Marking my place on the thread

Samie and Tom to win! They're both so pretty 😍

I think Claudia is a really nice fun girl and way out of Casey's league, but he's treating her like rubbish. Her reaction to all his antics was really cool and relaxed whereas he became really defensive and mean.

And although the new bombshells look rubbish, I really hope Martin couples up with the girl so he stays 😆I'm starting to really like having him around

How has nobody commented on Olivia's comment as her clip started?!

'I should be used to watching myself'

Fuck off you self-obsessed, attention sucking cretin!!!

She acts like she's the only person in there.

When Tom hugged Shaq my ice cold heart almost thawed, I want them to couple up.

I loved Toms silent hug of Shaq, just letting him feel his emotions quietly.

I think Tanya might just be my most disliked islander ever. DD got annoyed with me at one point after I said ‘she’s just an absolute arsehole’ and she snapped, ‘we know, you’ve said it about 40 times this episode’ 😂

Kai and Sanam for the win.

I cannot get my head around how manipulative Tanya is. She's behaved appallingly in so many ways, yet still convinces Shaq that he's to blame. It's incredible.

Re the bombshells, Martin/Casey are the only ones who'd probably make an effort, no?
Samie will forgive Tom
Jessie will forgive Will
Shaq will forgive Tanya, or at least cling to her
Sanam will stick with Kai
Claudia will stick with Casey
Lana will st... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If Liv fancies the bombshell, she'll find a reason to be fuming at Max and dump him.

Oh, and from the first look, I thought the male bombshell was really attractive in a holiday fling kind of way. If he's fun and has some energy about him, he might be a breath of fresh air for them

New boy will pick Sanim and Liv for a date
New girl will pick Martin and Casey
Shaq should leave and ask Tanya if you really want us to be together leave together now.

Me either. She makes me so angry. She doesn’t care for Shaq’s feelings one bit

Liv is delusional

Checking in for thread 5. Thanks!

Thanks for new thread!

Not sure two new people will be enough.

I do feel just a tiny bit sorry for Maxwell. There’s a TV drama on at the moment where at one point a young man is abducted - but he doesn’t know it. He thinks he’s out for a nice day with a new friend … (Who is preparing to murder him if events elsewhere make it necessary.)

Interestingly Maxwell’s LI biog says he liked Samie first.

Liv is so self absorbed to the point of being delusional. Tanya's behaviour is absolutely shocking. Shaq's friends and family must be screaming at the telly.

If Shaq and Tanya get to the meet the family stage, what would his family say? If it was my ds I’d just want to get him away from her.

I'm so disappointed in all the forgiving tbh. None of them seem to have any self respect, the win is more important

omg the Tom and Shaq hug 💔💔 my heart!

Tanya is delusional, classic manipulative behaviour too believes her own bullshit and trying to twist it so she’s the victim. I can’t believe the girls aren’t pulling her up on it.

there seems a huge girl boy divide, it’s like they all actually hate each other!!

I thought Casey would want to couple up with Tom!

I think Will will be in the final

I'd like to see Shaq in a good friendship couple with someone (he'd make it to the final on that basis)

I'd like to see Olivia and Maxwell in the bottom three (and not Kai/Sanam - Kai's growing on me), Maxwell saved "because we like him and he's not had a chance" but Olivia gone

Absolutely sick of Olivia. She couldn't get Tom; so Ron was just stating facts. That wasn't remotely something to get annoyed about. But everything has to centre her.

I just remembered, Shaq was getting irked re movie night, and that she hadn't been honest with him, and Tanya said something like, if you are questioning this, I'll happily let you walk away 😳
He was almost apologising for asking her about kissing another guy in bed 😖

Missing the point but what's the name of this drama? Sounds great

I think the producer suggested chats before Casa are being used against them - lots of set ups in advance of movie night.
Maybe Liv is an actress plant as she did not seem upset she was shown talking about others - and her drama does seem weirdly unreal.
Every time one of them forgives the other's appalling behaviour it is setting examples of accepting this crap- so awful.
It feels like abuse for ITV to continue to allow Tanya gaslighting Shaq.
It's really grim.

I just don’t understand the hate for Liv - she’s clearly very insecure despite her beauty. She’s far less offensive than shit stirrer Ron and sly misogynist Casey. Film night exposed some of the more aggressive traits of the pack mentality in the men…

I feel so sorry for Shaq. Tanya is dreadful.
Olivia is deluded.
As the lovely green creature would say "it is what it is"
