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!

@Zampa yea Damiyah were safe as they received no votes from the islanders!

Observations from the show tonight.

1. No one voted for Dami and Indiyah - likely as they have been in the bottom so not seen as a threat.

2. Gemma and Luca had a few votes so inside the Villa perhaps see that they are not as strong as Luca wants us to believe. All picking up on Lucas controlling nature.
   Starting to think Luca has narcissistic tendencies as he could not even comprehend why anyone would possibly vote for them.

3. Andrew and Tasha came across the most genuine in their considerations.

4. Adam and Paige are a bore fest.

5. Davide and Ekin Su are questionable but as they have provided most of the entertainment factor they deserve to be there in the final.

I would absolutely love Luca to be voted off but I suspect Adam and Paige.

Ekin & Davide - 4 votes
Gemma & Luca - 3 votes
Adam & Paige - 2 votes
Tasha & Andrew - 1 vote
Indiyah & Demi - 0 votes

Bloody perplexing this one. Why would all 4 be in the vote?! Make it make sense!

I agree with Xela that Ekin and Davide didn’t sound tactical, to me. Neither did Tandrew. Indiyah and Paige didn’t either but Dami and Adam are always snakey.

I’ve really gone off Gemma - nothing to do with this vote. She’s just a bit mean and miserable. I don’t blame her for not slavering over Luca obviously but is she ever just not rolling her eyes or scoffing at something?

And I mean, if she’s saying she loves him - regardless of whether it’s true - shouldn’t she be acting like it? That date was painful to watch. If he hadn’t behaved like such a knob, I’d feel sorry for Luca tbh. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Picoloangel I agree, it been done this way so Ekinde and Gemma and Luca are in the final as I bet it's Paige and Adam who will go now.

That’s what I think too. I like Padam; they’ve been stitched up.

Thanks @xelam and @LilacLaurel

The Ekinde votes look tactical but presumably the other islanders don't know they're popular so it must be down to the earlier arguments.

Yes throughout the whole episode he seems like he has checked out. Boyfriend regret perhaps?

I agree about Gemma. She's 19 and has everything - why is she so miserable all the time? Their date was painful (as was their previous date on the beach) and she's definitely not into him. I don't get why she would want to fake it? She doesn't need him. But he deserves how she treats him. I'm glad she's not fawning over him like Paige over Adam 🤮

Dami is definitely not that into Indiyah.

The producers don't give a shite. Its always been manipulated. They know people will just tune in again next year.

Agree they're saving Luca and Gemma.

Very tactical voting from some of them which is to be expected. Its pretty obvious though that Gemma does not consider ES a friend. I'd say apart from appearances and magazine shoots she's paid to be in, she'll lose contact with most of them very quickly.

Bless you for thinking they care if you have it sussed

I noticed that Dami seemed checked out. Not sure if it’s Indiyah-specific or if he’s just over the whole thing. Who knows from one day though…he could have just eaten something dodgy or slept poorly or something.

I want Davide & Ekin Su to win.

I don't even care if they are a proper couple or not.

I don't like Luca at all & don't think Genma does either.

I don't think Adam has any real interest in Paige & she seems bitchy at times.

I like Dami up until the way she spoke to Summer& Indyiah. Plus his farting is disgusting. He also looks very bored.

Andrew & Tasha is a dysfunctional mess.

At least Davide & Ekin Si are entertaining, having fun & are consistently themselves from the start.

Dami strikes me as the type of person who wants what he can’t get
He is definitely attracted to Indiyah, but now that she has feelings for him he seems to have checked out.

Also think that Dami is just tired of the whole thing

What I don't get with the producers is why manipulate the vote?

Yes Micheal Owen is famous but he's not powerful. If the public dont vote for Gemma then clearly shes not bringing in views. The whole point of a public vote is it shows who the public like and therefore who they want to watch and buy things from etc on the outside

Why make it so bloody obvious you dont want Gemma out?

This series would have been so much better if the votes had been more natural. No more celebrity offspring in future please, it was the same with dani dyer

I was thinking about this earlier @Carrotzen . Who would pretty little thing most like to give a deal to?

Not Gemma, as she is now, I don’t think. She has her own swimwear line already.

Maybe they do want Gemma out. But couldn’t risk giving the vote to the islanders to decide (for bottom two) in case they tried to send Ekin home instead.

Just caught up. When Luca was about to text their vote and said 'Okay?', Gemma seemed to say something like 'not for me' but by then he'd sent it. And she went, 'Oh...ok', as if she hadn't agreed the choice.

Did I hear that right?

PLT will want a model surely and thats Tasha? Although I've just typed PLT models into Google images and they' don't appear to favour natural beauty and Tasha is too pretty to be one of their models tbh.

Probably Paige is most like what they have already?

Do they really get a say in it? Or do they just choose the woman they want or do they have to choose the winner? I can't see Gemma modelling for them? Unless they take on her brand?

Do they all model for plt after? Millie won and she doesn’t really have a model look or plt look

Love island manipulation at its finest tonight.

I think she just said it's horrible or something. But yeah it was all his choice anyway

Just finished watching and also confused why all 4 are in the vote 🤔 shouldn’t it just be the two with the most votes, I find it interesting most of them seemed to think Paige and Adam was more likely to last than ekin and Davide!
