The above link is the cast line up - looks terrible tbh

I say every year that this year will be the year that I quit love island - I'll probably be sat miserably on Monday in front of itv2 🙄😄

Why didn't ekin just couple up with Scott?

I feel like Curtis was the same on his first stint, not in it to win

Ekin is unhappy her and Curtis weren't the favourites, she's probably blaming him for that in her head, and is now thinking up needless drama to try push him away! She's a fool. Get her out. It's not even good drama that she's bringing.

Luca reminds me of Gavin from Gavin and Stacey. It's his accent.

WarriorForRent · 29/01/2025 22:07

I really dont understand Ekin at all. She literally moaned for weeks on Big Brother that she was above LI, it didn't define her blah blah... yet she's gone in for round 2 and has decided to act super controlling and stuff this early on.

Like I get Davide probably didn't treat her right but surely she can see this isn't normal likable behaviour. Maybe take some healing time or something instead of jumping around reality tv shows.

HelpMebeok · 29/01/2025 22:28

I think it's all acting with Ekin. I don't think she even likes Curtis. She wants to win. Curtis and Scott were rye best bets to win. Curtis fell for her nonsense and now she's trying to create a storyline for them where they are tested and she is hurt then they get back to together and win. I hope he goes off with Danielle and she's voted off.

HairyMavis · 29/01/2025 22:29

I feel as if I am watching a different show! As I thought Curtis behaved in a really sneaky way then. He was very flirtatious with the new girl, with his body language and then he said to her in bed : “I hardly know the girl” about Ekin…

Then when Ekin asked for reassurance he didn’t really give it to her and instead used it as an excuse to “have doubts”, and the same with argument number 2. He fancied the new girl as soon as he saw her but didn’t want to be honest as it would make him look bad after saying he was “closed off”, so he turned it on Ekin and gave himself an excuse. I’m not even an Ekin fan but I can’t understand why people are blaming her, she was totally right to have an instinct that something was off.

CagneyNYPD1 · 29/01/2025 22:29

Well, well, well...Curtis and his Mr Nice Guy routine has slipped again.

He did exactly the same last time. Coupled up with Amy early in, giving the impression that he was in it for the real deal. He's no different to the others.

Ekin Su has most definitely over reacted but she's not wrong. Even if she has played it cool, he was still going to jump ship.

I'm hoping new girl likes Ron and Curtis end up with no one. And I think Ekin will walk.

HairyMavis · 29/01/2025 22:30

And as for Curtis saying he “deaded it off” with Grace and Tina… did either of them show an interest in him?!

I agree with this!

bumblenbean · 29/01/2025 23:15

Argh Curtis is giving me the rage! I'm no Ekin fan but why does he keep saying to her he's been closed off and that he told the newbie that, when in fact he was definitely flirting with Danielle and said he barely knew Ekin?! Talk about two faced. And there's something really smarmy and self-satisfied about him. He always seems quite patronising to the girls - almost like he's infantilising them. I can't believe he's in his 20s, he acts more like a 40 year old!

Not been too impressed with the bombshells so far. They need to bring in someone like Megan BH to really stir things up ...or the king of love island gods.. Ovie!

Surprised by Casey- he does seem quite set on Gabby. Time will tell but he's being uncharacteristically respectful so far...

In his head they did 🙄 he's so arrogant and frankly has little reason to be!

also what's with the phrase 'deaded it off'?! It's a horrible phrase - and deaded is not a word 😆

Definitely agree re Curtis

Never liked him

I love my ekin 😄 but she's a drama queen. Not wrong at all though

Scott would've been the better pick, now he's stuck with the girl who was saved by luca

FreeRider · 29/01/2025 23:56

Ekin definitely over reacted, but Curtis is a slime bucket. I also think they are really scrapping the barrel with the 'bombshells' this year - however it would amuse me if Davide turned up...

I know the relationships in there develop at an accelerated rate due to the amount of time they spend together, but Ekin calling Curtis 'my love' and 'my man' and banging on about 'falling' didn't half have me cringing...personally I don't think they have any chemistry together but then I can't think of a single couple in there that really does.

myfaceismyown · 30/01/2025 02:10

I really can't stand Curtis or is equally slimey brother. both try to smarm their way to suit their own narrative. Yes Ekin can be a drama queen. I think she is of the age when she wants the love and family that many of us idealised at that age and without freezing eggs there sadly is a time limit. There is no one else in the villa suitable for her. I have no idea, literally NO idea why anyone would fall for the Curtis very fake smarms. Painful to watch. You need a real human being Ekin! Rather mad idea - would she be better off with Lucca?

JustFeedMeCake · 30/01/2025 06:34

@myfaceismyown I absolutely agree with all of that. Never liked Curtis. There's nothing genuine about him.

Edited

I think that he makes women feel good about themselves, when they first meet anyway. He hugely turns on the eye contact and compliments and looks at them as if he is smitten. I can see how that would feel appealing to someone like Ekin who is very insecure ( and has been cheated on apparently). I think he feels like a “safe bet/Mr nice guy” - but then turns out to be as sleazy as the rest of them in the end

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 30/01/2025 08:09

Tbf though to Curtis-he does hardly know Ekin-they’ve only known each other for two weeks and with filming, for large portions of the day they are kept separated boys/girls so that the film crew can actually catch all of “the chats”.

MrsPeterHarris · 30/01/2025 08:53

I think you're right @HairyMavis about how he makes women feel. Plus he can dance & has that very natural dancer's charm!

well then he shouldn't have told her that he didn't have eyes for anyone else and they were closed off!

vjg13 · 30/01/2025 10:04

Curtis and Ekin have been playing a similar game. He turns on a lot of charm and she acts like the adoring girlfriend. I do prefer her to him though and his behaviour wasn't great on the date.

TheLemonFatball · 30/01/2025 12:33

Just caught up on last nights, and Ekin is absolutely batty. She would make me so uneasy as a friend/partner/colleague. I'm sure there's a good person within, but she needs to drop this main character bullshit. She comes across so unauthentic.

kerstina · 30/01/2025 12:46

Ha they are too game players playing each other.Ekin and Curtis . He hooks people with his charm but doesn’t seem that genuine. She hooks them with her beauty and charm. .He keeps saying about wanting people to be themselves but Ekin is the ultimate actress. Not sure about Luca and Ekin together although they are both insecure . She did seem to want to touch him with the poking though. She seems far more worldly than him like his Mum!

Heidi2018 · 30/01/2025 14:08

Im a bit behind but if my fella ever described me as a "top notch girl" he'd be gone. Some ick! I want Curtis and Ekin to go, can't stand either. I can't listen to Curtis and just think Ekin is acting (more than everyone else!)
