Love Island Winter 2023 pre-series discussion

[Peasepuddingbloodycold]

Looks like Love Island producers have announced that participants' social media will be locked whilst the programme airs. (Looking for reliable source, so far I can only find tabloid stories).
I hope it's true, I think it's needed.

No, Zara is just being straightforward and Olivia can't deal with being second choice.

Olivia could choose to move on and be content with Haris (who she claims to like but clearly doesn't - now that's two faced).

I'm liking this series so far - DRAMA!

I like Lana and would love someone real to come in and genuinely seeep her off her feet.

Don't like Zara or Tanyel. Agree that Zara looks totally different to when she arrived. The power of makeup and hair pieces!

Has Haris had heart surgery? He has a long scar suggesting so.

I am not putting myself onLove island though am i?

Exactly

If being straightforward involves naming you as “two-faced” then that’s bitchy.

But that was in a challenge? Someone had to be chosen.

Tbh I think they've brought something into the villa from outside as this kind of reaction from Olivia isn't normal, especially when Zara apologised twice.

Zara has the most over-inflated ego of all the islanders. Also I find the way she says HA HA HA after every sentence really irritating.

I like Olivia but she definitely has this front covering up insecurities (eg the way she constantly talks about being the oldest). She was a bit of an idiot to think Tom wasn't telling Zara what she wanted to hear. Come on.

I hope someone sweeps Lana off her feet and away from Ron because clearly at the moment he thinks he can string her along and he hasn't had to work for anything yet.

I don’t like Zara or Tanyel I think they’re both bitchy mean girls and would hate to have friends like them!

I don’t trust Ron either, Lana deserves better! Don’t really get the point of having the Aussies, isn’t the point of the point to make a long lasting connection not just have a holiday fling with someone who lives on the other side of the world…

Olivia is obsessed with Zara
The problem seems to be that Olivia is intimidated by Zara.
Tom prefers Zara to Olivia

according to my 20 year old daughter, Zara and Olivia know each other from outside the villa!

Yes, that is what I read

Tom reminds me of Joel Dommett

I’m not keen on either Olivia or Zara, but I do agree with Olivia that it seems like Zara has targeted Olivia since she went it. Yes she had to pick someone in the challenge but she chose Olivia and then went after the boy she was coupled up with. It could be coincidence but I think not. I also heard that they know each other outside the villa (they’ve commented on each other’s IG) so makes me wonder if this “friction” between them has been planned?

I don’t like the way Zara keeps saying to Olivia that she’s not had a relationship before implying that she’s inexperienced and therefore lacking. She’s said it to her a few times which is her getting personal, despite her professing it’s nothing personal.

I agree with all of this. Also why does Zara clap in time to making a point - I HATE. when people do this.

Yes it's real, just found it on insta. Bear in mind though this is from over two years ago...I guess a lot could have happened since but a bit weird to not let on you know each other even if from a way back.

I like Ron but he's got a bloody cheek effectively expecting two girls to hang around in hope until he makes up his mind [and assesses his chances with the new girl].

I know what I'd do if I was Lana.

First look is up and Lordy, does Zara get territorial or what...!

There is definitely no love lost between Zara and Olivia...

Yes after watching First Look, Zara and Olivia are either very good at acting or truly dislike each other

I heard that, but does commenting on fit influencers on Instagram actually mean you've met in real life?

Olivia - boring ice queen who has shown little personality and is surprised that in a villa full of more cheerful women, someone might like one of them more than her.

Don’t see how Zara has done anything wrong here.

Will is very very camp. Curtis vibes.

Yes Olivia is quite dull.

I feel like she is really self conscious of everything that comes out her mouth.

I have a feeling Zara might quit or be thrown out.
Not enough room for the both of them oddly...

I swear Will’s voice has gotten about 300% camper from the first episode til now.

Bless him, I wonder if he went to private school? He reminds me of a couple of guys I went to uni with who had been in all boys schools their whole education and hadn’t really interacted much with women. It seemed to come out as a slightly odd mixture of a bit camp + obsessed with finding a girlfriend.
