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

I forgot how boring the dates are. All the insincere gushing and sudden declarations of love. Then we have to hear it all again at the debriefs. This year feels more fake than previous years. Very few natural moments. I think ekin and Davide like each other, but they are not at the I love you stage. Trying to force it came across as uncomfortable.
Adam is playing to win, not sure how invested Paige is either. I do think indyah likes Dami but don't think it will last.

I do think 19 is too young for love island. As if Gemma is looking for a husband. Should be 25+ I think.

They know the format have seen it before and the potential success when out so they are just going through the motions.

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?!

Totally agree about Andrew and Tasha, in comes across as a huge contrast when you see the looks on other people's faces, especially Luca's.

Oysterbabe · 29/07/2022 08:27

I'm gutted they are dragging the dates over 2 episodes 😩 So dull.

A580Hojas · 29/07/2022 08:34

Every conversation between Adam and Paige is him saying something and her agreeing with him. I think she's a bit star-struck and hasn't even begun to think about whether she would actually want to be in a relationship with him. If she thought a little harder - it would be a big fat NO. There's no way a leopard changes his spots like that, absolutely no way on earth.

A580Hojas · 29/07/2022 08:38

I fervently don't want Dami or Luca to win. I don't think Adam deserves to win. So then it's down to Ekin-Su & Davide or Andrew & Tasha. Given that I don't have the soft spot for ES & Davide that so many of you seem to have (I find their bickering tedious and not a good sign) my vote is going to have to go to Andrew & Tasha.

When really I wanted it to be Deji and someone. Oh well.

Picoloangel · 29/07/2022 08:48

I don’t get the Ekin Su love either. Davide is funny but Ekin Su is as fake as her lips! That whole fake crying last night was so cringeworthy. There was not even an atom of a tear despite her trying to squeeze one out!

I like Paige but I agree that Adam is in it to win it. I don’t believe he’s changed his spots either unfortunately.

Tasha and Andrew might actually last.

PancakesWithCheese · 29/07/2022 08:59

I thought that.

’100%, 100%’ parrots Paige at everything Adam says.

Newpuppymummy · 29/07/2022 09:00

I didn’t even watch. I won’t bother on catch up. So they only have two nights left before the final? There’s only 4 couples in the final so two go tonight? When will the parents come in? Sunday? When will they do the prom thing?

I think I’m going to vote for Tasha & Andrew, too for all the same reasons. Except it’s I just don’t believe E-S & Davide are genuine at all.

I would love Indiyah to win, and I do think their relationship is nice at times. But Demi’s attitude towards Tasha and his misogynistic ways is too off putting.

Andrew obviously did some wrongs, but he seems to have had such a good turn around and is standing up for Tasha and the other girls.

Also Tasha has said she would donate her money to charity if she won. I actually hope she’s discussed that with Andrew. Steals it. And then donates it all.

AbsoluteShambles · 29/07/2022 10:34

Is it weird that D and ES haven’t been to the hideaway? I feel like they’d usually have been in by the end but I’m not sure I can really remember.

I think there's a lot that has been barely used and must have cost a fortune, such as the hideaway and the hot tub.

BiscoffSundae · 29/07/2022 10:42

I was thinking that last night I would have liked to see Davide and ekin get to use the hideaway, seems all the other couples have (apart from Adam but he hasn’t been there long enough anyway and Paige already used it with Jacques )

Presumably she meant donate £25K. It isn’t fair to tell Andrew how to spend his money. She has been an inspiration and has raised awareness for young people with hearing loss.

CrossStitch87 · 29/07/2022 10:45

I think Gemma is over this.

WeneedtotalkaboutBrunobaby · 29/07/2022 10:52

CrossStitch87 · 29/07/2022 10:45

Wouldn’t blame her. He’s making digs at her too for looking miserable but all said ‘in jest’.

I think sulking is one of the most unattractive qualities in a partner and he’s a sulker.

Oysterbabe · 29/07/2022 11:02

I think Tasha and Andrew are genuine. They definitely seem to be at it every night anyway. I'm voting for them to win.
I like Davide but I can't shake the feeling that ES, the actress, is playing a role.

BiggerBoat1 · 29/07/2022 11:03

😂at Ekin's fake tears.

I'd rather have had a date with Alfie Boe than any of that lot.

BiscoffSundae · 29/07/2022 11:07

I don’t care if ekin is fake still want her and Davide to win think they are all fake really Andrew ditched Tasha pretty quick and same for her when they had the chance.

She did, yes. But I’m wondering whether he would be happy to do the same.

BiggerBoat1 · 29/07/2022 11:25

Maybe Gemma and Luca's date will be horse riding to give her the upper hand.

Great shout. Would love that.

Yamyam13 · 29/07/2022 12:31

I can't being myself to watch the final dates episodes... so I'm relying on you brilliant people to let us know of anything key we need to know outside of the date fake bullshite.
Thanks, i'd buy you a drink IRL xxx

Prinnny · 29/07/2022 12:35

I can’t make my mind up about Davide and ES, I start to think they’re genuine but then I remember she’s an actress and he has dented male pride. I think if they do win my anxiety will be off the scale waiting for him to steal the cash whilst shouting Ekin Su is a liarrrrrr and an actresssss 🙈🙈🙈
