[TitsInAbsentia]

Look, judge me for going early but I'm down the pub again tomorrow and I need to make sure your commentaries and observations are all being jotted down in an orderly fashion 😂

Be darlings though, and fill up the other one first....

It looked liked Paige was not into that kiss at all lol

Agree. This lot are vile. As soon as they were in a group they all piled on saying Ekin Su was a liar, even Deji. Billy suggesting to Luca that Gemma encouraged him. Dami disrespecting Summer and shouting her down. I can’t think of a worse bunch.

This is the first season of love island I've watched, what is parents say? Video clips of their parents opinions??

I've only been watching it since 2016 but I think this is worst bunch of 'men' ever.

Pretty disgusted by tonight’s show and the behaviour of the ‘men’. They were cranking up the things that hurt the girls and repeating them - Luca and Dami the worst. The misogyny towards Ekin Su is also disgusting - they don’t like her because they know she’s stronger and got more balls than them. The boys absolutely turned everything around as though they were the victims. They really are awful this year.

Luca is absolutely vile and has given enough red flags now that he is insanely jealous and controlling. Gemma should dump him ASAP. I fear she will let him back in though - he’s so manipulative.

I’ve been a Luca supporter up to now but his behaviour tonight has been a huge turn off. Gemma really needs to stand firm on this one.

I'm glad she's moved on. Jacques was bad news so why on earth would she be in there moping over him. She only knew him 2 minutes and time in there is limited now.

Run Gemma run

Oh God, I hate this, the Luca and Gemma thing is giving me a knot in my stomach because it's so reminiscent of someone I used to be involved with. I hope Gemma doesn't fold, because if she folds now she'll be in this situation for a long time and come out the other side as a different person 🙁

Yes, run Gemma, run.. and don't look back.
Been so impressed with Gemma, as a 19 year old, so far. Equally, if she sticks with him (not a huge amount of choice and I think her pride will stop her exploring a connection with Billy) I do hope her parents when they go in disapprove so it all ends anyway.
Luca's behaviour is concerning. Also very bizarre how he's been soo (unhealthily IMO) obsessively into her and now this. He'll (hopefully) lose her.

Gemma will take Luca back. But I don’t think it will last on the outside.

I really liked Dami. He was horrid tonight.

Oh right! Thank you 😊

Wow what a psychopath tipex teeth is! I also liked him but my mind is blown! Causing a row over nothing, twisting it, making her doubt herself, silent treatment and sneaking around listening to her chats with friends! All over her having a chat with a kid who dresses like a Wetherspoons plate. Who she actually knows on the outside world so of course she’ll wana chat to him!!! I hope her family are planning an intervention asap. Kick the fucker to the curb.

Dami is manipulate as fuck, belittling summer, remember summer isn’t over dami?! Again I imagine her family are planning an intervention.

Paige is so fake, can’t stand the tickling and cutesy voice and back and forth shit flirting, giving me the major ick. I’ve seen more genuine Louis Vuitton bags from China than her and Adam.

Andrew and Tasha actually came out of tonight the best, the accepted they both fucked up but are living in the future not the past, think the boys were vile to her actually.

Wherever they found the ‘men’ for this series can they send them back and lock the bloody door please!!

This! All of it.

Amazed at anyone saying they liked Luca up to now, DH and I have been yelling at the TV about his alarming, controlling, immature behaviour for weeks. He’s nasty. Gemma can do so much better.

Tasha and Andrew still make me want to puke.

Luca is deranged. I’m not sure why so many on here liked him. Some of these signs were there weeks ago. Jealous loon who if a bloke went near his woman he would call out the bloke, he would get home and have a major rant at the woman ! Absolutely red flag central that man.

Dani is a bellend and Indiyah stupid for siding him. What is she thinking?

Wouldn’t call out the bloke

Will be interesting to see, if Gemma doesn't tell him to do one first, how her Mum treats him when she visits.

How Dami treats Women is one disgusting thing, but I do not understand how any Woman can hear / see him deliberately and openly fart like that and not have her fanny immediately slam shut & double lock. The thought of getting naked in proximity to an arse like that turns my stomach < not envy.

Same!

For me, tonight was just a tipping point from ‘bit of a prick’ to ‘toxic cunt’.

I think before I viewed him as one of those lessons we all have to go through whereas now it’s clear as day that he’s actually one of those men that breaks you down over time.

And Ekin-Su needs to tell Davide to fuck off for that ‘clicking his fingers and having her whenever he wants her’ comment alone.

God, I’m raging. Still.

Billy was a manipulative lying twat as well tonight.

Luca has more red flags than a communist party conference

Me too, I'm baffled.

Also so disheartening to see so many girls and young women on social media labelling his behaviour as 'protective'.

It's not synonymous with possessive and that's something we need to really try to clarify to the young women in our lives.

Luca isn't protective of her. He's seen nothing happen that she needs protecting from. No danger, no harassment etc. He has been possessive of her.

I also noticed the little arm push tonight and a I said it reminded me so much of a particular ex of mine who never physically hurt me but was taller than me and would block the door when I wanted to cool off and take a minute (toxic relationships because guess what... he cheated all the time while I didn't yet I got regularly accused of wrongdoing!) which meant I eventually got upset and either got called mental or ended up apologising to just stop the argument.

Nice blokes don't behave like Luca. They simply don't.

Here's hoping Gemma's parents come in (or mum at least!) and say not a fucking chance we are on board with this, he's possessive, jealous, dramatic, quick tempered and immature.

I've been genuinely impressed with how mature she is but she is only nineteen and that means her life experience is limited especially as a big chunk of her late teens included covid restrictions etc. She needs protecting from what is an already toxic dynamic.

Hopefully Women's Aid will do some press on this tomorrow as they normally do some great work trying to show young people that jealousy doesn't equal love.

I didn't like him from the 1st few eps.

And Ekin-Su needs to tell Davide to fuck off for that ‘clicking his fingers and having her whenever he wants her’ comment alone.

His smugness on that kind of makes me want them to win then her to take the money 😂

But I know she'd be vilified for it.

I felt so sad for her tonight when she took his comment as a potential jibe about her body.

She seemed more vulnerable than I've seen her. He's not good for her deep down IMO.

Recipe for toxicity as they both believe negative drama = positive passion.

@AbsoluteShambles Ekin Su did say the same thing about Davide though! When she was in the dressing room. I think she was speaking to Charlie

I also hate the Luca made Gemma question herself - she's a strong and guarded woman, I hate to think how someone weaker would react. Total narcissistic behaviour
