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.

I will never understand the jaw filler/pointy chin thing

Though the other fillers can still look fake I sort of get the idea but why on earth do you want to add to your jaw & change its shape - I thought men wanted bigger jaws to look more masculine yet women are paying for filled or pointy chins that look asymmetrical and witchy.

That was a convoluted way of saying I wish these pretty girls would leave themselves alone.

I don’t understand it either. How can these young women not see that it is ageing them? It also just makes them all clones of each other. There’s no individuality or authenticity. The girls that haven’t had tons of work and are naturally beautiful (Mimii and Una) stand out as a result. I understand that it becomes addictive but it’s like they completely lose sight of what is attractive.

In the latest series of MAFS Oz I saw a before and after pic of contestant Sara. She was a stunningly beautiful Latina women and she changed herself and ended up looking quite masculine. I just don’t understand why!

Wow, she really was a natural beauty :/

I'm not loving Ayo's approach.
He's done nothing wrong but shouldn't lay it on so thick if his intent is to play the field.

Zero interest in a reality TV veteran cynic doing the rounds., I'd rather see more of sweet shop guy who is being set up to leave or Munveer.

I think Samantha is just at pains to respond acerbically or abruptly rather than show she is worried or hurt. Get the first blow in and save face. It's an easy way to lose sympathy or high ground. I think she may be similar -ish to Faye a few series ago. Bright girl, but exploded first and asked questions later

Potential Spoiler - don’t read on if you don’t want to know

Apparently there is a surprise recoupling tonight and Ciaran is at the centre of the drama…personally, I wouldn’t have been fighting over him at that age 😂

First Look is up. Harriet is trying to be like Ekin Su or Olivia. She's desperate for drama to get the air time.

So in the recoupling there are more girls right so one will be going home? Could be Mimi but I don't think producers will want to lose her just yet. The love triangle drama hasn't been eeked out enough yet.

Mimi wont go home. No way. Harriet.

Do you think it’s a dead cert that Uma will choose Ayo?

Yes she’ll definitely choose Ayo.

Not trying to be unkind but what’s the deal with Harriet’s eyebrows?! I know that eyebrows are sisters and not twins but hers look like they aren’t even related and are an odd colour. I’m fascinated by them.

I think Uma may chose Joey.
Yes, also fascinated by the eyebrows.

The eyebrows baffle me too, it’s like each individual hair sticks straight up?

Harriet has no interest at all in Candyman. The body language couldn't have been more clear. Though she will probably discover her feelings for him if she's in danger of being dumped!

So true about Harriet and the Candyman. She’s not into him at all - she can’t even look at him!

If you ignore the height, Cieran looks about 12, such a man child face

Ciaran reminds me of Zayne Malik for some reason.

Thats some crying there Harriet, who crys like that?? 😂

No actual tears as far as I can see. It seemed like first term stage school crying tbh but maybe I just didn’t see the tears

Harriett is a paid actor SURELY?!??

Oh well Harriet can go for the invisible sweet seller no-one remembers is there now

Spoilt brat 100 pc. How could he talk to meee like that lol

Honestly what is Sean seeing in Harriet!! She is so over dramatic!

Nothing. He's just seen an opportunity.

How old is Harriet?

And now Toupee Ron has gone for Harriet. What kind of pheromones is she giving off?!

23 supposedly
