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!)

Mug’s face when she learned her and mustard weren’t top couple - priceless! I think Shakira will choose H and L to go and get away with it by telling Toni they shagged because the boys are bound to let it slip . Toni will forgive her and know she’s dodged a bullet. H will dump L as soon as they leave.

Ty and shakira have literally had NO airtime so it's hard to tell if their spark is better than Connor's. I did feel sorry for Ty when they went in the hideaway.... but again we have no idea what's going on with them because they're getting no air time!

Not sure any of them should be told they are top of the vote till the final night..
But whatever lol

Where are Billikiss and Boris? I want to see more of them!

Shakira won't want to pick Harrison or Connor to leave. But she'll smooth it over but going down the route of 'Tommy and Lucy are happy and got what they came for, whereas the other couples need time to explore connections'.

But really meaning, I want Connor and Toni wants Harrison so they're not going.

Harry will be back on Shakira now he knows she's popular. He did the same with Helena when Shakira was in the bottom 3.

Toni clearly thinks the public agree with her about Harrison and Lauren. When actually, they just don't like Harrison and Lauren is a bit desperate.

I think if Shakira and Connor get together they will win. I suspect the producers have pressed Connor onto this, knowing he's had a thing for Shakira and there aren't any real couples in a with a chance.

We don't see enough of Yas and Billykiss with their lads, Megan and Dejon are unpopular and Helena and Harry are a joke.

Not sure any of them should be told they are top of the vote till the final night

I know what you mean. Last year, I think Whitney thought she was untouchable because that was revealed and then she blew it.

However, I’m happy that Shakira knows how popular she is because I think she’s been given a rough time.

Had to laugh at Harry asking another one of the boys if he’s going anywhere nice on his holiday when doing his hair.

So, we’ve been told two OGs are going. Ben’s one. So the couple going has to be only one OG. That’s Tommy. The others were all later, I think. Connor’s the only one I’m not sure about but I think he was later.

Conor's an OG.

I didn't like Shakira much at the beginning but she has grown on me. I actually think herself and Conor make a good couple - both seem fun and capable of holding a conversation that isn't mind numbingly boring. I do think there was probably plenty of flirting going on between them throughout but it didn't make the edit.

Harry looks like a broken man. He hitched his horny self to Helena and is now realising she is a pain in the Swiss and dare I say not particularly good looking. She looks good in a bikini but that bitchy attitude is written all over her sneering face.

Helena will look back at this and cringe so much. Doing the most to catch the attention of that cretin. That mocking laugh she does and the way she talks as if she is so blasé about it all when we can all see she is DESPERATE for the affection of a TEMU Troy Bolton.

The voting etc is ridiculous when you take the editing into account. How could people possibly consider the couples that we see nothing of.

This year is particularly bad. Zero craic as far as I can see. They are all moping about gurning for lads who are not even holiday romance material.

As.per, it's a pile of instantly forgettable shite that I will persist in watching only to instantly forget as soon as the final credits roll.

Conor & Shakira for the win 🏆

Meg was struggling to hide her happiness that Andrada was going, had to cover her mouth.

I don't think Shakira is the type to let the popular vote change her plans, so would be surprised if she stuck with Ty over Connor just because 'they' came top. She's been in the bottom as well so will see the absurdity of it.

I also seem to recall on a previous season where this happened, the top couple instantly plummeted after having to make this impossible decision so she'll know it's a rollercoaster and will go with her gut and still try things out with Connor i bet.

But I agree it's likely Tommy and Lucy to go home, seeing as they've 'found love' so their journey is over and the others deserve chance to explore other connections.

I've really been watching this too long! Still fun though, intermitently.

Don’t think Conor will go, if it was up to the public Emma and Conor would also have gone tonight I think.
Have a feeling she will send Tommy home because she knows Toni still likes Harrison

There’s no story with Tommy and Lucy anyway. It’s nice that Tommy had a little action but it’s not genuine interest especially on her side. Might as well head home now. The others are all involved in some kind of intrigue at least.

Yeah, surely it’s Tommy and Lucy going..? Toni would give her so much shit if she sends the love of her life Harrison home so she has to forever ask What if about the one that got away. 🙄 (I actually quite like Toni but think she needs to stick with the nice guy.) And the producers would never let her send Conor home given things seem to be kicking off between them - or would they for the twist/shock factor?

