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. !!!

I can't really get a handle on Scott. I was for him back when Leah etc were rude to him, but now I can kinda see why people wouldn't warm to him in there. Sense that he doesn't really like anyone and doesn't care too much who he upsets. He also kept saying it was fair enough when people pointed out he wasn't that into Abi so I dunno why he was also insisting on the opposite. I think he's a bright good looking feller and he's getting through this but not really invested in LI love or friendships.

@pinkdelight I agree. I felt really sorry for him on movie night but he’s irrationally annoying me now. He has a kind of pent up anger about him and his actions don’t match his words. With both Catherine and Abi he keeps saying how much he wants them but he just seems so … passive? I know he was unhappy when Catherine brought back Elom but it seemed to be more hurt pride than anything.

re Ty, its not just Scott he’s criticising - he’s often passing judgement on other couples as if he’s some expert, when he’s never been in a relationship before. He’s amusing to watch but he’s bloody irritating!

Abi is def trying too hard to convince everyone and herself she’s over Mitch. Though I did laugh when Mitch said to Ella he was going to say his piece and not let things lie - and then said basically nothing when they had the 4 way chat 🤪

Scott's face when Abi launched into more Mitch hate during the clear the air four way chat.

Respect to Ella B for calling that.

Now comments saying that Lochan isn't really into Whit. Zero chemistry apparently....🙄when their relationship is the healthiest and most genuine looking one in the villa.

💯

Creative (selective) editing at play again. Quelle surprise, but more surprising is how some people fall for it time and time again.

I guess they want to rig it so that Molly and Zack win.

Whitney has changed. Her head got big, bla bla.😒 One thing about her is she has shown herself to be a shrewd lady and if she were playing a game, I doubt she would start acting out now when she's so close to the final.

Whitney describing herself as humble: she’s been the opposite of humble.

This made me laugh. I wonder dpes she know what humble means? By all means back yourself but Whitney is Whitneys no.1 fan, she's thought she is better than the others the whole way through with her tell it like it is attitude. The only time she slipped at all was when she was doing the embarrassingly desperate flirting with a very uninterested Zach. But apart from that she's done the whole I don't need to show affection or actually show that I'm into someone, I'm above all of that as a cover for the fact that both her relationship with Medhi and her relationship now are dead before they even started and she is just coasting looking for the win.

She is inauthentic. The others might be messy but at least they have showed some real emotions, Whitney hasn't the whole time she's been in there.

It's so frustrating when anyone likeable has an awful partner.
I wish they'd bring back the steal the winnings option so Jess or Scott could keep the whole prize.

Every word of this. I am #teamwhit too.

Scott liked Catherine. I think it has become more obvious now particularly when you look at his relationship with Abi
He is not interested in Abi and she is not interested in him.

I agree
I can’t understand why the focus on Whitney and Lochlan when the other ‘relationships’ are non existent or toxic

Dont agree about Whitney not showing emotion. She was visibly upset when Mehdi left.
All the relationships are dead tbh

Liked Mitch in the beginning, can’t stand him now, desperate try hard
Liked Molly in the beginning now realise she is such a bad actor trying to get a break
Could never see the attraction in Zac and his accent makes me want to puke, nothing has changed.
Indifferent to Whitney in her Mede days, then liked her now I’ve gone off her.
I still quite like Ty and Ella even though she seems over emotional and I don’t trust him.
Didn’t warm to Jess at first but she’s grown on me and seems very genuine.
Sammy reminds me of my nephew, always grinning for no reason. Irritating.
Abbie, Ella B and Scott? All pointless at this stage.
Lochan? Seems a very nice, genuine guy but too old for LI, like someone’s kindly dad. How old even is he? He looks and acts like he’s 45.

Jess and Lochan should IMO couple up quick to win. 😉

I have no idea why I watch this shit.

"Creative (selective) editing at play again. Quelle surprise, but more surprising is how some people fall for it time and time again."

Good job we've got you putting us right eh @AussieKoala ? You've clearly been taking lessons from Whitney and decided your opinion is FACT when anyone else's opinion is NOT FACT because we're stupid. I'll have to remember to consult you on the Love Island editorial decisions every time I want to make a comment ... just incase I am being too thick to participate in this thread.

And all the time Scott and Abi were together, there were many similar comments claiming he's not into her, zero chemistry etc...

Completely agree

Stupid is a strong word lol

Whitney just kept piling in on Ella.

Re the shower, it all started after the challenge, and as Ella put it, W was getting salty over Ella getting into the shower.
Now, logically, on any other day, she'd have said "oi, ffs Ella, I'm going for a shower too - i wish you'd said you were going in!"
But instead it was straight after the challenge, making snide comments in A Tone. Ella then called her out on it, saying she'd overreacted and that it was clear she was the youngest in her family. Ella didn't start the shit, W did.

Then when she spoke to her at the fire pit, she kept piling on her. She made her point then made it again and again. It was a total overreaction, and Ella was right in saying that this was not about a shower.

I don’t think it’s that the focus is on Whitney and Lochan but that they appear to have next to no chemistry. I agree with the PP who said he’s like a kindly Dad. It’s not a criticism of them but it’s an observation- and one the Islanders have made as well as the viewers.

The only couple who display any chemistry IMO are Ty and Ella - not saying it’s going to be happily ever after - just that they clearly actually fancy each other.

I don’t think Scott is into Abi. I feel sorry for him because there has been no one for him. I think he may actually be too nice and too considered for LI.
I don’t think Molly and Zack are compatible or even that into one another
I don’t think Ella and Mitch are into each other at all. It’s a match made in convenience!
Sammy is definitely not into Jess.

Jess and Scott would have been a good couple potentially.

Agree that W and L have no chemistry at all.
I think Mitch fancies Ella but nothing more than that. Ella doesn't fancy him, tho.

Zach and Molly- i can't make up my mind on them at all.
But I did love how they shrugged off all the comments about them in the challenge, and I enjoyed seeing Z laughing and having fun

@Twonewcats

I am not a fan of Molly’s but even I’ll give them that! 🤣

Zach from casa dating Mal

I have seen lots of comments on social media, people saying they have gone off Whitney now

Suppose Zach/ Molly or Sammy /Jessy will win.
I like Jess but not a fan of Sammy. He doesn’t fancy Jess and is only settling.

Zach and Molly winning would be an anti climax. He is not into Molly and preferred Kady.

She really went OTT about the shower though, then sat staring at ella with a poker face

Definitely all of this. I said yesterday Whitney was way out of line with the 'fact' scene with Abi. She thinks she's the cat's pyjamas. Ella is very annoying, but the 'you have rude traits' whilst herself being incredibly confrontational was ridiculous. Mean girl.

Jess & Scott should be together = win!
