Love Island UK, Summer 2025 🏝 - Started Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 ... THREAD 3

[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

On week 5 now (I think,) and I don't think there is one single solid couple at the moment. They're all over the place! 😬

Continued from Thread 2. (Obvs!)

Checking in.

Dejon looked thoroughly bewildered by how that convo with Meg went. I’m not a fan of hers but it was good to see her get a bit of backbone.

Thanks for the new thread.
I agree, D wasn’t expecting Megs reaction to be like that, I think she’s had enough.

He expected tearful gratitude and for her to throw herself into his arms. He was most confused!

It us very disheartening to see how some of the girls are treated, and have allowed themselves to be treated. Meg, Helena, Toni I am looking at you!
I can see Meg leaving the villa of her own free will to be honest. I think Gio had had enough and engineered his own departure too. He didn't come over really as LI material!

I’m a bit confused because the girl Ben is coupled with said at the fire pit at the recoupling that Harry said he missed Helena didn’t she? But to Helena when four of them were talking she said that Harry said he never missed
Helena. I’m wondering if I heard it right?

I liked the Casa girls and even Maya trying to point out the red flags in front of Helena's 😀 face and reminding her that she deserves better. She's been a unique villain but I do feel sorry for whatever happened in her past to make her this way.

Harry now bragging about levels - isn't that some kind of incel red pill pickup artist chat? Even Harrison seemed repulsed.

And I haaaate this, but I felt a spark during that conversation between Harrison and Toni.

Glad Meg is finding her backbone. Hopefully Movie Night will be the undoing of MyMeg and the 50k fades from his eyes.

I don't know what red pill pick up lines are, but I have to say Harry is the diametric opposite of involuntary celibacy!

I hated the preachy and judgy attitude of Maya and the Casa girls telling Helena she deserves better. Treat her like a grown up, let her do what she wants and deal with the consequences. Helena seems fairly guarded and like she knows not to take it too seriously. Harry is a knob but entertaining and maybe I'm giving them too much credit but I think they both (all) know it and don't need Emma to tell them.
I can definitely see Toni and Harrison getting back together or at least sneaking away for a snog.

Nah, I think the lady doth protest too much about not being bothered by his antics and being “the same person as him” etc.

Emma is no doubt entirely correct about Harry’s slimeball ways, but her (understandable!) sour-faced resentment is off putting.

Helena adores Harry and wants a chance to lock things down with him and hope he doesn’t stray from then on (although of course he will).

Will they throw in any more bombshells? If one came in for MyMeg now that would be awesome 😄

Toni still wants Harrison. He’s very young isn’t he - 22? He’s revelling in the LI experience.

Well they eeeked as much 'drama' as they could out of Emily's disappointment and Tommy feeling a bit guilty, but it wasn't really all that, given they'd not been coupled up that long.

I think Toni must have had some kind of breakdown as how she could possibly be so invested in that baby Harrison I just don't know. I must be missing some utterly fabulous aspect to his character!!!!

You could make a whole show out of how vile Harry is. I think there is something very wrong with Helena too. She seems to think that just because he tells her stuff, that this makes it ok.

Same old, same old with My Meg and Longjohn Mustard. He is way cleverer than Harry but is still playing the same games. Meg should have got a grip of herself ages ago and moved on.

Can't see any long lasting connections being made with this bunch at all. They are all in it for the exposure.

Movie night will be fun but is also almost entirely predictable.

I thought she said he hadn’t missed her? That’s when they all started having a bit of a go at Helena for putting up with him.

Yes - Harrison even said “I don’t want to get to that level.”

Harry now bragging about levels - isn't that some kind of incel red pill pickup artist chat? Even Harrison seemed repulsed.

Omg no?! Missed this. The problem with this is it goes over lots of adults’ heads including mine but the most impressionable audience of teens and young adults will know exactly what he means.

Exactly. Dreadul creature he is!

I reckon all this with Harry has to be impacting Helena on some level, but she doesn’t want to acknowledge it because she doesn’t want everyone else to be right. She wants to prove them wrong. She knows how desperate she’s behaved and it would be too hurtful to her pride to admit that she’s done it all for nothing! Harry is supposed to be the prize that she has won off Shakira after all.

Thanks for new thread. May movie night end with Dijon pushed in the pool.

I think Helena’s a mix of Cool Girl and low self esteem.

I don't mind Harry (and think the comments about his hair are unfair).

I think it’s hugely amusing that even Ben can see through Dejon’s “cleverness”.

Let’s face it, D and H are going to make a small fortune when they leave as the bad boys, so all good for them.

I think the reason Dejohn hasn't 'gone exclusive' with Meg yet is because he has a plan for some stupid treasure hunt/ fancy bracelet/ special cake or similar and hasn't had a chance yet.

I can see from the First Look that Meg the Mug has become Meg the Mouth, as it looks like she's gobbing off at Shakira. I imagine her clips show some of her nasty bitching. Hopefully she'll be called out on the fact that she thinks it's ok to egg Helena on to wear Shakira's bikinis or interrupt her chats with Ty- but hits the roof any time another girl so much as looks at 'D'. The hypocrisy is insane.

First look does look like it’s been edited to fuck so not 100% sure that Meg and Shakira are arguing with each other.

From first look I don’t know if I can cope with Movie night, all shouting over each other and Dijon being a dick.

@Stef3- some helpful if grim pics re incels/red pills…

Sorry for any detail on a light fluffy Telly addicts thread but useful for us to be aware of for our kids 😖