Seems a bit unfair if the couple who seem most compatible of the three/with no wandering eyes or love triangle are voted out when the deciding factor was meant to be compatibility though. But yeah, I’m sure the old chestnut of “You’ve found each other so your journey is over” can be rolled out. 😄

Also thinking Harrison can’t go home what with the ticking time bomb of what happened with him and Lauren in bed, and how Toni hasn’t got a clue - yet?

Just caught up. If Tommy and Lucy go, Shakira will have to own the decision as I think Ty would choose to send Conor and Emma home (for obvious reasons 😂!).

If Conor stays and gets with Shakira, Ty might make a move on Lauren but think she's too blinkered by Harrison. She'll regret sleeping with him, I'm embarrassed for her!

Emma desperately trying to generate some screen time with Harry as she has nothing else going on and doesn't seem interested in anyone left. Is it too late for more bombshells? 🤣

Positively surprised to see Shakira and Conor coming together. IMO he's not the most physically attractive but he seems to have a confidence within himself, is he the same age as Harry? That hat he was wearing in the hideaway hot tub can go in the bin though 😂

Conor is 25.

Yes, Lucy isn't into Tommy at all. Yes, he didn't seem to have sexual chemistry with Emily but at least she was gorgeous (naturally) to look at unlike plain Jane Lucy who has no substance + looks " attractive" as in peroxide blonde hair + huge Fakeness on the face will always attract attention. But beautiful or gorgeous? Absolutely not. All she talked about in Casa was superficial stuff/is she hot/could she turn Tommy's head etc. Now the couple has no airtime.

I’m so pleased that none of the Casa boys were in the bottom 4. Not one.

Dejon will be gutted that he and My Mug weren’t most compatible couple. Harry won’t give a shit about any of it.

Helena will be thrilled that her and Harry were not in the bottom 3 and will see it as a sign that they really are meant to be.

Lessons in dysfunctionality!!!! WTF was Lauren thinking shagging Harrison? How are we raising women with so little self-respect? Literally rewarding someone for treating you badly. I know that LI is full of desperate wannabes which by default means that they are a bit mental, but so many women in there doing the "pick me" dance for shitty blokes.

Cach seems decent and Toni is chasing that hideous man-baby Harrison. I have lost all respect for her. She and Harrison should be together because they are not good people and deserve each other.

You could literally smell the disappointment through the TV from Mug & Mustard that they weren't voted the most compatible couple. I think that was probably the best moment of the whole evening for me.

Emma is just annoying me now. No idea what she is doing there. Struggling to believe she was with Hairplug Harry for 5 years as well. The whole thing just seems bizarre. Helena showing true weakness just again by asking Hairplug to let her know if he's going to talk to Emma!!!!! FFS.

Not sure what I think about Shakira & Conor. Suspect that they should just stay friends. Conor has an impressive charm offensive but I think he's probably better as a flirty pal than a romantic connection. Liked that Ty was unrattled and laid on the charm, rather than getting all shirty and defensive.

Connor expressed an interest in Shakira a few times so does not surprise me his making a move now as Emma is a pain in the bum. It might be better for Tony if Harrison goes but I hope it is Tommy who goes.

I agree, even when Megan left she said Connor should go for Shakira.

It must be Tommy & Lucy going, I can’t see them sending the other couples home as Shakira wants to get to know Connor and she knows how much Toni likes Harrison & even though she doesn’t agree with it, Toni wouldn’t forgive her if she sent him packing.

I think maybe more bombshells will come in this week.

Harry looks like he's lost interest in being there since he got back from Casa. Emma is painful. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry and Emma hadn't broken up but concocted that scenario and entered the villa with Harry playing the lothario of the villa then Emma enters and Harry changes his way and gets back with Emma and they hope to win.

The show is so produced nothing would surprise me anymore.

He absolutely has. Since he has been back he has totally changed. He has lost his cheeky spark and banter and its like being around Emma he feels like he can't be 'one of the lads' anymore and muck about. Its like he has been shut down. He just seems quiet and sad.

Emma is terrible. Banging on about how she knows Harry better than anyone else. The connection they had/have is far superior and if she wanted him back she could get him. Really get a sense that she feels she is better than anyone else when really she is not all that.
