LOVE ISLAND 3: Joey's Invincible, Konnor's Invisible, Nicole is Incensed and Jess, of course, is The Prize. NO SPOILERS!

LOVE ISLAND 2, It's as awful as always! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/5101982-love-island-2-its-as-awful-as-always

Nicole is one of those women who has her poor man on eggshells. When he does as he's told its all happiness and rainbows but as soon as he puts a single foot wrong he is destroyed. It's obviously not healthy and Ciaron needs to run while he can. You could see she was on a knife edge when she was quizzing him on that blonde girl Ellie, was it an ex, did you get to the telephone stage?! And hes like No it was just messaging and shes like OK, you're in my good books again.

Same. I wish they could win as friends !

Blades voice reminds me of when the pitch of someone’s voice is changed in an interview to protect their identity. No idea what Grace sees in him - not sure she actually likes him.

I felt for Ayo, Mimi and Jess last night. Ayos decision was right and I think he was genuinely distraught at hurting Mimi, but she dulled him down and he def has more of a spark with Jess.

Nicoles plastered on drag make up is another sign of how insecure she is about herself.

If I chose to recouple and had been on good terms with the other person prior to Casa, I'd be so relieved that the other person had recoupled too. Oh no, not Jess! She absolutely would have relished in strolling in with another man whilst Trey sat there alone. Such a sadist. This happened in another series too, again I've forgotten who 🙈

Push man aside? I'd be pushing man off the sodding terrace!

I had a feeling Matilda had a bitchy side. No need for the way she carried herself there. She has absolutely nothing to be smug about.

Biggest shocker for me was Grace choosing the wrestling figure.

Push man aside? I'd be pushing man off the sodding terrace!

🤣

I don't think Grace was really in to either of the guys at Casa but bringing the Hulk back was a real fuck you to Joey ! Who I think she will end back with!

Surely she couldn't go back to him after Movie Night? If she does, there really is no hope for her!

Well I turned over at 10 to watch the exit poll drama but I did think that we should’ve seen the behind the scenes situation between Matilda and Jess over Hugo….My prediction is that Hugo will pursue Matilda cos her clearly fancies her. I love Matilda, she gives no fucks at all. Jess is proving to be very unlikeable indeed - why was she getting involved with diamanté?. Grace is not even vaguely over Joey dumping her and I don’t understand why she brought back Blade when she had decided only the previous night she preferred Mosiah? Or do we think it was just the fact Blade is twice the size of Joey? And a bit unhinged? And on another note, do we really think he was christened Blade? So many questions.

Maya Jama looked insane. Stormzy must be grinning from ear to ear to have her back.

I think Grace made the right choice as the other seemed too possessive I think he could be controlling. Joey wasn’t happy was he when Grace came back in .As for Nicole’s nose what’s going on. All that makeup and she has a red stripe down her nose.

Really? I thought the total opposite - Blade seemed full on and controlling, whilst Moziah appeared laid back and not pushy at all.

It was Blade that came across as pushy and forceful, not Moziah who I thought was very chilled.

I thought they were both controlling tbh but Mosiah possibly more likely to kick off than Blade so possibly the producers choice?

I feel I must be watching a different show 😂

Why did Moziah seem more likely to kick off? He was irritated at being cock blocked by Blade but he was always respectful to Grace and gave her space for her to come to him. Whereas Blade was requesting kisses and sun lotion applications at every given opportunity.

Why do you think Moziah was more likely to kick off based on what you have seen? Is it your own unconscious bias? From what I have seen he literally has done nothing at all to make it seem like he would kick off?

Unlike Blade who seems very aggressive & controlling.

Well I don’t think I am ‘unconsciously biased’ it was my recollection of the exchange between Blade and Mosiah after being the former interrupted the latter’s chat with Grace.

And I also think something that we didn’t get to see has changed Grace’s mind. How did she go from ‘I’ve made my mind up after that kiss’ to suddenly walking back in with Blade? It does seem very odd, no?

It was almost as exciting as the election results! Casa and movie night are the best bits of Love Island for me. Didn't disappoint last night.

So impressed with Mimi's dignity. What a woman. Did feel a bit sorry for Ayo and his new partner (can't remember her name). Really awkward, specially with Mimi carrying herself like an actual goddess, but I don't think Ayo and Mimi were suited.

Really disappointed with Matilda's comment. I know she was being goaded into a reaction, but she could have been gracious and she wasn't. Such a shame. Think Sean is an even bigger wally than I initially thought.

Not keen on Blade. Don't think Grace will be that bothered about him either. Suspect he has an ego the size of Mallorca.

Joey definitely has his eyes on the prize. Don't believe a word coming out of his mouth. Think Jessy is fully suspicious too.

Will be interesting to see where Uma goes from here. Personally, I think she should sack Will off, which is I suspect what she would do in real life.

Jess was entirely predictable. At first I thought she might be coming with a bit of dignity. But she soon reverted to eye rolling, face pulling and snarky comments!

Can't believe the other girls like Nicole walk out with her make up like that ffs

I assumed it was a result of the lighting that caused her to look like that? Similar to these…

It is odd, but I think that could possibly be due to an intervention from the producers?
Blade will make better telly as he does come across as aggressive, which will cause frictions. I think movie night will be eye opening, also Will knows what he’s said about him too.

As for Moziah & Blades interaction about that interruption, it came across to me that Moziah was calling Blade out & saying he gave him time with Grace & just expected the same respect back when he was talking to her. Which seemed fair enough. It was confrontational but not aggressive in my opinion.

I really don’t like Matilda, I think she’s just unpleasant and loves to see someone else suffer. Ugh. Nope. Sean has shown his true colours.

Jess is bonkers but Trey also seems to be. I agree that whatever his name is Jess brought back will just pursue Matilda now.

Blade’s tiny head on a humongous body reminds me of the Dad from The Incredibles. Grace definitely chose him to make Joey feel inadequate.

Mimi is just sublime. She actually
glides. She’s beautiful, has a killer figure, she’s elegant and sophisticated and so composed. I want to be her when I grow up and I’m in my 50s.

She can do better than Ayo and I’m glad he recoupled for her sake. He was punching. He’s a player I think and will be jumping into DMs as soon as he leaves the Villa.

Ditto Will - Umar is beautiful. He isn't good looking or even charismatic. His chin hair gives me the Ick. She can do way better. She’s such a good friend too.

Umar and Mimi even when locked in a situation with Ayo behaved with such quiet dignity. They are fantastic role models. Give me them a to show mentoring young women!

Isn’t one of the girls a MUA? If so, for the love of god please give Nicole a make up lesson!

@Picoloangel Sadly the MUA was Samantha. They also lost a hairdresser in Sam. Must be disappointing

Umar and Mimi even when locked in a situation with Ayo behaved with such quiet dignity. They are fantastic role models. Give me them a to show mentoring young women!

100% this!! This is women knowing their worth and bigging each other up at its finest. Their parents should be proud!

@CheeseWisely Joel was on the first two episodes of Below Deck Med season 9.

I watch on Hayu which I pay for as an add on to Amazon Prime Video for a fiver a month. You can also get the app independently.

It's got all the reality shows on it so I unashamedly love it.

The episode had a group of young men in their early 20's who were all influencers/ content creators. They all seemed very nice if a bit dull. There was no wine on board and a lot of the food didn't arrive. Normally guests kick off but they were fairly reasonable.
