Will seems to be good mates with the girls and also a voice of reason - when he's not being daft he comes across as a good guy

This. I couldn't articulate it.

Please let Kai attempt to "stick it on her".

Yes, Will's goofy, but he's pretty straight. Shaq and Aaron seem to be good guys as well

Have to say I'm loving the drama. Sooo much better than last year!

It's clever of Ellie to start the rumour because it's going to help her back Tom into a corner.

Good thinking, will this make Samie, Zara and Olivia back right away from him?

Jellykat · 30/01/2023 22:02

Gone right off Tanya, she knew what Zaras reaction would be

AnxieTeapot · 30/01/2023 22:17

Someone should bottle Kai - he works better than a lavender pillow spray 😴💤

🤣

Zara is LOVING this. Beautiful but deadly.

Tom is an arse- like PP said, a fuck-boy in sweetie shop.

NadjasNightclub · 30/01/2023 22:36

It really seems like Tom doesn't view the girls as actual people with their own feelings, he's just saying what they want to hear and it's difficult to watch. I really like when Will tried to explain Zara's point of view when she was upset over the challenge, it showed he has a lot of emotional maturity and wasn't just sticking with 'the boys'.

I wanted so much to like Ron but tonight was the last straw, hope Lana ditches him for Aaron even if only temporarily.

Spencer seems like a nice person from what little we've seen.

I could listen to Tanyel pep talking Lana allll day long, wish I had half as much confidence as that girl! Hope she stays.

Also, does Ellie look a bit like Dominique from MAFS Aus or is it just me?

She does look like her a bit! It’s the eyes!

bumblenbean · 30/01/2023 22:58

I’m not seeing why all the guys are so enamoured with Sammie tbh. I think Zara, Lana and Olivia are all much more attractive.

Ron has proved himself to be a complete tool. The way he was trying to talk himself out of fancying Sammie - to Lana! Cringeworthy. And agree Kai comes across as very dull but could just be editing …?!

Tom is just bizarre. He doesn’t seem to know what the fuck he wants. Why did he kiss Ellie if he doesn’t fancy her? Why hasn’t he properly pursued Olivia if she’s his number one? And why does it always look like he’s wearing makeup?!

BTphonehome · 30/01/2023 23:20

You can tell Tom’s not into Ellie. He hasn’t actually really given much indication that he is, I think he said she was attractive once and that’s it. Ellie’s latched on like a limpet and is giving me the ick with how desperate she is to pull him.

I know it’s 2023 but I do still believe that men like a bit of a chase and Ellie isn’t giving anyone the opportunity to chase her, there’s no mystery, she’s just so full on and desperate, which is what put Ron off her. Her and Zara will be next to go I think as no one seems interested.

I swear Jessie was put in there just to couple up with Will, no one else paid her any attention and she didn’t seem to give anyone else the time of day really and I just don’t believe that would be the case. Not buying her and Will, she always looks like she has the ick and who could blame her.

Aaron, bless him, he hardly gets any air time and no one was ever interested in him, same with Spencer. Spencer seems deathly dull.

Tanya is a shit stirring bitch....but Zara really? Get a grip......as for Tom he's boring as fuck and agree something is up with his face he has those weird lines round his mouth/cheeks.

Samie is average not sure why the men are like flys on shit... et on and kai acting dicks.

This. She is really coming into her own with the girls isn't she? I'd happily take a quarter of her confidence. Knows her self worth and has surprised me. Good on her!

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 31/01/2023 01:42

Steady on @Maves, it’s only a reality show. There’s a lot of editing and directing going on.

yeah I agree with this…bit much. I mean Islanders are just a bit young with loose lips in general. And is it any worse than Lana running to Tom & Olivia to tell them what Zara was upset about knowing Olivia would he smug?

personally I suspect Ellie and Will low key agreed to get the word out so this is going according to their plan.

Oysterbabe · 31/01/2023 06:54

I cannot stand Tom or Ron. Pick a lane.
Kai is boring as fuck.
I'm getting player / sleaze vibes from the newest boy.
Will is nice enough but there's zero chance Ellie actually fancies him.

Aquarius1234 · 31/01/2023 07:31

I think even the Tom Ellie kiss was staged, let alone all the rest that followed.
Olivias reaction with her shocked face and hands in the air was the most scripted thing I've ever seen.
The chat with the 4 of them Will etc was beyond cringe.

We may aswell have seen the producers in the background with the clapperboard shouting 🎬 action !!
Things are too forced and rushed in LI.
Funny how most the ep was boring right until Zara showed up..

Aquarius1234 · 31/01/2023 07:34

I always wonder if there is even 1 minutes worth of footage shown on ITV2 that isn't staged. Imo it's only the background chatter and laughter in the kitchen. Which of course isn't shown.

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 31/01/2023 07:54

I thought it was a mock dramatic response to their entrance rather than their news.

Aquarius1234 · 31/01/2023 08:18

Well yeh she knew they were about to come in.

I thought this too, a 'what is that important to warrant such a dramatic 'we need you immediately' entrance?!' reaction.

I've really got into this series, it's so much better than the previous one. I'd like it even more if they showed some more of the natural banter and chats amongst the group though.

I think (or rather hope), that once Olivia finds out about the kiss she'll realise he's playing her, will announce she won't be taken for a mug, her and Zara will both swear him off and become besties riding into the sunset, Tom will end up with Ellie by default because he's pissed off all of the girls (which may well have been her plan all along...), Lana and Tanyel will sack off Ron and Kai for taking the mick and will give Aaron and Spencer the time of day... cue a beautiful new man walking into the villa who wiped the floor with Tom in both the looks and personality department.

Not that I've thought about it or anything

I really loved Tanyel’s pep talk to Lana too. Tanyel has surprised me the most. She really seemed like hard work to begin with but she’s relaxed in to it and her personality is shining through.

The girls are totally carrying this season so far. They really need to get some decent men in their to match the strength of character of the women!

This.

It’s so produced. The ‘cast’ don’t have the ability to act naturally, they want deals and brands.

The very essence of the show is gone. Now we are just watching a long audition and tactics. It’s more like The Traitor tbh.

And Aaron? (the Aussie guy) is playing a good game as is Jessie

Maves · 31/01/2023 10:19

They are grown women ffs running around gossiping like 15 year olds Tanya had no business telling Zara of all people! Though tbh will shouldn't have said oawt he did say to Ellie it woukd be interesting if ppl knew... and she didn't argue.
I don't know

Are you saying grown women don’t gossip?! Come on now!
