Love Island 2023. Thread 4. Don't be afraid to catch feelz!

[WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps]

New thread now!

Starting on the episode aired on Sunday 16th July 2023.

May be the last one. !!!

Zac is a giggling ninny. Quite the opposite of his cultivated street persona.

I never understand their argument that strong couples should stay. No, shouldn't couples with potential stay? The strong couples have found what they came for, so why should nobody else have a chance?

Exactly. Catherine and Elom going should've taught them something. They're welcome to explore their strong connection on the outside by all means, but we're not here to watch it!

Whitney and Lochan were instructed whom to save I reckon. Hence the piss-poor reason they gave - 'character'.

I'd have saved them too 🤷🏼‍♀️

First look is out....Ella trying to drag Whitney down. It's hilarious 😅

First look looks very juicy. I think Ty and Ella are trying to drag W&L down because they were the most popular and they are jealous. Very obvious

So bored of the same idiot every year pretending to be bad boy gone good to win. It's sooooo obvious and irritating - that's regarding Ty and his fake ass story line

Those chocolate covered strawberries looked like shit on a plate 😂

Blatantly obvious.

Weren’t they talking yesterday and Ty said ‘why weren’t we the favourite then’, or something, and Ella replied you’re my favourite.

I don’t understand how so many people ‘ship’ them, their relationship is so toxic, and he talks to everyone, including her, like shit.

@PicturesOfDogs what's weird is that Ella and Whitney have been so close so it's such a quick turnaround which just shows everyone goes in there for the advancement of their careers and not to find love. Which is fine and we are viewers know that as it isn't Love Island of old. But still, be a bit less obvious about it Ty and Ella. They will do themselves no favours

All prepared and waiting on a plate in the fridge too 🧐

I think just as viewers' opinions can change really quickly, so can the other islanders. None of them really know each other very well, so perhaps Ella is genuinely seeing a side to Whitney she doesn't like. Judging by comments on this thread I know I'm not the only one to have noticed some Queen Bee behaviour that I didn't see before. She is funny and has a sparky personality (some of them appear to have no personality whatsoever Ouzy and Amber for example) and this is what makes her appealing. But she has her faults.

I remember I loved Dami at the start last year and gradually, as I got to "know" him better, I completely reversed my opinion of him.

And did they eat those strawberries? What a waste! DD was outraged .

You saw Ty making them in the first half of the episode x

ah, thanks - I didn't see that bit :)

I wonder if Ella/Ty and Whitney/Lochlan could end up all losing out in their power struggle. Wouldn’t be surprised if Jess/Sammy stay under the radar and end up winning just like Kai/Sanam last time 🤔

I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I’m going off Whitney

I've loved her, but the way she spoke to Abi last night really got my back up. Okay, Abi might be a bit of a boiler, but what she was saying was correct, it is Whitney's OPINION that Abi's reaction was bitterness, not fact. She is not Abi, she cannot know her mind. To sit there and stare at someone and repeatedly speak over her and say 'That's fact' is so arrogant. I hate folk that do that shit. Does she know the meaning of the word fact? If she'd done that to me she'd have been told to fuck off. I'm admittedly hot-headed, but someone telling me what I think or feel would have me boiling.

I've completely gone off her over this. Abi is a nightmare, but when she said 'I didn't realise I'm not allowed to have an opinion' I applauded her. If Whitney wins I'll be annoyed. Not cool, not cool at all.

Agree completely.

It was that "it's a fact" when talking about another person's feelings that made me 🤨

also, if the producers don't want them to win, they'll have seen how popular she is/was and hope she starts to become to smug so they can start showing her in a different light

I really do want Jess to win. I can’t bring myself to ever vote for Sammy though, she will lose out because of him.

I don’t really rate Whitney and Lochlan either, although I do/did love Whit. Mitch is a complete weirdo, Zach and Molly are so incredibly dull, love Scott but not Abi…I think Ty and Ella might be my winners. Didn’t ever see myself saying that.

If only Jess and Scott were together!

Ty and Ella are the most believable couple who had an instant attraction and have a relationship from it. I do want them to win but it is pretty slim pickings with the others!

Jess has a winning personality. Unfortunately she got fixated on the wrong boy.

Yes!

As Yosof said, if only she and Scott (total gentleman) were together.

If hamster-cheeked misogynist Sammy wins I will scream.

Jess is such a kind human being, and he’s groomed her so quickly. I’ve genuinely find it quite shocking to watch it unfold before our very eyes.

in two years time she’ll be blaming herself because she presses his buttons and she should learn to keep it zipped all the time, not just most of it. And he really apologised and anyway she can’t leave him because she doesn’t know what he might do to himself.

Cheeks of a hamster - eyes of a shark.
