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 agree tbh
She strikes as someone who would be more vocal around people she knows
and is comfortable with
She is not suited to Love Island where forming alliances is the name of the game.

@oberst In what way?

Exactly
She is saying all the ‘right’ things, but it is all hot air as far as I am concerned.
Syrup aka Ronnie is running rings around her.

Just his childlike behaviours, trust issues etc

I think Joey said he wanted 8 kids after Samantha said definitely no more than 3 so he can use things like that as an excuse that they’re not compatible

Joey and Sam have their first date tonight.

Also another recoupling and it’s girls choosing. I wonder who will get to pick first, Jess or Harriett

Found the thread :-)

Liking Mimi, Munveer, Uma & Omar so far
Really dislike Harriot & Joey - seeing him kiss is revolting, looks like he's going to eat someone

I loved Harriett saying she keeps getting the same boys, just in different fonts 😅

In the documentary, Joey talks about his child-like public persona and his therapist explains that one of his major challenges is to "grow up" because there's comfort in behaving like his mum's little boy, as in that state, he doesn't have to separate himself from her ☹️.

I think joey has definitely got the ick with Samantha. He will absolutely choose someone in casa amor!

I have watched every series of LI bar the first and every time I forget all about Casa till someone mentions it 😂

I think Jess will be given first choice, and Uma will be given first choice before Mimi to see if she picks Ayo!!

Well boring season so far, this is my first time watching in about 3 years I think and I’m close to giving up. I think Joey is in there to keep things ticking/keep drama unfolding as he’s basically going around telling everyone what to say and do. Don’t think he’s interested in that girl either, and will get to know someone else in Casa Amor.

I wonder if there will even be a Casa Amor this time. I think the producers are under pressure to change the format and doing away with Casa or fundamentally changing it could be on the cards. They have already changed how they coupled up at the beginning.

I'd be gutted if they got rid. It's the only thing that causes drama sometimes if they all get a bit comfy!

They didn't have CA on the all-stars version but in suppose that was different (and shorter?) I think it would be missed. It breaks the series up

If they let Uma pick first and she chooses Ayo I’ll lose the will to live 🙈

I don’t understand, I mean I really don’t understand why the girls in the live triangles are just waiting around for the boys to make and decision while listening to them simultaneously spouting bullshit about how it’s hard making a decision….has nobody any self respect.

I'd love to know who decided to put Joey Essex in??
Someone told me he's being paid 270k

What if Mimii chooses Ayo first and Uma chooses Joey!!! Remember she told him she’d see him later..

All I saw was Munveers entry video yesterday. That put me off him. Doesn't matter whether he had great hair and beard or not.

My thoughts exactly. I would make the decision to walk. They're showing they have no self respect.

I think the problem is that none of them are really into each other at all.

Where Joey & Sam are having their date looks grim! So grim they've blurred the background!

Ronnie is ewwww

Agreed @Aquarius1234
