I'm intrigued by the concept of a band aids and savlon tin, I must admit.

Poor old Jacques! If he'd only behaved like a decent person he'd still be in there with Paige heading towards the prize money.

Hopefully his downfall shows some sort of example to the men watching Love Island. It makes me itch that Luca and Dami appear to be getting away with it, largely due to accommodations made by their girls and then their fellow OG.

Argh!

Why would a game show teach a lesson to the men watching Love island?😂

Nice to see agreement on Nathalia being a natural beauty, I agree on, Tasha, I like blondes and she looks great with or without makeup. However, she has zero wife skills. Maybe girlfriend material but not serious.

What are wife skills?

PutYourBackIntoit · 22/07/2022 08:57

The producers clearly told Adam that if he went in, they'd redeem his reputation. I bet they suggested who to take out on dates, encouraged Jacques to leave and told him to ensure his head wasn't turned by the new bombshell.

Why is Gemma on LI?
it cant be the cash prize.
it can’t be for the exposure because she can afford her own PR to get column inches in the DailyFail.
The deadpan delivery of ‘Tell him to fuk off cos you’re fuking gorgeous” as her answer to all the girls problems won’t get her a tv presenter job anytime soon.
Keeping off screen with no drama won’t get any acting work.
So she’s on here to find love with a fishmonger of dubious character? Really?

There have been suggestions it is for exposure. Apparently she has a bikini business.

And the fishmonger's family apparently have a fish supply business rather than his income relying on him flogging fish on a stall to the general public. He's also had a couple of high profile ex girlfriends.

helencarrot · 22/07/2022 09:14

I still haven't caught up with the latest episode. I'd like Ekin and Davide to win. They might be fake as a couple, but they're entertaining and the alternative couples winning, for example Adam and Paige or Gemma and Luca, is a worse prospect in my opinion.

Soonberaining · 22/07/2022 09:16

@helencarrot I agree with you. ES and Davide have been good entertainment, which is more than can be said about the others. I'd hate Luca to win as I've not liked his attitude towards Gemma.

WalterHottleBottle · 22/07/2022 09:43

There was very little of Gemma/Luca (or Tasha/Andrew) shown in last night's ep. Their Truth or Dare challenges weren't shown (if they all did one) - possibly because we're now only being shown "good" behaviour from Luca now? Rehabilitation attempt?
Re the voting - does Love Island release all the vote results/placings after the series ends? It would be somewhat comforting to see if Luca was actually more unpopular with the viewers than we have been led to believe. Although I suspect the "he's just protective" and "it's only a game" is what his younger fans believe and don't yet have the life experiences to evaluate his behaviour.

Even without Luca's questionable behaviour - I don't see the huge appeal of him and Gemma as a couple. As a PP said - it's like watching paint dry! The edit makes them look as dull as ditchwater. They don't excite as a "loving couple" and their "drama" is low value. As a couple they have brought very little to the series.

That looks lovely. Organised or beautifully packed things are my favourite. 😂

WhenDovesFly · 22/07/2022 10:02

If Gemma's mum goes in on parent's night and doesn't say something about Luca's behaviour then we're all going to be on here going crazy. Best get the wine chilled in advance, or stocks of valium in the cupboard, just in case.

LuckyAmy1986 · 22/07/2022 10:28

Is anyone going off Indiyah slightly? She was my favourite but the way she didn't stick up for Summer at all the other night or Tasha during the pie challenge (where she was smirking and finding it funny seemingly) and a couple of catty comments re Summer, yet you are turning a blind eye to everything Dami has done and just rolling over for him? Not impressed

By the sounds of it, she's good at producing bogeys.

Well that was a snoozefest.

I want Ekin and Davide to win. Refuse to split the money. Huge liar drama. Make up. Then decide to split the money anyway. Fall out again.

Then have some sort of TV show where they travel round places abroad with all their ridiculousness.

I'm sure it would be heavily scripted but I don't care.

This would be an acceptable ending for me 😂 can you send it over to the producers now please? Far better than Gemma/Luca or Adam/Paige naffness...

@LuckyAmy1986 i don’t like indiyah at all. I think she treated Deji appalling in the casa recoupling “May the best heartbreaker win” while he stood at the side of her. It’s all just a massive game to her. She was also supposed to be ambers friend and jumped on Dami the second amber left.

BiscoffSundae · 22/07/2022 10:45

going off indiyah? I can’t stand her! Awful, I don’t know why she’s popular

That’s quite mean. She was in tears after being relentlessly bullied by the likes of Luca and Dami and didn’t have a tissue.

The producers have no problem showing a girl being humiliated and bullied and ensure the bully boys stay in which says everything sadly about their perception of women.

Agree. Completely gone off her.
Typically the cheated woman blames the other woman. Worse she befriended Summer while Summer was there and skated her as soon as she left. I thought she was better than that. She’s completely fake.
Summer was great actually. I loved the way she stood up for herself.

TitsInAbsentia · 22/07/2022 10:50

Dami is going to be abso gutted when he comes out and finds he and Indiya were early faves for the win....before he showed his true dick colours. I do also wonder if Indiya has ick now hence calling him Deji 😂which is actually an insult to Deji!

GlitteryGreen · 22/07/2022 11:13

Not her biggest fan but I think some of the criticism (not here, elsewhere online) about Paige re moving on from Jacques is really unfair.

She was pretty clear before he left that his behaviour had put her off massively and she wasn't impressed by his constant leaps to anger and defensiveness, it's just that he removed himself before she had the chance to actually end it with him. Even as he was leaving when he was telling her he loved her in a roundabout way and wanted her to be his girlfriend, she just said 'it's fine'.

I think she's also got caught up in Adam's higher profile and that's why she's clinging onto him so tight.

GlitteryGreen · 22/07/2022 11:14

Totally agree on Indiyah too. Both she and Paige have become really bitchy lately.

Annoyedwithmyself · 22/07/2022 11:44

Ekin Su and Davide are like an argumentative old married couple but realistically I don't think he will settle down for a good 10 years.

jay55 · 22/07/2022 12:04

I went off Indiya when she didn't stick up for Summer.
I've gone off all the girls for being doormats to vile men.
I understand not wanting an atmosphere in there but I also like to believe of the girls truly stood up for themselves and each other the guys would be out.

Picoloangel · 22/07/2022 12:42

I agree re Paige, she’d already realised that she couldn’t be with someone like Jacques when he left.

also massively gone off Indiyah - awful behaviour towards the other girls.
