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

[MotherofKitties]

New thread

Who would have thought that Tom could redeem himself in my eyes?!

Refreshing to see a bit more dissension in the ranks amongst the boys this season- last summer especially they all really enabled each other and backed each other up to a toxic extent

Tanyel always threatens to kick off but then she's really calm and reasonable. So disappoint.

Fed up of the Ron and Lana show.

this is gonna be a cliffhanger isn’t it ffs

Come on Lana, don't let us down.

Yaaaaaaasssss Lana!!!!!!

Yay! Well done Lana, well done LI cliffhanger decision makers!

Lana sounded really shaken and upset.

Possibly, but she definitely sounded frozen.

Yes

YES

Yessss. Well done Lana

A boost for the universal level of female self-esteem

After Sun - Maya Jama - 🥰

I think they may have cut out some of Tom's conversation with Lana where he told her Ron was chasing her for his ego trip/a game but would never stay loyal to her. She sounded broken. I hope she gives Casey a proper chance and isn't playing a game with him.

She’s only chosen Casey because other people have been in her ear putting her off Ron. I feel sorry for Casey tbh, she’s not that into him and is using him.

I like Lana and would love to think she suddenly woke up and realised what a shit Ron is, but let’s face it, she didn’t.

Lana and Ron will end up with each other and poor old Casey will be collateral damage.

But not before Ron runs around like a dog in heat after the next new girl who enters the villa.

Got to say Maya is so natural and warm , definitely an improvement.
Next series can we ditch Iain Stirling 😉

I also think the producers who like Lana know that the whole audience wants Ron in the bin. That conversation made me like Tom more though.

No surprise about Kai staying (boo) but a pleasant surprise with Lana choosing Casey. I suspect Tom's even more surprising intervention helped. Dare I say it he's even gone a little bit up in my estimations after pointing out Ron's inconsistencies and lies.

Also, Ron's face was an utter delight when Lana said Casey. Ego being crushed in one fell swoop there. He was so sure, so ego-centric that he was going to 'win'. I hope he learns that you can't treat women like a toy that can be discarded when something more new and shiny comes along and expect it to be thankful to still receive your attention.

Mmm I think Lana even shocked herself saying Casey! She definitely didn’t sound convincing - I feel for Casey though and he must know deep down after that speech

I’m afraid I’m just not sold on Lana and Casey. She clearly still has feelings for Ron and deep down I think she wanted to go for him. Casey has come in and has shown her there are other options but he’s too ‘nice’ for her I think. Any handsome bloke that waltzed in and said all the things she wanted to hear would have had the same effect. Ron has been a twat but tbh I think she’s just done what she thinks she ‘should’ do/ to get her own back on Ron and to avoid looking like a mug.

also I know his situation was different but it’s a bit rich of Tom to be on his high horse about messing girls around. How many’s he been through now?! Zara, Olivia, Ellie, Samie … sure there was another one he was after at one point too.

And where the hell did the Olivia and Kai thing come from? It seemed to spring from nowhere and even though I assume Tanyel and him fizzled out she just seems to have been left on the side lines.

I thought it would be Aaron and Kai to go as I thought they’d decide spencer deserved a chance with T. Did Aaron have any kind of connection with ANYONE?! Poor bloke …

There was no chance any guy other than Kai could stay. Queen Bee Olivia wouldn’t have it.

Seems to be cliques forming. Olivia, Lana and Ellie vs Tanyel and Samie a bit.

The chat between Tanyel and Olivia was frosty. They are definitely not friends.

I really don’t like Olivia. Would love to see her go it would change the whole villa dynamic a lot I think.
