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.

It’s too early to be really serious about anyone but I do think it’s sus that Ayo was hitting on Mimi SO hard and now he’s talking about giving Uma “the same energy”. He strikes me as the kind of guy that constantly falls “in love”

Ayo “I just wanted to reassure you” and then proceeding to tell Mimi that he’s going to give “the same energy” to the new girl. 🤔

Well done to Mimi for pointing out that she might retune the favour when a bombshell comes in!

Anyone else not understanding the Welsh girl?

Horrible people I think 🤔

I understand her fine, but then i live in Wales

Is she 30 s?

I love Nicole and she’s right, Samantha her face is upsetting me now. There needs to be some kind of intervention for young people and fillers! I bet she was even more beautiful before

Is there no after show type thing anymore?

Yes! and Sade when she was younger.

Samantha is very insecure. Has she even spoken to Una yet? She was saying to Joey that she wasn’t bothered but she very much was. She’s not honest about it because she knows it makes her look jealous.

Harriet is playing a dangerous game and I think the girls are already seeing her as someone not to be trusted.

Una is very self assured isn’t she? Why did she keep repeatedly calling Joey Jo Jo?

Jeez, Harriet isn't covering herself in glory.

Agree with pp re Ayo. He was so completely into Mimii yesterday. The impression he was giving was that literally nobody could top her. Then 12hrs later - boom 😅

Haha me and my daughter were side eyeing at the Joe Joe thing was a bit weird.
Mimi is the prettiest other than that I litrally can't tell the difference they all look very same. Harriet isn't a nice person at all.

I am not sure if either Mimi or Uma would go for Ayo on the outside tbh.
Both are beautiful young ladies and probably have a great deal of male attention outside the villa.
Uma seems to like Joey or Ronnie so Ayo may find that he doesn’t have any options if he continues to pursue Uma .

Harriet is not a girls girl but she is good tv .

Yes Harriet is TV gold.

I don’t have difficulty understanding Nicole’s accent but find that she talks incredibly quickly.

Ayo is punching with both Mimi and Uma.

I like Munveer and the Candyman but they don’t get much airtime.

A heavy accent spoken rapidly is hard for me as slightly deaf, to understand.

I don't need your rude comment, but thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes it's on at the weekend

Is It me or is some of the swimwear even more ridiculous this year! Some are little more than a landing strip. I just look at them and think “Canesten” 🤣

I mentioned earlier how Candyman does not (yet) seem to be the character that he tried to put across in his intro. That has obviously worked against him, as he's just being "nice" and is being drowned out by the 3 women storyline. He got more last night, but it's cos he happened to be the person being used as an agony aunt for a few minutes 😆

Last year I said that every single islander should have a minute or two of focus in every episode (more difficult when theres a lot of them), esp since the public are so often put in charge of their fate. If they're boring, the public will see that, but them being chucked out because we've got no opinion of them is really unfair.

I can't understand how they can possibly be hygienic 🤢 I mean, esp given that everyone is so sweaty 🤮

@Twonewcats I know it’s absolutely grim and they are sitting down with their sweaty bums and more besides on seats and loungers. There is so much publicity about thongs being really unhygienic too.

I know others have said this but the teeth, the Botox, the awful extensions, the lip fillers. It’s dreadful that young women (and men) are doing these things to themselves. Definitely makes them look much older too.

Just caught up on last night.

Agreed Samantha is very immature and actually quite spiteful. When she went to Joey after he took his blindfold off having been kissed, she said something like "she's taller than you" which I thought was actually really nasty, trying to put Joey down to make him feel like he should stay with her. I detest that attitude.

I'm kind of surprised and confused as to why Harriett didn't tell Nicole about the kiss in bed. At the time I thought it was surprisingly respectful of her not to rub it in Nicole's face, but maybe she was just smug in her silence. Anyway don't like her but she's good TV.

I like Mimi for being low key when all the other girls are losing their shit.

The northern girl (keep forgetting her name) is very level headed - she always says the right thing.

Agreed.
Not to mention (on LI) sitting in the scorching sun for hours and days on end. I wish ITV would make more of a big deal of this. They banned smoking on screen and severely limited alcohol intake, yet don't seem to mind that they're promoting sun worshipping.

@steelseries gosh did she say that? That’s very mean spirited and nasty. As I say she made a snarky comment the other night when she found out Ronnie and Jess had kissed. She’s going to be one of those girls who brushes off bitchiness as just saying it how it is.

I don't like Samantha at all. Nasty. And she looks nothing like Abbey Clancy. I'm disappointed that the women aren't playing it a bit more cool with the men, they seem very keen.

Harriett's filler is absolutely atrocious. She looks like handsome Squidward. Such a shame.
