Love Island UK, Summer 2025 🏝 - Started Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 ... THREAD 5. Countdown to the end, now we're in the last week of the series...

[LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway]

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!

Harry is really unattractive and rarely looks at the girl he's talking to in the eyes.
His chat is rubbish imo

Helena would STILL take Harry back in a heartbeat. I worry for her self esteem. Her friends are right. She deserves better than to be treated this way

For the win…Anyone But Harry (ABH) please.

Toni and Cach or Yas and Jamie. I’ll even take Conor and Megan or Angel and Ty.

At this point, I would rather see Dejon and Meg win and that is really, really saying something.

Surely the producers would take steps to ensure Harry isn’t in the running to win? They ousted Harrison because he was so blatantly off-message. They’d have to feel the same about this lying piece of whatever?

The last week is normally pretty uneventful as far as drama goes.

They haven't had talent show yet, or the sports day thing they normally do, both of which are quite entertaining so I hope they have saved those for this last week so its not all lovey dovey stuff and boring last dates where they all say 'I never expected to find this in here, and I can't wait to see how this goes on the outside' 🙄😴

It looks like the producers are in favor of the Harry Shakira storyline. I think they are trying to spin a redemption arc, that he's a changed man etc
A few tears can actually convince some people! And if Shakira says a few times that he has to work for her, many won't realise that it's been her plan all along to go back to him!
And many people will fall for it and vote for them, I think they could actually be in with a chance of winning it.
Personally I think it's absoutley awful and this season has completely turned me off the show, don't think I will watch the final week or the show next year. The producer manipulation has just been dreadful.

Surely audience is cleverer than that , I mean WTAF! Anyone but him! Even mustard has more morals!

Regarding Shakira backing off from Harry in the past... she's said several times she wanted him to fight for her so it's clear she would have gone back if he did.

Harry twisting what he said about leaving with Shakira or on his own to Helena, saying it was as she'd removed herself 🙄 And taking off his sunnies so we can all see his tears 🙄🙄

I do feel sorry for Shakira though. It's literally Harry's job to have the gift of the gab and she can't have much life experience at 22. She'd done so well so far to just crack on in there and not let that toad define her experience. If he was any kind of man he'd just let her go as he knows he won't stay faithful to her.

Well exactly! As I said (and others have said,) there is no clear or obvious winner(s.) My money right now would be on Yasmin and Cach, as they are probably the least offensive/least annoying/most likeable, although slighty boring... 😆 Not one single one of the other couples should win IMO. Why the HELL did they bring back bloody Megan and naffing Blu?! Both deeply unlikeable and annoying!

I haven't even downloaded the app this series, and haven't voted for anyone, because I don't care enough about any of them at all.

There is speculation that the Shakira, Harry clip is from before meet the parents.
If I were Shakira’s parents I’d be taking her home with me.
Hopefully she’s mature enough to listen to them telling her he’s a wrong un and doesn’t go all teenager prove them wrong.

I'll take your money then as they're not even a couple 🤣🤣

If you were Shakira’s mum what would you say?

I’d probably tell her “he isn’t the one” but that she should do what feels right for her.

She must know that if she convinces Shakira entirely, it’ll completely take Shakira out of the running to win. I actually think she’s in with a decent chance to win if she’s coupled up with Harry!

Surely not? Harry must be the most despised person in there and I reckon Shakira will lose a bit of support if she gets back with him. She didn't come out top in the last vote either.

Hopefully Shakira will come to her senses. It is upsetting for Helena but Shakira has done for a favour in the long run.

Not sure who I want to win as I don't love any of them but hopefully not Harry or Toni as they are my least favourites.

So tricky, cos I feel Cach and Yas are individually the most likeable characters but aren't a couple and their partners bring their own issues - Toni is polarising and Jamie is nice but super mild and made very little impact. Shakira and Harry - whatever the horrors of it - have both had arguably the biggest impact on this season so there's an argument for them to win but I don't think they will, and I don't think Shakira is that arsed for winning. Con and Megan are into each other but shouldn't and won't win. Ty came high in the last popularity vote but again, his partner is no one's fave and rightly so. Meg and Mustard... I'm like a stuck record but I do fear they could take it, which sucks as they're not a good couple, but they're bound to do the 'love' thing this week and I bet their families will back up their deserving winners narrative tonight and keep up the dull charade of it.

On balance if I had to vote now, I'd vote Cach and Toni, as he's both a good guy and had some drama so not as bland as some of the others, and I do still like Toni as a character on the show, even though I wouldn't necessarily like her IRL.

Can anyone remember - when it gets down to the last 2 or 3, do we vote again? Or do all the numbers come from one initial big vote across all the couples?

I think you’re underestimating the public’s desire to see Shakira succeed (and to some extent - see her succeed over Helena after everything). It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a push in support for Shakira, even if it means Harry winning too.

I’ll continue to vote for Toni & Cach probably!

I think Meg will get my vote to win, not because I love her but I feel she has so much hate on the outside and I don't think she deserves it. She has certainly had her moments but the amount if hate for her is crazy.

I don't like Toni or Harry so would not like either of them to win.

I think a lot will depend on how the producers decide to portray everyone in the final few days.

If Shakira had stayed with Ty or Conor she would have easily won. But she is probably more concerned with brand deals than winning in the long run.

But if this was the case, surely she'd have come out top in the last vote when the public could vote for her alone? I can't see how being with Harry is going to win her extra votes.

Even if Mug was the most amazing person in the world, there's no way Mean Mr Mustard would be getting a vote from me!

I think the producers will really push the Harry is a changed man, he changed for Shakira, his feelings for Shakira are so real,
narrative and a lot of people will fall for it!
I definitely think they could win.

You're just reinforcing my decision to vote for them, there is absoutley no need for the name calling.

Wasn’t it Yasmin who emerged as most popular woman amongst voters? So surely she and whoever she’s coupled up with are likely to win? The producers can always magic up some drama for them during the week; they’ve been very low key so far.

Yasmin and Toni were the top 2 girls but it wasn't necessarily in order. Cach and Ty were top 2 boys. So when you look at it like that, Cach and Toni, who were both in the top 2 should win?

However I think Shakira and Harry could win it now they have obviously reconciled.

If I am honest, I don't really mind who the overall winners are. I have just really enjoyed the series and don't get too embroiled or invested in who will win it.

I won't decide who to vote for until its literally time to vote and it will depend on how this final week pans out. At the moment its between Toni and Cach and Yasmin and Jamie but that may well change.

I really couldn't care less who you vote for... but please do lighten up 😁

If I remember rightly, her mum seemed a bit like her on After Sun - but I might be confusing her with another mum!

Maybe that’ll be the dramatic story they want: Mum goes in and reminds her about her morals; lots of reflection on the stairs of doom; Harry gets dumped. haunting music
