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 think Harry would have stayed with Shakira if Helena hadn’t thrown herself at him. He sticks with her as she lets him do what he wants.
I can’t believe the clips they showed - painting Meg as a wronged woman by Shakira and Toni, yet ignoring all they have said about them. I hope it changes tomorrow!

@Jellykattotally agree Yasmin is Jay from inbetweeners in a beautiful package.

Also not keen on Megan being back. It’s very like Emma going in, the I know what’s being said about you so you better do as I say attitude. Without the creepy armpit talk.

Wish they’d sent Conor home and let them have an after sun reunion.

Tense atmosphere likely to continue tomorrow as I think there's another clip to be shown of Toni and Shakira calling out M&D's BF/GF status!

Did I miss Helena asking Harry whether he still had feelings for Shakira before the awards ceremony? Or did they not have a chance to talk. Reading the press today suggests she's ended things, I wonder if Megan's feedback tipped her over to making that decision as well as the aftermath of the awards ceremony, which again completely humiliated her. Maybe Helena will be the one to walk or end up with Blu!

Today’s episode made for uncomfortable viewing IMO. They are young adults doing fairly typical things young adults do; but the editing does not seem fair or considerate of the impact this may have on their lives post the show. I hope the cast - especially Harry, Shakira & Helena - are being cared for behind the scenes.

It looks like they are trying to isolate Shakira and Toni completely. They have pitted them against Meg and Helena AND against Harry and Dijon, yet not shown Dijon and Harry scheming or Meg and Helena talking behind people's backs.

Bringing Irish Meg back is unfair too. She has told them what the public are seeing so they can rewrite the narrative now.

I doubt Helena is actually upset about 'the boy' but she's certainly humiliated.

Off topic but when the Boots 'glam' team were doing make up and the girls had their hair pulled back, the only ones who stood out as pretty were Shakira, Toni and Angel.

Yas is coming across as somewhat deluded. Unless they have omitted pretty much every conversation she has had, she is dull to watch and listen to yet seems to think she's a thrill seeker that nobody can keep up with.

By the way how do some posters know what is coming up tomorrow? There seems to be some spoilers but where are they coming from? Is there a live version or extra bits somewhere?

The clips from the grafties were added to Instagram/FB stories a couple of days ago for the public to vote for the winning clips. The further 3 categories left to be shown are 'best no filter moment', 'best emotional moment', and, 'unfinished business'.

There's something I can't put my finger on regarding Shakira.
I like her but not as much as I want to... there's just something missing and I dont think we see the real picture.

I think it's just him and his mum, he probably went to an all boys school and had a rugby career so maybe no opportunities for female friends.

I don't suppose they'll show Helena laughing at Shakira being upset over Harry. Nah.....

Agree with the isolating Shakira and Toni, and bringing Megan back was always going to boost the Meg and Helena contingent as they instantly revert to how they were before. I do think it’s shitty, when someone was legit voted off.

The clip they showed of Helena laughing about Mug with Mustard should have been brutal... but they laughed it off and Mug is scared to make a big deal of it as I'm sure Mustard can retract her girlfriend status at any time.

Have no idea why they showed what they did on the double act thing between Mug and Helena. That just made Harry look bad, which is good, but not the point and Mug look like a sweet, caring friend 🙄 Also annoyed me that when Shakira was trying to explain why she said what she did, that Mug said something like "oh you're never going to let that go" - she was talking about why she had the hump at the time as she'd just watched that clip!

Because they're thick. See also Towie.

What do you mean?

Helena is feeling karma bite her arse. She is now feeling exactly how her and Harry made Shakira feel when shakira was coupled up with him.
It’s good to see her taken down a peg or two at last. She’s been so smug and up herself and so spiteful to Toni and Shakira. She’s not even a good friend to Mug, bitching about her with Dijon!
I don’t like Megan either. She’s a big shit stirrer and I don’t think she’s into Connor at all, she just wants to win.

They must be confused in there. They know that Shakira/Yasmin/Toni are very popular with the audience, yet all they’ve seen of Shakira & Toni in terms of clips are them being nasty.

It’s interesting to compare Mug’s reaction to Shakira on Movie Night, to Mug’s reaction to Shakira last night. I think Megan has reinforced how popular Shakira is on the outside and Mug was trying not to lash out at her, hence the tears.

I don’t feel bad for Helena. She had no problem at all being in a triangle when it was her creating one (Harry, Ty & Harrison).

When Toni and Shakira went up to collect their award, Toni said something like "this is on you, girl", which felt to me like she was putting it all on Shakira. I mean she may have meant she'd let her do the speech but it did feel a bit like she was throwing her to the wolves.

I took it to mean, you're doing this shitty speech!

The best, and most sincere, relationship in there this year is between Toni and Shakira - I don't think Toni would put all the blame on Shakira like that.

I agree, reckon Toni meant the speech too..
No way would Toni throw Shakira under any buses!

Agree it was just about the speech.

Meg's reaction is always huge confusion and outrage that anyone could think she's not 100% lovely. Her face changes in an instant and she's incapable of listening to any explanations or very reasonable justifications of context. All she can do is lash back and go on the attack because it can't possibly be 50/50 fault. Bottom line is she's just not very bright and Shakira's wasting her breath even attempting to justifying the whys and wherefores. Knowing that, the show should be much more even-handed and not set one group up to be the enemy. Especially now Megan's in there with her privileged knowledge, motor mouth, big ol shit-stirring spoon, and nothing to lose by gunning for the win. Ugh.

You do come across a bit spiteful 😂

Do you have a personal grudge against LI or something?

I think the conversation that's going to be shown later about M&D's GF/BF status was instigated by Toni with Shakira wasn't it (can't fully remember!). Toni might need to own that one more anyway.

It's annoying that Megan's been allowed to give feedback from the outside, how the hell is that fair? With the above, I'm hoping she might redeem herself a little and tell M&D that Toni and Shakira were just saying what everyone else is thinking on the outside and that it's due to how they've been towards each other (ie. very fake IMO!).

I agree with the PP that Megan's come back to try and win and for more exposure after her first stint was cut short. I think she likes Conor but it's more for the winning chance that she'll couple up with him.

This poster feels deliberately goady and is really personal about the contestants.

Megan's in there with her privileged knowledge, motor mouth, big ol shit-stirring spoon, and nothing to lose by gunning for the win.

I think this is a brilliant summary @pinkdelight 😁

I'm Irish and usually am fully behind anyone Irish, but I can't listen to Megan (her accent grates on me 😬). I do think Conor and her "get" each other in a way that only people from the same place do.

I really feel for Shakira - the producers are gunning for her, and I don't know why?

What did I say? 🫤
