As I say, this is the countdown to the end, now we're in the last week of the series. I think it finishes on 4th Aug... Just over a week away.

No clear winner(s) at the moment really, quite a few unlikeable contestants, and lots of arguments and discord! I'm almost looking forward to this series ending to be honest! 😆

As you were folks!

I agree @kerstina

Maybe Harry is just acting but I like him and Shakira. They seem playful, affectionate and happy. I do actually think that they are compatible. I sort of see the awkwardness others have described but I attribute that partly to Helena being around at first and partly to the fact that they are much newer than other couples.

The proof of the pudding will be whether Harry can resist the temptation of women throwing themselves at him after this (and sadly I think they will be) and I suspect the answer to that will be no.

I know she’s polarising but I like Shakira and think she at least owns her mistakes. Unbelievable that Meg said to her that she didn’t like her but when Shakira said it back, Meg was immediately playing the victim.

I like Toni and Cach but don’t think that they are compatible. I don’t think they’ll last.

Yas and Jamie I do see as genuine and lasting.

Ty and Angel - Ty is a good guy but Angel is vacuous and jarring. Her fake laugh goes right through me.

Dejon and Meg cannot win. Meg is dim and has been exploited by Dejon but if I hear her say “ but we are boyfriend and girlfriend” like it means anything to him and is some sort of golden handcuff guarantee to winning, one more
time…aaarrgh

It’s interesting that I can’t recall anyone ever referring to the cameras in previous seasons never mind saying that they must adjust their behaviour to play to them. They do know we are watching, right?!

I think Meg needs constant affirmation and validation - this is why she’s unravelling as her posse has disappeared. Dejon is blaming her for their being unpopular on the outside - obviously it can’t have been him! They are where they are and both have contributed to that. They are both thoroughly unlikeable.

I am voting for Sharry if they don’t get voted out tonight but I fear they might. Never in a million years did I think I would a vote for a couple that included Harry. 😬

It’s a shame Blu was only given a good, fun edit in Unseen Bits after he’d left the show.

Phelicity · 03/08/2025 13:47

Harry and Toni would have made an interesting couple.

Plasticwaste · 03/08/2025 14:21

I think the majority of this cast will end up on All Stars, tbh. Even now, it could keep going indefinitely with constant recouplings.

Not convinced in any of them but think the producers will pull out all the stops for the two big characters Harry and Shakira.

Jellykat · 03/08/2025 14:28

I like Harry and Shakira too, I think they both enjoy having a laugh together, in a playful silly way (which Helena didn't do unless it was sarcy and aimed at others).. as a couple you deffo need to have a laugh together!

Yas and Jamie won't last, he's such a sweet happy-go-lucky bloke, while she's stiff as a board physically and mentally.

Angel and Ty are just a yawnfest..

I really like Toni and Cach separately but not together.

Meg and Dejon are toxic, and uncomfortable to watch. Hope they go tonight (but probs won't)

BrentfordForever · 03/08/2025 15:38

Interesting latest bookies favourite:
Toni/Cach first and Harry/shakira second

mustard is last!

yaz is third , I wonder what pushed them down from the top place?

heroinechic · 03/08/2025 16:21

Who do we think the islanders will send home? I reckon Ty & Angel but I’m hoping for D & Meg!

I am hoping for D and M but I suspect many of the former Islanders are either friends or feel quite intimidated by them. I guess Ty and Angel are low hanging fruit and are incredibly boring so maybe them unless of course only certain couples are in the frame.

Plasticwaste · 03/08/2025 17:04

Nah, it will be a dramatic dumping since it's the last one. No one cares if Ty/Angel are in the villa or not. Past islanders will probably be briefed by producers to up the drama for airtime. This will be Meg/Dejon's karma and they'll get to leave in a big talked-about moment 🤞

TempleOfShrooms · 03/08/2025 17:05

I really hope D and Meg are voted off. I do really feel sorry for Meg, Dejon is always trying to make her feel bad over inconsequential things like the love language question. She always feels the need to defend him (and herself) to everyone. He seems to have nothing but contempt for her and if this is what he is like in front of the cameras (that he is hyper aware of) then imagine how he would be off screen. He constantly talks at her and he doesn't let her speak, this is screaming abusive tbh.

I was routing for Jamie and Yaz but after the episode with the babies, I'm not too sure they are as compatible anymore. I don't think theres any couple in there I'd want to win, only individuals

Iwishilivedinfairyland · 03/08/2025 17:21

I think Ty and Angel will go tonight, just because it's an easy cop out if the other islanders are voting. They won't be brave enough to vote Meg and D out.

Phelicity · 03/08/2025 17:24

Cach seems quite decent, but I really don’t want Toni to win.

Will that even matter seeing as they won't be living with them either way?

Aquarius1234 · 03/08/2025 17:47

Im never watching Love Island again if * WIn. ???

Plasticwaste · 03/08/2025 19:49

I survived Jess/Sammy so I'm locked in till LI's dying breath.

That was a particularly low point. 😬

Deadcog · 03/08/2025 20:41

I'm always impressed that people can remember ex-Islanders. I didn't recognise most of those people walking back in and that was from this series!

OMG I forgot about those guys! Guess this is me too!

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 03/08/2025 21:08

Oh dear them making up was sooooo cringy !

Youllnevergetabetterbitofbutteronyourknife · 03/08/2025 21:11

So they made up and Mustard got a hand job for his troubles! 🤦🏻

I did a little sick in my mouth when I saw that.

What do you mean, not brave enough? What would be the consequences?
