She looked very uncomfortable during Umar’s outburst- because she’s caused exactly the same sort of upset to Mimi.

She didn't cause it though, Ayo did... just as Wil caused upset for Uma.

Thankfully Mimii can see this and doesn't hold anything against Jess.

Joey was rattled by Blade's comment quite rightly, Joey has dyslexia

I’m on the fence about new Jess - I don’t think she’s a particularly mean girl or anything but she says all this stuff to Mimi and then sits kissing Ayo in front of her when Mimi is very obviously upset. I think she knows Mimi is very popular and wants to be seen as “compassionate” but I don’t think that she has been compassionate at all. Asking the recently heartbroken girl if there is anything she’d like to ask you is the height of insensitivity.

She looked very uncomfortable during Umar’s outburst- because she’s caused exactly the same sort of upset to Mimi.

I can’t stand Matilda - she gets angry so quickly. Sean’s been an asshole and so has Jess which must be horrible but she still goes to 100mph v v quickly.

I hated all the gaslighting of the girls tonight. There are some really unpleasant boys this year.

Joey is seriously rattled by Blade.

I agree
If new Jess was bothered about Mimi’s feelings she would have been a bit more discreet
I am not even convinced that she actually likes Ayo.
The truth is that Mimi is far too good for Ayo. He wouldn’t be able to pull her outside the villa.
Will is the biggest gaslighter. Cannot bear him.
Joey is intimidated by Blade which is the reason Grace brought him in

Mimii & Uma are both absolutely stunning!

They are both stunning indeed and I love their friendship.

The only reason why Uma was more Ayo’s type than Mimi quite frankly is because she is, and looks, more mixed as opposed to unambiguously black and has slightly lighter skin than Mimi.

You can see that by the way he said the same thing about Jessy being his exact type. There’s a pattern.

The man is very dim but that’s up to him, I just wish Mimi had taken more notice of it and went where she was appreciated. Now Uma has heard what Will said I hope she does the same.

CellophaneFlower · 07/07/2024 23:07

I actually have no idea why Mimii is in there. She's beautiful, bright, compassionate, loyal, sane and doesn't strike me as someone who's fame hungry. She has zero attributes of practically all Love Island contestants.

FuckKnowsMate · 07/07/2024 22:09

Will looks like Jim Fenner from Bad Girls. It’s the hair.

😂

bumblenbean · 07/07/2024 23:38

I literally cannot STAND Jess. Her facial expressions, the judgement of everyone else but totally inability to see her own faults, the stirring, the hugely over inflated opinion of herself… she has a face like a cat’s arsehole most of the time. She’s not an unattractive girl but her mannerisms and bitchiness make her look so hard.

Poor Trey didn’t have much luck in there did he? He made a schoolboy error picking Jess.

I liked the boys telling Blade he spent the whole time slagging them off and trying to sow seeds of doubt in the girls. That’s exactly what he did in Casa and I’m glad it’s been highlighted

Will has shown himself to be an arrogant twat. He could’ve redeemed himself but no, he went with trying to impress ‘the lads’ when Uma got upset. If anyone’s punching it’s Will.

CellophaneFlower · 08/07/2024 06:26

I think Wil's reaction was a defence mechanism. He was almost certain he couldn't redeem himself, so he acted like he couldn't give a shit to save himself the rejection. I suspect he's actually quite gutted and pissed off with himself underneath it all.

Of course Uma shouldn't forgive him even if he comes crawling though. Partners that act like that when cornered, even in the heat of the moment, clearly have a nasty streak.

I thought Matilda actually did like Sean, but the way she spat out he was "a little rat" as she walked off prior to the clips, says to me she doesn't at all. Nobody has that much disgust for someone so quickly. She definitely saw him as a route to the final, which also makes sense of her odd second convo with diamante. She was smiling as she simply didn't care.

I do really like Ciaran and think he has a great head on his shoulders, but ironically, the only immature thing about him is his hang up about his age! Why does he desperately want to be treated like he's not 21? Doesn't he realise he'll get older? He must be hanging out with a lot of older people in RL to be feeling he's immature. Even the fact he slept with a woman 30 years older... why?! Enjoy being 21 fgs, have some fun (and please don't saddle yourself with Nicole and her aircraft hold full of baggage).

At this point only Konnor and Emma deserve to win, which is ridiculous as we don't even see them! There are quite a few who individually deserve it, but they're all coupled up with a total arsehole.

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/07/2024 06:52

I think Mimi and Uma are too mature and grounded for the boys, which is why they’re being rejected / turned off from them. I wonder if Uma is definitely done with Will after that performance. He was likely embarrassed but his behaviour was terrible.

As for Joey being rattled by Blade, I agree. He’s quite an imposing man, says what he thinks and had no issue with being snakey to try to bag a girl. I think Grace chose him because she knew he’d unnerve Joey, which is / was more important than going for the guy she felt the best connection with in Casa.

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/07/2024 06:53

I forgot to say, bless Cieran he seems like such a sweetheart. Nicole really can’t see what is right before her eyes.

LittleGreenDuck · 08/07/2024 07:18

I wonder whether Mimii and Konnor could work. They both seem quite sweet and "normal". Though I'm not sure if either of them would have the gumption to start the conversation.

HelpMebeok · 08/07/2024 07:26

I wish they had shown more of Jess bitchy comments. She's awful.

Nicole is gaslighting Kieran and needs to come out. Constantly telling him he's wrong and accusing him of things. It's unfair.

Boys are mainly awful.

There's not a couple I like. I'd vote Mimi and Uma if I could. Kieran seems nice too.

What did Blade actually say to/about Joey? I missed it

Blade said that Joey wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box, and Joey wasn’t happy about it, he told blade that he could easily out smart him

Picoloangel · 08/07/2024 07:51

Ah I caught that bit but missed the very beginning when Joey first reacted.

In theory could Uma and Mimi choose each other to recouple?

Yeah they can. This happened in an early season. Either 2/3. Can't remember which

Oh thats interesting. So they could win together?

BlackStrayCat · 08/07/2024 08:35

That would so fit the current climate, especially in the face of all those mysoginistic arseholes (Ceiran absolutely excepted)

BlackStrayCat · 08/07/2024 08:35

There was a romantic connection there though. I'm not sure if it would be allowed as a friendship couple

Tcateh · 08/07/2024 08:40

My opinion of Ciaron has upped after last night.
I thought he handed Nicole well in front of everyone and she was really giving him shit.

How old is she she acted very young.
She's really goading him now and it's becoming nasty.

BlackStrayCat · 08/07/2024 09:23

-at first I sort of forgave Nicole, now I see what an abusive partner she would become.

She is not nice.
Ciaron is lovely.

ikeo · 08/07/2024 09:33

There are simply no couples in there to cheer for this year. How many weeks are left, only two?! It’s all so flat. I read the posts here after the show and frequently I can’t remember who some of the names are (e.g. I just had to google Emma). There’re no couples to really get behind and cheer on!

Joey said ‘I’m actually a lot quicker than you bro, in a race, in mind, anything’ and Blade said he’d have to contest that

She does and she seems to react so quickly. She’s 24
