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

[MotherofKitties]

New thread as old one nearly ran out!

Short answer...no.... although the OH might disagree perhaps 😂

But if I'm @ then I have the right to respond, especially when I'm not being rude. I'm expressing my own view, which whilst not the popular one on this thread, does not make it any less valid.

Or are you only allowed to comment if you agree with the majority?

lol - I honestly can't be bothered but point proved

I'm really hoping for a vote tonight. Not least because there are too many people to try and keep up with and we only get snippets of everyone

I'd love a vote to get Catherine and Ty out.

But all the drama in the villa would suddenly cease

I'd keep Ty but Catherine can go. Mitch brings enough drama! 😂

I want a couple to leave (does that ever happen?) and I want the couple to be Catherine and Elom.

I didn't watch last year as couldn't get into it & am struggling a little this year but watch on catch up while i'm doing other things. There just doesn't seems to be anyone that stands out for any reason this series - nobody is particularly lovely or funny or goofy in any way, I really don't care much who goes or stays or this point.

It is interesting how scripted/manipulated it is though in terms of program structure & episode progression. It really does seem so much faker.

I guess the earlier series the contestants weren't quite so hung up on the followers & social media aspect

Wonder who this will be?

It has to be someone coupled up - so Whitney, Leah, Catherine, Ella, Molly, Amber, Abi

Also a couple going from strength to strength so most likely to be Whitney, Catherine or Ella. Can't see any of the boys risking the wrath of Ty.

Perhaps Abi as a means of revenge on Mitch

I fucking hope it's Elom.

Oh my eyes. Apparently Montel declares his regret publicly to Leah. On the balcony with all the other islanders gathered and cheering him on.

Make it stop

I cannot believe the behaviour of some of the boys. Sammy and Montel in particular. What does a guy have to do nowadays to get dumped??! Sorry under normal circumstances these 2 should be out on their ears. I hope impressionable young girls aren't looking at this and thinking "life is all about second chances" SMH🙄🙄

I don't know who watched Aftersun but there was a guest who pointed out Jess is in a very unique situation.

In real life she'd block Sammy and avoid anywhere he goes out and he'd quickly be a distant memory.

In the villa choices her are limited and even if she bins him off she has to be in his proximity 24/7 and probably see him move on with other women right in front of her. So she is tolerating behaviour she wouldn't normally stand for.

Her only other choice is to walk out of the villa but realistically who is going to do that.

I used to think Ella was attractive, but she has such a miserable face on half the time. I don't think she is so much anymore.
Agree Ouzy os much more attractive then Ty.

Gawd, I hope it's not Molly. Wouldn't surprise me if they're couching her and Z as the couple going from strength to strength and trying to present her as more exciting by having someone else hit on her to create a love triangle. If they do, I'm not buying it.

Ah yes it would make sense if it was Molly just due to the strength to strength comment and that there's no drama around them currently.

This situation isn’t unique to Jess though is it? It’s been the same for countless other islanders throughout the seasons. Laura watched Wes move on with Megan. Amy had to watch Curtis move on with Maura. As did Amber with Michael.

...-me who could blame her after that hideous tight pants and sock combo that Zach portrayed the other night. 🤣

@Rollergirl11 Absolutely. However, there were different personalities and dynamics.

Amy walked out. She knew she couldn't handle Curtis moving on.

Laura and Amber were so much more confident than Jess.

Jess seems to believe (wrongly) that Sammy is out of her league. She doesn't believe she could do better.

Hopefully I'm wrong and she'll bin him off and flourish.

I hope so too @kenyaswhiterefrigerator . I mean why would any girl give a boy more time to see if he prefers another girl over her? It’s batshit.

I watched Aftersun for the first time because I wanted to see what people are sayin' on Casa Amor and Movie Night.

Have to say I agree with the dude in woolly hat (been searching and can't find his name on t'internet) on everything. He seems completely astute.

It's not nice to hear booing and I think Maya was absolutely correct to immediately shut it down - but just goes to show how badly Catherine perceived to be behaving.

That cut to Whitney and Lochan in the Hideaway was an embarrassing mess all round, technically.

@LindorDoubleChoc it was Jordan Stephens from Rizzle Kicks. I agree he talks sense!

Just saw this on Twitter, I had forgotten this…

Is this where the not genuine came from (I can’t remember, but think this was before Ty?!?)

Either way, Leah’s clearly not got over the fact she got rejected by Scott. I think it explains why she had so much attitude for him, and wanted to knock him down a peg or two by saying no one wanted him

Exactly this! Hope his mental health is ok after the show.

Watching Aftersun and - as I think pp mentioned yesterday - Whitney seems popular with the public. Long may it continue!
