Casa is over and movie night looms. Let's see who's smug and who silently fumes

Yes, definitely a gentleman farmer.

Fifth generation, his father is the main farmer and current owner.

Here's an article from the FT, mainly about him, from August 2022

I never really liked Will, he is so OTT, and doing drugs on holiday just puts him as the same as all the rest.

Thank you, @CarpyDiem - that article was fascinating. Don’t know how I missed it before.

Will comes out of it seeming so much more appealing than he does on LI. Perhaps inevitably. But reading this:

‘Petting zoos aside, he admits that his dream would be to present his own television show,’

together with his huge TikTok following, suggests he was headhunted by ITV rather than applying cold. And that ITV see his LI appearance as just the first step towards the TV career he aspires to.

Interesting …

I've always said that you can't go over 100% but that episode was 200% cringe.

Fiat 500 in the hideaway...predictable....

Olivia is hilarious...how the hell could she be an actress when she doesn't even have a poker face - when Sanam was getting ready for her date Olivia looked like she had the worst smell ever under her nose. I'm back on team Kai after the chat he and Olivia had -she really cannot bear that she has no effect on him, and I'm here for it! Has anyone seen Maxwell...zero airtime poor lad😂

Does Tanya really think we believe all this working out my feelings shit? All she did was keep Martin on until she knew she was safe with Shaq, she didn't want to risk being single. I've never been keen on Martin but he was literally her safety blanket. For her to say "he's pushed me to the edge" of Martin was hilarious. Dickish behaviour from her. Fuck off Tanya. You aren't winning now. Plus that was shitty doing that big announcement in front of Martin. Dick.

I'm not a tik tok user but have just had a quick look at will's account, definitely set up with the intention of getting in to showbiz I'd say.

WHERE IS MOVIE NIGHT?!

First Look is up ... Grim of Olivia and Max to wind Martin up but suppose he didn't need much encouragement.

Shaq is a little bit of a hypocrite. He had a go at Ron and Lana for immediately kissing in front of Casey and then he did the same thing to Martin.

Do as I say not do as I do, hmm?

Looks like we're in for a borefest of too much Tanya tonight!

The way Tanya said ‘It takes another man coming into the villa to see what I had with you Shaq’.

Eh nope Tanya. You brought the other man into the villa.

I really hope Tanya and Shaq don't win. Her behaviour has been dreadful and she is very unpleasant.

Apparently the odds of Tanya and Shaq winning have improved massively!

Though it seems posters here aren’t alone in calling for a solo winner this year. Kai seems to be garnering lots of praise for his implacable stand against A Woman.

I actually would prefer Ron to win over Tanya. How times change

Apart from Kai, Casa need not have happened. I thought Casa was too short this year.

Me too, I'd actually prefer a Ron and Lana win.

I agree Tanya has done Martin dirty especially with her public announcement but I do think she was in a difficult situation in Casa having had doubts about Shaq and I thought the fact she kept talking to Martin about Shaq even in Casa showed that she was still into him. Martin got into the villa, I don't think he expected much more but now he has to play it out and save face. I prefer to give them all the benefit of doubt, they are all so young and in a weird situation under a lot of pressure. True they signed up for it but they didn't plan to be hated by the public. Except maybe Olivia, she seems happy to come across as a total bi**h and probably has a deal to stir shit up!

They need a massive cull of islanders, many have overstayed their welcome, get rid of olivia, maxwell, tanya, shaq and martin. I want to say will, jessie, ron and lana aswell but then they'd be left with only 2 couples. Maybe they should do that and bring the final forward. It feels such a waste of my life watching this series. Maya and all love island fans deserve better than this. Casting obviously didn't research compatability when they chose this bunch

Ok just caught up.

I'm bored now, we need some new people or dumpings etc. seems like the same people for ages lol but maybe because it's boring?!

Tanya on first look calls Martin bitter 🤭

I like when the VIP comes in. The recorder 😂Nothing will top Anton crying at Craig David though.

It always drags at the end. The couples all become established, no drama, just ridiculous declarations of love.

I'm pinning all my hopes on a decent movie night, a decent row over the islanders voting on compatibility and a few shock dumpings.

I’m very bored now too. I agree Kai has massively improved since he met someone he clearly seems attracted to.

I was an Olivia fan - or at least I didn’t mind her but her behaviour towards Kai has been bizarre. I think she took Maxwell back as insurance but hoped Kai wouldn’t have recoupled. She’s hurt and instead of owning it is stomping about and generally appearing to be completely bonkers!

Tanya. Just dreadful. I’m so disappointed in Shak 🙄

It really took a lurch for the boring, didn't it?

Most of the couples looked insecure at the start of Casa, and I'd really hoped that this year there would be a good set of changes.

But no, we're back to the yawnsville of the "established" couples.

Maybe if we had Movie night followed by bombshells it might recover from torpor?

I said EXACTLY the same about Olivia. She came back with someone to make sure she wouldn't be single, and get booted out. She expected Kai to be alone, and is butthurt and miffed that Kai recoupled/came back with someone else. It's bizarre how she is demanding contrition and apologies from Kai when he has done fuck-all wrong.

Also loathing Tanya right now, and Shaq too. Are we supposed to be feeling like they're Jack and Rose or Romeo and Juliet? FFS, they're a couple of absolute tools. I hope they leave next.

I can honestly not think of one single strong couple in there, and have no idea who is going to win. I do like Kai and Sanam together though I have to say. They're quite sweet.

If I could vote winners I’d vote Claudia tbh. She’s the only one in there who hasn’t shown herself up.

Kai seems ok but he wasn’t ok in Casa.

The others are awful this year. They are all afraid to do anything other than check themselves. They need a huge cull of at least half of them. Hopefully two new people will win.

I knew I had seen Will before. He looks like the younger brother of Joe Lycett!

Yes, we need a cull and some newbies. Who are attractive, have fun and can string an articulate sentence together. (Then we'd all wish they had contestants islanders like that from the start - like Chris the Salmon)

Trying to remember who is still in:
Originals: Shaq, Tom, Kai, Ron, Will; Tanya, Lana, Olivia
Bombshells: ; Jessie, Samie
Casa: Martin, Maxwell, Sanam

And has been dumped:
Originals: Anna-May, Zara, Tanyel; Haris
Bombshells: Aaron, Jordan, David, Spencer: Ellie
Casa: all the rest (Ryan, Frankie, Kain, Bayley; Sammy, Lynda, Cynthia, Lydia, Layla)

I think Zara was a very early bombshell, as was Tom.

Thanks @Zampa - updated version (also including two I'd missed off completely!)
