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!

If you wanna read OTT bitchy/ catty / negative criticism. Go read the Tattle Love Island threads!

I personally think Meg is worse than Helena.
People here seem to think they can be bitchy and say really negative things about one person but dont like it when the ones they like are slated!

Conor wasn't always nice. People really bitched about him not long ago. Stuff I read like why is he even on the show. Does he ever smile. Only enjoys hanging out with guys. Doesn't like when girls wanna spend time with him on outside.

Anyway I've read nasty things on here which I dont think are accurate. But I dont call them all out.

Quotes from other forum I read : -

How can Shakira be hung up on HARRY????? Does she know what he looks like I can't believe that she shed tears over that munter

He's a proper uggo isn't he? I don't know why anyone wants him.

My thoughts on tonight's ep. Megan is still a chav and loud af. I have thought for a while that the producers are really in Connors ear and this confirms it.

I feel for Shakira and as much as I like her it's probably better she leaves as you see she's had enough.

Harry couldn't care less about Helena not a single fuck given.

I don’t think I want to read them ! Sound like v surface level bitching ! Ours is soo much more insightful and a study into human behaviour, or so I’d like to think lol😁

Toni and Shakira should couple up. Friendship over dicks. Literally and figuratively.

First Look is up. The producers have added Harry to their hit list. Actually starting to feel a tiny bit sorry for him and I can’t stand him 😬

First Look looked good! Surely Everyone was shocked seeing the full Harry reveal. Surely Helena will call it off now?

I’d love if this could happen.

They’d be a great duo on tv shows.

I’m genuinely flummoxed as to what Yas, Dijon, Meg and Jamie chat about. They are incredibly dull people. Yas is utterly delusional to boot so I imagine she spouts some amount of imaginary drivel.

Megan is awful. I didn’t watch the first few weeks this year so she’s completely new to me but she’s rough as….

Cach is the nicest person, Shakira is the most interesting and Toni the most entertaining. When they aren’t in clips, it’s not worth watching.

Angel, Blu add nothing to it. They might as well trot off taking Megan with them.

Nah he’s been very arrogant and hasn’t given and won’t give a thought to how he has treated the women other than care about how the public perceive him.

First loook does look brutal. Get some popcorn in for later.
I don’t feel sorry for Harry. He’s had it coming. I do feel for Helena and Shakira having to sit through it.
And all of them having to be around Harry at all.

Would be good if he got dumped to be honest.

From love island.

I dont like how Harry never admits he's in the wrong. Typical.

If he cares about how the public perceive him he must be extremely thick. I mean I get that Mustard either thinks we're thick or doesn't realise how toxic he actually is, but Harry is so blatant with what he does, he can't possibly be bothered what anybody thinks of him.

I think (could be wrong) that he perceives himsenf as being a Jack the lad. He has huge self confidence - the mullet, the speedos, girls throw themselves at him, he can switch between girls at a whim.
He was a bit miffed to be in the least popular boy category but brushed it off saying he was being authentic. But shortly afterwards he started creeping around Shakira so he obviously came to the conclusion that as she being the most popular girl, affected his popularity.

First Look: Harry is not going to be able to spin this. Hoping Shakira and Helena dump his sorry arse.

Glad Harry will get his comeuppance! Have absolutely no idea how it's going to pan out, which makes it more interesting to watch in comparison to recent years. I could see there being a mass dumping where people refuse to couple up in protest! Do the rules prevent 2 females from coupling up in friendship 🤔😂 Shakira and Helena coming together might redeem the negativity that's been focused on by the producers.

For those that can tell a lot about love island is manufactured/ staged/ stupid unnatural chats/ dates/ one on one outside villa stuff.

What do you think currently. As far as what you remember in the last week. As its shallow and often forgettable.
My question is what if any bits do you think are not producer driven?

For example in the last few episodes. Which bits do you feel are natural and not forced?
I really would love to know what stuff isn't prompted.

I actually felt the exchanges between Shakira and Harry particularly those in the dressing room felt quite real. That’s the most emotion I’ve seen from Harry all series. He is a master manipulator though so who knows if it’s remotely genuine.

Ohhh very interesting First Look. I hope the girls finally unite over the real enemy.

Blu appears to be sticking his oar in with a bunch of bad takes so not concerned about Yas jumping ship.

I reckon the producers have found the cast harder to manipulate and fit the LI mould this year. Personally I think it’s made better viewing. M and D have followed the usual format and I think have been rewarded by the producers in coverage shown. A lot of the others are a bit more ballsy than recent past series and I think have been great viewIng but not the usual stupid false declarations of love the producers seem to usually like. Will be v cross of Meghan and Connor become a viable couple for voting in final as she was booted off and should’ve stayed off,

Im convinced the producers dont want Helena and Shakira to join forces. Im sure they are friendly enough. But they dont wanna show much interaction at all. Just having Harry as the main issue.

I was thinking a while ago that could possibly be why producers dont like? Shakira and Toni. They say too much. Where as Meg and Helena are very one note. One dimensional.
Yet viewers like 3 dimensional people that say things without thinking and have different flaws and humour at the same time.

Indeed the LI mould is dull as
I think whoever works behind the scenes or LI has no idea what makes a good realistic TV show. They never let things just happen.
Given wall to wall coverage to M and D shows they donf care about the viewers.
In fact I think if they had their way. They wouldn't want viewers having any say whatever.

I cannot stand Harry. Now he’s manipulating Helena into feeling bad about what she was getting up to when he was doing the same thing. I’m convinced his suddenly sad eyes and unsure about his feelings is literally a ploy to win more votes. He’s known about Shakiras feelings for a while, how many times has he said he knew he could win her back if he wanted etc.
it really feels like the producers think we’re rooting for them, I really hope he doesn’t win by default of being with Shakira.

See this is why I really rate Shakira,it would have been so easy for her to stay with Ty or Connor but she is really honest about not feeling it. I think people can pick up on the real relationships I didn’t buy into the winners of last year. Mimi and Josh. They split up shortly after didn’t they. I have been watching season 3 I missed it first time round . I think there were at least 3 genuine relationships in it that year. Kem and Amber , Chris and Olivia and Camilla and Jamie.

Definitely not rooting for H and S.
I liked when S said she wanted to be single.
