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

Don't remember that game. Has it been done before?

I believe so. Definitely done variations of this one in the past.

The only couples with genuine chemistry are Kai and Sanam and Tom and Samie (although I think Tom secretly had a thing for Claudia). Shaq is clearly in love with Tanya, but she's very flakey.

Ron is absolutely not into Lana.

And Rosie is not into Casey.

The challenge is interesting as they won’t allow twitter or lie detector for mental health but they’re promoting this. I think they realised they had no content left and have thrown a grenade

Agree with all of this.

I think Rosie was secretly missing Claudia because Casey couldn't paw at her all the time and now he's going to be all over her, which she looks like she doesn't particularly enjoy

This

maybe the producers had it right, Shaq is easy to flare up so important to keep. It was the irony of Shaq saying Tom was easy to wind up like he forgot about dishesgate

The big palaver over who makes whom their breakfast every day seems to have fallen by the wayside since Claudia's bowl and straw doesn't it?

Probs a mass rebellion against smashed avocado on toast.

I actually think that Tom has a terrible temper.

At first I thought Tom was being ridiculously sensitive but the more they went on and on about it it was clear they were being puerile and childish and deliberately goading him.

Whether or not he was overreacting, when someone tells you firmly to stop and they’re not laughing you a genuine friend would respect. ESP a whole group of them standing over him - it must’ve been irritating AF. What did they expect him to do?! They wanted a reaction!

Tanya needs some serious lessons in self awareness.

I reckon Kai and Sanam might win - imagine the kick in the teeth to Olivia that would be!

Shaq really doesn't know when to stop. He did the same with the dishes and Ron. He just kept going tonight.

Thought it was really strange they were all stood around Tom and Samie winding them up, like school bullies. They must all be bored shitless!!

They've def done top three challenges before. They did it the year Georgia was in and she was fuming she wasn't one of the top three most loyal couples 😂😂

Toby and sports day. An absolute classic!

Cheers for the spoilers just minutes after the episode finished. Do you know that not everyone can watch live? Say what you want in the thread but please keep the title free of spoilers as it does appear in active threads.

I’ve been waiting hours to post this as the thread was closed. But thanks again for ruining it for me!

Huh?!? Maxwell and Olivia were voted off YESTERDAY. It's your responsibility not to look at the LI thread if you haven't seen yesterday's episode

I completely agree with this. I also think it will have been ego for Shaq too as he was in the bottom group whereas Tom & Samie weren't, so this was his way of getting one up.

As an aside, I think Samie is absolutely stunning (& Ron would definitely have gone there over Lana if she'd given him a chance!)

Perhaps you could kindly let us all know when you're all caught up in future and give your permission to post. 😅

I watched the clip again to get why Shaq got in more than Will but it’s because they had agreed to let it go but Shaq just couldn’t, he had to have the last word. I didn’t like it as by this point Tom couldn’t win because he’d let them know hours earlier it was annoying and the group mentality had surrounded him. Strangely that was a moment that Claudia was quite good at sorting out.

Isn’t that the whole point of a discussion group - to talk about what you’ve just seen? I don’t tend to watch the programme until about 10.30 and I’ve learned never to come onto this group until after I’ve watched it, makes sense really doesn’t it.
Tanya amazes me with the lack of self-awareness. YesTanya, of course you were in the bottom 4 because the public thought you and Martin were more suited 😂😂, nothing to do with you cheating on Shaq.
Plus she and Shaq keep saying to each other that they know how they feel about each other when they’re together, uh, it’s when you’re not together and Tanya gets amnesia that’s the problem.

Not as much as that comment makes you seem

Chill out, Olivia.

Is it just me that finds it a bit crap it looks like we've had what 4-5 episodes in a row ( after tomorrow) it'll have been all crap arguing?

I know arguing is a basic component of entertainment but a whole week of it feels a bit much.

Also I think I'm on Tom's side in tonight's episode. To be a footballer even for Macclesfield you've gotta be quite driven and competitive. For the other team to have cheated and then been gloating for so long must have been tiresome.

Wills wind up speech was crap the first time and then the second time I thought I'd accidentally rewound it. The boys also acknowledged that whilst it was stupid ( it was!) It was bothering him and that after a short while they were gonna stop, that didn't happen and instead they surrounded him to carry on and it was really dry. I think its telling that Samie originally thought Tom was being silly but also ended up annoyed
.

Don't know what to make of Shaqs response because he's been relatively chill recently after earlier observations of his attitude with Tanya but he was confrontational tonight when he knew he was purposefully winding Tom. I don't think it's that strange though as Tom was sounding a bit threatening for want of a better word.

Once they said the goodbyes it was a fairly dull episode. Will be interesting to see what Liv says on the outside.

Don’t be ridiculous, I’m just saying maybe don’t put it in the thread TITLE a few minutes after the episode. Obviously I know not to go into the thread until I’ve caught up.

I understand your point. The timing of the new thread (at the end of the episode on Wednesday) meant anyone not watching live would have seen the spoiler in Active.

However, the thread was closed down pretty quickly and only made live again during last night's episode so wasn't in Active for very long.

I think you must have just been unlucky to see it when you did.

One to bear in mind when the next thread is created @TellingBone . (Incidentally, I wish we had thread numbers in the titles!).
