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.

That conversation between Ronnie and Tiff was weird. Nothing was even said!

Also Grace is stunning

There's definitely chemistry between Joey and the new girl but I reckon she's going to be a bit wary of him. She's really naturally pretty without the fake boobs etc. There was another really pretty, natural girl in a previous series - a surfer. The other new girl seems like a bit of an airhead - not much conversation so far.

I don't know if Tiff is just nervous and conscious of cameras, or she lacks conversation skills.

Grace looks naturally pretty, she's probably had work done as they all have, but seems the most natural looking.

Will seems very confident and sure in himself.

Grace looks like she's been on a diet for ages.

How many Teeth does Tiffany? Have
My god.

She's a model so probably very disciplined anyway

I predict trouble for the Welsh couple. He has definitely got a thing for Grace.

Mark wright from wish.

Why do all the boys have to jump around like horny teenagers in this game? Especially Joey - you’re 33 man!

I don't think he will be 'brave' enough to do anything, especially if Grace won't show much interest.
Although, if his comment that he wanted to kiss Grace gets back to Nicole then that might stir things for them.

Does anyone else think Grace looks a bit like Jennifer Lawrence….a really blonde one

@FuckKnowsMate I said the same though I suspect Jennifer Lawrence would be able to afford better lip fillers! Grace is v pretty though

Samantha is really obsessed with Joey's celebrity status. She really can't see past it.
The new girls were pulling the other guys as well for a chat and yet she made it sound that they were only interested in Joey.

Anyone else think Nicole looks like a young Lulu ?

I can definitely see the Lulu resemblance

Samantha is deranged. She’s giving Joey an excuse to dump her which I suspect he’s being looking for since the day after he arrived!

Not a fan of Will’s chin rug. It’s off putting. Looks like he’s missed a bit shaving

Grace reminds me of Mollie.

Tiffany's voice sounds a bit like Rochelle Humes sister at times.

Joey's kiss with Grace seemed a lot more natural than his school disco efforts with Samantha. I don't like the way he overly reassures Sam but says the opposite to the boys... especially what he said to them after their date.

Ronnie has zero chat at all bar a bit of cringe flirting and just adds to the stereotype of footballers being really dense.

Yeah it was weird how when Sam was pulling back he went out of his way to reassure her, then he completely disregards her feeling in that beer game 😬

When Sam was being self deprecating talking about her “greasy hair” and flip flops, he just laughed. She was probably hoping to hear “you’re just as beautiful too” or words to that effect.

Don’t think Sam like Joeys that much though. She likes his celeb status and being in a secure couple. She said it herself she’s happy for him to move on as long as she does too, and isn’t “left on the shelf”.

I can see Omar having some romance with Grace because the two girls he went for haven’t reciprocated his interest so he will jump at the chance since she seem to like him and i can see he finds her very attractive.

There was an interview with Amy Willerton who had a romance with Joey on I'm a Celebrity.

She said she genuinely believed they were in love but post show he made it clear that it was a showmance and he wanted them to pretend to be together for public appearances, interviews, photographs etc.

She refused because she was so upset. Mind you she did say that now she's much older she would be less niave and run with her 20 mins of extended fame

Because they've done it on every series I've watched I suspect they are told to do it. The same as when a couple returns from a date and they are welcomed back by everyone like they have been away for a year.

I hate the dates, but the new sleepovers might be a good addition.

Fair point - you’re probably right!

Tbf though, men/boys are ridiculously immature when they're together. They're all like kids in a sweet shop in there, they can't believe their luck 🙄

Well I thought the boys were acting very silly last night .Tiff appeared drunk slurring and staring into space.
Grace is beautiful but I had totally forgotten that she was in I am a celeb with Joey. I had definitely watched it though as Matthew Wright was in it that year. As far as I was concerned I had never seen her before.
Yes Natalie is a spit of Lulu .its not her daughter is it ?

Grace wasn't in I'm a Celebrity??!
