Couldn't think of a witty title. Bit gutted re; Grace and Reuben.

I don’t think Maya is a natural at presenting at all, she seems oddly stilted and talks too much in the interviews. Agree she was far more enthusiastic about Mimi and Josh but I would say that is favouritism and unprofessional.
Sad that Cieran didn’t win .Not so much Nicole. That explains why she looks older all the time spent in the Spanish sun.
Thanks for this thread will miss it !

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 30/07/2024 13:38

I will miss the thread too, Thank you @Turmerictolly

CheeseWisely · 30/07/2024 14:11

Well that's that then! Pleased with the result, and I actually think Mimi and Josh have got more of a chance of working outside, if only for the fact that for all her 'I trust you 100%' sadly I think Nicole will lose her mind the first time he does a nightclub PA without her, or she finds pretty girls in his Instagram comments.

I thought she looked beautiful

Mimi is very beautiful.

Joey was promised the Final pretty much.
Special Treatment as we all said and thought.

CellophaneFlower · 30/07/2024 16:01

I doubt he was promised anything. He assumed he'd walk it as he believes his own hype, what he didn't account for was the public seeing right through his act and seeing him for the misogynistic narcissist he actually is.

FakeMiddleton · 30/07/2024 17:03

I too will miss the thread.

Are we all checking in for Love Is Blind next week?

Jollylollylee · 30/07/2024 17:42

Echoing everyone else’s thanks for this lovely thread! I’ll miss it too :)

None of my friends (that I speak to regularly) are watching Love island, so it was nice to be able to chat about it across all these threads and hear different POVs!

MooonDreamz · 30/07/2024 18:15

I don't have Netflix so can't do love is blind but I'm up for LI USA

Turmerictolly · 30/07/2024 19:01

It's been fun and no-one I know in real life watched it so it was good to have the thread and see all of the differing opinions (although I think we all agreed Joey was a twit).

Might give LI USA a go - is it on ITV Be?

Thanks all for this thread. It’s great that we can have a forum to discuss LI but where we are respectful of each other’s opinions etc. I’ve really enjoyed this thread this year. 😊

Me too, very enjoyable thread(s), Thanks all. I don't think I'm on for another Love Island so soon, but then again it has become part of our maternity leave routine to watch it while we do morning feeds, so I may see you all on the LI USA thread soon....

BlackStrayCat · 30/07/2024 19:14

I will miss you @Picoloangel and @CellophaneFlower and many others.

CellophaneFlower · 30/07/2024 20:25

Awww thanks @BlackStrayCat ❤️ Will you be watching BB? If so, we can catch up then 👍

I don't think he sees it even now as last night he said it would have been different had it been a public vote & not other islanders!

Picoloangel · 30/07/2024 20:46

Aw @BlackStrayCat I’ll miss you too 😊
I remember @CellophaneFlower
from last year.

Might do BB but not sure I’ll do LI US - I think DP might our his flip flop done over that! 🤣

BlackStrayCat · 30/07/2024 20:48

😂

CellophaneFlower · 30/07/2024 21:11

@Picoloangel I always remember you as we normally have the same opinions on islanders. This year, not so much, but that's OK too 😜

I've enjoyed the threads this year as I normally go on holiday not long after it's started, so I have to avoid the threads then binge watch when I get back and have nobody to discuss it with till I've caught up and can find you all again!

Didn't go away this year as we got a dog 😂

Picoloangel · 30/07/2024 21:21

@CellophaneFlower you’ll be lucky to have a holiday again! I love our dog sooooo much but paying for her when we go away is as expensive as taking away another child 😬
wouldn’t be without her though 😊
I think this is the first time I’ve really changed my mind about islanders. Harriet gave me the absolute rage for a couple of weeks as did Ronnie but I really grew to like them. Similarly I really liked Jess to begin with but if I ever hear “I’m the prize” again in any context ever, I think I’ll spontaneously combust!

BlackStrayCat · 30/07/2024 21:22

Agree with all that!

honeyrider · 30/07/2024 21:29

These threads make the show more enjoyable.

@Mover2024 thanks for that, I was wondering how the votes went.
Not sure I can face another LI straight away now this one is over.
I might give that new Olivia Attwood show a watch when it starts or possibly love is blind. @Catlord all the best with your recovery.
Thanks all for the thread 😊.

I would have preferred Ayo and Jess too or Ciaran and Nicole. I think both couples are more genuine. I'm not sure Mimii is into Josh that much tbh and not sure they'll last that long.

Can't believe the prize fund is still 50k after all these years.

I was thinking that: wage stagnation is even reflected in the prize pot. It's unreal 😮

PerfectYear321 · 31/07/2024 00:10

Mover2024 · 30/07/2024 22:05

Surprising! I thought it would have been closer than that! Wow, N&C were never winning.
