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.

@steelseries definitely has that hair transplant kind of look!

The one they put first reminds me of Sammy who Jess chased relentlessly.

Well it looks like a car mat so a rug of some description.

The girl in Blue reminds me of Demi

Mimii is gorgeous

Harriet is really annoying.

Believe it or not I'm watching this for the first time. I feel old though and I'm only mid thirties! Only turned over as nothing else was on, now I know I'll be hooked :/

I'm shocked so few people are here. Back in the day we'd be on our 10th page by now! So far disappointed that all the girls look the same....

I don’t think any of those couples were happy except maybe Ronnie and ??

I think the last series pushed a lot of previous watchers over the edge, with the so obviously scripted and boredom element..

Tell you what though, i wouldnt let that hairdresser lad cut my hair, when his is own style is so shit!

There was a guy with a mullet on Love is Blind too, no idea whyyyy they are coming back

Hmmm not keen on any of them and it’s so sad all the girls have that shit done to their faces, apart from Mimi I think

I managed about 15 minutes before turning it off. This was slightly more than last year.

Hi you lot... tentatively thinking it may be better/different this season with the Hideaway situation..there will be a queue outside it 😉

Mimi is gorgeous and yes the most natural. Omg that walk that Harriet did into the Villa. I think Ayo seems like a nice guy but only time will tell.

Yes they are all sooo samey - girls massively so.

No way Joey Essex, wheres he been?

Dubai I think

Wasn't expecting that! I actually think this could be a good series..or maybe not as bad as usual!

It's always the Brighton Girls that have the annoying voice...

He is DD's hairdresser. He did my ways last time I went as my hairdresser was a bit delayed finishing the previous customer's hair.

I'm done;t remember his hair being quite like that tbh though.

Dd tells me he always seems really nice - bit of a party lad iirr. They have lots of chats and gossip during the hair cuts about what they've been up to.

Was a surprise to see him appear in the adverts for LI!

Is my TV guide right? Love Island on ITV1 & 2 at the same time??

I was hoping they would reduce the contestants with the lip fillers but it feels they have upped them this year.

Mimii is beautiful.

awww I love Joey Essex and I hope this show doesn't do a number on him
cos he's a sweetheart

Yes it's on both!

Well it's one way of doubling the viewing figures I guess...oh well I'll see you all tomorrow then 😂
