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.

Yes , Joey does come across as very childlike
I can see Joey with an older woman. Someone who is going to almost mother him

Exactly! She’s mistaking her fantasies with the reality that’s staring her in the face :/

She definitely is gorgeous and seems classy, she can do a lot better than being in a triangle vying for a man like Ayo.

It's like Mimi is giving Ayo a good go, and keeping the girls at arm's length when she might be happier the other way round. So, accepting Uma's overtures when she's tried to smooth things over, giving Omar a chance and leaving Ayo in the long grass to circle back of his own accord rather than pulling him back after the challenge. Suppose it's quite decisive but the challenge was his chance to show her some enthusiasm and he didn't. I'd have backed off.

Agree if she's a psych nurse especially just qualified she probably wants to keep it as uncontroversial as possible and doesn't want to be seen gallivanting in and out of the hideaway with with every passing fella.

The most recent people who went into the hideaway (cant remember who it was) reacted as if they'd never been in there before.
Isn't that weird? If there's open access to it, why wouldn't you go an have a nosey on day 1?!

Is this the first year the islanders have done these three-way confrontational chats?! They're so awks, I love it.

Uma sooo desperate to be the front runner. Cringe!

Ugh I hate this. The pick me conversations. It allows Ayo to think he's the prize to be won.

Has it been discussed on here that Uma is really 🔥

Ayo is such a player. Liked him at first but not now.

I can see Uma looking elsewhere at the first chance

Not so much Mimi

I don't Ayo is worthy of either

She really is

that whole 3 way conversation was catnip to Ayo. I wish Mimi would move on and know her worth. Uma is stunning but there is something unlikeable about her - maybe that she has definitely over played things to Mimi.

I really like Jess shes sound

I really like Jess too

Ayo is so dull 😑 hardly swoon level looks.

I agree re Ayo - Uma is annoying me. She can give it but she can’t take it. She chose Ayo from under Mimi’s nose but now it’s happened her she doesn’t like it 🤷‍♀️

Personally I don’t think Ayo has done anything that wrong. It’s only been a week and clearly liked Uma more. I think Mimi seems nice but I think she’s going to regret this, she should of just stayed with Omar

I don’t think he has either - I think Uma slightly exaggerated the position to Mimi. I agree also though that he prefers Uma though I think the way she’s behaving isn’t a good look when she did the same so recently. In her head I think she feels she behaves better to Mimi than she actually did.

Yeah she was kinda a bitch to Mimii actually; stole Mimiis man and then massively overinflated what was between Ayo and her

I do think Ayo and Mimi are very boring tho, I’m not sure why she’s there tbh. Doesn’t seem to fit her personality

Joey didn't know what to do with his hands. Says it all

Can't believe we're still on thread 1, used to fly through them!

I was thinking that too. There’s a lot happening but I’m struggling to stay engaged this year

That challenge dragged !!

I agree @steelseries & @Picoloangel - she seems to have totally forgotten that she stole Ayo from Mimii in the first place!

I think Mimii is too good for Ayo but equally loved them kissing in bed so that Uma knows that Ayo has been stringing Mimii along & it's not all Mimii's imagination!
