Place marking, I'm a little behind on catch tonight.. let's hope I can stay awake!

Puffalicious · 12/03/2023 22:46

Go Kai&Sanam!

Urgh Casey is so smarmy

Tanya has got an amazing derriere -very pert😅 She's also very fresh faced compared to many of the others who are already using filler and/or botox at such a young age and look older than their purported ages.

I like her and Shaq together. They've gone through ups and downs same as Tom/Samie and Ron/Lana, and they seem to have arrived at a happy place.

I don't think Shaq' sister hates Tanya, she's just being a very protective sister. As long as Tanya behaves on the outside (and she seems genuine now) and Shaq stays happy, his sisters and family will def come round.

The squealing is hilarious. She's young. Let her squeal away.

Place marking - loved Tanya's Mum and Auntie - pure class

Place marking. I stopped watching last week and just reading the thread instead. It's about 10 times more entertaining!

pizzawinecake · 13/03/2023 11:54

Did anyone think Will was even more irritating than normal on aftersun? I could not deal with a partner like that.

Seems like the panel on aftersun all secretly (or not so secretly) want Kai and sanam to win. Tanya on the other hand absolutely doesn't seem to want them to do well- I think she's struggling to understand why they are more popular than her as they probably come across as a bit boring. I really enjoy that this year we are rooting for the wholesome couple rather than the drama filled couple or beautiful couple. I think that's a reflection on how unlikeable they've all been this year

Yes, Tanya really can't get over the fact that Kai & Sanam are more popular than her. It annoys her so much!

Also, it should be a message to the moronic trio, that people really didn't enjoy watching their "banter"

Place marking. Thanks for the new thread

Boulshired · 13/03/2023 12:50

I do have some sympathy for the contestants this year. Claudia and some of the other wealthy ones can afford decent PR but some of the others have embarrassed themselves or let the game get into their head for very few followers (in LI terms). The risk and reward of love island this year has been too much risk but those still in aren’t aware of that.

Ugh same Confused

Autienotnautie · 13/03/2023 13:05

I agree the ones with links to fame like Claudia and Gemma (last series) definitely know how to present themselves. I'm definitely for Kai and Sanam, I likeTom too and Lana just not keen on Samie and Ron. I don't think Tanya likes Shaq she's eyes on the prize. But they won't win.

I've only just watched the life after love island programme and despite really not liking coco from the previous show I did feel bad for her that she had gone back to being a shot girl (I think she's moved on now). But also the show clearly highlighted how youngsters think being on the show makes you instantly wealthy - I think the cons need to be highlighted a bit more for balance.

Yes, I think Rosie is at risk of suffering Coco's fate.

Whatdayisitalexa · 13/03/2023 14:44

It depends on if they're in it for fame and money or to find love I think, either or must be a bonus, those looking for love and don't win the votes are still winning, some would say more so...I'm a love islander get me out of here!!

LikeTearsInRain · 13/03/2023 15:11

So gassed

Probably more Layla, I think Rosie might already have family wealth

mrsrobin · 13/03/2023 15:43

I cba to watch anymore - the last episode is so boring. I actually like Lana and Ron, but think maybe Sanam and Kai should win. Tanya I just can't watch anymore! I don't really care who wins. I am finding the format boring now, it needs to change.

BlibBlabBlob · 13/03/2023 16:10

Still trying to decide whether I should watch the final tonight or just read about it on here... definitely going to catch up on Aftersun though! Interested to see the Will/Casey interaction for sure.

vjg13 · 13/03/2023 16:32

I really don't want Tanya and Shaq to win but don't really care about the others.

Show quote history

Family wealth shouldn't come into it surely? These people have jobs/incomes before they apply... they're supposed to be looking for love..that's the goal according to their spiel! Anything else is a bonus regarding making more money..for the genuine ones anyway
