I think Billy and Summer will go, although I almost feel like someone needs to put poor Danica out of her misery.

i want a Davide and Ekin win too.

Arashi · 20/07/2022 07:25

I really feel for Danica, she seems like shes a really nice person but I think she needs to go home now and be put out of her misery. LI isn't the show for her, or at least not this season. The boys are all vile (exception of Deji)

Billy will clearly be going home, although I'd love it to be Dami.

I'm just sick of the whole season tbh. The boys are shit. The girls are doormats. its the fakest season ever, and the stupid producers with their manipulation with the stupid cliff hangers and votes and stupid chats and just general editing of the Islanders is off the charts. If I was a better woman I would just stop watching

RichardsGear · 20/07/2022 07:28

Just jumping in here after lurking a while. Fully agree Tasha's treatment has been appalling and both my teenage DDs agree and voted for her last night. I also think the producers of LI noted all the positive publicity Strictly (and Giovanni) received last year having Rose as a contestant and jumped on the bandwagon, but sadly it has ended up being completely different for Tasha. I can't actually believe there have been negative comments on SM about her hearing impairment/voice etc.

I cannot bear Luca, Dami and Billy. We've not shouted at the telly so much in ages. Danica hasn't once mentioned Deji (that we've seen) since his declaration. She's really not interested in him.

Bloody good for Danica getting what she felt off her chest. Who the FUCK does Billy think he is telling her not to swear? Fuck you. Was it
that same, old trope: nice girls don't swear? Misogyny. Good for Danica 'You're not my dad. You're not my boyfriend. I'll swear because I want to'. Fucking right. I FUCKING LOVE swearing, Billy: try and tell me not to, come on! Cos you know what, Billy? I'm a fucking English teacher and I'll justify my swearing by filling your stupid, smirky, little face with words you've never fucking heard of.

Christ, I needed that off my chest.

PS ES and Davide for the win. I don't find her fake, I think she's hysterical.

The swearing blunted her point. It just sounded like a rant.
It was staged anyway.

Telling someone not to swear isn't misogyny.
Danica is boring and Billy is a piglet-looking dongle.

RichardsGear · 20/07/2022 07:32

Also one DD is studying Italian and she found it amusing that Twitter is saying 'Aaaw how sweet', that Davide and ES were talking of love, when he actually fobbed her off with the platonic "I love you," which you'd say to family (can't remember the phrase, but one word began with 'v') and steered her away from romantic love 'Ti amo.' 😁I do find them amusing as a couple.

moiraswigs · 20/07/2022 07:43

I'm another one warming to Andrew and Tasha after the last couple of days. Thought they had the best reactions to movie night too, Andrew wasn't allowing Luca to wind him up and the pair of them ended the night cuddling. The treatment of Tasha by Luca and Dami has been downright vicious and Luca's apology was as fake as his teeth. I'm glad Andrew is now seeing that they are total pricks too.

ijustcouldntthinkofausername · 20/07/2022 07:50

I've just caught up on the last 2 nights.
Omg Dami and Luca are bullies!
Danica is crying "not one single guy wants me" when Demi made it very clear he wants her, he told her she was wifey material, I thought this was nice.
I like Demi I think we should see more of him. He reminds me of Ovie from a previous series.
I actually feel a bit sorry for Tasha and Andrew now, Luca and Dami are targeting them, more so Tasha. I don't like that.
Paige seems smitten, Adam has massively grown up. I love watching ES and Davide but I fear once out the villa it won't last. George has come forward and confirmed something DID happen but has not been transparent. I wish she would just say what happened 😕
I've gone off Indiyah. She is seeing Dami through rose tinted lenses and, she's being silly now just letting him walk all over her.
Billy is gone tonight 100%.
Summer seems a nice girl but there's no one in for her yet. They will send another bombshell in yet though so who knows.

Not gonna lie, one hundred per cent.

I feel grubby for watching the shit show and wish I had the ovaries to just stop.

