Love Island 2023 - Maxwell and Liv have been run out of town. We've got our bikinis on upside-down

[TellingBone]

Who will go with them? Is there time for new bombshells? 12 days to go. Bring it.

#Never #No regreeets

Jessie’s almost unrecognisable from when she was in LI Aus. I watched the series with her in but, annoyingly, can’t remember what she was like and whether she’s similar this time round.

Just looked Jessie up on YT in the Aus version that poster is awful of her but I also think she looks better now than in that version of the show.

We’ll get to see the sweet and vulnerable side of Samie and Tom tonight. They will be the couple the sponsors want on board and they will be edited to ensure they reclaim those lost votes!

First look looks like a last 15 minute only episode which is probably a good thing for Ron. It’s back to the “three musketeers”.

If that's true, why have they just spent 2 episodes turning the public against Samie?!

But... she was the one that made the mess?!

Samie made it difficult for the editing team if big if they were favouring them because the conversation became wide spread and did not die down. Similar to Rosie had Samie just spoken to Tom had a quick bitch there could have been a decision in whether to show it.

The point of the show is about exploring connections though, as long as you don't treat people terribly then I don't think it's inherently a bad thing. Trouble is now couples know that usually the best way to win and to make money outside is to be in a strong couple who have had a 'journey'. I do wonder if this was what shaq and Tanya were planning, having her head turned but ultimately realising she wanted to be with him, trouble is it came across as toxic rather than romantic.

Did they though or were they trying to show Ron (and Lana by default) in a bad light?

They want the favourites knocked back so their fans will vote repeatedly to get them into the top slots again presumably.

I guess they make money from people voting!

I guess they make money from people voting!

Isn't the voting free?

Anyway, Samie and Tom have lost my vote. Samie should have followed Ron's advice about cruising to the final 😜She's clearly not very bright.

I cannot believe they are that stupid to have failed so miserably then? What they showed was surely never going to show Ron in a bad light, completely the opposite.

I think you'll find that Samie is "ungenuine".

Yes, that too!

I think you mean "disingenuine" don't you?

I don’t think the bitching and twisting things came from nowhere, more that it was contained within groups and producers decided it was better to stay that way rather than viewers hating everyone. Once the whole villa is involved then there’s no choice such as Jessie fake drama. Olivia and Maxwell leaving has left Shaq and Tanya floating and the bitching and gossiping has filtered between groups, to the point even Sanam and Kai are involved.

I meant disingenuous

not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

No such word...

Yes, Olivia going has certainly had an impact!

I suspect that, as someone else said, the knowledge Samie gleaned from the challenge that involved finding out that she and Tom were popular, has emboldened her to start acting like her real self. I always did feel that she was holding back.

@MyopicBunny

PP are joking as the love islanders keep using the wrong word instead of saying disingenuous.

It was a joke/reference to Kai saying it. Before they all started saying "ungenuine" instead.

I'm sure Olivia said it too. Or disgenuine.

God, the 3 musketeers on today’s first look are insufferable, especially Will. He would do my head in, could not live in a villa with him, attention seeking twit.

she looks so much better brunette!

Oh god, really?? My memory clearly is crap lol.

I agree. He's also not the nice guy he makes himself out to be.
