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

What has happened to "Remember we are Uma and Mimi"??????? OMG, what on earth has happened to these two women.

How the fuck can you think you are falling in love with a weasel like Wil? How can you fall in love with someone who was so mean and disrespectful and cold just one day previously? I think Uma must have had some kind of breakdown. I really do. A bit like when Amy went all peculiar when Curtis and Maura coupled up.

And how on earth did Mimi get all caught up with Josh, so that she allowed him to get all up in her business so quickly? No, no, no!!!!!!

My mind is literally blown.

Sadly Mimi and Uma’s trajectory on this show is an accurate representation of what goes on for so many young women trying to find a partner.

Then we wonder why ostensibly
confident ambitious, classy and pretty women end up married and having kids with these sun-standard men.

As much as I’m not a fan of Grace, I like that she hasn’t let these men drag her down.

I think there are a lot of women out there who proclaim to "know their worth" and say all the right things. Then sadly in reality, they are actually quite vulnerable and weak.

Mimii also appeared such a strong person. The way she's handled everything that's been thrown at her so far has really been admirable. She looked out of her depth in that jacuzzi though. She likes Josh but I'm worried she feels she has to act out of character to keep him as is typical of many young girls. So sad.

I never thought I'd be saying this but me too 🤣

I simply can't believe that Uma has forgotten the way Wil spoke to her at the film festival TWO DAYS ago, never mind what they were speaking about (his behaviour in Casa). He had the same 'lads holiday, doesn't count' attitude as Trey, so will be off like a dog with two dicks the second they're home and he's getting some attention.

In fairness to Reuben he did look absolutely mortified by it all, but it was fairly predictable that Wil would get dumped if he picked Uma.

I think this is bang on- they're all young, it's very intense in there and eg 2 weeks feels like forever, I can see how she ended up breaking like that. She's clearly got a lot of feelings and is actually in there to find someone, unlike most who are just in there for fame.

Ironic as I think she'll be the one to do the best out of this year- I saw Edward Enninful commented on her Instagram in support, which is huge!

Emma and blade will go.....we need Hugo in just for the fallout with Jess. Can't belive uma went it's only a week since he was playing around, and then disrespected her at movie night thought she had more about her.

Disappointing that Uma didn’t stay and chose to leave with Will, I’m not sure how she can overlook his awful behaviour.
Tbf to Grace I think she maybe the only one in there who wouldn’t stand for that sort of treatment, as she’s already said she’s had enough of it on the outside with men.
What’s wrong with men! These girls are gorgeous and most have great characters too.

I am really not keen on Grace at all. She was snogging Joey in front of Samantha's face and didn't seem to care about her feelings at all. She was even smirking at times. Then Jessy came in and she had completely double standards although I understand some of what she said and think she handled it well, she also was a hypocrite and found reasons why it was different for her. Sorry but if you and Joey had such a good connection on the outside you should have contacted him IRL rather than going on Love Island. Now she was going after Josh and she just didn't come across well to me at all.

I think Grace is used to getting any man she wants and expects Josh to go for her over Mimi

I agree and I'm wondering if this was why she was so full on with Joey when she went in. It does appear he treated her badly outside the villa and let it fizzle out. Perhaps she wanted to prove to herself she could win him back?

This may just be me grasping at straws at why anybody with an ounce of intelligence would go back for seconds with Joey Essex 🙈

Also he's worth 8 million quid!

When Ayo recoupled at Casa, we all saw how different he became - much more alive. Mimii was the same when she was with Josh

I think Mimi was thinking about how the folks at home might react to the snogging in the jacuzzi. Josh wasn’t very respectful.
i think Grace really thought Josh would pick her over Mimi. He showed zero interest in Grace- silly, vain cow.
Reuben was mortified at the turn of events. I bet he doesn’t get pied often.
Uma was wringing some proper grafting from Wil- I wish she hadn’t gone but she was so excited going off with him.
Ayo knows Mimi is the prize!

Don't let Jess hear you say that! 🏆

He showed zero interest in Grace- silly, vain cow.

I thought he did seem interested in her during their chat. He was desperate for her to name him as somebody she was interested in at least.

I just think about how much editing goes on.

To be fair Grace has in my eyes been pretty fair and stood up for herself.

It's a game at the end of the day.

This year just seems so producer manipulated though.

Josh was probably told right get in there and lay it on. With only a couple weeks left something interesting surely has to happen.

Still bloody watching it tho 😆

I just watched it back and she actually has her hand over her mouth in shock. She gulps or swallows and it makes the side of her mouth turn up a bit, but I don't think she grins or smirks.

I reckon a lot of the shocked and stunned reactions are rehearsed and staged

I also miss Ronnie and Harriet but CA would have been carnage for Harriet so it probably ended at a good point for them.

I found josh a bit handsy in the jacuzzi to say it was a first chat and Mimii isn't overly sexual in her behaviour. He could have made it a bit more fun and splashy rather than sexy seeing she was a bit off guard. Also no need to mention another girl in his selection seeing as he clearly has a two week feet-sweeping plan.

Felt a bit for Reuben. He had definitely been given clear signals to go ahead by Uma. I actually totally agreed with Jess for once that if Will cared he would be waiting after his shitty behaviour and poxy coffees. She's a slow burner though and fair enough.

Did Hugo have that convo with Jess in the end??

Oh and fuck Ayo sniffing back around Mimii. Jess is too good for him too. Not her fault she came in during CA.

Poor old Konnor but that Emma seems a bit boring, LI might not have worked for him unless someone comes in last minute but I'm sure he'll meet someone lovely outside

Just caught up. First time ever I have agreed with Jess. Let Wil wait until you come out of the Villa. If he can't wait for two weeks he's not worth it !

I can’t believe how many people are still in there 2 weeks before the end- seeing everyone squished around the fire pit was hilarious.

I think the final will be Nicole and Ciaran (they’ll win sadly), Mimii and Josh, and Joey and either Jessy or Grace if they have a reconciliation arc. It’s certainly slim pickings though!
