I couldn’t see a new thread so thought I’d make one. Yup another boring one… Anyway looks like Konnor has bagged himself a Lollipop though I’m surprised the candyman didn’t get in there first (ugh). We haven’t had half as many games, the hideaway is perma open and no one’s going in there. No real discussions or code words around how the relationships are going on the chemistry front. What’s going on?

Hardly any dates either - though just as I said that last night Matilda and Sean went on one! Still don’t like either of those two.

Matilda wears some hideous creations though the available wardrobe this year is vile.

Ayo and Mimi looked very downcast at the end of the decoupling. Ayo says absolutely nothing in any conversation. I have come round to the idea that he and Mimi are better matched - they have that very quiet energy.

Marking my place!

Rollergirl11 · 13/07/2024 10:42

Also marking place. I haven’t seen last nights. Is it worth watching?

pinkdelight · 13/07/2024 11:03

It has gone exceedingly boring alas. I didn't like Jess but I guess she must've kept things happening in there, as per Harriet and Ronnie (ah days long gone). Now there's FA happening. They can't seriously be ekeing drama out of Mimi, Ayo and the new guy. Mimi isn't that bothered, Ayo is dense and can only repeat what's just been said to him ("Is it?" "Do I?" etc) and if that's the big drama, or Ciaran being remotely near someone other than Nicole, then we're screwed.

The recoupling was a joke. Who else could Lolly realistically pick? And I've been holding back on my Konner angle, because I remember there was an old poster on these LI threads for years and all they ever said was that contestants weren't straight, and was rightly decried and I swear I'm not that poster, but I can't help keep coming back to it with Konner. He's this gorgeous nice guy and absolutely no one has gone for him at all. If he's straight and he smells okay (re other thread's latest theory), then how the heck to explain it? It's not just lack of chat. Barely any of the guys have any chat. We'll probably never know I guess, but it's been a bizarre one, and the girls all clearly are in agreement on it, and no way did Lolly have any chemistry with him on the date. It was the most cursory boxtick and peck goodbye.

Anyhow, this post from the other thread sums it up, apart from the 'attractive', because I do think they're all goodlooking at least. Just not many personalities. And peculiar about the challenges. There used to be too many, now almost none. Has the props budget gone??

Many of the cast were neither attractive nor interesting
There are hardly any challenges either which is strange
Rubbish season which is a shame because it started off well

I always find the last few days v boring and hate the awful dates. It’s always clear who the producers want to win because they pull out all the stops with serenades and majestic ruins and some poor sod gets a horrid looking picnic in the middle of nowhere. I never watch the dates or the final on a good series and there is no couple here that I can even get behind.

I think Konnor might be a handsome v sexy thing. Often people can be one or the other and being good looking without being sexy is pointless dating wise. I think Indiyah was bang on when she said he gives kids to presenter vibes.

I don’t think he smells as ironically I don’t think Jess would have made such a crass and insensitive remark about sniffing his pits. It was just a joke after he asked her to check his teeth.

He also just seems too nice, sensible and straightforward for LI.

Catlord · 13/07/2024 12:05

They keep saying on morning after that Konnor's utterly lovely but never makes any moves and he snores like buggery. Lolly seems outgoing and as long haul cabin crew, she'll be able to sleep through anything.

I suppose LI isn't exactly just the most exquisite looking young uns in the world ever, as in the pick of a top model agency's books (although occasionally stone cold stunners get through). It's more the best looking/most confident of each of a given friendship group from a different part of the UK who have the least trouble picking up on a night out, all with their own strategies. If Konnor's is smiling sweetly and looking friendly in whatever Cornish seaside tourist town of an evening, waiting for girls to approach him, that won't work compared to say, Ayo, who is willing to wander up to anyone and mumble riddles at them.

I thought 'good on Josh' for taking the direct approach with Mimii and Ayo's farting about. He's made himself clear and I hope stands by that if she keeps sidling up to Ayo for a little flirt. I wouldn't put up with it either and it doesn't show much pride. She can be friends with him as part of the group if that's all it is. They've had weeks now and should get on with it if they want to, giving Jess and Josh a chance to look elsewhere. I don't really care for either tbh even if Mimii is a favourite. I liked that Jess was a bit firmer in her boundaries in the recoupling and I hope sticks to that too.

Poor Sean. All those sweet shop lines he's missed out on with Lolly. I hope Matilda grants him a pass to ask her, just this once.

whyamisotiredallthetime · 13/07/2024 12:40

Thanks @Mummyoflittledragon

Was looking earlier .. it's so boring we didnt even notice thread filling up 😂

Catlord · 13/07/2024 12:44

Thanks for new thread!!

pinkdelight · 13/07/2024 12:50

Poor Sean. All those sweet shop lines he's missed out on with Lolly.

😂Brilliant. Though he's so dim, he'd probably not even capitalise on it.

