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!

Davide and ES want to bang, they don't want to actually have to talk to each other.

I too think Gemma is over it. I get the impression she now just wants to be out of there and back home with her family. However, we're only being shown a few minutes out of her 24hrs, so for all we know she could be smiling, laughing, the life and soul of the villa at other times (though I doubt it).

It's surprising how many ex-contestants from this year are saying Luca is being misrepresented. Summer, Coco and Deji have all come out and said he's really nice, friendly and supportive in the villa. I think he does have a big jealous streak, but I wonder how much the producers have jumped on the public perception and are picking out the little bits that portray him at his worst.

Jay has said he hated the morning debriefs they had to give about their night. I agree it's all far too scripted and stage managed now, and you can't believe a moment of what you're being shown on tv.

I want him to keep the cash. I don't like her and it will be the most exciting thing to happen in the whole series.

@Prinnny that would be the best finale ever. I’m trying to manifest it 😂🤣

Just seen Daily Mail sneak peeks of the other two dates and it mentions that the islanders are going to vote for the least compatible couple!!!

That would be both awful and funny.

From what we've seen, the original cast didn't mix with the CA crowd. They weren't even invited to the morning chats. I'd imagine if Luca even said hello, it was more than the others said.

Least compatible couple. How I'd LOVE if they said Gemma and Luca.

My predictions -

Luca and Dami will say Ekin Su and Davide. They've already had to apologise to Tasha and Andrew so will be threading carefully around them.

Tasha and Andrew will say Ekin Su and Davide because they are scared of backlash from Luca and Dami and will say ES and D are argue a lot.

Ekin Su and Davide will say Dami and India and offer geography as the reason?

I think an easy win for them all would be to say Paige and Adam on the basis that they’ve known each other for the least amount of time. In fact the least compatible are Luca and Gemma but Nono do them will dare say that

None of!

I agree! Though also if @WeneedtotalkaboutBrunobaby predictions are correct, and I think it's possible, the ES and Davide could be going home! I can't see that going down well though I may be wrong.

What's the situation with the money? Can someone decide not to share? It's the first season I've watched!

I completely forgot about Paige and Adam - that’s how little effect they have on me!

Going to watch the neighbours finale tonight!!!!

I'll record love island and skip through the boring dates.

Hope they do vote on which couples are least incompatible - might liven things up a bit!

He's 48 ! Very well known for musical theatre [Les Miserables etc], so I'm surprised ES didn't know him , Gemma did !

I've liked the other series of Love Island but this one really isn't very interesting, it's had its day.

There is nothing genuine between Ekin and Davide. They are angling for post show fame. They do have sexual tension and I am sure they will hook up post show but Ekin will barely give him another look once the Ekinde opportunities fade. 13 year olds love them but any adult can see they are all strategy.

Tonight is two dates and then a least compatible couple vote amongst the Islanders. Be interesting to see who is voted for.

I think Davide and Ekin could be up for their arguments, Tash and Andrew for their ups and downs and Adam and Paige because Adam Collard is Adam Collard

I'm starting to wonder if Gemma has a clause in her contract stating that she has to win. D+E are the bookies' favourites by miles at the moment, and this "least compatible" puts them at real risk.

No, I don't think they go that far.

But yes, I do think that some are on deals that they will reach the final

In this case, I think that it's Gemma, Davide and maybe Adam

I've heard of Alfie Boe but would never recognise him in the flesh. I don't watch much TV, believe it or not.

Paige and Adam are an easy vote for the other couples to pick as they have known each other for the least amount of time. Plus Adam's reputation!

Davide and Ekin-Su have lots of arguments but they always make up.

Dami and Indiyah have the issue of them both decoupling during Casa Amor. Also Dami being unpleasant and they're from two different countries.

Same with Tasha and Andrew and 'the tits and the boobs' as Davide put it. They've had the pre Casa issues too. However they do seem more solid now.

Gemma and Luca have the issue of Luca being possessive and sulky and he's clearly not on board with Gemma's position that they can't become 'exclusive' or 'boyfriend and girlfriend' until Luca has met her mum (I suppose they could do this during the fake wedding vows scene during the final, after the meet the parents episode).

As both couples have to pick two other couples, I think all of them, or most of them could be at risk. From memory last year Aaron (the second) and Mary were ones who got least compatible votes and they got really annoyed and argumentative with the others about it. When they were dumped not long after they split within days of leaving the villa!

Give us some credit please.

Im in my 40s and really don’t care if ES and Davide aren’t ‘in llove’, None of the couples are genuine. Ekin and Davide have been the most entertaining by far this year. All the couples are there to win and for post show fame. It’s a game show. ES and Davide come across as being quite nice unlike most of the others tbh. They have rowed with each other but not with others (The Natalia thing was staged). They are funny and entertaining and understand why they are there.

None of the others have come across so well. Tasha and Andrew have had a tough time in there, especially Tasha, and it’s nice to see her bloom.

Im sure the £25K is buttons to any of them once the contracts flow in.
For that reason I don’t care if Ekin, Davide or Tasha, Andrew win but I would not like to see Dami or Luca hailed as winners after their bullying and misogynistic behaviour. And Adam already had his time in there and shouldn’t have been brought back in.

@WeneedtotalkaboutBrunobaby I agree with everything you have said about ES and Davide, I'm not voting for them because I think they are genuine, just because they have brought the most entertainment imo. I don't think any of the couples will last so it would be stupid to base my vote on that.

If Ekin and Davide get chosen as one of the couples then whoever is up against them is in real trouble.

Love them or hate them, they have a large public support and are odds on to win.

My concern will be if they are up against Andrew and Tasha. I really think they are sweet together. Yes, Andrew had his Coco shenanigans and Tasha was a bit indecisive bit that's all over imo.

Wouldn't care about any of the other three being up against them although I do want to see Luca and Gemma's family meet.

Ekin's brother seems good value so I also want to see that

I'm exactly the same. I've never seen him perform as it wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I know who he is and have even seen advertisements for his performances in central London, but I wouldn't recognise him.

@WeneedtotalkaboutBrunobaby

I think we agree. They are good TV. I just don't think they are genuine and likely they will get some votes for not being compatible from their roommates!

They are all desperate to win so likely to vote their biggest competitors off surely.

Im not sure Luca and Gemma will get votes because the islanders seem to think they are so popular on the outside. Maybe they are popular?

There will be tactical voting. Luca, for example, along with Dami, are out to win and get ES and D out, as they are the strongest couple.

D&I should go IMO or P&A, G&L.

Not ES&D or A&T.

BTW, I like @Aquarius1234 and do not see what she has done wrong. I also love to hate this tosh.
