Love Island Thread 5: Roasted Crickets With a Side of Nobhead

[YoSof]

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

Good point, I agree!

Producers are evil. If they can manipulate the viewing public, l can't imagine what they're saying to the remaining cast.

Ooooooh.

Agreed. This series unlike in the past, they’ve been dumping the couple with the fewest votes. I cannot stand Mitch. A walking red flag. And now calling Ella B fake. No she’s not fake. She’s disgusted with you Mitch, your behaviour has been atrocious. You’re being absolutely vile. For me, frightening vibes. I really really hope he doesn’t reconcile with Abi on the outside.

I think the chance of that is zero. With a world full of other men why would she even go near him? I don’t expect any of them will have the time of day for each other the moment they leave. The need to take Mitch of air. He really reminds me of when my relative had unmedicated bipolar. Not saying he’s not an arsehole too, but the reckless, manic behaviour and delusions of grandeur. I predict a MH breakdown when he gets out. Imagine the fall out for him. Shame on the show’s producers. It really is absolute trash isn’t it and I’m so ashamed of myself for watching !

I don’t particularly rate either but actually find tattle more sensible for some discussions. I don’t use them, just browse on specific subjects sometimes, such as LI (I’ve been ill in bed for 2 days). What’s interesting though is that despite its reputation as an utter cesspit I think tattle offers far more sensible discussion on this, more in line with MN than tattle. Maybe because it’s mostly women. I saw discussion on there that there are also Facebook groups where lots of women (described as ‘Facebook mums’ whatever that means) absolutely love Mitch😱

Nahhh! It's not that people like Sammy, it's just that we only get one vote and there's other people we dislike more.
People aren't so much voting for them as they're not voting for others iyswim.

So interesting seeing the parents. I’m northern and Mollies Dad just annoyed me as a show off but Mitchels mum scared me. People may have thought she was just being Northern but she was quite scary and insensitive. Hope Ella B dumps him and walks. I really like Zach but yes he looks worn out!

I think Abbie said something like “hope to see you soon” to Mitch on the way out as a dig, meaning “hope you’re out next you nasty, obsessed with my life, piece of shit”.

I literally cannot believe I liked and felt sorry for Mitch in the early weeks. He’s awful, unfunny, narcissistic, love bombing, bullying, cringey and embarrassing snake. 🐍

I bet he gives every woman he meets the ick from now on.

I don't think any of the couples will last but are the winners contractually obliged to stay together for a year? Just wondering if Jess and Sammy were to win would she have to put up with his cheating if they were to win. We all saw what happened with Davide and Ekin-Su and all the cheating rumours! However Ekin in my opinion is a lot tougher than Jess.

@GoldenGumballs exactly how I feel about Mitchs mother. However Mitch shouldn't have passed a psych test. Love
Island producers are playing a dangerous game.

He'll be told to redeem himself in tonight's show for fear of repercussions in future.

But that wasn't my point at all.
The point was Sammy discussing how the public voters must have seen that they've been on a journey and voted them to stay as a result.
I think that was his plan all along - the journey for the votes.

Zach is so tired that all he can reply to Molly is ' I'm happy'. Molly looks so disheartened after all their chats.

Agree. He hasn't said he wants to be exclusive, it was implied so she ran with it, he hasn't mentioned her becoming his 'girlfriend' and any affection feels like a massive effort for him. Yet Scott was the one criticised for wanting to be a slow burner!

I meant that in response to Molly looking so disheartened after their chats!

I actually feel sorry for Molly, she got so much hate for seeing what a walking red flag Mitch was. Her mum is a bit part working actor not an itv producer. She’s not had a great time, Zac is like a giant cardboard cutout devoid of emotion. Apparently he used to be overweight as a teenager, so maybe he’s just not that confident with women. There is zero sexual chemistry there.

Yeah Zak seems bored tbh

Catherine and Elom have announced they have decided to just be friends

I think Zach mildly fancies Molly but that's it. He looks so bored and like he can't wait to get out. I can't see any of these couples lasting 1 month never mind 1 year.

Yeah I think in the outside he'd have probably moved on by now.

Her mum is a bit part working actor not an itv producer

Yes this was bizarre and so many people hated her for it assuming she was a chosen favourite and whatever else! She visited the villa last year with other influencers and not because of her mum, but that was twisted. I'm not a fan particularly but agree the hate was savage and I don't think she's had a good time in there either.

Pretty sure Mitch said about Ella B being fake because a) couldn't possibly be his fault they were in the bottom 3, b) now Abi is gone he doesn't feel the need to stick with Ella to torture her and get 'revenge' for her seeing how things went with Scott, and c) he knows they're likely to be voted out so he's trying to avoid the humiliation. Sad man.

They just all seem to dislike eachother this year.

Just watched last nights episode. Oh my I feel sorry for Ella b. Is Mitch okay? What's wrong with him?

Just had to comment. I went to school with Mitch and I can say for sure he has not changed in the 10/11 years since we left secondary school. Ive not seen him since we left but he really hasn’t changed or grown up at all since school. Very much the arrogant attention seeker back then too and always the class clown but tried too hard , can also say he was very very spoilt

OOOH - plot twist! The Daily Fail is saying Catherine and Elom have already split. Wonder if she and Scott will find their way back...

Him being spoiled doesn't surprise me in the least. He absolutely has the air of a child who was never told 'no'. And he's such a try-hard, it's pathetic.

Mitch is an absolutely appalling specimen of a ‘man’. He absolutely gaslit Abi, and has a reappeared pattern of sh*t stirring, and saying terrible things, then conveniently ‘forgetting’ when challenged by anyone on his behaviour. When he can’t deny his behaviour he then gives the weakest possible apology and then tries to justify his behaviour by saying ‘But I was only looking out for X’. Looking out for himself more like.
He behaves appallingly, and then takes no responsibility for his words or actions.
But Ella B is loving all the drama and absolutely adores being at the centre of it. They’re both using each other IMHO. She’s just a bit smarter about how she’s gone about it than Mitch. And she’s just irritating rather than abhorrent.
