Antigoni is lush but just not the love island type. She's just too mature and worldly, and seems to be taking it with a pinch of salt.

BiscoffSundae · 29/06/2022 19:20

I don’t think Antigoni is attractive she seems like a nice person though and has lovely hair

Have any of the islanders made any reference to the weird age thing re Gemma and jacques?

I don’t see how Luca can take his opinion on being in a relationship with Gemma that seriously given she was SIXTEEN when they were together. Even if we are to believe she could be a ‘nightmare’ how many 16-year-old girls know how to maturely behave in an adult relationship. It’s just all a bit wrong tbh.

She was 17. Given her life was one of travelling for international competitions and hob knobbing with the rich and famous - she isn't really your typical 17 year old in many ways. And Jacques seems immature for his age and likely has less life experience than she does. Given his background, I am sure he was drawn to her dad / lifestyle with some stars in his eyes. Since he was away training and competing with a rugby team and she was away on international dressage tournaments, I don't know how much time they actually spent together. They apparently dated 8 months from summer 2020 to early 2021.

When I was 17 / 18, getting an older boyfriend for the summer was all the rage and pretty much everyone dated guys 2-4 years older than then.

I don’t think many people care irl tbh when I was 16 I dated someone who was 21

outshinethemorningsun · 29/06/2022 19:49

I suppose I get that. It’s more the criticising of the behaviour of a 16/17-year-old girl in a relationship- i think totally normal not to know how to behave or be a bit jealous/insecure.

I would turn gay for Antigoni TBH.

So would Tasha... tho I think she was turn gay for most girls.

Aquarius1234 · 29/06/2022 19:53

Would*

DH is addicted to Love Island as much as I am. But last night he was visiting his parents (76 and 81) and sensibly opted not to watch it with them. Can you imagine if he'd sat down and said "let's watch this programme I'm following" and their first ever glimpse of LI was last night's episode? 😂😂.

Incidentally they got married when MIL was 16 and FIL was 21. They had dh when MIL had just turned 18. It was a different world back then in the early 60s for working class kids living out in the sticks.

outshinethemorningsun · 29/06/2022 20:03

Was it Paige who had kissed a lot of girls? (one of the previous challenge questions i think!)

Aquarius1234 · 29/06/2022 20:16

Yes it was Paige and she's had foursomes?
I can only assume she's quite attracted to women lol

I thought Jacques conversation with Luca about Gemma was very revealing. He said he couldn't be himself around Gemma. What he really meant is when he behaved like a prick (which is often) she would call him out on it and he didn't like that. He is looking for someone much more submissive who won't challenge him when he is being a dick.

Paige is a people pleaser and doesn't want to upset anyone. Jacques spotted this a mile off.

I think Gemma is so mature for 19. I can't see her staying with Luca. She likes him but is very quickly losing respect for him - I think she finds the needy, insecure behaviour unattractive.

I think her issue is that most men her own age are far too immature.

I completely agree with this. Gemma knows her own mind & her own worth and is confident enough to call people out on their bullshit. She's actually becoming my favourite! I'd love for her head to get properly turned in Casa Amor!

Youcansaythatagainandagain · 29/06/2022 20:41

I really do t see the point of Danica picking Andrew.
He will sleep on the pull out bed like Luca did. Danica will sleep alone on the bed.
There simply isn’t any point.

They have to vote two out tonight. Least popular boy will be Charlie. Least popular girl may be Tasha (if manipulated) when everyone knows it would otherwise be Antigone.

I think Paige is quite tough despite her baby voice tbh.

Aquarius1234 · 29/06/2022 20:51

I don't think Gemma coming from a very rich background and good schools makes her mature or sensible.
That's just her personality. Or and isn't Michael Owen quite boring.

Aquarius1234 · 29/06/2022 20:54

The fact that Gemma likes Luca or Jaques previously makes her a typical 19 year old. Liking the lads rather than the geeks.

Who does everyone think the women will pi ?

Gemma - Luca
Ekin Su - David
Indya- Dami
Tasha - Andrew
Page- jacques
Danica- if she gets to pick first then Andrew, if not then Jay?
My favourite, Antigone - Jay or Charlie?

I reckon ES will get to pick when there's only Davide, Jay and Charlie left, it's the only tiny hint of jeopardy available for these picks unless Paige pulls a blinder on Jacques and picks Jay (which would lead to Jacques probably going on a rampage).

Although I'd quite like Danica to get a pick before Tasha and pick Andrew, I just can't see that happening. Actually Tasha might quite like that if she thinks Casa Amor is on the horizon!

Paiges voice reminds me or a few different people. Can't believe the type of guy or girl she goes for..
She's a parademic for god sake. Yeh I know that means nothing.

do they or are you speculating? I haven't seen first look so not sure if I have missed something!

Poor Danica, she's really not getting anything back from anyone. She must be so exhausted with it all.

Scabbyknackers · 29/06/2022 21:11

If Danica picks andrew then she's learnt nothing.

Aquarius1234 · 29/06/2022 21:11

Wonder why they need to drag this out.
Can't we just see them having a party all night.

The2Omicronnies · 29/06/2022 21:11

I’m so glad I’m not on the show having to read out those hashtags #bigchickenergy I totally read as “big chicken orgy”

Scabbyknackers · 29/06/2022 21:14

She'll make herself really unpopular with the girls too. It was different last time as she had to make a stab in the dark. Better to go with Charlie or Jay and bide her time and hopefully someone keen will come in.

Jellykat · 29/06/2022 21:18

Have i missed something? Jay was into Paige, thought he wasnt that keen on ES anymore, is she wishful thinking again.

MotherofKitties · 29/06/2022 21:18

I feel really bad for Danica. She seems like a nice girl and she's being pied left right and centre
