Something about Olivia I can't stand. Seems so fake.

Same! Her smug face when Tom picked her for the face in that challenge 🙄 if she only knew what happened next with Ellie…

CellophaneFlower · 30/01/2023 00:20

I am finding Tom soooo creepy now. Plus his flirting consists of that cheesy grin and calling the girl "trouble" 🙄 He's a twat and turns me cold.

Tanyel has really grown on me. I didn't like her at the start and actually thought she'd be more like Zara has turned out - throwing tantrums all the time.

I still like Olivia. I don't think she should have gone in for the kiss just to mark her territory, I think she has more to her than that. And thank goodness she didn't!

I can't put my finger on why, but I really think Shaq's head might get turned at Casa. He may well not bring her back but I reckon shit will go down!

XanaduKira · 30/01/2023 00:32

I agree with all of that @CellophaneFlower

Puffalicious · 30/01/2023 00:52

Yes the 'You're trouble' is really bothering me, like he's some helpless, wee boy being led astray by a siren. Not cool.

Samie is very, very pretty, but her voice is going to grate- it's so very annoying.

MotherofKitties · 29/01/2023 21:32

Yep they've called it a day... who will Zara go for next I wonder?

It will take a brave man...

It's starting to look like Tom was the issue, not Zara or Olivia.

Yes. He is like a kid in a sweetshop. Every girl who enters the villa fancies him because he is tall apparently?

I don't think Sammie is good looking at all. She sounds like a PITA. Ellie is very pretty, probably the best looking in there. No doubt she will be left single and will be booted out of the villa.

Shaq is saying it how it is. Ron is coming across as very immature. Its fine if he wants to 'crack on' with every woman who goes in but its shitty saying the opposite to Lana. I like the way Lana stood up for herself. She's a role model for the young girls watching this but Ron is going to play her.

TitsInAbsentia · 30/01/2023 07:19

Laughing so hard that Zara says to Jessie "it's just a game" when she was talking about Ellie and the balloon thing with Will, but goes all drama over Tom picking Liv etc. Tanyel walking away was a huge tell too. Read the room Zara.

Yeah, Ron first out of the trap heading towards Samie....sooner Lana moves on from him the better. FML, my type on paper. You utter tit.

So this could be fun if Tom and Ellie are getting cosy. We need a new lad to come in for Olivia and Zara to fight over!

vjg13 · 30/01/2023 07:23

Didn't Ron say he always went for blonde haired women early on and now Sammie is exactly is type?! Confused Tom doesn't seem very bright or have much personality. Zara seems better now she's not with Tom. I really like Shaq, from his ironing skills to his pep talks to Ron! Just hope Tanya doesn't treat him badly.

Picoloangel · 30/01/2023 07:31

I like Olivia. She explained to Tom that she likes him but feels reticent because of his head having turned once already. IMO that’s why she didn’t kiss him. Her instinct was right!

Samie’s voice 😬

Rollergirl11 · 30/01/2023 07:57

I kind of got the impression he was at a loss for words and so kept repeating that. There’s something a bit weird with Tom. He’s really rubbish at articulating himself, frequently tripping over his words and quite often he sounds like he’s slurring and like he could be drunk. I’ve sometimes wondered if he’s on medication.

I think he’s just not that bright tbh.

I think Olivia is very manipulative. Not a fan.

Tom is all brawn no brain. Very dull man.

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 30/01/2023 08:31

Agreed. Plus I think he thinks his smile alone is enough to carry him.

I don't mind Samie so far. I like that she hasn't tried to change her voice (Zara I'm looking at you) and also like how she played down her "boring" job. She's not trying to be something she's not. It's refreshing.

CarpyDiem · 30/01/2023 10:01

I've thought Olivia manipulative from the off, and attention grabbing.

But I don't think she likes Tom just because Zara had him for a while - she was coupled up with him before Zara even arrived, and the germ of it started then. But I do think reaction to Zara kept her determination going IYSWIM, because I think they would have drifted away from each other if that dynamic hadn't occurred.

Kai keeps reminding me of a darker Martin Lewis

Aquarius1234 · 30/01/2023 10:15

Samie sounds exactly like someone.
Or am I just thinking of the generic strong only way is Essex accent ?
Imo she's lots prettier than previous bombshells. There isn't any faults with her face / teeth/ hair. Tan. Half Italian maybe.
Imagine the negative comments if they did cast average 4 or 5 out of 10 people.. lol
We would be saying they looked like tramps and what not. They would probably break the camera what with being so unattractive... lol

Newyearnewmeow · 30/01/2023 10:41

Toms way of getting a girl isn’t with witty chat and nice compliments. No, he just has to sit there and do his smile thing and he has them in his snare (to be fair it has worked on three of the girls already)
The girls are always the one to go in for the kiss first then he moves in just a little bit. Same with every girl.
He’s a bore with no personality, getting by on his looks and height.
Ron is an idiot. I hope Lana crushes him with a new lad.
We need lots more male bombshells to bring those boys down a peg or two.

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 30/01/2023 10:58

Yeah and some real handsome fellas, not like Spencer who is a bit weak chinned and definitely not anyone in there’s type.

We need an Alex Bowen or someone of that ilk that will set the cat amongst the pigeons.

steelseries · 30/01/2023 11:31

Tom is far too lazy for Love Island. He makes zero effort but gets away with it by claiming he's just super chilled and doesn't do drama. I think Ellie realised she had better stick it on him because Sammie is the new shiny thing and her window is closing!

Never been a fan of Zara but I think she might struggle now unless they send in a bombshell for her. None of the boys seem to fancy her at the moment or like her confrontational side.

I'm always amazed when Kai says that him and Danyel are solid. They're so boring and rarely seem to exhibit any affection, even in bed. Maybe we aren't shown much of them?

Aquarius1234 · 30/01/2023 11:38

It does feel like the Tom show, hes so boring and his face is always red. Bad skin or bad makeup.

Aquarius1234 · 30/01/2023 11:39

I like Zara and it would annoy me if she was voted off tomorrow.

riotlady · 30/01/2023 11:44

Olivia’s problem is that she wants to be chased, so she keeps having conversations with Tom where she drops in that she’s open to him but he needs to work for it, waits for him to “woo” her and then gets frustrated when he doesn’t. Zara and Ellie have made more progress because they actually flirt instead of just announcing that he’s allowed to pursue them. Tanyel was similar in the beginning but picked up that it wasn’t working and started actually flirting with Kai. In the outside world you can just sit there and be hot and wait for everyone to come to you but it doesn’t work that way on LI

I know what you mean, but some guys in the past have been so annoying never giving the girls any space and chasing and flirting all the time. Love bombing..

Aquarius1234 · 30/01/2023 11:48

IMO Olivia only likes Tom for the show. Would never speak to him outside the show.

Aquarius1234 · 30/01/2023 11:49

Which could be said for 80% of them. But she pretends to the camera shes genuine,
