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!) 🙄

And Giorgio cracks me up with his "flirting"! Basically, if you're at a loose end and don't get a better offer, feel free to hop in with me 😂

Ben is the most single one in Casa and so the most likely to take a girl back to the main villa. And still he can’t get a girl. He has zero charm (even though I do find him unintentionally funny).

Harry will not recouple because he won’t move on any girls in front of Emma. Helena will recouple as she thinks H will. Then we get the H&H reunited and redemption story arc. Yawn.

M&D will stick and do the “we were tested and survived” storyline thinking that they are guaranteed the final.

Tommy will recouple with the Scouse Blonde and Emily will be all heartbroken. Scouse Blonde has targeted Tommy as she wants the win and the PLT/BooHoo deal.

Conor, Harrison, Yasmin, Toni, Gio, Shakira will all recouple. Main villa will be heaving.

Car crash Ben at it again!!!!! Just so bad and also so funny.

Longjohn Mustard giving me the ick so badly now. Irish Casa girl laying it on so thick she needs a shovel not a trowel. Any woman telling a bloke that she needs it 3 times a day makes me want to die a bit inside - but each to their own I guess.

Hope Georgio and stunning Casa girl with the curly hair get it on. He seems decent enough and has yet to do anything awful.

Glad Tommy has ditched the squeaky clean Mama's boy image and cracked on with the Scouser.

Boris looks cute. Will be interesting to see if he can pull scary Toni.

Yet again Helena was basically told she was nothing but a good time girl by whoever she took up to the terrace.

Harry will not recouple because he won’t move on any girls in front of Emma. Helena will recouple as she thinks H will. Then we get the H&H reunited and redemption story arc. Yawn.

Yep I think this is exactly how that will go down. Very dull, LI producers seem determined to get them to the final, to the extent they're happy to keep giving Harry a platform to be a lying manipulative turd. Now Emma's going to look like his guardian angel coming in to make him see the error of his ways, and he'll make out to Helena like he's some changed man. Watch the gaslighting continue

And Dejon and Meg will recouple making out like they 'passed the Casa test' with flying colours. When really they won't have been tested at all as neither will give anyone else consideration, but I suspect for very different reasons!

I don't know why Armada is wasting her time with Dejon. He's the classic guy who'll ditch her when he goes back to the main villa and then she'll have to play the jilted Casa reject being mardy by the firepit, telling Meg "That's not what he said to me." before going off into oblivion. She'd have been smarter going for Giorgio or Connor or even Ben god help her, though I guess she tried that and just couldn't stomach it. He's turning out to be a great demonstration of how you can't be a sexist dickhead and get away with it no matter how much time you've put in at the gym. He's so thick he can't even hide his bad attitude so will end up yet again 'having to pick one' if he wants to take a woman back to the villa, which he'll have to as he knows Shakira will hardly be holding out for him.

Also agree with this: Glad Tommy has ditched the squeaky clean Mama's boy image and cracked on with the Scouser. I was hoping that would happen. They're not the greatest match but better for the LI experience than sticking with Emily. She might recouple with someone anyway, if she's got any sense. Though I don't mind her going.

I rather like the Boris and Toni dynamic. They have interesting things to say at least, not just the usual 'what's your type' yawn, and he isn't unattractive. Anything to get her smiling and making an effort again. Harrison has turned her into a sulky sad girl and she needs to get her energy back. Thought it was interesting how Harrison's family said Shakira would be the best match for him, on Aftersun, but that's never been a possibility because of the Toni situation. Probably won't happen now either, but still, interesting road not taken.

He has zero charm (even though I do find him unintentionally funny).

Ben's charm is that he thinks he has lots and is a real catch 😂 It's a shame he has that vicious streak as I'd find him quite endearing without it.

I think Emma would give Harry another chance if he begged enough... but he'd obviously never do that, as I think in his own weird way he respects her enough not to bother feeding her bollocks. How funny he tried to say a letter he wrote her a few months ago was years ago... actually it's more hilarious he wrote her a letter 🤣🤣

Emily won't recouple - unless they show Tommy in bed with the scouser.

I'm starting to wonder what clips each other the OG islanders will have shown on Movie Night (if they have it this year).

Personally I'd like to see MyMeg the Mean Girl exposed as a sneery, poisonous little shit-stirrer, and I'd also quite like them to show that clip of her claiming it was only because of her say-so that her and Dejon aren't closed off.
Any other thoughts what we'd like to see on Movie Night?

Definitely Harry saying he prefers Emma, when he inevitably strides back into the main villa alone telling Helena she's the one whilst staring straight at Shakira .

Practically any clip of Mustard chatting to another girl as he's incapable of chatting to one without clearly mentally undressing her. Definitely clips of him with Billykiss... followed by the one where he tells her he's not into her 🙄😂

I agree that Harry seems to respect Emma and still has some sort of feelings towards her, especially if writing a letter to her only a few months ago! But he's clearly demonstrating that he's not ready to settle down with one person. I hope she forever remains the one that got away from him 😂

I thought Ben (and Harrison!) were coming across quite sleazy with the casa girls and seemed desperate for physical contact! Poor Ben doesn't have the chat to woo anyone in terms of coming across seriously.

