be an integral part of the show. Especially in the first couple of weeks, so we get to see more of what they're really like.

I don't remember that conversation and I can't think who else could be in it. I think Luca really likes her.

luca just talked about two girls he thought were fit - Paige and Gemma, he didn’t mention Tasha but I think that was out of respect to Andrew who she is with, not because he doesn’t fancy her.

And spill the tea caught on quite some time ago for whoever was hoping it wouldn’t be a thing, it’s a well used phrase.

No one could like Gemma as much as Gemma likes Gemma

Gemma is unnecessarily spiky and conversations seem like hard work with her. I wonder if she’s doing it because she’s self conscious about being so young and she’s trying too hard to prove she can hold her own.

Andrew apologising to Luca and Tasha for lying was really cringe. He couldn’t get his words out and struggled to say what he needed to. I think they both just decided to forgive because it was so awkward. But he’s shown himself to be a bit of a shady character and both Tash and Luca know it.

Liam needs to stop wallowing and start getting to know other girls. I have a feeling that he won’t though and will be the first to go home.

Hed have done well any other year.

Not sure either girl is a match but they may well be a match for Davide so gemma may crawl back yet.

I don't understand how some of these young girls (ekin-su in particular) can afford the Chanel and Louis Vuitton handbags that are in the Instagram photos 🤯

I feel like Tasha is really milking the competition between Andrew and Luca. Mind you Andrew’s explanation for the blatant lie was pretty pathetic. Cringey really, he must’ve realised she’d find out what he said! how can it be a ‘genuine mistake’?! Tasha looks much more down to Earth and ‘girl next door’ on screen than on her Insta…

Dami needs to find a bit of va va voom. There’s chilled out and then there’s total closed book. He doesn’t seem interested in talking to anyone. Amber gets very little screen time too! Ha just as I was writing this I got to the bit when Dami kissed her. Finally! Maybe he’ll warm up.

Zero chemistry between Indiya and Ikenna too. Feel sorry for her, she looks so underwhelmed..

I forgot how boring the first few days are, always about to give up when it starts getting interesting! Not sure what to make of the newbies. Ekin Sue definitely looks to be in her 30s but I think it’s cos of the work she’s had done 😐

Influencer.

Great name, btw!

I don’t get Liam being sent on a date with Afia, don’t really see them together tbh I was surprised davide wasn’t picked to go on the date

Is there an extra bits programme please? Have I missed something... I'm watching via ITV Hub if that matters.

I am finding it quite weirdly separated by skin colour, I can't get my head around it - has the public basically voted racistly, just pairing people by colour??? And in the island, when the white people are discussing who else they might fancy, they only mention names of white people. Its so wierd to me.

@ImNotYourHunHun - that’s a nod to Eyal, right?

It’s been a long time thing on love island that most of the guys only fancy the white girls, it’s well known despite how much they try to change it.

Indiyah is a stunning girl so yeah it’s uncomfortable that none of the guys seem to be talking to her.

Nice to be seeing both Dami and Amber ”grafting” but the kiss just reminded me of this 🤢

There are subscription services for hiring x number of bags a year.
I'm not saying that's what they do but it's an option.
