Love Island Thread 6 - I'd rather have a pint of elephant juice thanks...

[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....

Yes to this! Wonder if the girls will be allowed to snog each other in the game tonight, much preferable to the vile men toads!

If they're the most solid couples then the show has problems....neither of them will last when they go home and their tans have faded and Luca's teeth don't look quite as tippexed when he's selling fish down the market looking all pasty with his flicky hair and Pink Ladies from Grease shirt.

Phew that was a long sentence...

Just seen what I think is a first look clip where luca says tasha is riding on a dress coattails to win (not sure if it’s a challenge)

1. Andrew and tasha have both been in the bottom for the votes so that logic doesn’t work

2. if anyone is riding coattails and us a game plan it’s luca! Ffs

@Narcheska totally agree. It was unfortunate that Luca got that question as it clearly applied to him.

And why does he think Andrew's coat tails are worth anything?
Tasha was modelling before she came in, Andrew was selling flats in Dubai, how is that going to help her?
So annoying.

Perhaps Jay should have explained what 'riding on someone's coat tails' means by saying 'a big like you are doing with Gemma, Luca'

Perhaps it would have been clearer to him.

I hate snog, marry, pie, but just because I hate them smacking the pie in someone's face. That slap noise, and knowing that they could do damage even completely by accident, makes my skin crawl.
It's probably just me, but having been hit in the face makes it upsetting for me to watch.
why can't they use a supersoaker with gunge, or something similar? They do not need to actually hit people in the face!

Yes, Gemma: Snog Paige, marry ES and pie Luca!

Well Gemma is obviously going to be in for more mental torture from tippex teeth tonight as she can’t marry and snog him, so she’s obvs going to do something wrong in his eyes tonight!

If no girly kisses are allowed she may as well go the whole hog and marry Davide, snog the spoons plate and pie Luca 😂😂

😂I noticed the Pink Ladies top too!

@Prinnny

Tippex teeth.

About bloody time

I was thinking the same
What a shame Luca got that one
It would have been perfect for him 🤬

I’m starting to find the programme depressing now too. Just petty, manufactured squabbles and stupid sex quizzes

Putting Gemma in the situation where she has to say which boy she'd snog in front of her controlling boyfriend (as obviously she will say she'd marry him) is so gross from the producers.

She literally cannot win if they play that. She can't refuse to play as the producers will pressure her. So she'll play and get bollocked by Luca afterwards despite having, again, done absolutely nothing wrong.

No doubt while he's back slapping his mates for doing the same. Again.

Gemma will say snog Davide (and that will be fine with Luca as he knows there is no chemistry, she will say marry Luca and then she will pie Billy to prove to Luca she is not interested. Luca will be delighted.

One thing tho, I do think the show have a way of engineering a ‘villain of the week’ and Luca is this weeks. He has behaved appallingly but I hate that he and is family are getting threats and online abuse. It’s so ridiculous that people criticise his abusive behaviour by becoming abusive themselves and claim to have the moral high ground. I’m talking about people tagging him in their tweets and messaging his family.

I‘m finding it difficult to watch too tbh. There was a playfulness and fun about the previous series.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Catching up on last night; what the actual fuck is Luca on about?

The way he reacted over absolutely nothing is appalling. I used to like him but what the hell was he thinking? Gemma will run a mile at this behaviour, even if she waits until they're on the outside - in what world does he think his behaviour is acceptable? For anyone who wasn't as assured and confident as Gemma they could be so easily manipulated or cowed into thinking they're in the wrong when they're not!

And men won't try it on with a woman unless they're in with a chance?! 100% of the female population have had unwanted advances from men in some form or another! This makes me so angry!

In other comments, Paige is spot on. She's got the measure of the lads.

I wish Gemma would just tell him to get lost now with emphasis on how unacceptable and unattractive that controlling behaviour is.

My 16-year-old niece and all her friends all watch and I honestly worry what sort of messages they could be absorbing if they’re watching older women they look up to and admire putting up with and normalising this crap, and these sorts of relationships put forward as ‘couple goals’

Amen! By Luca's logic I've been 'trying it on' with men since I was 11 years old.

Disappointed none of the men was shown calling his behaviour out.

Also disappointed in Billy bullshitting that he thought Gemma was flirting back.

ARGH stick to your guns Gemma, you ARE NOT wrong here!

Theory to explain Luca's behaviour/bullying of Tash.

He was interested in her at first, all his exes have been blonde. He ditched her for Gemma, his sights set on the 'prize'. He wanted Tash pining after him to stroke his ego, she hasn't. He still fancies her which is why he has to dig her out every chance he gets.

And now he won't let Gemma talk 🤬

The worst part of Love Island minus the stupidly long pointless re coupling.
Is the morning after chats that couldn't be any more rehearsed and boring as hell if they tried!!
And forgetting the fact they discuss stuff we saw. WTF are the producers on.
People should talk about each other in a normal way not stupid groups and boy girl separated always.
I'd rather listen to a gossip session in the wardrobe than how it's set up!
Or chatting in the bath.

You stick to your guns Summer. He is a cock. A manipulative cock. I’m

Summer is too normal for robotic LI.
