Love Island thread 8..."while I'm gone...I don't want peace, I WANT PROBLEMS!"

[TitsInAbsentia]

Sadness at the removal of the only entertaining bloke in the place....we'll miss you Deji!

This episode is just absolute yawnsville. Ekin and Davide are the fakest couple in there IMO. He’s not into her at all, she won’t see him for dust as soon as they leave the villa. Just ew.

Ha ha

So we think Ekin and Davide equally aren't into each other romantically?. For tv etc
Does any think Paige is faking with Adam?

All these couples are fake.
The least fake is Tasha and Andrew despite their previous issues

So, are Gemma & Luca and Tash & Andrew having their dates tomorrow, or did I miss them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I did have E&D as my favourite couple until their 'date' now I'm in no doubt that D couldn't be less interested.
I can't imagine the young uns voting for them anyway, they seem like a pair of middle aged divorcees to me (a middle aged divorcee).

A&T for me now, I think they are the most genuine.

I imagine so, they must be the producers favourites so will get the best dates and the most airtime.
It's going to be so boring!

Gluca are going to muck out some stables and Tandrew are washing dishes at the local Tapas bar....well surely there's no money left now!

I think Davide and Ekin (but especially him) are actually just kind of awkward rather than fake. Maybe I’m just being too much of a romantic but I’m going to buy into it for now. 😂

I tell you what I like about Tasha and Andrew - they are both genuinely thrilled for other people when they’re happy, loved up, etc. You can see their enthusiasm and smiles are real. I like that in a person.

Other than that, not a lot to say tonight is there?!

I find Tasha and Andrew cringe and very much dislike Andrew.
Tasha seems invisible nowadays.

I think one improvement they could make for next series is to make it purely public vote - no more the contestants saving their 'friends'

And more votes for individuals, not couples, so that there's more mingling in the early weeks

Is this site refreshing slowly for everyone else too?

If it isn't fake, Davide will be angry about Ekin su's manhandling George and will split then.

Dami seems really subdued on his date. Is he going off Indiyah?

I think the only genuine couple are Tash and Andrew. Paige might like Adam but it’s not reciprocated

Why did Dami keep referring to Ekin-Su performance for their final date?

Insinuating it's all an act?!

You should watch the Aussie version. They make the contestants make awful choices against each other!

He kept making digs to remind us all that he is a prick. Luca stared her up and down when she returned from the date too.

Presumably they see her as competition. I like to think that its possible Ekin told Gemma that Luca gaslights her and Gemma reported it back to Luca. Can only hope I suppose......

I'm thankful I was able to fast forward that episode and manage to reduce it to twenty mins.

Not sure if Davide and ES are 'in love' but other than Tasha and Andrew (whose youth make them believe they are in love at least), neither Dami and India or Page and Adam even think it themselves. Gemma isn't (I hope) and I don't give a toss what Luca believes or says.

Ia it normal for so many contestants to say they are in love?

I think Tasha and Andrew at least think they are. Dami does not love Indiya. Last week he was snogging Summer, he was eyeing up Tasha in the challenge the other day and is always flirting with Paige

Paige and Adam will barely make it out of the airport

I still think Ekin Su and Davide have something, not love but they at least want to shag

Gemma is not into Luca she's just waiting to leave

I still think Adam/Paige fakest couple, though they all are to some extent. Though I suspect Andrew genuinely likes Tasha. Ekin and Davide, yes, fake, but at least they've entertained us a bit, in my opinion anyway.

To be fair to Davide and ES I would not know what to do or say when faced with a personal performance by Alfie Boe

Paige seems to say the same things to Adam that she said to Jacques only a couple of weeks ago.
Davide does seem unsure around E-S and really does like her lots.

yep I get the ick too - he is trying hard

"I think Adam is one of the fakest there, so that's some accolade 😅. He also gives me the ick though (sorry can't think of a better word) for some reason. I don't know why."

Gemma has the slapped arse face again...not that I blame her! She's obviously sick to death of Luca and the villa and can't wait to get out.

She's 19 FFS. This should be the start of her dating life, not having some creep like Luca trying to get her to say she'd have his children.

He's a bloody good ad for vasectomies, though.

I kind of get that impression too. They seem to genuinely enjoy each other.

I was just thinking about Jacques. What happened to him when he left the villa. Is he still intent on meeting up with Paige again? He must have his 'fans' pushing the vote for Luca button too I guess.

Gemma's parents would be doing her a favour if they didn't plead for people to vote for her. If she wins, she's stuck with Luca for guest appearances and whatever contract they get tied into - coverage of moving in together/their first holiday in the sun, their first everything. If they don't win, she can sever the ties quickly, and use the publicity for herself.

Does anyone else think the gushing Insta comments are totally fake?
