Love island No9 thirsty and/or wild...here for the final ride!

[TitsInAbsentia]

TANDREW OR EKIDNE FOR THE WIN!

So how many episodes left?

We're going to have to sit through montages on each and every couples journey, aren't we? Ugh

That prospect is tending to confirm my preference for ED/Davide, as they're the only watchable ones. And I think they do like each other (I think all their later bust ups were so easily resolved that they were playing to the crowd - almost as if they are having a private joke with the world)

I do wish someone amongst the producers had told them you drink a toast not do a cheers. And that people say here’s to a brilliant future, or whatever, rather than cheers to the downfall of Luca - or whatever. I don’t care if that sounds elitist; they’ve been mangling a simple thing for weeks now, and it grates.

What are peoples prediction for tonight then? I'm thinking
4th Dami and Indiyah
3rd Tasha and Andrew
2nd Gemma and Luca
1st ES and Davide

I would prefer Tandrew to come 2nd and struggling to call it between them and Gemma/Luca but that's my final answer!

Just watched first look. Davide looks gorgeous in his suit "woof, woof, woof" as the turtle would say.

The girls all look beautiful, loved Gemma's dress. Indiyah's dress looks far too much like a wedding dress though!

I think 4th indiyah and Dami, 3rd Gemma and Luca, 2nd Tasha and Andrew, 1st Davide and ekin su

@BiscoffSundae yes that's the result I would prefer

I’m thinking 4th Tasha & Andrew, 3rd Dami Indiyah 2nd Gem/Luca & 1st Davide/Ekin

i think Luca & Dami just need to go!

Just caught up. Agree with everyone Luca is just a nasty person. He realised he and Gemma were only one who voted for tash and Andrew and was probably furious about that too. I would find him exhausting!!! He seemed so disinterested in his folks. Maybe that's the edit though.

Tashas dad, what a legend. The love just radiated off him. Davide's family very lovely too.

Just seen first look. Has Gemma and Ekin ever done anything different with their hair? It's always in the same style. I've seen ekin tie hers up in the day but Gemma doesn't. She must get so hot!!!!

Oh and I voted Tasha and Andrew. They seem to be genuine from what we've seen!

Gemma often has her hair tied back 🤔

@FiloPasty I think you have called it there. My preference is:

1. ES + Davide

1. Tash + Andrew
2. Dami + Indiyah
3. Gemma + Luca

I think, however, Gemma and Luca will squeeze in second.

Aha! I’ve found something Gemma and Luca have in common - neither of them seem to need to dress for extreme heat.

Presumably the dormitory bedroom has air conditioning, but Luca’s often the only one in there in a hoody suitable for an English Autumn.

And Gemma’s ball gown is positively Wintery.

You can never know for sure but there was an authenticity about that bullying video to me. She sounded believable. I think Luca has probably always run with the 'beautiful people' and has a tendency to be instrumental in creating cliques.

I do wonder though, with his mum and dad if he was trying to hold back tears a lot - which is why he was quite subdued and kept looking away.

Apparently Josh said the atmosphere in the villa is always like Year 11 at school when the teacher leaves the classroom which I found believable.

I[m hoping the same as biscoff

I think you could be right although I'd actually want Tasha to be 1st or 2nd

Are you watching the final live this evening?

@BiscoffSundae does she? Must have missed it. I've seen her have it up a few times in the evening but I always notice it down when they're sunbathing etc. i only say it because I have similar hair and am impressed she doesn't get hot with it all down!

I'm saying 4) Dami and Indiyah 3) Tasha and Andrew ( but could go either way with them two couples) 2) Gemma and Lucas 1) Ekin Su and Davide

I don't think anyones gonna steal

I hope I'm wrong but I still think Luca and Gemma could win this courtesy of Fiat 500 girls. The anti-Lemma vote is too split to counter their popularity.

My predicted placings are as below (with some wishful thinking).

1. Damiyah
2. Tandrew
3. Lemma
4. Ekinde

Watching live tonight with a couple of gins and a bag of doritos.

I tell you what, there isn't a lot of love for Lucy on Twitter, let's hope that carries through on the votes - I'd love them to go out 4th, Gemma could totally handle it because she'll see how people don't have much beef with her.

I though Paige's mum and dad were awful - really unkind and unloving towards her. They could have said something nice such as we are so proud of you or something, even if they disapprove of Adam. Instead her mum seemed to suggest Jaques was a better choice. The Dad was just unkind. She looked crest-fallen and then hid it from the rest of the villa which was so sad. It spoke volumes to me about why she's always seemed so insecure despite being stunning and a kick-ass paramedic. She hides her insecure feelings with bubbliness. She seems to go for arsehole men when she could have had lovely mature Jay. She probably goes for men who treat her like shit just like her Dad.

Everyone loved her mum but I thought the same I would be a bit disappointed if my mum said that to me

First time ever, since I started watching this show, that I’m not watching the final. Literally couldn’t care less. I can’t stand Ekin. She’s one of those women that would be really hard work in your friendship group and tinkly laughs every time a man is around.

it occurred to me that Gemma and her Mum may have had a code word/phrase. I totally would if my DD was in there. “See how you feel on the outside” might have meant “We don’t like him” 🤷‍♀️

I'd be happy as if that was their code phrase! Wonder if Gemma also had one to say to her mum 'don't worry, dropping this jerk soon as!'

Paige mum weren’t that bad. She said she didn’t like that Adam fella. Paige dad is probably embarrassed she on on LI. What do people want the parents to say ? Yes you are doing a fantastic job going from man to man and being horrible to the other girls (if what other islanders are saying is true). Paige is getting loads of stick on Twitter and isn’t very popular.

I think this too! 👀
