Love Island 2023 - Thread 3 - It's giving Awkward...!

[MotherofKitties]

New thread as old one nearly ran out!

Jess comes across pretty aggressive yes.

He didn't just make that comment to Leah, he was actually swearing, which in itself is an aggressive action. But it's obv some people get a pass

Like I said earlier, if no one in the villa likes him, then maybe he's not likeable. I doubt Cat would be able to influence how the boys feel about anything or anyone

Yes that's odd, but it's a Leah and Montel issue. Maybe she's naive or a bit of a doormat, I dont know. Leah did give Sammy a harder time, so it's not like she was targeting Scott

@AussieKoala Catherine is consistently dismissive of Scott. She speaks over him when he tries to talk. She gives him dirty looks. She's derogatory about him and when talking to him. When the girls were all around the fire pit discussing him in this evenings episode she said "anyway, ANYWAYYYY" to move the conversation away from him in a way that intimated he's irrelevant and didn't warrant talking about.

When she came back from casa she was rude to Scott at the recoupling. When Leah was having her chat with Scott she told Montel to just go and get Leah as it was pointless as they would never be friends. Again, underhanded remark about Scott which was apparent from the context of the situation.

She is consistently horrid to him and it's as if she thinks she's better than him. At the movie night she was saying the only reason he didn't move on in casa is because no one wanted him not because he's loyal. She essentially wants to be vindicated for her actions but is disrespecting him in the process rather than trying to see where he's coming from and allowing him space to voice his feelings.

It's as if she's worried that if his feelings are validated by her or anyone else she will come across badly to the public so she is trying to minimise anything he says and make him look like the bad guy. It's horrible to watch and I am concerned for his mental health.

She does not seem like a nice person and I cannot stand watching her on my tele

On aftersun they were discussing the way Catherine interacts with Scott and one of the guests said she seems to have "ancestral hate for Scott, did he karate kick her?" It is quite clear for all to see that she has a disdain for Scott and treats him accordingly

I actually hesitated about using that word knowing how it can be interpreted! Maybe it's the edit, but she seems to have been unrelentingly hostile towards him. And yes, maybe there's a good reason and we've not been shown it. 🤷‍♀️

How is any of this aggressive?

And how does it compare with Jess who's had several actual shouting matches?

Scott was speaking to Leah and swore. That's aggressive.

You clearly do not like her, I've noticed you make multiple negative comments (over several days ) about how . However that doesn't mean she's a nasty or aggressive person.

Hostile and aggressive are different things

Many islanders have been hostile to someone else, but only one is called aggressive.

I'm watching Jess shouting (again) and Sammy actually asked her to shop shouting. But she's not aggressive?
Quelle surprise

@AussieKoala it's the delivery of all of it that has been aggressive

I genuinely don’t understand why the Scott hatred from the other islanders. He’s absolutely gorgeous and a really lovely guy. Him lashing out at Leah came from a place of feeling humiliated. I said just yesterday that I can see him leaving and I think it even more so now.

Waiting for specific examples of actual aggression because what you've described is at best mean girl behaviour

Found this on Twitter of Leah saying the comment

"ancestral"? Bloody hell. Are people annoyed she chose a black man over a white man?

Otherwise I'm not understanding the ott hate for Catherine. She did Scott dirty but FFS it's love Island. Where is this energy for the other dirty dogs that are on and have been on Love Island?

Even BooHoo has jumped on the Catherine hate train. It's disproportionate

@PerfectYear321 when he said ancestral I think he meant very deep seated that it goes far back because it's disproportionate based on such a short time

I loved the last section on Aftersun where they had Whitney and lochan (sp?) on. They seemed so natural and happy together. I already loved Whitney before but since she is with him she's so happy. They genuinely seemed really like a normal happy couple. Not conscious of the camera (well they must have been but didn't show it) and just really into each other. Would love them to win.

Faye is on Aftersun FFS. She was the very definition of aggressive and got treated with kid gloves

Thank you!

Same ones who were saying how Scott couldn't like Cat and no chemistry bla bla...and now she's the worst villain for going with someone whom she felt actually liked her.

She's not my fave islander but there is def a whiff of something funny going on.

She was literally the most aggressive islander ever. They also made sure they kept her in for a redemption arc but you can't really forget that behaviour. Funnily enough though, in her season lots of islanders said she was really lovely

Oh yeah and Sammy pulling Jess after Movie night and the first words out of his mouth were “don’t blow it out of proportion” before she’d even said anything. What a prick.

No she didn’t. There was a huge public outcry and she got a warning and had to apologise.

@AussieKoala in response to your comment that I don't seem to like Catherine, that is correct. I believe I've said so in those exact terms before. At the start of the season I liked her and then went to not minding her as she didn't seem to bring much by way of personality but I found her inoffensive. At this point her behaviour has been quite consistently horrid and I now do not like her

It's her behaviour, she didn't just come back and say I've met someone I connect better with, she has been horrible to him and about him to others. I know you're implying everyone who isn't a huge fan of her behaviour are nasty little racists but I am black and it is perfectly possible to dislike black women due to their behaviour without anything else going on. Plenty of people have also been critical of jess, I agree with you she comes across as genuinely pretty aggressive.

More or less the same.
