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

I can't believe I sat through an hour and 40 minutes of that unbelievably repetitive and tedious show (honestly thought it was never going to end! 😬) for that travesty of a result! The result was the exact opposite of what I wanted.

Jess and Sammy have actually won Love Island? It's surreal and bizarre and RIDICULOUS.

I throw my TV remote down in disgust 😡.

So you wanted Zach and Molly to win and Jess and Sammy to come fourth?

I think it did, but I'm glad we saw that side.

Yes, I agree. I thought Whitney was an absolute sweetheart until that point. Then the argument made Jess look so sweet in comparison. Idk how she kept her cool all that time tbh. I know I’d be like a pressure cooker in there!

Andi2020 · 31/07/2023 23:18

I think Jess just put up with Sammy in the end up with her eye on the 50k.
She didn't seem to enjoy the final date.
She should stand up for herself and dump him.
They remind me of them 2 the boy kept saying your my gurlfriend. Can't remember their names so instead of Jess loosing her chance if winning she put up with him. I actually think Mitch was nicer to Jess than Sammy ever was.

Yes, exact same situation but Sammy was able to mask his true feelings towards the end unlike that guy

Siameasy · 31/07/2023 23:28

The vote was for Jess and I’m not surprised as that type of woman is usually popular with viewers. “Down to earth”. I knew she would win when she on had that hot pink dress. This season’s top colour.

Jess definitely knows that Sammy is not attracted to her.
She seemed to be over the whole thing tbh..
If Scott had managed to fake it with Abi then they would probably won.
The fact that he couldn’t fake it shows that he definitely liked Catherine contrary to what people were saying

Siameasy · 31/07/2023 23:36

Agree Jess looked tired

WinterDeWinter · 31/07/2023 23:37

Right that’s it - not watching it next year. Really much more pissed off than I should be!

IAmKenough · 31/07/2023 23:38

That series was the end of my Love Island journey. What a pile of shite.

None of them deserved to win.

Oh no. Sammy will be obliged to stay with her a lot longer than he planned

😂

He'll be taking notes from Davide

Don't mind me. I'm just going to share all the funny ones I find 😭

I definitely saw that 😂
I bet he's wishing he could pull them all round the fire pit and have his usual tantrums

True....a fair few comments have reflected that Scott must have liked Catherine cos it kinda went downhill for him relationship wise after her.
I blame Ty for sowing the seeds of doubt which likely made Cat stray (or stray faster) in Casa.
He got his karma though....he never imagined losing to Sammy 😩😂

Jake and Liberty!

PerfectYear321 · 01/08/2023 00:51

Look at him with his fresh trim

Scott was the best looking bloke in there. I wonder why he didn't have much luck?

@Justashley I've never got all the Jess love. I think it's a shame she's settled for an idiot like Sammy...and tbh her accent annoys the heck out of me.

Me too!

Goodiewhemper · 01/08/2023 05:46

Love Jess and happy for her to do well but dear lord Sammy! 😲 Apart from the fact that he said so often that he didn't fancy Jess, did everyone forget his earlier behaviour and how he spoke to and treated so many of the women and made them cry? The only positive about Sammy winning was that it was at the expense of Tyrique who was only worse by a margin. Sammy and Ty were the two worst men on there - always scheming and looking for opportunities to cause trouble. Whitney may have been wrong in her argument with Ella but it seems to me that people are more prepared to forgive a calculating mediocre man than an opinionated beautiful woman. What a result and what a message it sends out.

TerfTalking · 01/08/2023 06:17

Wellllllll. Just watched on replay, definitely not what I expected. I really thought t it would be between Ella and Ty and Mawlie and Bro.

Mollie and Ella’s faces were very telling because they clearly both thought it would be between them too!

rockingbird · 01/08/2023 06:25

Just sat and watched it as up far too early.. Molly and Ella were clearly pissed off 🤣 Jess won, not Sammy. She's a lovely girl and I hope to god her friends put her straight on that weasel and find her a real man..!

CellophaneFlower · 01/08/2023 06:34

Well I still think Sammy genuinely likes Jess now, or he must be a really good actor! Wanted them to win. Molly was definitely holding back the tears at losing, put me off her a bit. Not convinced by W+L, but I do reckon the other 3 couples will stay together for a while and not just for the deals.

Maya seems to fuck up quite a bit and should just own it rather than pretend it doesn't happen. I like that she seems to enjoy the show, but don't think she's the greatest presenter in the world. Stunning though.

I never get the "this is the worst series ever and never watching again" comments on here. It is what it is - these kind of shows always end up samey and lose their freshness pretty quickly. There's been some funny bits, drama, and lots of wtf moments. That's all I expect really.

I agree she’s smarter than she’s letting on. Mal said sammy said multiple times in earshot of her he wasn’t interested as he didn’t find her attractive. I give it 6 months tops with them but who knows they might surprise us.

It’s true and I believe love island were aware the public would be less ready to forgive Whitney which is why they set her up with the whole “most popular thing”. However she did play into their hands I think, after they told her she was voted most popular she could’ve at least pretended to be more humble - I believe had she handled that differently she may have won. Also it may also be because Jess and Sammy were bf/gf and made declarations of love and sammy’s “bad bits” were a bit less recent so people had time to forgive him.
