Ty is one of my favourite islanders ever!

We need badges!

WhatWillIWear · 08/07/2023 08:39

Also loved Whitney and Catherine as his Agony Aunties. Grin

Wonder if the two of them could turn that into a TV show …

Aw come on, Ouzy is beautiful! He's a sportsman and a model, he's lean, he doesn't look bloody homeless. That's an horrid thing to say.

Yup, some nasty comments on here. I thought we were better than saying someone looks like a junkie 🤬

I agree with this! I think I’m afraid it’s Eurocentric beauty ideals which are fuelling people to say Ouzy is better looking ie. His skin and more to the point his eyes are lighter than Ty’s.

I can see why he is a model as he does have a kind of unique look but Ty is way more handsome IMO. I wouldn’t say Ouzy looks unhealthy but he’s very gaunt in the face.

I personally have said my 3 favourites lookswise are Ty, Ouzy and Montel. It's Ouzy's physique that is most appealing to me, nothing to do with him being lighter skinned 😒

Imo Tyrique hasn't grown as a person at all. He just doesn't fancy anyone else as much as he does Ella. Casa would of gone very differently if he had.

And if Mawlee hadn't been there. I think her presence ruined any hopes of Ty and Scott behaving the way they would have.

Exactly this.
Remember, Ty is best mates with Toby, runner up of LI. No doubt Toby has coached Ty about how to go on and win over the public(and the girl)
I don’t believe for one minute Ty has suddenly had an epiphany. He’s just doing what he has to do to stay in/win.

WhatWillIWear · 08/07/2023 09:12

Mmm … I didn’t see whichever season Toby was in. Did he give the impression of being calculating and primed to win (or come second)? Because otherwise I’m not sure how he’d have a clue what makes a particular islander appealing. Who would have guessed the world’s most boring screen couple would have won last season? Ty isn’t taking lessons from them, is he?

So I’m not sure I agree with you, @Newyearnewmeow … Sometimes you can actually see him processing new thoughts - as someone said above. Sometimes he looks ashamed and then tries a different tack. He seems too honest and impulsive to be the person you suggest. (#Blindedbybeauty? Grin)

Meloncooler · 08/07/2023 09:14

Just catching up. I feel for Scott, Catherine was very dismissive in that conversation

Meloncooler · 08/07/2023 09:16

I love Whitney. She carries herself so well. Didn’t see much of her and Lochan on tonight’s episode.

Also agree Zachs crocs and socks a turn off!

Looking foreword to Movie Night

Meloncooler · 08/07/2023 09:17

Glad Jess stuck up for herself but I agree that they probably wouldn’t last on the outside. She also deserves a lot better

Toby had a very successful redemption arc. He messed his couple girl (Chloe) around and seemed like a total player, bouncing from one girl to the next, before realising Chloe was actually the one he wanted and winning her back.

Ty's speech to Ella last night seemed so disingenuous and she looked baffled by the turnaround. Their hug at the end was stiff and awkward and I'm not buying it at all.

EddieHowesShithousingMags · 08/07/2023 11:32

Even the boys have raved over how fit Ouzy is and objectively they’re all good looking lads so for him to be worth of comment it’s clear he has a little something extra. He’s almost not real in how good he looks.

Having said that, I think facially he has more than a passing resemblance to the ‘hot felon’ guy who was boffing Chloe wotserface for a bit. Jeremy Meeks? Something like that.

I hope Catherine gets voted out asap. She’s awful. So rude and dismissive of Scott.

if there is a recoupling Scott is going to be left to recouple with Amber which I think might leave him at risk which is a shame. I’d be happy to see Catherine and Elom go as well as Ella and Sammy individually.

Me too. Is there an unconscious bias in there because he's from Edinburgh? The old Trainspotting sterotype? 😡

Someone also commented on his voice being like David Beckham. It's not squeaky at all! WTF? He's just softly spoken and quite shy.

I can't be doing with the colour undertone on here (was way worse last year, but still). Now we're wrong for saying Ouzy is handsome as he's mixed race? FFS. Because he's not as black as Ty that's somehow racist to say he's good-looking? The best looking people by far this year are people of colour- Ouzy/ Ty/ Ella/Whitney- and most PP agree. Honestly, it's never good enough.

Puffalicious · 08/07/2023 12:22

I personally don't find Catherine terribly attractive. (Or Jess ). Is that okay?

Pepsimaxcherry91 · 08/07/2023 12:33

I think there will be a couple more bombshells, probably coming in on Movie Night and then a recouping/dumping soon after

After9 · 08/07/2023 12:35

Keep seeing this photo all over social media

Well … They must be constantly aware of the cameras …

Maybe they got them to do the hugging thing half a dozen times - and the producers decided on that particular take?

Who knows what’s really going on?

‘Having said that, I think facially he has more than a passing resemblance to the ‘hot felon’ guy who was boffing Chloe wotserface for a bit. Jeremy Meeks? Something like that.’

I thought the same! Probably what gives him the slightly skeazy vibes, not saying he is though.

Chloe of Chloe/Toby has way more personality and charisma than Ella. She made their couple journey more charming, Toby was a bit of a dum dum bless him.

Sleazy vibes?! Sammy/ Elon are FAR more sleazy.

Rollergirl11 · 08/07/2023 19:38

Just caught up on last nights. Awwww, I felt really sad when Scott was sat with Amber and he was saying he didn’t think they could go and join any of the conversations and then Amber got up and left him. Scott is really isolated and seems to spend a lot of time on his own and I think it’s because he didn’t bow down to Ty that time and isn’t a follower like the others. That and the way Catherine is treating him makes me worry that he might leave soon. 😓

And the constant criticisms of his kirby grips are really unsavoury. And weirdly I defended it, and my comment got reported and removed 🤷🏼‍♀️

In your opinion is the key thing, people aren't in the wrong to find him more attractive than Ty ffs.

LindorDoubleChoc · 08/07/2023 21:03

Well that's really strange @Twonewcats. You just said you didn't mind the hair grips and got deleted? Shock

LindorDoubleChoc · 08/07/2023 21:04

I think there are quite a lot of people who have commented that Ty is incredibly good looking throughout the threads? Including me.

FiloPasty · 08/07/2023 21:13

It’s Ty’s weird neck do you think he needs to see a chiropractor?

I think Ouzy is beautiful and I like the laid back chill, I also like that he was all for Ella and not playing along with everyone, shows maturity. Maybe him and Kady could be a good couple, I’m actually surprised but I do quite like her and how she dealt with Ty.
