Love Island Winter 2023 - Nah bruv it's Thread 2!

[MotherofKitties]

New thread

Problem with Shaq arguing or being nice, he's dull and not interesting to watch.
Producers haven't a clue. Ron awful too. Just not watchable.

What a pity the producers arranged to show Shaq’s tantrum seconds before the vote opened for the ‘boys’.

Presumably they want him out so Tanya can be moved on to Jordan - since she’s not allowed to be considered by any others.

Kai and Olivia are both looking desperate now.

Clever Jessie!

I felt very uncomfortable watching Tanyel kiss Ron. It’s really put me off her. I don’t buy her “I just felt comfortable.” She’s supposed to be Lana’s friend.

I still like Olivia! I couldn’t stand Ekin Su though so I have form for swimming against the tide of LI opinion! I hope she has found a connection with someone even if it is Dry Kai! I don’t think it’s staged, we don’t see 99% of what happens in there so it’s possible that binds are forming over time that aren’t obvious to us.

Shaq - honestly I get it. It was a challenge yes but I can see why he’s annoyed that she really went for it. There’s taking part - like Jessie did - and then really going for it. I don’t trust Tanya, I can’t put my finger on why, but perhaps that’s why I feel more for Shaq than I might otherwise have done.

I stand corrected re Jessie and Will I do think now that she’s genuine.

I think Shaq will still do ok in the vote but agree that the producers probably want it more spread. I want Kai to leave.

I felt very uncomfortable watching Tanyel kiss Ron. It’s really put me off her. I don’t buy her “I just felt comfortable.” She’s supposed to be Lana’s friend.

This. It’s potentially very snaky of Tanyel. There she was a few episodes a go boosting Lana with her pep talk about knowing her worth and then goes in with an inappropriate kiss. I think the only thing stopping Tanyel is that Ron doesn’t see her that way.

The settled couples (Will & Jessie and Shaq & Tanya) need Stuff to happen, so they don't become invisible and therefore overlooked.

A minor grump about something that happens in a challenge is an excellent way too achieve that.

I don’t trust Tanya, I can’t put my finger on why,

She’s studying biomedical science and already has ‘SM ambassador’ deals with Boohoo and other brands. She’s clearly busy and ambitious - I doubt she’s been encouraged to show off her brain on LI. People disagreed when I said she wouldn’t be interested in Shaq in real life … (Nothing to to with ‘not needing a man to keep them’ or whatever!)

Ironically, his articulacy and moral fibre might bring him unanticipated success once the show ends!

Shaq has backed himself into a corner. He's admitted that he's dtd with Tanya and already saying the I love yous. If they fall out, he's got nowhere to go except the exit. Far too much too soon.

Tom To go
But probably be Aaron voted out
Shaq did give the girls good enough scores for the xx too did the boys just score high because the knew it was her as she is small.
Shaq will be protective of any girl.
I thin Ron and Tanyel have xx already saw them put quilt up over them one night.
They would have had a chance of winning together if they hadn't been sneaky.

This! And her fish lips really irritate me. It's like she's always puckering up on purpose. And all the girls have great bodies. Hers is nothing special (by LI standards)

Only thing that irritates me about Casey is his unshaven look. He needs to shave.

Thank you.

I haven't read if there's any other comments yet as avoiding the thread as not watched last night.

I'd actually take comments on-board if they were from wig wearers, but to bring in skin colour and to say I've offended that minority upset me.

If it comes out Tanya has undergone cancer treatment or has alopecia, I will of course be mortified and regret my statement, but not simply as she is black. I have never noticed wig glue before, so assumed she is applying it incorrectly, perhaps it's the sun showing it up? Fwiw I have really sparse lashes but have never mastered applying falsies so don't wear them at the risk of looking ridiculous. My hair has also thinned over the years, but as much as I'd also love flowing locks down to my bum, I'll forgo them rather than have a glue line.

