LOVE ISLAND 4: Konnor’s pits, are they even doin bits? ** NO SPOILERS PLEASE **

[Mummyoflittledragon]

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?

Ive read over the years that they get treatments/haircuts/nails etc on the Saturdays. There are occasionally photos of them and the crew in Palma.

HOWEVER it seems this year they're getting them more often.

Either way, this "down time" makes the entire premise a bit of a farce. They're mixing and chatting off camera for so much of the day (inc dinnertime too) that they could be discussing anything at all which might be relevant, but the viewers have zero chance of ever seeing.
At least on BB etc, they're filmed 24/7

Yeah, either he's much more into her and has realised he's the luckiest person in the world, or he's playing the long game. And we all know which one it is.
Altho, in saying that, I once dated a guy I kind of liked but didnt plan on it being a longterm thing. We then slept together and it was mind-blowing, and definitely changed my feelings for the better

I have absolutely no idea what Jessy sees in Joey. Now he is lying to her. It's bloody annoying.

With good series such as Maura, Amy and co, plus the lockdown winter edition and Ekin su, Gemma etc it works because the etiquette of keeping folk informed of any moves or intentions is adhered to, with to he occasional rogue scandal such as Jordan and Anna (obviously Casa too).

The current approach of ongoing low level obfuscation (Joey to Jessy, Mimi to Josh, Sean stirring) is just not as fun to watch as people stay in couples thinking they are secure and there isn't the movement and interest, just slightly depressing behaviour. A lot of this seems JE- centric

Harry's already picked Grace!

Do we think new girl will pick Joey?

I feel bad for Jessy as she's worried about going and getting wants to say to Joey "if I go it's because you did not make clear you wanted to stay coupled with me" and stupid Joey won't have even thought about it or doesn't care

Gah @CellophaneFlower I've totally lost the plot!!!!!

If anyone’s got instagram you can vote on love island stories now for winner for the Gratfies
One of the nominations is Mimii going up to the terrace and Ayo not going up😬

@Pink167 thanks for this, I’ve just for voted Mimi going up to the terrace now. I think everyone in the villa needs to see this one!

I daresay Lola's game plan would have been pick Joey as he's turned it into a challenge, but whether she'll bottle it in the face of jessy crying, I really can't tell. Can they decide last minute? I was a bit surprised when Reuben went ahead with Uma in tears unless he couldn't see from where he was stood.

Hmm.. that said, I've forgotten what order Lola's convos were with everyone.

Ayos brining it, great to see. Winding up Ciaran and Sean's partners and them about wanting to win. At this rate I hope Ayo and Jessica win it.

I reckon if she'd picked Joey they'd have showed it and ended on the horrified faces 😂

Don't worry, they usually lay the lot for maximum pot stirring !

That's good viewing.

I’m very uncomfortable that they are going to show Mimi’s attempt to get Ayo to the terrace. It’ll be very humiliating and given the fallout from
this sort of thing in terms of previous contestants mental health I think it’s very ill advised.

That’s true, it seems producers are out to get Mimi a bit

They’ve called it ‘epic fail’

Yep. I no longer like her, but something is clearly wrong with her IMO. This is not kind.

If her MH is an issue, they should remove her, otherwise how is it fair if the others get outed during movie night etc yet they protect her?

@CellophaneFlower I just think this feels a lot more humiliating than someone being caught out bitching about another contestant.

What did she do? I haven't seen the last couple of episodes yet? X

I agree .. it seems unkind to show that to everyone but if it was Joey or Sean we'd all be laughing and insisting upon it

That's exactly what I thought. Definitely would have ended on her choosing Joey if she had

If she’d just bitched about someone I’d have no problem but this is different.

@ReadyTeddy1000 I don’t want to say because we have agreed no spoilers 😬

Have they had extra screenings before or brought it in specially to show Mimi on the terrace? It's humiliating for her and harsh if it's the only time, but there would be nothing to show if she'd told Josh already

Content wise it is on a par with film fest stuff
