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.

No chemistry between Joey and Sam whatsoever, he's really not into her!

So far this year, no one is 'into' anyone imho. They're all forcing the issue, trying too hard - just to stay relevant.

Fuck you Ron

Jess spouting her "I'm the prize spiel" again.

Glad she went for Sean.

Yes! 🤣

I am just watching thinking I really dislike false eyelashes .Do any of them not wear them ?,

Feels like every episode is a re coupling or vote off. 🥱

Blimey they are not looking happy tonight

I also dislike the lip liner.

Is it me or are all the girls trying to lock these boys down too quickly. Just seems desperate.

Joey seems excited about the females entering the house.

Mimi does not want Ayo anymore.

Wil incoming 👀

Glad Jess chose Sean. Old Ronald didn’t look massively happy he was left with Harriet.

Jess complained that Toupee Ron gave a poor recoupling speech but just did exactly the same to Sean. It was cringeworthy. Her “I’m the prize” speech feels like something she’s said many times before. I did like her but now I think she’s very controlling and demanding.

I also think Mimi is over Ayo but he just looks fuming all the time maybe he has resting git face?!

Still not keen on Uma - her whole speech to Ayo was just odd, I think she’s backing off because she’s afraid of being humiliated. It was gracious of her to pick Omar but she looked less than thrilled.

Sam and Joey - seen more chemistry in an unopened chemistry set. He’s biding his time. He’s borderline afraid of Sam who will kick off big time if he goes for anyone else. There’s no one currently worth the fall out for Joey but if someone else comes in he likes I reckon he’ll be prepared to face the wrath of Sam.

Only genuine couple I can see at the moment is Nicole and Ciaran.

Harriet is just such a hot mess with her deranged eyebrows and ratty extensions but she’s TV gold and - gulp - she might be growing on me!

Once again I completely agree @Picoloangel

Yeah I really like Nicole and Ciaran.

I don’t mind Uma but I feel she doesn’t like Ayo as much as Mimi. To her it was more about ego and when she realised he wasn’t leaning more towards her as she’d
thought her attitude changed completely. So yeah I agree she removed herself from the triangle because she was so sure she’d come out the “winner”.

Mimi’s speech about Ayo was so flat. She never seems to be genuinely happy.

I’m glad that Jess didn’t pick Ron. Her speech made it sound like she was only picking Sean to make a statement but he didn’t seem to care.

From the clip for tomorrow night it looks like Joey is getting excited over one of the new girls so there could be fireworks on the way!

Omg one of the new girls picture. The teeth.

Just watched that end back with subtitles as I thought I heard it.

Joey says to Sean ‘I used to see that girl bro’. So one of his ex flings

Both the new girls are 25.

They all looked a picture of misery tonight, especially Mimi and Ayo they couldn’t even seem to make eye contact. The weather seems bad as well so I wonder if that’s dampening the experience, the days must drag.

This must have been one of the most miserable recouplings ever. Hardly anyone seemed happy.

I think Mimii is done with Ayo. Looks like the whole Uma thing just turned her off completely. At the beginning she looked excited to get to know him.
I am wondering as well if she is annoyed that Uma removed herself from the triangle before Ayo made a choice, so now she might be thinking "you didn't pick me, you were stuck with me".

Twice Jess has been a hypocrite now. I liked that she and Uma picked Sean and Omar, and were measured in their reasoning rather than pretending to gush about them but Jess didn't need to go on so much about Ron. Uma made reference to the elephant in the room but then turned to something kind and non -generic about Omar.

Harriet and Mimi didn't look chuffed to have to pick a man that hadn't actively chosen them over another woman after ample chance to know both. It might not matter if they end up married 20 years but it'll make for a shitty start to the coupling. I half expected Harriet to pick Sean to cause chaos!

Didn't Joey say he had dated one of the new girls?

Jess is annoying. If I hear 'I'm the prize' once more I'm going to dash the remote at the tv. Also feel like she's bullying Harriet now, she's giving mean girl.

Jess seems to pull faces a lot
