LOVE ISLAND 5; THE FINAL

[Turmerictolly]

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

Yes. On the last page of the previous thread, or the page before.

They definitely shagged in the hideaway!

Yes and the blinking thing behind hands didn't really work when Jess shrieked 😂

That was beefy! Lost even more respect for a lot of people in that episode.

How can Jessy want to be with Joey. I gip a little bit each time I see them together. She has come across as likeable and appears to have been decent throughout and she is with that tool. The mind boggles and the stomach lurches. Love that Joey's life is so hectic, doing stuff that is all about Joey but Jessy has an actual job. Jesus wept that man is such a raging narcissist.

Sean and Matilda need to go asap. The dynamic that has developed with Sean and Joey is deeply unpleasant.

I get the feeling that LI hasn't panned out for Grace how she expected. I think she saw herself as a Molly Smith style character and it just hasn't happened for her.

I hope they get a professional in to do Nicole's makeup for the final.

I've grown to like Jess more. There is something decent and sincere about her, or at least the bits we see.

Last night's game was quite entertaining . Theyre an argumentative lot aren't they?!

I warmed a bit to Mimii tonight although not when Sean apologised and she said 'i know you didn't mean it, it was Josh really who's bothered'. My impression is now that a quiet life is the absolute main thing with her and she's compromised herself in the villa to avoid difficult conversations. I suppose in real life she will just avoid heated or messy personal situations. I liked her getting riled up and standing with Josh though, still very dignified but about time someone new called Joey a dickhead.

It's so uncomfortable watching Josh being goaded in this way especially with his friend Reuben leaving. I just want to give him a hug. Good to see Ayo backing him and Ciaran although he's distinctly had enough. I hope josh ignores those two from now on. There's no reasoning with them. Every reaction leads to gaslighting 'i didn't know you'd get this upset'.

Sean is going to find himself regretful of his behaviour when it's all over and Joey disappears back to Dubai. Joey's made his millions apparently and doesn't live in the real world. Sean hasn't (unless jellies are a lot more lucrative than I'm expecting) and does. Whatever his motivations he should have realised the optics of goading and singling out a black couple repeatedly when they've asked him to leave them alone as they've put the issue to bed.

It was Grace and Reuben's time to go. I feel they could and may still be a reasonable match in a normal setting as adults going on dates, but it feels a bit make do and mend here

Blink twice!! Eww. Wonder whether he and grace did it in there too

It would be a bit gross if Joey slept with both of them in the hideaway

How does that even work with being filmed? Is it like toilet where there's a camera but they don't watch it

I wouldn't be able to relax being watched

I was watching Grace bite her tongue and Jessie avoid looking at her when she talked about the hideaway!!!

Yes, I wondered about Joey shagging both women in the hideaway. Very icky thought. No idea how he gets the reward of two nights in the hideaway when so many of them haven't been in at all.

Did anyone notice when the camera panned to the champagne bottles in the bucket beside the bed shaking lol

Yeah I remember seeing something shaking and I cringed, as I also think he slept with Grace too when she first came in 😬 better there than the main bedroom though lol

Yep, after all we were saying about them not showing them shagging these days! Ah well!

I think mimii is totally gaslighting the whole terrace situation. She fully well knows what she was planning there. I don't like her at all.

This game always makes me laugh. I have no idea why they argue amongst themselves who goes where as at the end of the day it's the public who have decided and they may as well just stand anywhere 🤷 Personally I'd opt not to be on a podium for the good questions, hottest couple etc and jump straight on for the bad ones and just hope I'm wrong! I cannot imagine declaring I should be up there for being the best looking 🙈

Another dig last night from Sean when they said Josh and Mimii should be up there as 3rd or 2nd (can’t remember which one) for hottest couple and said ‘I don’t agree’

Absolutely this
I have been critical of Mimi and Ayo , but they redeemed themselves yesterday
Josh conducted himself well as did Jess
I really like Ciaran and I actually like Nicole. She is not perfect but wears her heart on her sleeve
.

I zoned out when Grace and Reuben got booted. What was the category for which they got booted out on, please?

Glad to see G go.

Least compatible

Iteresting Matilda didn't seem to see her and Joey as a couple, taking into account his behaviour in the ones about cheating and being badly dressed even though he has more form than almost anyone and was dressed as a yellow highlighter one day, it was all about her own effrontery. Lack of cohesion with him or just not understanding the task?

Agree with all this particularly the bit about Jess being decent and LI not panning out for Grace the way she had thought

It goes to show how little I care about Joey and Jessy that I haven’t been able to care about whether they shagged in the hideaway or not 😂. I didn’t get the whole fuss about the hideaway though - wasn’t there a sign saying no invite needed and isn’t that why Joey was just able to sleep in there with Grace?

Unless I’m mistaken about the relevant comment, this is what was said:

Joey's worse winding it all up. Typical Essex boys, it's bordering on racism I feel. Think they should go.

I don’t read that as saying people from Essex are racist.

Apologies if I've got that wrong, in my defence I've been up all night with a dog with a poorly hip and read it as 'typical Essex boys being racist'.
