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....

Danica, Indiyah and Summer seem to have a friendship forming!

You are( hopefully) in a committed relationship IRL. I would hope that your DP would be against you exploring your options
Tasha is a young lady on a show whereby the premise of the show is trying to find someone that you are attracted to , get to the final and win £50k. So it is not comparable to your own situation .
Now , I am the first to admit that Tasha has been flip flopping all over the place . I have found her a bit irritating at times.
However, this does not mean that she deserves to be bullied by a bunch of misogynistic pricks simply because she wasn’t interested in one of them.
Also , it does not mean that she should be slut shamed and criticised on a regular basis.
She has been in the bottom a number of times which may explain why she is a ‘crybaby’. She is probably worried about what she is going to face when she gets out of the villa. I am no shrinking violet, but if I consistently got the lowest votes I would probably cry too.
Disappointing to witness the flippant attitude of some posters when it comes to the bullying and slut shaming of a young woman by a bunch of hypocritical males

Very well said.

Tasha's dad's statement the other day, also explains why Tash would have got so upset.

The men are more misogynistic this year, than any other. The behaviour on display is toxic. It's not just a bit of fun or bants and anyone condoning it seriously needs to question themselves.

Placemarking
Catching up!

I feel cheated at the end of each episode like nothing happened and I was tricked, AGAIN!

^^ Agree with this madd

How is it they are all at risk - what did we vote for?!😡

^massively! A cliff hanger after most episodes lol
Only half of snog marry pie shown then cliffhanger. It's a silly challenge ffs.
Challenges have never stopped half way through before.
Who ever is in charge has no idea what the hell they are doing.
And why does everything have to be the same every year. Casa why? Movie night why? Pie why?
Night club party then exit why?
Parents come in why ?
Oh and unless they quit L and I aren't going anywhere.

Presumably we didn't leave the right people vulnerable?

But I don't see how they can't use the vote at all, so perhaps this is all part of the dragging it out

Do we ever get new arrivals this late on?

Yep ditto when the boys went for the spa day thing, it must have been obvious a bombshell would be sent into the villa with the girls

Looking back I think most of the problems about Tasha have been started and stirred up by Luca and Dami. I hope they go. Especially Luca. He’s not a nice man

Apparently there are two boys and two girls going tonight. There have been newbies sent in after the party before and there's still 11 episodes to go before the final (I think) so there is time.
Something needs to change the dynamic in there...

Ooh and also public vote to actually count for something without the producers constantly manipulating who goes and who stays

Today I was thinking…

Luca got the ache with Tasha early on - like day 2 - because she chatted with Luca and was kind of interested in him, but nothing came of it. And as pp have said, he said outright early on that Tasha was his ‘type’.

Luca hinted to Andrew that he liked Tasha and she was up there on his top 3 with Paige.

Then Andrew landed a kiss on Tasha to affirm his interest in her, and also when asked, lied and old Tasha that she wasn’t in Luca’s top 3.

Tasha let that info slip to Luca. Then Luca confronted Andrew about this and Andrew was pretty sheepish. But to be fair, the show is a game, so 🤷‍♀️

I believe this is where all Luca’s bitterness towards Tasha, and to Andrew to a lesser extent, comes from. That’s why Luca was whispering in Andrew’s ear when Casa started. And the boy! Those boys did enjoy whispering in his ear and sowing that seed of doubt.

yea Tasha talked to bombshells but she is entitled to do that because that’s what LI is about. And jeez… she was just talking ffs.

Luca is affronted that Andrew has managed to keep his relationship going with Tasha (despite her treats and doubts, and apart from the Billy blip) all this time, despite his best efforts to get in Andrew’s head.

and that’s why he’s so unbearably sensitive about Gemma and the other boys.

I Have gone 180 on Tasha & Andrew and actually want them to survive. Whereas Luca, he’s just a petty minded, insecure and bitter boy.

The End

Oh I do hope we get some newbies tonight! Another 11 nights of this will be dull. Eeee imagine if Luca and Dami go and new boys come in and sweep Indiya and Gemma off their feet a la Greg 2019! Highly highly unlikely I know but hey strangers things have happened who’d have thought we’d all be voting Tasha and Andrew last night 😂

Final is Monday 1st August so 2 weeks to go. They could easily bring in some new talent in that time.

Caught up on a few shows earlier and can't believe went from tit gate to Tasha forgiving Andrew so quickly and then her being open to Adam in one morning

What does all islanders at risk mean 🤔
I hope it doesn’t mean we don’t see the results of yesterday’s vote

😂😂😂 she sat on the fence with Andrew.
Now she realises that she's going home she suddenly loves him.
She told him and everyone else, 'I've never felt this way before'. Then proceeded to crack on with others.
Paige did the same until Jay bored her to death.😂😂😂
All the couples have been flakes in this series, paranoia island. Not one decent couple. A few need booting out. It's getting tedious.

Considering not watching anymore, fatigued with it all. A few fun newbies might change my mind but it’s awfully static and toxic in there.

I’ve only watched since 2018 (so not seen the old ones where they still had smoking etc) but this is definitely the worst season for me. My fave was the 2019 series where amber and Greg won.

The noises are getting louder about the boys behaviour on social media and by sponsors and Woman’s aid so I can imagine the producers will have had a word about this and all of a sudden then will be nice as pie. If they aren’t then they will get so much shit when they get out. Luca in particular. There is no way Gemma will be staying with him longer than a Hello shoot and a few other lucrative money spinners. I don’t see any chemistry from her side. In fact I don’t see any chemistry between any of them really! I see Millie and Liam have split up finally ! I can’t see any of this lot lasting longer than a month.

Can someone give me a basic run down of what's happening? As I say I wanna catch up so don't want too in-depth but reading a few messages seems like the guys are running round being abusive arseholes

Tonight will be the tell all I guess, if they've had a sudden u turn. I'm starting to lose my way with LI. Instead of having a quiet word the producers should be throwing out boys who behave in such a way.

Hey, it's no-where near as tedious as last year's!!

And we haven't seem nastiness/abuse on the scale of last year's tantrum outbursts either

And of course those pressures, and the pressures when they come out, are the reasons why they don't have 'normal/ordinary' people any more. Because they had to do more to support the well-being (inc MH) or Islanders and select those who have already moved into the fringes of a public life (influencer, acting, modelling etc)

That's not bad as a TL:DW of this series

(that's 'too long didn't watch')
