Love Island Winter 2023 pre-series discussion

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’m surprised Will likes women. I assumed he was gay.

I can’t see Zara’s attraction at all. She looked good when she walked in but now in a bikini, she doesn’t look good.

Anna May needs to go for her own sake.

Tanyel is irritating.

Tom is so incredibly dull. I don’t find him attractive.

I don’t see Kai’s attractiveness either.
Ron is gorgeous. He reminds me of the actor who plays Keanu in EastEnders.
Shame he is game playing with Lana who seems down to earth.
The two Aussies are far from bombshells.

I’m dipping in and out as it’s not holding my interest yet.

Ugh, sometimes this thread is 🤮
Comments like "Weird looking"; saying Will is creepy; mentioning Tanyel's cellulite - it's all so fucking grim

Another question: Why are most of teh boys wearing ladies necklaces? Is that a thing now?

Agreed, I don’t like those kinds of posts.

Zara becomes increasingly unattractive because she’s a hypocrite and unpleasant.

I really don’t mind Olivia - she reminds me of Faye, a very soft and insecure heart with an abrasive exterior. I agree though that Tom is definitely not in to her though he is giving her slightly mixed messages with the knee touching.

I agree that Anna May and Haris bring nothing and Haris may have been pushed if he wasn’t already leaving due to the vote.

Will’s face covered in lipgloss after the kiss was just revolting. Agree he groped Jessie in a horrible predatory way in the task. I also agree that he’s extremely camp and I assumed that he was gay in the first episode.

Tom is very dull, Kai I can’t see it either but Ron is very good looking. I still think Haris looks like a Girls World with a Peaky Blinders haircut.

@TitsInAbsentia you could always clutch Ron’s pearls!

Apparently so, it seems to be compulsory!

LikeTearsInRain · 25/01/2023 08:42

I think maybe we have to view the Aussies as paid for actors/stooges for the producers. They already have some success from being on the Australian series. I feel they will have been paid to come on again.

Their decision on who goes will most definitely be the producers, so I wouldn’t expect any surprise choices like we have sometimes had in the past.

Jessie is just playing the game with Will. The producers want to keep him in for the underdog story even though everyone ends up hating them by the end like Hugo (just saying dickhead stuff) and Dr Alex (when he binned off that dark haired lady)

Who was the guy who came in late last year and had zero sex appeal.. was his name Charles? .. thats Will this year!

There's always one it was dr Alex a couple of years ago

Maves · 25/01/2023 11:15

On after sun it showed Jessie and Aaron watching the first episode and Jessie was liking Will saying I hope no one picks him....so either that was staged or she does actually like him

Maves · 25/01/2023 11:16

Will reminds me of Frank Spencer

autienotnaughty · 25/01/2023 11:37

TellingBone · 21/01/2023 11:11

Olivia reminds me of Maura

Re Tanyel/Ron - I recall one time in an earlier series where a girl chose a boy who was in a settled couple [sorry, can't remember who]. Original couple just carried on as though it hadn't happened. I hope Lara and Ron do this.

It happened to luca and Gemma last year and yeah there was a couple a few years ago. I can picture them the guy does presenting now

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 21/01/2023 18:46

I was just thinking that this series feels quite different in terms of race. It doesn't seem to have the same problems (so far) that previous series have had.

Other than a only shaq stepped forward for Tanya

Staged like everything else.

Someone has just posted a music video showing Olivia and Zara appearing together.

I think David has confirmed that the islanders all know they knew each other previously but it just wasn't shown

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 25/01/2023 12:26

Yes, I think to be fair to them, when something hasn’t happened it may just be that it didn’t make the edit.

Aquarius1234 · 25/01/2023 12:30

It should have made the edit! we all know some know of each other through agents.

MotherofKitties · 25/01/2023 13:15

First look is up!

Intrigued by Zara's reaction... still think it's likely to be Harris and Anna Mae though

TitsInAbsentia · 25/01/2023 13:23

Really early for First Look isn't it! Just got the notification while I was having lunch with a colleague and had to try really hard not to pick up my phone 😂

If it's not Haris and Anna May then I don't know...unless Anna May wasn't bottom as she had the Welsh vote (does that type of voting even exist any more, I know years ago it was a big thing).

I saw a link to a music video that Zara was in...the artist was so scary I just couldn't watch it...they had blacked out front teeth and all sorts of erm, 'individual style things' going on. Now that was creepy....

Imagine if Tom goes. Now that would put the cat amongst the pigeons!

I don’t understand why everyone seems to
fight over him, he has all the personality of a frozen fish finger. Is it just that he’s tall?

Yes very tall, good body not lanky etc. Facial hair.
Best of a bad bunch, Cringe that he uses hair removal cream on eyebrows though.
