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.

Grace is kinda smug.

Okay she's a bit of a nutter then.

I think Joey knew Grace was going in and that’s why things didn’t progress with Sam and him. I have to say being a flat chested person I love that Grace is so natural without fake boobs !
Tiffany is really naturally pretty without make up but not much personality .

Well some former islanders did get married or are still together after a couple of years, might not happen with this bunch but I reckon some of them would at least like to find a partner even if it only lasts 6 months or so after the Villa.

Ronnie OTOH just seems all over the place, no focus at all. It might change as time progresses but I feel it’s just going to be his attitude while he’s in there. But at least he’s open about it so any woman with sense will steer clear unless she’s only looking to warm his bed for a week or two 😆

Ah I’m glad Sam and now Joey have basically recognised and admitted it was forced! And Sam going into self protective mode was clearly her picking up on the chemistry with Grace which has been proven now.

Poor Sean - no one seems to be interested!

I like Uma and the new guy! There was nothing romantic between her and Omar unfortunately.

Joey and Grace beyond fake. Showmance for cameras.

Uma seems the most genuine in there.

Do none of them realise yet that whatever they say will spread around 🙄?

Ronnie - 'got a bit about me, know what i mean'.. 😂really???

I actually think Joey and Grace are cute- he’s obviously really into her. She’s not some random bombshell he’s chucked his couple in for, it’s someone he has history with and knows and clearly fancies.

Watching Ronnie kiss actually makes me retch. Why does he go in tongue first??

This seems a bit of a newer thing. Now nothing can be said behind theirs backs without it being brought up.
Not sure that's normal. Too forced

I always seem to forget about Aftersun. Dunno why...

I find Ronnie beyond repulsive. Most of the kisses on LI look terrible. Maybe they don’t snog much these days. I used to kiss lots of boys on a night out so had a lot of practice 🤣

Joey putting sun cream on grace gave me the creeps probably because it's got to be a showmance

Yes!! 🤣🤣 she's also a bit dead behind the eyes

Ha ha yes I can't watch the kisses properly it's weird. They are cringe.
Yet in a romance /drama film it's good.

I think the reason I think Joey’s genuine is because it some of the most natural snogging I’ve ever seen in Love Island- he just pulls her in and kisses her like normal people do, it’s not some weird laying on the daybed while making a shit joke about snogging before lunging in like a mama bird regurgitating food to its babies.

Ronnie has zero chat and neither does Tiff. Listening to them talk to each other was painful!

Also Cheshire Cat off Alice in Wonderland.

But seemed very noisy and 🐬 like to me.

I always mute for the kisses- learned from years of watching LI! Tbh if I had a mic on while having a snog it would probably sound horrendous too.

Regardless I don't wanna watch people on love island that have already kissed many times before.
I prefer strangers meeting.

I liked Pasty from the little I saw of her. Tuned in after a week.

I think Grace looks very similar to Stephanie Pratt who Joey coupled up with on Celebs go Dating.

I'm a bit behind.

Jess is absolutely awful. She's got a real nasty streak. She's pissed off because Sean has worked out she has only chosen him to get back at Ronnie. He needs a decent girl being sent in. He's a nice lad.

I think it looks a lot more natural with Joey and Grace, his kisses look a lot better too, still a bit too plungey but nowhere near as bad as before 😂
I find it uncomfortable to watch Tiffany speak, she seems to look away/look all over the place..something a bit strange 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not a fan of (forgotten her name) one with candy guy now and although I found Harriet annoying at first, I like her now as I think she seems quite kind
