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?

Placemark!

Found you!

Davide looks older than 27 to me. Think he might fancy Gemma but maybe her being 19 will put him off. Seems a bit ick. But then again my dh is 6 years older than me and we met when I was 17. I'm 32 now 🙈

Oh I hadn't realised it had gone! Thanks for flagging OP

Just watched first look, I'm not looking forward to the ridiculously looooong pauses during recoupling!

I always feel everyone on LI looks really old. I’m 29 and can’t past the fact Gemma is 19 years younger than men and born in 2003. Or the fact basically all of them are younger than me!

Love the fact they are using pre-owned clothes for the wardrobes this year. I saw an old contestant say every week they would get a huge delivery from PLT or wherever it was. Really wasteful and you could always tell the outfits seemed so cheap.

I mentioned this on the deleted thread but I wonder whether are lot of them are already aware who Gemma and her dad and we have to see a staged ‘oh your dads Michael Owen? No way’ type conversation. Jack followed Dani on Instagram pre-show, had liked lots of her pics and knew exactly who she was beforehand.

10 years younger than me that should say!

Uh Davide is an unbelievable character. He reminds me of Gaston on beauty & the beast. I keep expecting him to burst into song 🎵 As a specimen, yes I’m intimidating 🎵 🙄

The Threads are the only reason I watch.
Come back regulars...

I didn’t find Davide attractive at all

Me neither. And I’ve dated quite a few Italians.

Gemma - mean girl vibes but every guy will want her
Paige - nice girl vibes but every guy will pick Gemma over her
Indiyah - like her dislike the skunk hair
Amber - reminds me of Cara from season 2, I think she'll grow into a big personality
Tasha - sweet but think she'll be friendzoned by all
Luca - he seems quite nice to be fair (but can't imagine anything worse than a fishy smelling man)
Andrew - I can't actually remember him to write about so I wonder what that says
Ikenna - terrible footwear
Davide - I loved him for 5 minutes and then he irritated me
Liam - this years Hugo
Dami - I can't remember him either

There is my opinions that nobody asked for

I also don’t see the appeal in Davide. Small eyes. And he’s full of himself.

Lindjam has started a thread in Site Stuff asking why our old thread disappeared. Please add a comment to the Site Stuff thread to keep it bumped up so that HQ take notice

Paige looks like Imogen Thomas. Gemma is rude - no need to make comments about Luca’s surname. She’s probably spoilt being a celebrity daughter.

Place-marking for later - really annoying if old thread has gone for good.

Davide and Gemma are OK is you use the 'half his age plus 7 rule' but I think its a large gap when so young (and where she's essentially lost her time as a 17/18 yo to covid - they'll all have been disrupted, but I think the greatest impact will have been on her because she was not adult beforehand)

As we don't know them well yet, I do hope we see more of them in undirected moments - so just chatting and goofing around and showing what they're like. The bits where they're told to chat are still very stilted, and I think we all need a 'getting to know you' phase. It'll make the liddle and later phases of the show better too, with fuller characters

Would never make a comment but if I heard Bish I would assume it was meant to be Bishop and a shitty shortening of it.

Davide is doing my head in already acting like the king because he gets to choose.

Gemma is too young, as was Lucinda last year. They need a minimum age of 21.

Just checking in for later, didn’t realise the original thread had gone.

How old was Lucinda? I agree there should be a minimum age of 21.

A lot of the original threat was deleted - why?

But anyway. Place marking this as the new thread ahead of tonight!

*annoying that the original thread was deleted even!

I think Lucinda was 21 personally I would like it 23+ because they 21 year olds still seem very immature

WHAAAAAT! Hoping it wasn't any of my wisdom comments that got it pulled, don't think I said anything out of order unless Indiya's eyelashes got us pulled because I said they were a bit on the extra side (they probably have their own postcode so certainly their own MN account!). I probably won't start watching live until things start mixing up/dumping etc.
