@marmiteadict 👏🏼 😂

I find it kind of fascinating that Gemma and Tasha's parent might become friends through this.

anybloodyname · 20/07/2022 13:08

I've got bored of the lot of them ...

Even the good bits just make me sad

Ohh I felt so sorry for Danica when she said ‘not a single person has wanted to get to know me’ and crying. My confidence would be in tatters. I kind of don’t want her to go and end the experience on that note but there’s only a couple of weeks left so not sure if that’s long enough to turn things around.

Billy is definitely gone but can’t call it for the girls.

I do feel for danica it must be so horrible being in there and constantly publicly rejected, I don’t think it’s happened to one of the girls this much before? I know dr Alex and Hugo but can’t remember one of the girls being constantly rejected like this, it’s probably best for her to leave now as I don’t think things will get better and I don’t think she is attracted to Deji so you can’t force something. Saying that I wouldn’t mind if summer went as I can’t warm to her and the American accent is awful which puts me off her. Yesterday with Tasha was very uncomfortable and I agree it’s just bullying now and it’s nasty to watch.

I remember Kaz being rejected a lot a few years back- I think she managed it better as she wasn’t quite so awkward with men, but there was a string of bombshells coming in, claiming to be interested in her (presumably because she was quite popular), talking about what a great personality she had, then moving on with someone else

Reece has a touch of the Cristiano Ronaldo’s about him.

WhenDovesFly · 20/07/2022 13:58

Nathalia looks cute and agree about Reece having a touch of CR about him.

jay55 · 20/07/2022 14:01

Samira got passed over and over again, stuck in a friend couple with for alex for ages.

Hope the newbies have some chat.

Aquarius1234 · 20/07/2022 14:04

Maybe Danica should join in with Adam and Paige, I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
A la Trigonometry.

Before she went in, Tasha said if she were to win, she would donate half her prize money to the deaf children’s charity.

AngeloMysterioso · 20/07/2022 14:09

Yamyam13 · 20/07/2022 11:29

And agree @Aquarius1234 on her range of accents. Always an indicator to me that someone is quite insecure in themselves, so they adjust their voice to fit in - with added actress vibes.

Not necessarily, my accent can go from Downton Abbey posh to backwater Ireland in no time at all depending on who I’m with. It’s not something I do consciously, it just happens…

Aquarius1234 · 20/07/2022 14:10

Going in LI for a week sounds rubbish.

riotlady · 20/07/2022 14:19

Weirdly Reece looks quite a bit like a character called Reese from Love Island The Game (yes I’ve played it! No shame! 😂)

Yeah mine is all over the show throughout the course of a day. (Northerner who has lived elsewhere for 12+ years.)

I also subconsciously speak more clearly with people who speak a different native language - e.g. Davide.

I do think it’s a shame that Tasha’s hearing impairment hasn’t been mentioned at all- I’m not saying it should have been a massive deal and singled her out, but surely at some point she must have casually mentioned it or explained things to other islanders and it hasn’t been shown at all.

It feels like on tv people with disabilities either get to be all about their disability, representing people, look at the struggle, etc OR they don’t get acknowledged and have to be just like everyone else. There’s no room for a middle ground where we’re just whole people who sometimes have some difficulties but aren’t constant “inspirations”

It was mentioned. She explained it on the first day. She was very nervous and has overcome so much to get where she is.

It makes the bullying even worse.

Can you imagine someone with a cane being bullied continuously. There would be outrage. The bullies would be kicked off. Luca and Dami need to go. There is absolutely no way they should go into any final, smug in the knowledge they bullied their way there. They are disgusting.

All nice and generic looking, and sounding...

"Jamie, 27, is a professional footballer (GROAN), who claims that when he shoots, he ‘usually scores’ (DOUBLE GROAN)… so let’s see if his success rate translates to the villa.

Lacey, a 25-year-old dancer (ANOTHER ONE!), describes herself as a ‘sexy, single, show girl ready to turn some heads’, while 23-year-old Brazilian social media influencer Nathalia is looking forward to bringing ‘the South American spice into the villa’.

Lastly, Reece, 23, a model from Coventry, believes he may pose a threat to the boys. ‘I definitely think the boys are going to be worried about me, I am tall, dark and handsome, what more does a girl want?’"

I think Tasha is probably even better looking in RL and Luca hasn’t got over her picking Andrew over him. Andrew is spineless unfortunately otherwise he’d have stood up to L a long time ago. It’s this weakness in A that has made T waiver in whether he’s a good long term choice. All the boys showed an interest in T initially.

L is into G because of what she’s got outside LI. He’s as fake as they come. Possessive sh*t stirrer who’s making sure he hangs onto G to the very end. I think G is OK but this sort of character is difficult for any 19yr old to handle easily. Personally I think she’s too young for the show and it’s this sort of emotional mess that can be seriously upsetting and hard to navigate when you’re that young.

Yes sorry, I didn’t explain myself very well- I meant mentioned in a casual way since then. It was an announcement at the beginning and then never really acknowledged again (by the producers, I assume it has inside the villa) It would have been nice to just see it mentioned as a normal thing in conversation, beyond the “reveal”, if you see what I mean.

Possibility for the footballer to make a beeline for Gemma, maybe?

doings · 20/07/2022 14:53

Summer or Danica? Hard this one as there’s little time left to make a solid couple.
Agree that Summer is stunning and maybe she should stay to try her luck but then who’s for Deji? He deserves a bit more than friend zoning.
I think although the whole LI experience has been pretty crap for Danica she’ll probably have a lot more luck on the outside and be encouraged by the lot of love that had been shown for her in RL

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 20/07/2022 14:53

Did Tasha pie Luca in the first week, I remember Andrew lying saying that Luca said she wasn’t in his top 3 but from recollection he was always more into Paige and Gemma.
