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?

@Picoloangel i don’t get the impression he still likes her. I think he just can’t accept that someone might get over him so quickly and therefore genuinely thinks she’s lying to herself 🤣. The girls have stressed that he isn’t Grace’s usual type and I think he doesn’t like that either.

I think he is deeply insecure (they cut away when he cried, he was properly crying)

The girls tended to be smiling and happy and excited. The boys seemed more tearful.

Apart from Nicole of course.

@BellesAndGraces I think you’re right! Though she is reminiscent of Sam Faiers who he went out with years ago. It is just baffling to me how needlessly and relentlessly vile he is to her.

Yes that's why in my original reply I said let's hope it was for another reason and not that. Jesus!

Apparently Sam said his unfounded accusations of her cheating were relentless.

He comes across as deeply insecure (Joey). He's quite short isn't he? Wonder if there is some small man syndrome happening. Hope he heard Grace's dad mention Reuben's height 😂

Interestingly, that guy Sam Faiers is now married to also comes across as controlling.

Oh I did laugh at the lamppost reference 😂

I didn’t know that Joey had behaved in a similar way to Sam F - making allegations etc. I have heard that her husband appears to be v controlling but don’t watch her show. I still watch TOWIE though and MIC - I alway say to people if you want to understand the complexities of the class system just watch those 2 shows 🤣

I only watch TOWIE as it's my area and I like spotting all the local places!

I didn't watch much of mummy diaries, or whatever it's called, but he never came across well at all. In a particular episode, Sam was wanting to send her son to pre-school and he was really against it, saying their son had everything he needed at home. Billie was saying it was a good thing to send him, but you could see Sam was wavering. Much prefer Billie. She wouldn't put up with that shit!

Oh yes I agree about the class system ! Aren’t the Towie lot a lot more fun than the uptight Chelsea lot . Apart from Sam Thompson who fits in anywhere .
i went to my sons graduation the other day and it was easy to spot the different types.

Yeah it’s definitely not just you! I’m not discussing it “irl” with anyone I know and don’t follow any of the contestants but I did creep to Sean’s page in particular to see if others were saying the same lol it’s been mentioned on love islands Twitter/X page as well.

We can all disagree about whether or not there are racial undertones because what we see is influenced by our personal experiences

True!

Just saw the first look and even though I'm not a Jess fan, I feel like I could push Ayo in the pool.

As someone said upthread, I really hope they don't get Josh and Mimii involved. I like that smile Josh has put on her face...

The “First Look” has been posted on Twitter, but not sure if that breaks the no spoilers rule! https://x.com/loveisland/status/1815745873093316865?s=46

Catching up even later than usual (cheers ITVX!) and agree fully with this.

When Nicole ran and launched herself onto her brother I can't imagine that her labia didn't make contact with his shirt <not envy.

First Look is fine. We've always discussed it and I never find it to be that revealing anyway as they always seem to edit it to look more exciting than it actually is!

I said exactly the same thing to DH last night about the naked asses. It’s gross at the best of times but in the context of seeing your parents and siblings not to mention your oh’s parents etc. Yuk.

Mimi often seems to have hers covered which is yet another reason why I like her.

First Look seems pretty innocuous given the spoiler at the end of last night. I think it’ll be a storm in a teacup like I said.

I their response might be to do with something I read earlier saying they have had to temporarily close his sweets business as some people are giving really bad reviews & apparently their rating has gone down on trustpilot.

Ha Ha! (Bit mean of me) He thinks its gone through the roof, like Candy Kittens (just to keep the MIC vs TOWIE analogy going!)

I honestly don't know how these online sweet companies survive anyway. The market is totally oversaturated. He must have been doing something right. Unfortunately he's fucked it up.

Why would Ayo say anything about what his brother said?

Why would he tell her?! I agree completely unnecessary. He’s gone from being emotionally constipated to emotionally incontinent. 🙈

Why isn’t Ayo reassuring her more?

Couldnt he say - my brother doesn’t know you like I do?

He could lavish her with affection and compliments.

There are definitely things he could be doing to help her feel better right now.

Wtf is that pink thing she’s wearing though
