I like the idea of the public choosing who should recouple .
The summer LI is coming up soon. Producers need to shake things up. The show is becoming too predictable

Moving on again…

Puffalicious · 25/02/2023 19:06

Apologies to others on the thread who, quite rightly, are bored of the back and forth. However, when I feel my right to express my opinions is being quashed, or I'm being told 'how' I am by random on the Internet, I defend my position.

Further apologies and moving on.

You're all as bad as each other: defensive, gaslighting and passive aggressive. Thoroughly unpleasant.

I wonder if you might care to clarify exactly who is indicated by all? It’s a little worrying to read …

Twonewcats · 25/02/2023 19:18

If you want to keep going, then pm each other. But on this thread, PLEASE FUCKING STOP

Well I would have assumed it was obvious she meant the posters that were aiming comments at her, but if you want to twist it to fit your narrative I guess you will.

But yes, let's move on and hopefully somebody else won't pop up from nowhere and jump on the bandwagon.

Cynthia and Layla on what they wish was shown, apparently Layla told the girls will was feeling guilty and had quite a bit of chatting to Kai.

Cynthia felt like it showed her pulling Casey for chats but it was mostly the other way round

Indeed. Thank you

Ahem. Evening all. We've had to delete a fair personal attacks on here from various posters We'd suggest that if any MNers have concerns about another poster or their posts that they report them to us directly rather than addressing them on the thread.

Hopefully the thread can continue now in the spirit of peace and love - you are talking about Love Island after all....Grin

I'm not sure about what Cynthia says. I think what they showed definitely showed Casey in a poor light, never once did it look like it was poor Casey being hounded by an insatiable woman. The straddling thing was all her. Not something you'd generally see from somebody who wasn't doing the chasing.

FiloPasty · 25/02/2023 22:37

I’m late to it and watching last night. Do you think Claudia after a lash contract? Her eyelashes are stressing me out.
Rosie isn’t attractive at all.
I think that “I don’t want to be someone’s option, I want to be someone’s everything” is going to be one of the lines of the season.
Casey for the bin please. I like Tom more and more.

All of this! 😃

The girl’s toxic behaviour is headline news in the Daily Fail this morning.

Picoloangel · 26/02/2023 07:59

Blimey! I look away for two minutes and all sorts have been happening on here!

Anyhoo…I really like Claudia. I hate the way the boys - usually the boys anyway - justify their jumping on someone new by saying that maybe they weren’t ever “feeling it” with whoever they are about to dump on!

Shaq is a lost cause though I think ad soon as he watches Casa Amor and parts of the main show he may be on his way. That said I think a lot of them realise they are more marketable as a couple Ekin and Davide 😬
Tanya is one of the most horrendous contestants there has ever been.

Liv is so awful at this point that it’s almost funny. It’s so cringe how she uses Maxwell to discuss how Tom and Kai were really into her and will realise it in a matter of time.

How the hell are the girls speaking to her after movie night?! They do genuinely seem to like her though Ron has definitely seen through her antics!

On the whole this had been a pretty poor offering from LI - it’s been a struggle to stay tuned. Overly scripted and stage managed. Predictable and boring but the only difference for me this season is that I’ve changed my mind more about the islanders. Loved Ron in the beginning, now think he’s awful. Thought Tom was awful now like him. Thought Kai was boring but he’s come into own with Sanam. Liked Liv and Cary and now 🙈 Gone back and forth about Jessie, still am.

Papayaya · 26/02/2023 08:02

If an islanders behaves really badly and get voted out do they still get their modelling contracts etc. when they leave?

vjg13 · 26/02/2023 08:19

@Picoloangel Totally agree and very strange that Olivia's comments about the girls haven't been addressed at all.

Picoloangel · 26/02/2023 08:57

@Papayaya in theory they can but they are a much less attractive proposition to a company I guess if they are disliked by the public and have behaved badly. I suppose if they are seen as bullying etc they won’t be “on brand” but Faye did pretty well despite some horrendous behaviour towards Teddy. Maybe because she had a bit of a redemptive arc and accepted she had a problem. Also she was v much manipulated by the producers showing her completely misleading stuff about Teddy during Casa so maybe there was more public sympathy?

By this stage most of the leading female contestants have v v high numbers of Insta followers (near to 1m) but none of these contestants seems to have so far.

I've just found out that Liv used to work on reception at my local gym a few years ago! I remember her now, she definitely didn't have that dodgy top lip then

I can't say I had any meaningful conversations with her to be honest! She's very pretty, bit aloof though

Puffalicious · 26/02/2023 11:35

I can totally see aloof!

Zampa · 25/02/2023 15:15

Just to weigh in on the Black girl issue, I think the producers have actually handled it better this year, in that they've found guys who actually really want to date UK ethnic minority women.

There will always be unconscious bias in life and it's right to call it out where we perceive it happening but it's very difficult to police/understand intent and attitude on these threads. We should just all use this as a moment to reflect and then get back to calling Olivia a bitchy cowbag, which is obviously fine!

Kai and Sanam for the win!

Absolutely and I think we shouldn't be afraid to acknowledge l/explore the bias in ourselves how else do we learn/understand

beastlyslumber · 26/02/2023 13:29

Was there anything good in the unseen bits?

Rollergirl11 · 26/02/2023 13:40

I watched Unseen bits and found it really funny actually. Casey and Tom are very close and are a bit of a comedy duo together. It’s actually made me see Tom in a completely different light; there’s more to that lad than we see. I think he gets a bit of an unfavourable edit tbf.
