Did someone make a new thread already? I’ll get this deleted if so but I couldn’t see one!

maybe it’s just me but throughout last night’s episode I just kept seeing Chandler Bing instead of Mitch. Anyone else?

As I was saying….

I think the series is just too long, I enjoyed the first few weeks but it's dragging now and evident most of them hate each other! I don't think there any genuine couples either aside from W&L who seem quite chilled but into eachother, I reckon most will be relieved when they can finally go home.

I think Scotts heart hasn't been in it since Catherine, it's a shame that didn't work out as they both seemed so happy in eachothers company, I suspect he will be popular when he gets out though. I think him and Lochan are the most decent out of the boys, they both seem quite mature and both self aware and aware of others too; even though Scott isn't really into Abi I think a lot of the dickhead stuff stemmed from wanting to defend her.

Ty is awful, he's so focused on the game that I think he's screwed his chances of winning, I don't know Ella puts up with him talking to her friends like that- embarrassing. Molly and Zac are confusing to me, I think he does genuinely like her but perhaps doesn't know how to handle someone like her? As in I imagine he hasn't met many posh theatre kids that are also absolutely gorgeous and seem to be nice- and vice versa for her so they seem on different pages even though both somewhat happy if that makes sense? I've never been much of a believer in opposites attract though, not convinced they'll last at all outside. I feel for Jess as it's so obvious to everyone else Sammy has just settled for her (I think she's stunning and has a great personality so I don't think she's lesser than him at all but he's said as much along with the flip flopping). I think sadly when she sees that she will leave him. Ella B hates Mitch it's so obvious but she'll cling on I expect so as not to go home.

The vibes feel different this time, like I said I really enjoyed the first few weeks as lots of fun challenges and seemed to be a good mix of people, but the past fortnight or so has been hard to watch.

W&L are really annoying me now, because they seem to think they are bloody relationship oracles. Always talking about other couples, always giving advice they were not asked for.

The wording from Ty to Whitney can't just be brushed over .... I think if it was any other guy there other than Lochan he would of got both barrels back. Incredibly rude and nasty behaviour. Him and Ella deserve each other !

What did Ty say? I can't remember his specific words

PerfectYear321 · 26/07/2023 12:37

Ella is all talk and no action. The kind of girl that says "I know my worth" while chasing after a loser. Like when she told Ella B that she wouldn't fight over a man.....while fighting for a man 🤔

Last night Scott's hands were literally in his hands when Abi was accepting her award and there was all the sniping. I think he's repelled by her now and it's partly because she's chasing him. He literally said "I've not had to work for it".

Totally agree

@PerfectYear321 agree with all of this

perhaps Scott likes the chase

jay55 · 26/07/2023 13:02

I'd love it if Ty, Mitch and both Ella's left.
It would be nice to see the villa without Ty running the place.

ThomasHardyPerennial · 26/07/2023 13:05

Hmm..."angry" makes me think Mitch and Ella!

Tormundsbeard · 26/07/2023 13:13

I think Mitch looks like Charlie Dean from Hollyoaks. Can’t do a link to an image because I’m crap

Mitch is a very angry man.

FiloPasty · 26/07/2023 13:29

User98866 · 26/07/2023 13:31

I’ve discovered that reading threads about LI is possibly more entertaining than watching it. It’s interesting how different forums seem to have quite different views. The tattle one is hilarious and most on the money IMO. Ty is completely vile. Toxic masculinity to the core. He’s attacked Whitney so many times and no one has held him to account once. Ella should have picked Ouzy and I think they could have won. Mitch seems completely unhinged and I’m slightly worried about his MH. I think Sammy seems to have got off lightly. His behaviour has possibly been the worst of the boys yet people seem to be going along with the whole cheeky chappy thing. Infuriating. I think Jess must be aware there’s no romantic interest between them. He’s literally said multiple times that he’s not attracted to her sexually! She seems more like his big sister. But why did he not learn from the whole Jibberty debacle that the public HATE the whole cringe ‘girlfriend’ act. IIR Jake was crucified on SM for it. I think they will go first.

Pepsimaxcherry91 · 26/07/2023 13:32

Agree actually. I don’t think Sammy has a temper as such, not as much as Mitch or Ty anyway

Unicornhornn · 26/07/2023 13:36

Zach and Molly are so different, I think he is very attracted to her physically but that might be it.

I think it’s Ella B and Mitch to go, but then again I can’t see her bursting into tears about it. Her face said it all last night after Mitch’s performance. That was so cringy to watch

Purplepocket · 26/07/2023 13:38

This is what I think.

I noticed that Ella had a big laugh when Ty first shouted out that Lochan ‘pillow talks’ with Whitney too much.

But then the smile dropped off her face when he said he doesn’t tell her anything.

She seems like a nice enough girl, but he will ruin her, he’s already got her looking stupid standing up talking about ‘no mixed messages’ when she just had to concede that there were with the last kiss comment.

Hopefully she’ll wise up, but when her own mother is praying for marriage and bambinos I won’t hold my breath. But you hate to see it.

Messy Mitch is totally unhinged. But then so is Abi, so a match made in heaven (hell?)

Whitney makes too many little ‘comments’, however that doesn’t justify the way Ty/Zach spoke to her. But she should rein it in, as she can’t be laughing at Zachs reaction ‘over a challenge’ when we just witnessed that whole smug/Ella debacle. I loved Lochans comments and agreed with everything he said.

Mollys just sat there with nothing to say as usual. No idea why they brought her back, she brings nothing.

Sammy needs to shut up, always got a dig to make. Jess handled it well though.

I thought Ella B handled the Ty/OG Ella bits well, but she must have been cringing at Mitch.

Can’t remember the rest

I can imagine Mitch getting angry but Ella B wouldn't cry her eyes out. Wonder who it is? 🫣

CellophaneFlower · 26/07/2023 13:41

Am I alone in thinking Sammy is genuinely attracted to Jess now? He certainly appears to be and it doesn't seem fake to me. I really think Jess' personality has won him over and I'm usually an old cynic 😂

It would crack me up if it was Whitney and Lochan 😂 The tears/anger doesn't fit that way round but perhaps they are so shocked they go into total meltdown!

No you're not alone and I used to really dislike Sammy

Purplepocket · 26/07/2023 13:38

Surely not?!

I would be surprised because in first look it says "at risk of leaving". That usually means it's the islanders choosing from the bottom couples. I can't imagine they'd choose J&S to leave especially as they are the only official couple and the question is most compatible!
