I’ve only ever called it W K D too, but yes I agree with an earlier poster- why they would be getting excited at 0% W K D is beyond me! It wasn’t the best years ago even with alcohol, so I’m really surprised it’s even still around!

TwinCheeks · 12/07/2024 14:40

Def W-K-D to us. And the shittier el cheapo brand was VK Vodka Kick

WKD is technically pronounced Wicked according to their Wikipedia, but I and many others called it W K D- if you ordered that in a bar nobody is going to stare at you blankly, they'll know what you're asking for.

I'm not suggesting nobody would know what you meant 😆
But it's incorrect, that's all!

As incorrect as Krispy Kreme being pronounced as Crispy Cremm.

sweetpickle2 · 12/07/2024 15:12

I didn't say you suggested that, just saying who cares how it gets pronounced so long as it's understood. Same as Crispy Cremm.

First look is up- if Mimii goes back to Ayo I'm rioting.

CheeseWisely · 12/07/2024 15:20

As I said upthread regardless of what Wikipedia says, the owners / makers of WKD would not have thrown tens of thousands of pounds at ITV for sponsorship and then had the brand name pronounced incorrectly on screen.

As it happens WKD has an Instagram page (wkd_official) and it's pronounced W-K-D in all the promo videos and reels on there, which I think settles it!

Whaaaaaat? In that case I eat humble pie and stand corrected!

Ooh looks like some aggression coming out of Josh there. Dont blame him for being fed up with the ayo/mimi sitch. Wonder who picks in the recoupling tonight.

CheeseWisely · 12/07/2024 15:48

@ReadyTeddy1000 Would you like some W-K-D to wash that pie down? 😉

I wouldn’t say ‘aggression’.
He is understandably pissed off.

No, I'll have some svgnn blnc instead, pls 😆

purplefox97 · 12/07/2024 16:42

I can see that Mimis heart is still with Ayo. They are both holding back slightly in their couples now..

Jess telling Ayo she’s a little bit obsessed with him and he just said ‘that’s cute’. No reciprocation

Sweetenuf · 12/07/2024 16:45

Yeah I wouldn’t say aggression. That’s an interesting choice of word? Josh is just pissed off and annoyed, slightly embarrassed too maybe. Understandably so.

I hope he is upfront and Mimi sorts it out with him. I do think she’s too friendly with Ayo and they need to cut the one to one chats out .

I actually like how the islanders are so full of life on zero alcohol. There’s a lot wrong with the islander culture but I think this is a positive! They’re just excited to dress up and dance :)

Gaffe · 12/07/2024 16:46

If you cant see the passive aggression in his words and language...

Lilybetsey · 12/07/2024 16:50

I do t blame Josh, words 'it's completely over' not matching actions cutie one to ones and overt flirting.
Mimii needs to give her head a wobble - it's actually dull and rather pathetic to be crawling after the crumbs from Ayo's uncertainty ...

whyamisotiredallthetime · 12/07/2024 17:04

Who do we think " Lolly " will choose ?
I can't seriously call her that 🤭

Gaffe · 12/07/2024 17:17

Well she needs a tall chap so wont be little Joey. She needs an older man as she's so old. Maybe Josh.

She’s only 30 not so old 😮

Jellykat · 12/07/2024 19:35

Funny that Ayos Jess was in the bottom 3 girls, then he starts flirting a bit with Mimi, going slightly cold with Jess at the same time.. hmm....

Fudgetheparrot · 12/07/2024 21:07

ReadyTeddy1000 · 12/07/2024 13:13

Seriously, this is blowing my mind 😳
It's literally "Have you got a wkd side" in their branding.
Like VPZ vapes shop, TRNSMT festival, the Weeknd, Irn-Bru, Grindr

Fuck me never realised VPZ was vapes and my husband shops there all the time 😂

this is like when I found out summer of 69 is not in fact about the year 1969

sweetpickle2 · 12/07/2024 21:07

Nicole is fuuuuuming

sweetpickle2 · 12/07/2024 21:10

Why is she acting like Ciaran asked someone else out??

Back21970 · 12/07/2024 21:12

Don’t want to be mean, but does Lolly look really dated?

I can’t see there being any interest in there for her, she’s stunning but could be taken for a woman at 40 surely?

sweetpickle2 · 12/07/2024 21:16

40?? Christ I hope I look like that when I’m 40!

yasminandtheredrose · 12/07/2024 21:18

What's the chances of ciaran and Nichole winning this? I'd be gutted if they win

Lilybetsey · 12/07/2024 21:21

At this rate it will Be Psych Nicole and henpecked Ciaran or sleezy Joey and Jessy