Konner's a hairdresser as well though - how can he not be better at the chat?? Doesn't he have to chatter to clients all day long? It can't just be the snoring. I mean, it's saying a lot when the only thing to talk about is why someone's so uninteresting. Christ, let's get the fake baby challenge and meet the parents BS over with and accept that Ciaran and Nicole are going win... then split up because he's too young to settle down and she's a jealous nightmare (albeit not an interesting one).

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 13/07/2024 17:35

Apparently Konnor doesn't make any effort and expects the girls to approach him and make the effort. I'm guessing back home he's used to girls taking the initiative because he's considered a catch locally.

Also yes to the snoring. Apparently Emma was desperate to leave because she was only getting about 20 minutes sleep a night !

MooonDreamer · 13/07/2024 18:56

I'm a bit behind as I'm just up to where Lolly is dating the boys

Grace really annoys me

when Jessy was worrying about Joey in the hideaway with Lolly and saying she can't talk as she came in and took Joey from Grace and Grace was like yeah karma's a bitch but she did the same with Samantha! No self awareness

MooonDreamer · 13/07/2024 19:01

Also Lolly looks a lot older than the other girls

FusilliGeri · 13/07/2024 19:13

When Konnor asked asked Lolly in the Hideaway why she had 11 11 on her necklace she said

'because I look at it every day'

WHAT DOES SHE MEAN?????

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 13/07/2024 19:17

@FusilliGeri

😞
Sigh. I'm clearly far too old as I roll my eyes at this stuff ...

Angel number 1111 is a powerful indicator that you are in alignment with the divine guidance and support of your angels. It signifies that you are on the right path and that the universe is conspiring in your favor. This number serves as a reminder to trust your intuition and have faith in the journey ahead.

FusilliGeri · 13/07/2024 19:20

Wow, thanks @kenyaswhiterefrigerator. Very illuminating. It was driving me insane as she just waffled that out and he took it in his stride like she was talking actual sense.

BruceWillissDribble · 13/07/2024 20:16

LOL i wondered that as well.

Picoloangel · 13/07/2024 20:53

@kenyaswhiterefrigerator thanks for the explanation. I’ve just rolled my eyes in sympathy.

Aquarius1234 · 13/07/2024 21:08

Massively lost interest in this series few weeks ago nearly.
Casa just seemed a pointless exercise.
But mainly it's like watching paint dry and the chat and edits yikes awful.
I wanted to throw stuff at that TV watching a bit earlier in the week. Can't remember what exactly what eye rolling and annoying. Was difficult to watch in a I really don't like this programme way!! Probably Ayo stuff. Just general lack of personalities in there.
Zone out so much and fast forward the couplings.
Also so many boring episodes which seems odd for such a big series like Love Island. Just about product placement really

BruceWillissDribble · 13/07/2024 21:12

It is all really laboured isnt it. None of the characters are really likeable. I think my fave of the lot is Ciaran, he's not a bad guy, has his eyes on the prize and is going for it. Don't like Nicole at all. Of the girls, Jessy is probably my fave, she doesnt seem stuck up and she just gets it. Not a bitch or a gossip or drama queen.

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/07/2024 04:01

Apparently Konnor doesn’t make any effort and expects the girls to approach him and make the effort.
After he’d had a chat with Lolli and prior to her officially entering the villa, he said something along the lines of how she would be pulling guys for chats. My thought was why wouldn’t he be pulling her for a chat.

I also like Ciaran and Jessy the best. They seem the least wrapped up in the world of fame and the most genuine and likeable. Uma would have won hands down and I like Mimii also.

CatMumSlave · 14/07/2024 08:59

Ayo and Mimi are taking the piss with Jess and Josh. They've both asked if anything is going on as they don't want to look daft and they've said no.

Ayo had Mimi but didn't want her.

Not 100% sure Josh is fully into Mimi though as there is no other option but Jess is falling for Ayo.

I thought the same! I think Jessy is my new favourite - she just seems so lovely.

CellophaneFlower · 14/07/2024 09:51

I have only just caught up as kept falling asleep through Fridays.

Why did Lolly look so pissed off at everyone else's recouplings? She could have at least pretended to care! I found her reason for picking Ciaran for the date a bit odd, he's mature for a 21 year old? Well how about pick someone older then? I had actually thought she'd picked him to get him out of earshot of Nicole to give him some home truths... but no. Actually the most pointless 'date' I've ever seen.

Mimii was gutted she had to pick Josh. I was so wrong about her, she's neither strong nor knows her own worth.

I'd happily give Ciaran all the money if he'd sign a contract agreeing to stay away from Nicole forever. Jess and Ciaran would be great together 😩

Mover2024 · 14/07/2024 10:01

@CellophaneFlower I thought Mimii looked happy to choose Josh! I think she really likes the way he treats her

CellophaneFlower · 14/07/2024 10:36

Watch her face when he sits next to her!
