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.

I don’t buy the Jessie Will thing either, I’m having flashbacks of her being drama chasing and a multiple recoupler in the Aussie series so I’m calling fraud!

The only thing I can find about Zara is from a Twitter account with 3 followers so I'm thinking they made it up for likes.

@Zampa Yeah I've just had a look and couldn't find anything either!

Hoping it's not true as I want her and Olivia to stay in as they bring the drama. I think we need a new female bombshell who is properly stunning to test the boys, namely Tom and Ron as they're both coming across as flakey

Voted Zara. But she will probably be Voted out.

Anna Mae and Harris to go

i thought Zara was in the wrong tonight. As Lana said, technically, Zara took Olivia’s man and that was the first chance Olivia and Tom had to debrief and see where each of them stood. And that’s nowt to do with Zara. She was so possessive.

Im not buying Will and Jessie either. She liked Tom way more.

I’m still team Lana and Ron.

I think this could be right. They're both in the background and it would leave Kai to get back with Tanyel and Olivia with Aaron.

I wonder if there will be any islanders get to choose votes this season.

Because the type of guys they pick for the show aren't the type who like dark skinned girls. Of course they're out there, but they dont pick them for LI. Black men ate more likely to, which is why we always see the black contestants together.

Because the type of guys they pick for the show aren't into dark skinned women. Of course they're out there, but the producers don't pick them. Black men are more likely to be into dark skinned women, that's why they always seem to end up together.

I remember a previous contestant saying how awkward that was and that they were made to do it.

? I'm just seeing Pob....

I have just read that Haris has been dumped from the Villa - I think to do with footage of him fighting with someone in the street a while back

Just checked the daily fail and it's on there. Some quotes below for anyone who refuses to go to their page (I don't like DF but I knew it would be on there!).

"After the video emerged on Snapchat, it was published by The Sun. A friend of Haris' told the publication: 'We were all surprised when we heard Haris was going on Love Island, he's got quite a bit of a temper on him and if someone says something he's more than prepared to have a fight."

"I'm surprised ITV didn't do further checks, I saw the row between him and Shaq and wasn't surprised in the slightest. That's the type of guy he is. What you see is what you get. "

"On Instagram, Haris often shares snaps and videos of himself training in the boxing ring, as well as showing off his talents in his fights at Steel City Gym.

After the video emerged, bosses issued a statement following reports Haris' future involvement in the show hangs by 'the thinnest of threads'.
A representative for Love Island said: 'Language and behaviour in the villa is always closely monitored, and Islanders are reminded of what we consider acceptable during their time on the show.

'Extensive duty of care protocols for all Islanders includes video training and guidance covering language and behaviour.'"

@TitsInAbsentia so just the Daily Fail? Wonder if it’s true? Could just be a DF invention!

Also can’t see any evidence that the reports of Zara going are true. I do wonder whether she’s ever watched the show though as she seems to think Tom is now off limits to all comers after a whole few days of “relationship” 😂

Never have I ever....been crap at pretending to drink from an empty plastic cup.... they should give them acting lessons for that one 😂 I had to laugh at the celebrity question all trying to outdo each other with minor people but oh no A VERY VERY FAMOUS SPORTS PERSON....as if...I suspect the Bolt kiss was more of a chicken peck. I do remember hearing about Lana and Owen Warner though. However the total scene stealer for me on that was Will and the response to having sex with a work colleague 😂not sure whether to feel relieved he didn't say 🐑

Zara's hair flicking when Olivia took Tom for the chat was hilarious, almost like a parody. Shaq's face was definitely "ugh, drama". Agree with you @Zampa it's just going to send Tom straight off to the chill Aussie girl! Thought Zara was a bit shifty at the morning after (or morning after the morning after) chat where she said Tom know what to do to make her feel good - implying 'things' had happened. She might as well have just scent marked him.

I did wonder if Jessie was told to pick Will for a date and kind of keep things going so he doesn't get ditched straight away.

My other disappointment...with all the slut dropping the girls seem to do how has no-one let out a stray guff?!

Anyway, I missed the vote because I didn't have the app notifications on...duh....I will start watching live-ish, mostly because I love the chat here even though it's not as busy as previous years...I suspect all the cool kids are on twitter or something far trendier!

Just googled again and it's on several places - a couple saying his place is in crisis and a couple saying he's been dumped so we'll have to wait and see. It does baffle me that this wasn't picked up before.

Link for anyone interested. I haven’t read in full. @TitsInAbsentia his mates really threw him under the bus 😂 The way he was immediate to stand up and get mouthy with Shaq made it obvious to me he is just trouble.

Love Island's Haris 'DUMPED from the villa' after street brawl video

mol.im/a/11670065

That's been updated since I read it, they're now saying it was part of the planned eviction so I guess we'll know if that's true tonight when he's in the bottom of the vote?

Hmm interesting. He was my least favourite boy anyway, no real loss.

Following - just started watching.

He won't get many votes as he's been pretty invisible in the edit the past two nights so I'm sure he'll be conveniently evicted, along with Anna May.

With “friends” like Haris’s, eh? They’ve probably missed him at the after school club. I’m convinced he’s 15. His cloud of Lynx Africa will probably be sufficient to hide those stray trumps @TitsInAbsentia

First look is up alert!

Zara seemingly not understanding the phrase containing the words pot, kettle and black after the last few days...

If Haris is asked to leave do you think he'll just never be mentioned again.

Was that not the case with the islander who allegedly kicked Molly Mae. Never mentioned again.

@MotherofKitties Zara appears to be under the illusion that she and Tom are now exclusive and that anyone wanting to talk to him must have flown 11 hours just to mug her off bruv.