Agree about Olivia's strange badly botoxed fish lips. They look odd. Also, I don't like her voice. I feel like she is trying to sound posh IYSWIM. Her non-descript 'accent' sounds 'put on.'

On her instagram, pics, it's plain to see that she has lip filler on almost every pic. But on most of them, the filler looks better than it does on the show. She looks very trout-pouty on the show.

Well, this thread has turned pretty vile

I was more of an Olivia fan at the start. I still don't mind her but I do wish her first line and ongoing conversations with any man wasn't always along the lines of 'so what made you pick me?' 'What would you say you like about me' 'am I up there for you' 'am I your type' etc. why not just chat and give them the chance to see your personality before they have anything to go on?

Ditto to all of the 'getting to know you' conversations. I know we don't see all of the footage but all they seem to say is 'well I'd like to get to know you better' 'yeah me too - I'd like to get to know you too' 'where's your head at' etc rather than taking about anything that might allow them to get to know each other. Maybe I need to watch more 'unseen bits'!

Yeah, I agree. Olivia is coming across as quite needy and like she needs validation from men. I reckon she will be hard work as a girlfriend/partner. She also clearly wants to settle down really quickly. She has made that obvious and clear.

Yes absolutely. I will never understand why every guy in there is picking her and saying she would be a great girlfriend on the outside. She would be a total nightmare high maintenance needy girlfriend.

Absolutely agree. Their "conversations" drive me mad 😆

I don't like much of the 'swimwear' the girls/women wear actually. Especially when they turn around and the bottom bit of the bikini is so far up their arse you can't see two thirds of it!

And I HATE the bikini tops they wear (sometimes) and also some of the dresses, where you can see about 80% of their breasts. I am no prude but I think it looks so tacky and trashy. As the saying goes...... Less is more. And when you can see almost everything, it looks awful IMO.

These pics here demonstrate what I mean about the 'most of the breasts showing' types of tops/dresses. Apart from looking awful (IMO,) how can they POSSIBLY be comfortable in them?

And no, I am not 'jealous' before anyone says anything, So keep that old chestnut to yourself! 🤐😆 😂

Basically the dates aren't worth watching, forced staged same old lines.
LI seem determined not to show natural connections and friendships. I think LI should be a mix of everything. Not just the boring couples.

Aaron needs to go. I often forget that he’s there tbh
Apparently he was horrible to the women in Love Island Australia.
Bringing him over was pointless .

Shaq and Tanya will be making out under the covers tonight. Shaq is just being silly

Olivia is extremely dull.

As I suspected Tanyel really likes Ron.
I think that Jordan was brought in for her, but she is not interested
The issue is that she has been giving pep talks to Lana about Ron and now practically swallowed him in the kissing challenge.
Not a good look

The Kai and Olivia chat looked producer led.

Jessie is playing the game well.

Spencer is just enjoying a free holiday

I agree about the trashy swim wear and some of the tops. Olivia always dresses tacky in my view (to be fair most of them do). Some of the girls look good in anything though. Zara for example was so stunning regardless of what she wore, as is Ellie! I can't believe more guys aren't after Ellie and they all follow Olivia around.

@Lampzade The Kai and Olivia chat looked producer led.

Totally! It was completely random. And Olivia clearly isn't into him. He was such an idiot to let Tanyel go. No other woman in there will ever be interested in him.

Olivia is just so bland. You never seeing her having a good old laugh, just seriousness and pouting all the time.
I didn’t even notice Aaron in last nights show. He will definitely be out tonight. Hoping Ron gets the boot, they will probably want to keep him in but if he’s in the bottom three that will at least give him the shock he needs.
I would like Spencer to stay, he hasn’t had a chance although he seems to have tried.
Sammi is another boring one. No effort whatsoever on her part. Think she’s just in it for the fame.
I really want to believe Jessie is sincere but still having doubts about that one. She wants to move to London etc etc. What better way to get her name out there than to stick with Will and win.

Allegedly two boys are to go tonight. I think it may be Aaron and Spencer.
