I also have no idea why my contorting faces comment has been taken so personally, as though it's a specific insult to black people. It obviously isn't. I'm not aware black faces contort any more so than white ones. Most faces do when they're owned by not very nice people.

I think it's a good reminder of how people can look at the same thing and see it totally differently! Some people love Will - he's always given me the utter ick. Some people think Claudia is sweet and gorgeous - I think she's kind of basic and not very interesting. Some people think Tanya is sticking it to the man - I think she's a narcissist and emotionally abusive.

None of us are wrong or right (well, I'm right, obviously!) but it's fun to discuss and dissect the different personalities on there. If we start accusing each other of bias and racism when we disagree, it just causes division and upset. People just disagree and have different perceptions of things. Also, remember that we are seeing the edited highlights of a tv show. We're not seeing these people in their usual environments, uncensored and unfiltered. So whatever perceptions we have, they're all going to be faulty in some way.

At this point, the LI threads are way more entertaining than the actual show. So can we not ruin it with a big ruck?

Hear hear!

In other news, did you see that there might be a Love Island All Stars show?!

Who would you want back? I'd definitely want I've and Chris the Salmon as well as Alexandra (who came in for Dr. Alex) and the posh blonde who came in for Hugo the PE teacher. And Samira Mighty!

Really?
But surely they couldn't come on claiming to be looking for love?😂

Ovie I'm sure would be a fave
Tommy and Molly were sweet and genuine
I thought the series with Amber and the other one with Dr Alex were the 2 best seasons I think, they all seem to merge into one after a while

What's his face from last summer did so why not?!

Please people, can we get back to the lighthearted thread we all know and love? I’d rather not trawl through pages of he said she said.

Can someone remind me what the middle-aged version of LI t that ITV are doing is called?

Rollergirl11 · 25/02/2023 17:43

I’d love to see Chris and Kem back. And Maura!

I don't understand how this would work - series one was 8yrs ago, and some contestants were older than today's lot. So mixing people in their (potentially) late 30s with early 20s could be a recipe for disaster

Maura was hilarious. And she really evolved and became quite sweet and a proper girl's girl. Would like to see her back

The popular ex islanders might be too expensive for ITV now though

I just wish they'd scrap the prize money. I don't know why they have winners at all 🤔
Things like MAFS do perfectly fine without people competing to win.

Also, scrap recoupling, and do phone voting recoupling instead

CellophaneFlower · 25/02/2023 17:54

I'd kind of hope all my faves would have found love by now! Plus I would need to remind myself of them all again as can remember very few. And even the ones I do remember, I can never think who they were coupled with, despite me being so heavily invested at the time.

Just a reminder that Tommy is fighting tonight. I don't agree with boxing but shall make an exception tonight and watch through my hands 🙈

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 25/02/2023 17:58

My problem with Tanya is that she keeps shutting Shaq down, saying he's overreacting and not allowing him to have feelings.

With Jessie I think her issue with Will is that she no longer knows who is the true Will. At first she thought he was a funny, loveable geek. But now she's seen Casa Amor footage and he's said he's slept with 100 women. So what is he actually like ?

The prediction is he'll be flattened 🫣
PS it's tomorrow, i think 🤔

Oh gawd, yes you're right, it's tomorrow! I just can't abide that Jake Paul, he's so arrogant, even for a "boxer' 🙄

Boulshired · 25/02/2023 18:07

Viewers voting especially over the last few series have promoted the “journey”, so whilst I have disliked Tanya I do think she’s overplayed her game plan. I am not sure she is the person she is presenting and may have been influenced by Ekin Su and Indiyah from last season but has failed miserably at delivering. Instead of fierce diva she’s provided gaslighting

CellophaneFlower · 25/02/2023 18:07

If he does flatten him I wonder if Tommy will say "I'm getting my big brother on you" 😱 That should have him on his toes 😂

I love this idea too!

LikeTearsInRain · 25/02/2023 18:36

For an Allstars show… I guess they still have to be single now? Rules out a lot of them and some I have no idea about.

Agree Chris the Salmon and Ovie would be top of the list for the guys. I also liked Adam Maxted (so awkward and useless with women on the show). Theo (“I think if Tyla really liked him, then she should go as well really”). Luke Trott was really nice. Chris and Kem banter.

Girls too would be Maura. Georgia Steele (“I’m loyal boo”). Hayley Hughes (Brexit chat and is Liverpool a country or whatever it was). Chloe Burrows. You could do a selection of feisty ones like Kady McDermott, Anna Vakili, Faye Winters and Tanyel to hopefully have some screaming matches.

Nobody from this series or the last one I don’t think. Maybe Ekin.

Thing is it would all be shit as they mostly have established media careers to protect and care far more about their image than they did when originally in so most of their entertaining or dramatic qualities would be toned right down.

I agree which is why I didn’t engage further with certain posters
