Same as the winter LI thread, please expect tabloid and social media spoilers xx

I think Harrison will go for Shakira, he knows she's not feeling it with Ben and they seemed to have a fun chat the other night!

Who will Harrison pick? I hope he picks Toni. I really don't want her to go.

The boys picked last time and Harrison already picked Toni by coming in with her, so I'd have thought next time either the girls will be picking or there'll be some other way to mix things up, audience vote or something. Is it normally this long before an audience vote?? Feels like there used to be more.

Or am I mistaken?? I feel like the boys did the last pick but it's all a blur already. 😂

Yeah you’re right because Dejon chose Meg again, which was stupid. So yeah it’ll be girls picking or it’ll be a vote for favourites then they choose who gets dumped.

If it's vote for faves and they choose who's dumped, then Shea and Yasmin will go, no question. But for max drama, maybe there'll be a recoupling first and then a vote. It'd mix things up a lot if Yasmin to pick early and she chose Harry or Dejone, and then they got kept in as a couple either by the public or the islanders. Whatever one makes of Yasmin/Harry/Dejone, they're giving good TV. It would be good to see the islanders' reactions to their popularity too, might jolt some of the 'safe' ones into action. Whatever happens, I want Shakira and Toni to stay and find better blokes either via bombshells or casa.

I’m ill in bed so I’m going to be all over this today, but there is a lot of support for Yasmin that’s I’ve seen this morning, people think she is funny and bringing the drama, so I don’t know if she would be voted least favourite. I wonder if Shea might make a move on Shakira. Shea seems a very calm and mature guy, but I’m not sure he will have the fun element that she needs.

Yeah, if Ben's convo is (understandably) not up to Shakira's standards, I doubt Shea's gonna suit her. She wants someone witty, charming and intelligent, which doesn't sum up Shea. I don't even think he's that calm, if you remember lankylampostgate he was quite threatening/intense. I don't dislike the guy but I'd be happy for him to go and have someone with more spark in the villa. Harrison isn't top drawer but he's got a sense of fun and can have a decent conversation. Think he's go best with Shakira from the current crop, but it's v slim pickings.

Well she's funny as in funny, strange and in that people are laughing AT her. I'm actually quite fascinated by her. She talks in a way nobody else ever does... almost as though she's been kept out of civilisation for years with just a bunch of dodgy novels to read.

I'm starting to think she's actually AI... I'm definitely counting her fingers tonight 😱

YasGPT 🤣🤣🤣

Not at all, I had a snoot on the LI Instagram page and Facebook page and whilst lots of people hate her, lots love her too. They think she is good fun and true to herself and is making the programme interesting viewing. So I don’t know if it will be that cut and dry. Helena I could see being dumped, I don’t know if there is much support for her. And her ‘poor me’ act is going to fail because she did it to Shakira in the exact same way, Harry was cuddling Shakira in bed, Helena left the room after squeezing his foot and he ran out after her. That’s actually more disrespectful than Yasmin and Harry kissing in the hideaway to me. However, they lied about it afterwards which was not cool whereas Harry and Helena both apologised to Shakira. So I’m not sure. I think Shea would be voted out but I don’t know about the female side of things, it will be interesting.

Shakira and Harry in first look. Baffling.
But also maybe strategic from Shakeria, she couples with Harry, Yasminore likely to go than one of her friends….

I quite like Yasmin, don't get me wrong she has made some unhinged comments but she hasn't done anything wrong per say yet gets way more flack for it than the lads do (at least from Meg and Helena) and I'm glad Toni called it out. I didn't like that Helena kept making comments about her being boring and wooden and Meg kept making little comments towards her as well then complained she doesn't make the effort to be friends with the girls. Why would she when they treat her like that?
I think they need to send some older boys in tbh or at least older than 25.
I just want Shakira free from Bens evil clutches

Watching First Look, I can't quite believe Shakira's going to accept sloppy seconds (or is it thirds?) from Harry. I wonder if she realises she's been on the edge of things with Boring Ben and while Harry's a nightmare who she won't be able to trust an inch (his comment to D about her made me 😬), at least with him she'll get more screen time (and post-LI endorsements) until a new bombshell comes in or Casa.

Surely Shakira won’t fall for that because he already did it to her!!! So he wouldn’t not do it because she would keep him in line because she didn’t keep him in line previously?

He reminds me a bit of Ronnie. But Ronnie was genuinely funny.

It’s odd where the video cut off, halfway through Meg talking, I wonder what’s happening there with Toni and Emily. Emily seems completely innocent as a person so it’s surprising.
There’s a lot more girl on girl bitchiness this time and I don’t know why.

I haven't seen FL so really hoping it's down to editing with harry and Shakira? Surely not! Saying that, I don't think Shakira is the assertive, no shit woman she portrays... as Ben was spot on with his comment about her yesterday. She's too nice to be true to herself, like when she kissed Blu and clearly didn't want to.

I think Shakira definitely might consider engaging more with Harry for the increased screen time plus she seems fed up of Ben by the looks of it. Wonder if she'll keep her options open and continue chatting with Harrison too.

I didn't get the sense that she didn't want to kiss Blu though tbh, I think she probably just thought why not as she wasn't sure of him yet!

I love the fact there are more shenanigans going on early this year. So much more interesting than when they all become too cosy too quickly which always strikes me as being very fake.

Press release says that Connor is having second thoughts about Emily now.. and has turned his eye to Irish Megan.

Morticia is stiff like an ironing board

I’d forgotten they were in there.

Ugh all this snipping and moaning is not the vibe for a Friday night.

Not sure what's genuine or fake 🤔

Harry is such a knob! If i was Shakira i wouldnt touch him with a bargepole

What's the beef with Toni and Emily? I liked Toni but I have no idea where that came from. Can't see what Emily has done!

Mean girls.. i did like Toni but shes being a bitch unnecessarily, i'd be bloody confused if i was Emily too!