Actually, they should show him telling Billykiss that first, so MyMeg gets even more smug... then follow it up with the incriminating evidence, so she's back to having a face like a slapped arse again.

@CellophaneFlower for Love Island producer

Someone has to keep Boris in 😍

He's rather divine, isn't he?! 😁

Boris is wonderful. Just great eye candy. I hope he stays just for me to look at him.

😂 I actually think they've done quite a good job so far this year. Got rid of the godawful dates (bar the strawberry picking one) less of those stupid challenges and the ones they've done they've tried to stir up a bit of conflict during them.

Hoping they do something after Casa, like sending MyMeg for drinks with Armada, after Mustard leads her to believe he'll take her to the main villa, then dumps her before skipping back to MyMeg for his pat on the head for sleeping on the daybeds 🙄

I am actually enjoying casa and the guys actually all seem really nice, especially Boris 😍Oh my, he is easy on the eye isn't he?

Harry seems a bit down and is not at all embracing the casa experience and its not got anything to do with Helena. His sparkle has been dulled. I think he still loves Emma and he didn't seem to be enjoying seeing her with Connor.

Harrison, well what more can be said about him? Toni who? I hope that Toni actually does what she said she was going to before the guys arrived and stop sitting there like a mug. Hope she embraces the experience and gives one of the boys a chance.

Billykiss has filled Alima's role of being the invisible one in the villa.

Liked seeing Gio and Yaz. They only seemed to have interest in each other which was nice.

The less we say about Dejon the better. The guy will never change. He loves to flirt and have his ego stroked. Be interesting to see if he oversteps the mark as he has been clever not to do that so far.

Glad to see Tommy cracking on as its obvious that him and Emily like each other but its definitely friend vibes. Just hope Lucy isn't just using him to get herself into the main villa.

And Yasmin, well she is just ace isn't she and the gift that keeps on giving.

Jamie: Do you want a kiss?
Yas: Oh go on then 😂

I am actually enjoying casa and the guys actually all seem really nice, especially Boris 😍Oh my, he is easy on the eye isn't he?

Just realised he reminds me a bit of Igor in Anora. Not so much same looks-wise, but in potential dark horse terms, who could come in an unexpectedly walk off with the girl and the show. Hope Toni builds on that initial sparkiness with him.

He loves to flirt and have his ego stroked.

I think he prefers his ego dry humped 😂 I can almost hear him now "MyMeg, it doesn't count... I didn't put it in" 😳😂😂

You just know how gutted he is that there's no sex in a challenge... as that totally wouldn't count as cheating either 🙄 Not that it would be cheating anyway as they're OPEN. But are only allowed to kiss in a challenge nevertheless 🤷‍♀️

First look is up!

Fucking Helena going after who Shakira is interested in again!!!

Poor Shakira, FFS!

The way Meg glowers instantly at any whiff of a threat!!! I hope she sees a montage of it as some point as it captures how vile the green-eye monster is and that she has real issues to work on. No point spending hours on your make-up if you're going to let that ugliness take you over from the inside. It was particularly telling how shitty she was with Shakira for being lightly incisive - and completely right - about her attitude, only to go extra raging the next moment, proving the point. The irony is, I think if they ever show the early stuff with Meg and Dejon, she wasn't even into him. It's not about him and her truly falling for him. It's about her own insecurities and needing his 100% devotion to feel secure, which she'll never get so it's a vicious spiral.

@pinkdelight I agree. Meg didn’t even want DJ at the start. She just wants him to worship her to the point of not even talking to anyone female. Talking of insecurities, Helena wants to win over Shakira everytime. Quite sad really.

As mentioned upthread earlier Harry & Emma both discussed there’s love still there, it’s a shame she’s there really as he hasn’t been himself in casa, so it’s not as good telly. They should’ve put her in after casa, or not bother at all.

I think DJ might actually bring Andrada back!? If he sleeps in the bed with her he might aswell do if he remembers what happened to Remell & Alima. I don’t think Meg would forgive that, but maybe she would if he begged forgiveness & then decided to close it off with her, who knows.

Helena's not interested in any of the males, she just wants whoever Shakira is interested in. What a jealous nasty weapon.

I think today's first look confirms Helena just gets her jollies out of the whole 'your man prefers me' thing. That level of insecurity and spitefulness is deeply unattractive.
If I were Shakira, I'd make zero moves in Ty's direction now. I'd make it clear that I'm not getting dragged into another 'pick me' scrap with the Bunny Boiler, and that if it's me he wants, he'll make that clear- to everyone.
Or instead, I'd pick another guy to get to know. Because they all know what's been happening in there pre-Casa- any male bombsheel should know that if you want Shakira, the last thing she needs is for you to be also entertaining Helena's bs.

Really hope that Ty will shut Helena down and focus his energy on Shakira if she makes it clear to him that she likes him. Haven't seen enough of all their interactions yet to see who likes who though!

Bored of Helena, I don't find her behaviour entertaining at all, just irritating and desperate.
