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.

I am finding this series sooo boring

I think the Welsh couple are the most likeable and genuine . They could win but she does look a lot older than him . Is she or is it the heavy makeup.
i think Uma is not used to competing with people and seems a bit self centred actually.
Harriet reminds me of Caroline Flack. It’s her voice.

Nicole is 24, 3 years older than him

I like Joey. Doesn’t seem to have a side to him. I watched his documentary and you do feel for him and his story. Open and straightforward but not sure why he likes Sam.
Joey went out with Sam Faires for a while didn’t he.

Some of the girls in there are 10 years younger than him. I wonder if that’s something to do with it?

He did date Sam Faires, they were engaged at some point for a while

Munveer is the prettiest and I hate that none of the girls are going for him. I'd be all over that.

Hold yourselves back ladies ...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I genuinely wonder if he’s just too classy for LI. He’s stunning.

I don’t know quite how to explain it but I feel the women that go on Love Island are mostly all sheep IMO, their taste is very limited to a few specific looks that the media pushes as being most attractive in men.

That’s why they’d all skip over Munveer for a Ronnie/Joey or sometimes maybe an Ayo.

It’s so predictable. Also I suspect Munveer is more an outsider in the type of social scene these girls want to move in when they come out the villa, whereas someone like Joey for example is already immersed in it so they see that social currency.

I think you’re absolutely right. The LI look is v much turkey teeth, overly muscular, certain hairstyles etc Munveer is just naturally stunning. He’s also quite stylish - some of the outfits the boys though at least we have moved on from the matching shirts and shorts from a couple of years ago which made them all look like toddlers!

Yeah so far he really stands out in there in a good way. It’s very interesting his experience in there so far, considering the girls rated him the highest in terms of boyfriend material and yet are fighting over these other guys who have a history of cheating and are stringing them along etc.

I hope a bombshell comes in who likes him or he finds someone in Casa and hopefully if he does get more interest he doesn’t start behaving like the others.

Ha ha

I like Romnie 🤷🏻‍♀️he’s got a personality and is quite lively and fun

Apparently there will be two people leaving tonight?

First look is up and does not reflect well on Ronnie - he is bare faced lying to Jess about what he’s said to Harriet.

I don't know what they see in Ronnie, he honestly makes my skin crawl

I bet it is. It's one thing to be seen acting the bell end with girls/women your own age. With a 10 year age gap also his experience, it would start to look quite seedy and exploitative to go about 'doing bits' (do they say that anymore?!) with and bullshitting all and sundry

Patsy would have been an age appropriate match but there didn't seem to be much interest

Just come on here to rant as midway watching last nights episode, wtf is Ayo doing? Make a fucking decision you spineless waste of space, I mean it can’t be that difficult. Also Joey kisses like an octopus on crack. Looks awful and quite painful as far as I can see…

I'm confused... watching on Sky - just finished episode three. I didn't see a new girl Uma in that episode but is there already at the start of episode 4

She came on when all the boys were blindfolded and snogged them all.

Is this just kiss island now.

Each kiss is staged within an inch of it's life.

OMG why is Jess falling for Ron’s shit?! He was so obviously lying just then!

I think Jess and Uma should tell Ron / Ayo to go fuck themselves.. why are they waiting around for decisions? bugger that!