The 3 clear interventions behind the scenes tonight (Luca being made to apologise to Tasha, Dami ditto, Danica being forcefully "encouraged" to square up to Billy) just reiterate what we've all known all along - we the audience are being mugged off like muppets.

There were some highlights I suppose. The colossal irony of Gemma telling Danica to show Billy what a strong independent woman looks like. Eh? how would Gemma know given that she's happy to couple up with the foulest boy in there!

And of couse Dami coming in the bottom 2! Loved it, loved the shock on his and Indiyah's faces. Not that it will come to anything of course.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 20/07/2022 07:53

Another one warning to Tash and Andrew.

Lunificent · 20/07/2022 08:06

I’ve only watched earlier episodes as my diabetes and I decided to see what all the fuss was about. We were both concerned about Luca’s behaviour towards other contestants, even in those earlier episodes. I presume he’ll come out and blame the intensity of the situation for his behaviour and all will. be forgotten.

Lunificent · 20/07/2022 08:06

Why would daughter autocorrect to diabetes?!

Newpuppymummy · 20/07/2022 08:07

I honestly don’t know who I would vote for if Danica goes.all the couples I hate at least one of them and couldn’t bear to vote for them

Tirediam · 20/07/2022 08:11

@Lunificent that did make me laugh 😂

AdamRyan · 20/07/2022 08:13

Just following
I like Danica but she is very earnest- I have been wondering if she's ASD.
Billy is a knob
I dont really want any of them to win. Adam was such an idiot last time that I can't forgive him

HangingOver · 20/07/2022 08:14

Who the hell is voting for Luca seriously

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 20/07/2022 08:20

Though saying that-this season has been shite. Nothing real about it and bringing Adam back a low blow-why did he deserve a second chance after his behaviour? He seems determined to present himself differently this time but you can tell by his silly smug face that he knows what he’s doing.

DD asked me about two weeks in if she should bother and what it was like-I told her then no, it’s rubbish and the contestants are all horrible people and it feels a bit ick.
So why the fuck did I carry on watching after saying that?🤦‍♀️

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 20/07/2022 08:23

Why was Danica slating Billy for talking about the "salon" with the boys, when she had already chosen to spill the beans to the girls? Poor editing, or double standards?

Danica needs to go. Five blokes have said "nah", she needs to leave as she won't find a bloke now (and do some long hard thinking)

premiumbudget · 20/07/2022 08:33

Imagine if Tasha and Andrew won after all this.

I can't have Luca or Dami winning.

Paige I wouldn't mind but seems unfair for Adam to benefit coming in so late with all the pre Knowledge.

I really don't get the vibe that Davide is into Ekin but they have provided the entertainment value so would vote for them on that basis.

Summer seems lovely and is pretty but the American accent constantly is grinding my gears.

premiumbudget · 20/07/2022 08:34

marmiteadict · 20/07/2022 07:01

I hope that if Dami is even remotely upset about being in the bottom two that Tasha has the chance to remind him 'it's not what the public think' and he should be content Indyah is wearing your ring because that's what you came in for 😂

Yyyaaasss!

CarpyDiem · 20/07/2022 08:38

Newpuppymummy · 19/07/2022 22:38

I think Billy and Summer will go.

I am shocked Danica was in the bottom 2. I thought she was pretty popular

Yes, she has DD's vote, and DD was pretty stunned about the outcome (I know your use of SM reinforces your prejudices, but she's usually pretty good at assessing popularity even when it doesn't fit with her preferences)

adriftabroad · 20/07/2022 08:43

There were several comments from Islandersthat stood out to me, about Danicas loud voice.

adriftabroad · 20/07/2022 08:46

I think she will go, if they get to choose. I hate Luca so much, I am just hoping they are setting him up for a huge fall. Wish Dami would go, but he won[t. Gone off Indiyah alot. Gemma hasgone from impressive to... not. Smug.

I think he said "ti voglio bene", which is intimate - very caring/loving but platonic.

The more playful, could mean either, would be 'amore mio'

Horatioshelmet · 20/07/2022 09:08

Who’s the 5 who have rejected Danica?

Luca
Jay
Josh
