Love Island 2022 - Welcome to Antigone and Charlie...we think...

[TitsInAbsentia]

I'll delete this if someone else has got one going.

I love Ekin-Su. Makes the whole show worth watching!

Ah Paige’s naivety is actually annoying as hell. I wasn’t fussed on Jay but I can tell he is 100% more a genuine guy than Jacques. Jacques is just a walking red flag and I honestly can’t stand watching him. You can tell he puts all the lads before anything, she’ll have an eye opener when she gets out.

I don’t care what Ekin does; she can not go down in my estimations. Exactly what the show needs because everyone else is a snooze fest.

Tasha, please go away. She’s using Andrew and it’s just too cringe to watch. I basically fast forward every part that has them as a couple and Gemma and Luca.

Apart from Indiyah and Dami I don’t think anyone really likes each other.

I love Dami but I get the feeling that he’s going to stop putting any effort in and it could slide back into a friendship because he’s so chilled

Jacques is really unsettling. When he was talking to Antigone he looked full of pent up anger, jiggling his knees like he was spoiling for a fight. Then the sarcastic comment to Paige- and then when he went over instead of apologising he basically said if she didn’t shape up he’d move on. His body language was really off while she was draped over him as of trying to pacify him.

And what does she do? Dumps Jay the same day to keep Jacques happy and because he basically threatened to cut her loose if she didn’t. Serious red flags, she seems way too malleable for someone as intense as Jacques. You can just see how he’d react if he thought she was talking to another guy in a club or something and ‘mugging him off’. Sinister.

‘Opening up’ doesn’t automatically mean the recipient has to immediately give you their undivided attention. And if he’s never done it before maybe he should ask himself why 🙄

I found the ES / Gemma thing mildly amusing. Yes she’s a shit stirrer but Gemma did basically say that and ffs they’ve known each other a couple of weeks, why is Luca acting as if they’re engaged? I think he feels he’s snared the hottest / most popular girl in the villa and is loving the thought of them being some kind of ‘power couple’ on the outside (especially if he knows who her dad is?) He’s desperate not to lose that opportunity, despite his feeble protestations that he won’t put up with him being more into her …

Ovie was up there & special its true. And bloody beautiful.

I like Paige but I am starting to find her mannerisms (waggly head?!) and way of talking (slight baby voice) a little annoying which i feel mean saying as she is a nice girl. Its not all the time, usually when talking Jay... maybe it's when she's uncomfortable.

…

Ovie and Antigone would have made a good couple.

This made me do a double-take.

"Jacking off" has a very different meaning where I'm from 😂😂

It’s a bit early in the series for the stripper challenge! We need some bombshells in asap, half the villa is single with no interest in anymore in there, getting rather dull tbh!

😂

Must be trying to make use of the dancers (Tasha and Danica) before they get kicked off!

Or maybe a new bombshell will arrive during the dancing. Like a previous year, I can't remember her name, but a girl from Newcastle arrived (Rebecca?)

Tbf, rejected casa amor girls have history for making things up.

I don't believe for a second Wes strayed in casa amor. not a chance.

I've missed a couple of eps - can someone explain what eggy sue lied about and what shes done to Gemma?

Why are they doing the stripper challenge this early!? It’s normally towards the end

I cannot imagine being told to take off your sunbathing clothes, have a shower, put on makeup and go back to the kitchen with half a glass of warm wine and party as if its NYE. Do they even have music for these 'parties'.? It must be so forced. But they have to do it because its so utterly dull watching it and must be even worse living it.

I don't give a toss about Gemma and Luca. He's a red flag if he thinks some girl is going to declare love for him after two weeks of enforced time together. I'm sure it won't be long before he asks her to be his 'girlfriend' or maybe he's more chance of begging her to be her 'boyfriend'.

Tasha has no interest in Andrew who seems like a pretty nice guy really. She's stuck really as the others dislike her for playing Andrew and she's too afraid of not staying in if she tells Andrew the truth.
ES can stir it all she likes because without her, I wouldn't watch it tbh. She's the only one who seems to understand the job - they are there to entertain millions of viewers - not to pretend to fall in love.

Paige was silly with her 'love triangle' nonsense. She'd have been better sticking with Jay. Jacques isn't coming across well in there.
Antigone should start singing and try at least to use the programme as a platform for her music career. She's far too mature to be on the show.
Davide is fun but he's going to remain single in there I think. He wants the very pretty girls only and he's shown he's a player by kissing Danica for his own amusement.

Jacques - "I've opened up to you, I've told you how I feel, so if you don't respect that, don't respect it. I won't be staying around if you don't respect it. It's as simple as that. If it was you in that position, it wouldn't be a little thing either."
Wtf?? After she didn't go immediately into the pool with him?! Run, Paige, run.

Every year I get really cross that there's no attempt to discourage them to NOT lie around in the sun all day. Skin cancer is a massive risk and shows like this should be helping discourage tanning instead of glamorising it 😕

they don't. it's editing. Previous contestants have talked about this.

No, there's no music.

Ironically it was the ones screaming and shouting about what a dreadful programme it is that have now made it so scripted and dull - no alcohol, no music, deliberate conversations.

Done in the name of 'safeguarding', but its made it utterly fake, which goes against the idea of protecting them from the glamorous world of 'celebrity' in the first place.

They don't what?

They don't have music.

I imagine its because it would interfere with their microphones or they might be able to whisper a few words to each other that couldn't be picked up by the overhead microphones.

I presume they 'go for a swim' together if they want to say anything privately to each other?

Living in a villa, sunbathing, lounging around on chairs all day, then dress up, and lounge around on chairs for a couple of hours and then go to bed. They must leave to go to the beauticians. I noticed India's nails were well manicured last night and they'd have grown a bit to be like that from the beginning. Noticing manicures really shows how riveting the programme is.

They obviously do sit in the sun for quite a while or else they wouldn't look so tanned/ red.
And yes I see them sitting under the trees or shade also.
Davide tan is ridiculous and he said he uses sunbeds all the time. Tut tut.

I'm surprised they allow the islanders to speak at all. Oh no the viewers can't possibly here a natural conversation . Top secret stuff.
Maybe it will just be music montages and kissing. No getting to know anyone.
