Love Island UK, Summer 2025 🏝 - Started Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 ... THREAD 2.

[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

So Love Island is now on week 3. Will the arguing and bickering and catfighting continue....... ??? (Probably!) 🙄

With the attitude she's currently displaying, you can see why she hasn't had a boyfriend! I'd be surprised if she had any female friends with the way she treats others.

Yeah, the lies just roll off his tongue with such ease.

Such an odd order for the recoupling. Generally it’s engineered so that someone is forced to make their choice but this very much took it out of Harrison’s hands.

I wonder if the producers knew that, had Harrison chose Helena, Toni would be done and out. And by forcing them back together and keeping Helena as ‘the other woman’ they get to keep this storyline and the drama going abit longer.

Helena showed her true colours right at the beginning when she went off with Harry to the hideaway. Obviously it takes two to tango... but she's shown what sort of girl she is.

She's not coming across well at all... it's giving desperate.

Well it won't take long for what Helena said to Harry to get back to Shakira and more drama starting up.

This challenge is cringeworthy 🙈

I could not hate this challenge more!!!! Every season it seems to get less jokey and more pornstar. So eeeew!

I just feel embarrassed when I see the guys, like it's not sexy in my opinion.....

I hope the outfits didn’t come from eBay.

Embarrassing all round.

As expected Harry and Helena's heart rates were raised the most by each other and Shakira's not happy.

Who raised Shakira's heart rate the most? I missed that bit

I think Tommy raised Shakira’s the most?

Helena is not a girls girl at all. I think she is incredibly jealous of Shakira who is a very naturally pretty girl that wows men without much effort. Whereas Helena isn’t and has to use her ‘availability’ to reel men in. Put simply and crudely, Helena is the one they’d all be happy to sleep with but they’d take Shakira home to their mum and marry.

Would be great if they did a favourite couple vote now to get rid of Ben and Helena 😂 It's also time for Toni to go, Harrison is really not into her and she looks miserable.

I think some of the girls were initially quite jealous of Shakira as all of the boys were interested in her at one point. Still think she might have considered Harrison if it hadn't been for her friendship with Toni.

Oh my god THAT is who she reminds me of!

Can tell Harrison really doesn’t like Toni

😂 yes stiffness mom. How accurate

Tommy I think

He’s terrified of her!

Completely agree! Helena is nasty & the type of girl who will go after any bloke simply to prove she can have him. I think she’s very insecure & would feel sorry for her if she weren’t so horrible.

Yep, she looks a lot older than the rest of them.

Anyone else thinking the producers really hate Shakira?

Yes @Waitinggame42023 & no idea why as I think she’s fantastic!

What makes you say that @Waitinggame42023 ?

I get the impression they're setting her up for a big sympathy edit. I think the producers like Shakira and Toni more than the other group.

Ugh Helena. What’s the betting she said what she did to Harry just to raise his heart rate and “win” She’s deeply unpleasant. I’ve grown to really dislike her. She’s so desperate but it’s a bit worse than that in terms of how she treats the other women in there. I agree that she’s the kind of woman men will sleep with and quickly discard, she’s just too available and has no self respect.

Harry would be a nightmare boyfriend - always looking over your shoulder for someone he considered better. He’ll probably be like this at 60.

Helena and Harry deserve each other. Shakira needs someone worthy of her. The boys are not particularly good looking or interesting this year.

@Plasticwaste I feel like she's got a fair amount of humiliation in the Snog, Marry, Pie game, and then again in that heart rate challenge. I think it was only her and Meg from the girls that didn't raise anyone's heart rate? I guess it depends how much the producers do actually manipulate things- but it seems like they're backing Helena (when it's not deserved), but giving Shakira a hard time. Undeservedly, as I also think she's great @ILoveBrum!
