Love Island UK, Summer 2025 🏝 - Started Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 ... THREAD 4

[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

OMG, can't they all just learn to get along?! 😩

Another few weeks of snoozeworthy arguing and attention-seeking to go - from these brats!

As you were folks!

I missed the early episodes - how did Megan go out first time round?

We dont know if its staged tho? Always convenient editing

Megan left far too soon.

I liked Megan, same spark as Toni..
Blu on the other hand was a non event then, and no doubt will be again, although the boys seem keen 😀

It would be a shame if Shakira did go. She doesn’t want the only other decent guy, Ty. Maybe they could win as a friendship couple - is that allowed?

Megan was a mean girl before and now they’ll really gang up on Shakira, particularly as Helena suspects there’s unfinished business between Harry and Shakira. They’ll want her out.

She was voted least favourite islander by the public

Ty is with Angel and they seems quite happy, although Angel seemed to be overly pleased that Blu picked her!

Am I the only one who didn’t see the intense relationship Shakira says she had with Randy H ? I don’t remember them being love’s young dream? Shakira is such a drama queen she certainly plays to the camera

Same. I can’t remember them even being together. Can anyone fill us in with what happened?

Was thinking the same but admittedly I’m not totally focussed when watching as I’ve got a newborn and a child who doesn’t sleep.

They were together & made a great couple, snogging & getting close in bed but Helena wouldn’t leave Harry alone (& he left Shakira in bed after kissing her to go to the hideaway with Helena). Kept saying things like she couldn’t wait to fuck him & being overtly sexual in her flirting. Harry lapped it up & Meg & Dejon kept encouraging him to get with Helena. Shakira said she didn’t do triangles so removed herself.

Given how Meg has reacted anytime anyone spoke to D, there was a lot of talk of double standards with how much she encouraged Helena.

Both Meg & Helena (& Megan when she was in) were really nasty & spiteful towards Shakira (but it did all seem to be based on jealousy). Shakira is a queen who has handled the situation with such maturity.

What a biased interpretation!
That’s not how it happened!

@ILoveBrum did they make a great couple though? I can't remember much beyond him lying to her

Absolutely agree with this. Harry was all for Shakira and tried to bin Helena but she wouldn’t leave him alone. Shakira and Harry did have something and I think he really regrets going rogue with Helena. I believe Shakira when she says that she doesn’t want Harry but she wants what she had with him. I would love him to go all out for Shakira just to wipe the big ultra violet smile from Helena’s face.

It’s really easy to forget that Shakira is 22; 22! She has been put through the wringer by Helena, Meg and Emily. I don’t think she’s fake or overly dramatic. I think she’s very young and has had vacuous Helena and her weird oversized fake teeth laughing in her face every day. Helena and Harry are nearer 30 and old enough to know better.

Pretty pointless asking the public to vote for people and then putting them back in. Particularly Megan who was v v unpopular with the public and Blu who was a complete non event. The boys have been pretty poor this year though we have had three great Casa boys in Ty, Jamie and Cach.

That crossed my mind ! They did promise twists this year but sadly she seems to have fell for the bad boy.

Agree. Definitely likes the drama. Which is fine.

This is exactly what happened.

I think Shakira would have moved on from Harry, even if Helena wasn't interested.
It's easy to get bored with someone in there after an initial spark , plus shes 22 and I doubt wants a serious relationship.

Also in total agreement with this and @Picoloangel, Harry clearly did like Shakira and saw much more dpeth than with Helena. Even Emma knew this and told Harry so in their first villa chat. He's a slimeball though, and Shakira knows this, so agree she doesn't want him back. But watching him around the villa is making her realise how she wants to feel again, with someone else.
I also think seeing Harry and Helena 'going exclusive' etc is probably also a reminder of how she's been treated by that group in general. I think people are forgetting she's just 22, and she's been put through the mill by people far older than her.

I will never understand the impunity some people have granted to Helena and Meg to be snarly, scheming, grade-A bitches, it baffles me.

I don't get the love on here for Shakira. She is pretty and I think that makes people overlook what a bitch, hypocritical shit-stirrer she is.Also she is so loud and hyper and uncouth. You can tell she comes from Burnley!

Agree about the questionable and order of editing tonight!

I think Shakira handled the situation with Conor as best she could, she chose not to fake it until the end and will likely lose any chance of winning. I also wonder as PPs have said if she might choose to leave shortly especially when the grafties are shown tomorrow. At first sight, they appear to be heavily biased towards showing Shakira and Toni as being the sole mean girls. I'm intrigued to see how Megan plays things out with the girls as she'll clearly know the public are in separate camps in terms of who they like (as in this thread).

As others have also said here, Shakira is stirring up some drama but I don't think it's fake and I don't blame her for not settling with someone she's not 100% convinced on. I just hope she resists Harry continually chipping away, he just loves the chase.

What's wrong with people from Burnley @catbathat ?

As for 'uncouth', I'd say Helena telling Slimy H 'i can't wait to fuck you' is a better example!! Or is that perfectly fine because she said it in a posher voice?

Harry & Shakira did seem good until she kissed Blu in the hideaway. Harry ran off to the hideaway with Helena as an act of revenge but wanted to stick with Shakira. Shakira sacked it off and then Harry spent a week or so pining over her back. They rekindled but then Hells Bells started skin walking & begging Harry for a shag. Eventually Shakira grew tired of it and walked away. I think Harry acted as though he ended it, even though he literally said in the final conversation with Shakira “everyone in this villa wants me to be with Helena, apart from me”.

Helena was always second choice for Harry, but she was convenient, desperate and she had the seal of approval from Mustard & Mug. If Shakira fought for it I reckon she’d have ‘won’ him, but even at 22 she recognised that he wasn’t a prize worth winning.

It seems like we're watching a completely different show! I'd rather someone was upfront rather than being sly any day of the week. I don't understand why you're directing negativity towards the people of Burnley 🤔
