Love Island 2024 Thread 1: Are we really going to put ourselves through this again?

[sumnus]

Contestants were announced today for the new series starting on Monday 3rd.

I don't know if I can do it this year folks.

Who are these semi professional footballers?

An actual semi pro footballer gets paid to play, but will still have another job as well usually. So more than a hobby, but not earning them mega bucks.

I think the girls are crying out of humiliation rather than heartache. They seem to be doing it much more readily than in previous years though.

Yes Ron was pretty bad. Altho Jess going on about it to everyone im front of him would get wearing.

Ayo is just another pretty boy who has never had to make an effort so has no real substance. Joey is an awful kisser just urgh and it’s a little bit icky how much older he is ( although is the most immature there)
Harriet could be so pretty but the contouring result is weirdly like paint by numbers. I still get mixed up with Patsy & Jess. Mimi is lovely.

Every so often, Harriett reminds me of Morgana Robinson. It's the voice combined with a specific face she does - similar to when Morgana is being v sarcastic

Opening with a BANGER of a tune here, so glad they didn’t use an awful cover

Doesn't seem like there is any chemistry with anyone?

Ron is revolting

The kissing!!! 🫣🫣 it's like a year at at a school disco 🪩

Toupee Ron and Harriet kissing 🤢

Yeh totally unnatural.

Joey seems like a house guest
Like Sharon in Celeb Big Brother. Weird and doesn't work long term.

Harriet keeps saying generally instead of genuinely, it's making her even more annoying.

Ronnie is awful, I don't get what they see in him at all. He seems a bit thick.

I really dislike Harriet. There’s something really disingenuous about her.

the clothes get cheaper each series. lol

Loving Jess - classy & shutting down Harriet trying to make the drama about herself!

Hope some good bombshells go in for Mimii, Jess & Patsy. Harriet can have slimy Ron & Candy man!

It's funny they still do the can I pull you for a chat crap.

Jonny comes across as really dim and sly looking to me. He's got the Turkey teeth on top but horrible teeth on the bottom.

I really like Jess too. I want bombshells for Munveer and Candy Man too. They both seem genuine.

Seems like Samantha’s finally clocked that Joeys not into her. I’m not sure he likes anyone as much as he likes himself?

I agree @Picoloangel

True!

To be fair it’s quite possible that Joey is simply blinded by his teeth and unable to find his way to Samantha’s mouth.

Local gossip has it that one of DD’s mates FWB’s is going to pop up in the next day or so 👀

His brother is a footballer so presumably why he got the nod. If it’s true.

Again I agree @Picoloangel
