Tits is absent ! Love Island thread 4

[anybloodyname]

Here you go

These boys and girls are tiresome. They are too young to have ‘a type’, to be ‘sassy’, certain ‘energy’. They can be attracted to a certain look or be more attracted to a personality like their own but this talk of ‘ruining’ someone, being possessive, moping around cuddling one person all day, is just exhausting. When did they all stop having fun and laughing. They are practically school leavers and it’s sad to see them.

The only ones having any fun in there and not taking things seriously are ES and Davide so they are my ‘winners’ this year.

I think maybe two years of no social life during the pandemic has made the early twenties group more immature than they would usually be. They didn't date as much or socialize as much as most would have at that age.

Good point @Midlifemusings - also reminds me how much more time they spend online which can mess up handling actual people, relationships and emotions IRL. They're used to portraying themselves as one image, but having to discover that they're not like that at all, and may not be anywhere near as confident, resilient, popular, sassy etc as their idea of themselves. Makes sense that E-S and Davide can manage things at more of an ironic distance, playing a character and not getting genuinely hurt/manipulated so much, as they've been around the block a bit more. Gemma is unusual, but older than her years having been brought up to deal with the media and suss out genuine from fake friends. But the likes of Andrew and Tasha are flailing around badly, and even Jacques is losing a grip of himself, having to deal with these heavy relationship questions just a few weeks in to what could have been just a bit of fun. It's A LOT to handle.

Can’t see any of these hook ups lasting on the outside.

Luca is insecure and needy and I can’t see Gemma putting up with that. To be honest I don’t even think she is that into him.

Andrew is pathetic and needs to go.

Jacques is hideous and if she gets back with him then she is as dim as him.

Davide and ES to win. At least they are fun!

I wanted to more of ES talking to the new girls.
It's been far too much Andrew Tasha Paige Jacques.

And it's just lawn drawn out chats. Not even dramatic arguments particularly. All very stilted apart from some bad language.

The producers are probably thinking this is amazing tv. But it's was the same chats on repeat for hours .

I wonder if the production team are very young themselves themselves to consider this riveting viewing?

Gemma is unusual. She is surprisingly down to earth, pragmatic sensible self assured confident young woman, and very mature for her age, to be honest her parents should be proud.

the only surprise is she’d chose to go on this show, but I assume it’s because she wants to work in tv and it gives her a platform, another reason not to be a twat. For her it’s one long job interview.

luca needs to stop trying to control her, he will never succeed with it, he should know that, but I think it’s his insecurity and neediness that’s driving him. There is no way gemma will ever be missus bish so he should try to enjoy it for what it is, while it is.

I think she does like him and is happy settling with him and avoiding the drama, but she doesn’t like him enough, which is why she’s no issue putting him in his place when she feels like it. If it ended she’d not be crying over it and wouldn’t give it much thought.

I think Luca knows all the above but he also knows he has a chance of winning it with her AND a chance of being in her Dad’s circle for awhile and he does seem to genuinely like her even if he is impressed by her Dad and lifestyle. I don’t think she’s particularly into him but I wonder what it must be like to grow up and have boys/men constant attention. It must give anyone in that position confidence in themselves. I’ve no doubt she’s been coached in what to say/not to say and how to behave and that coaching will have started in private schools as well as specifically before entering the villa. And it has worked! She is a terrific example to women - young and old.

Jaqués family have come out and said he has a diagnosis of ADHD and has done since he was 9.

They have started with the excuses already.
His behaviour is terrible because he is a vile dickhead, not because he has ADHD

Tbh it’s Chyna I feel sorry for, how awkward to be brought in only to be dumped 24 hours later, she’s probably still happy she got in the villa but it was be embarrassing

I don’t feel sorry for Coco either, she knew what she was doing with with Andrew, massively twisted the ‘Tasha is playing you’ thing and was rude and bitchy herself about Tasha. She wasn’t happy about getting pied so engineered the whole thing last night to make herself the victim.

Andrew is worse though, he’s a proper creep, apparently obsessed with Tasha after only weeks but jumped into bed with someone else who he wanted to ‘ruin’ 🤮🤮 In his first convo with Tasha yesterday after he said he’s stopped things with Coco he expected Tasha to say she’d do the same and he was furious that she didn’t. He gives me Joe off YOU vibes.

I can’t get onboard with all Jacques hate, the gaslighting abusive manipulative etc I think he’s just a stupid immature boy with poor social and communication skills tbh, and I do think he was genuine last night. The ADHD does make sense and I bet it took a lot for the family to decide to disclose that. I think Paige will take him back tbh.

I agree that the boys have been shocking this year though, Lucas attempts to control Gemma, Dami and Jays insincerity toward the girls, Jacques inability to take accountability for how he’s made Paige feel, Andrews lies etc. The only saviour has been Davide and his comic timing! The new boys from casa have added nothing to the villa in my opinion, not that we’ve seen much of them but I don’t think they’ll last long.

How is ADHD in any way relevant to being a gaslighting prick?

Why is that any way relevant.

It isn’t. His family are trying to damage control because he has shown his true colours.

Adhd can cause people to act impulsively without thinking of consequences. I think they have probably reveled that to explain his actions in casa.

I am very familiar with ADHD. Several members of my own family have been diagnosed with it.
You are correct, it can cause you to act impulsively . However, it does not turn you into a negging , gaslighter who dates sixteen year old teenagers
Sorry, but I am not buying what his family is selling.

I've been watching this for most series.
Apart from giving up towards the end last couple of series.
Anyway I don't remember a previous series when everyone that chose to re couple tries and wants to immediately get back with their original pairing.
Its like going backwards. And makes for frustrating viewing. Rather the series evolving. Bit like a soap when they constantly get back together.
Only this is worse as there is no chemistry whatsoever. 😕

I agree he’s more of an immature little boy than gaslighting, he’s just quite dim and not expressing himself properly

Ps I can confidently say you all those thar are singing Gemmas praises, will be eating their words in a matter of weeks .
I'm neutral about her atm. But yeh should be fun seeing the ohhhh I was wrong . Whether it's after the series or during will be interesting.

You are probably right.
I actually liked Dami and Paige at the beginning. Now I don’t like either of them

I agree with others that Jacques is immature more than anything. They are little more than kids most of them. He hasn’t behaved well but I don’t think it’s full on psycho behaviour as much as immature and drunken stupidity.

We can only form opinions about what we have seen.

If you know her in real life and she behaves differently to how she has been portrayed on the show, you will obviously have different opinions.

I don’t think it means people are wrong to form opinions on what they have seen.

This lampzade 💯 I could have written the post myself. This will put a bad name to adhd, they can't be allowed to use it as an excuse for his behaviour
