#Never #Noregreeeeets

Girls seem to rate Shaq too. Got at least a kiss from Lana and proposal from Olivia I think?

Yep this. And challenge potentially a surprise so couldn’t have anticipated having to talk to her before it.

Where the fu#* is the chance to vote? I think they should schedule it so it's the same time every week, not until there is a convenient time for the vote to go the producers' way.

Thank god the triangle is over though, Casey owes Lana an apology.

Tanya should have been pie queen. How quickly her treatment of Shaq has been forgotten.

Good to see Casey get pied but gosh what a drama he's made out of it.

I'm peeved at the lack of voting this series. How many votes have there been? 2?

Kai ignoring Olivia was awesome 😂

On a side note, Samie and Claudia have the most flattering swim wear, especially Samie! The other girls' look cheap and unflattering in comparison, especially Olivia's and Tanya's.

I really don't see anything in Rosie, so have no idea why Casey likes her so much. I love Keenan though and wish Claudia would give him a proper chance. Although I think he also fancies Rosie. I hope we can vote at some point and Casey/Rosie get to leave 😡

I don't think casey has done anything wrong, he's been honest with Claudia and never promised the earth. I feel bad for her but its one of those situations I expect a lot of us have been in where something is casual and you start to like them more than they do! I certainly have anyway 😂

This!!!! Casey made such a song and dance about how badly Lana had treated him when he behaved WAY worse!!

Checked the app...no vote...came here to check I hadn't missed it...clearly not!
Stupid now. Might as well just remove any public voting at all....by the time it gets to the final no-one will be arsed.

Either this is all scripted or Casey does give the impression he’s interested. Both Cynthia and Claudia are grown women who both believed there was a strong connection. For Tom to be so close to Claudia and Sammi so close to Claudia it suggest they were a group of four. Ron even believed Cynthia was in to the Villa.

I'm laughing so hard at this. DH is a plumber and was the total stereotype of the plumber out on the pull every weekend when he was a youngster 🤣. Obvs before he met me and was tamed🤣.

@Tubofroses I agree think Casey hasn't done alot wrong it's a game someone has to bring a bit of drama or we would be completely bored.
Like most people even the girls if they where allowed would have pied Liv and Tanya and if it had bee last week Will. Casey was just unfortunate the pue challenge was the week he was unpopular. I think the marry is more important than snog and he said he would marry Claudia.
Tom and Samie are now my favourites.
Why did Liv marry Tom when she gave him the marry and went off her head when Ron said you only went with Kai because you couldn't get Tom and she denied it 🤣🤣

Are we not allowed to vote because then Olivia would get thrown out and they've promised her a final place?

Are deals like that done with Islanders?

@LikeTearsInRain The way beautiful but average in love island standards are treated, I would advise any female to avoid love island with a barge poll. I remember Francesca (season 5) and although she arrived late she was beautiful, witty and a wicked dress sense but compared to India she was invisible to the men. Women risking normal careers would be a disaster.

@Andi2020 claudia is being savaged on twitter for being stupid but it’s the mixed messages she received from Casey that is causing that. He knew as soon as the date he preferred Rosie. He married someone who he was about to dump

Part of me says that would be silly, but it feels so manufactured at points it seems naive to think it isn't a possibility.

I suspect the boys all wanted to pie Olivia but didn't want her to have the attention/air time.

He was effectively dumping her going on the words he said.

I think they are following Kai's lead and grey rocking her. It will infuriate her more as she isn't getting screen time.

Strange isn’t it that when Tanya was flitting between 2 men trying to decide which poor lad deserved her the most, the girls were fine with it but when Casey does the same thing, in a more respectful way than Tanya, the girls rip him to bits. And I think he handled it better than Tanya did.
I see, to coin the most annoying phrase in existence, “strong independent women” but I’m not sure I’m particularly liking them, a little bit toxic for me.

Being overlooked is worse than being pied.

Aside from Maxwell, she got nothing apart from Kai's pie (wholly predictable) so she can't make it about her (for once, phew!)

She scored so badly in that poll that I think her screen time will be well down.

I think that it showed there are a clear top three couples, and the focus will be on sorting out Keanan & Claudia (can they be made a friendship couple strong enough to last longer - because both are individually well liked) and Kai & Sanam

I thought Will came across well in that challenge, because his posturing suited it. the "test" for him and Jessie and also for Ron & Lana is to stay interesting enough.

I don't know, but I suspect that this happens (I thought it was true for Tommy and Curtis a few series ago, and also for Gemma)

If/if it's happening this time, my suspects are Will, Olivia and maybe Claudia. But only one of those would make it without significant gerrymandering

True - we know quite often they're kept apart on purpose to save the drama for the late shift cameraman...

Yup. The double standards displayed by the girls this season is pretty hard to take. Do they not have ANY self awareness?
