Love Island UK 🏝 - Season 13 Thread 3

[TellingBone]

I needed a test...

What's the betting this is trotted out again?

They should rename it the Jas show !

Absolutely agree she is absolutely lovely and they do get on so well. It depends if he likes the emotional rollercoaster or not.

Agree. Love Charlene!

God yeah we picked up on that. It immediately smacked of the Jasminisms that have pervaded the whole way thru.
That attitude iyswim?

I'm going against the grain but I'm pretty sure that I saw some tears from Jas, she just kept rubbing her eyes quickly so they weren't falling down her face. She's allowed to be upset. I'm not defending her though and think she needs to reflect upon her own behavior particularly in terms of how she dismisses Kav's feelings. I agree with with pp who said that Kav did seem love bomby/full on with both girls very early on

I didn’t think it was fake, was surprised to see all these comments. If it was real, it was horrible to watch. All contrived for ‘entertainment’. I felt really grubby afterwards.

It’s all being contrived by the producers to get Simba/Ang and Kav/Jas in the final. They’ll all be back together at next coupling mark my words 🥱

You’ve mentioned gaslighting a few times now, when did she gaslight Kav?

Think Kav does need to get off the fence. I think Jaz’s tears are crocodile tears - she knows she’s fucked up with Kav. I think he knows it’s not good with Jaz and she’s not his usual type and that it would be easier with Charleen in all sorts of ways but … he’s in lust with her. Lorenzo still waiting in the wings as is Jordan.

By flirting incessantly with Lorenzo and then making out Kav was unreasonable when he brought it up. She has been disrespectful. At least he ended it with her before he had his Casa fling. They’re not good for each other.

I think she was upset too but I found it quite hard to empathise with her feelings because she has shown no consideration for other people’s feelings in this experience.

When Mica said about Jas being upset for Priya I nearly spat out my tea, Jas was so wallowing in her own experience that nothing penetrated but nothing ever penetrates with her only Jas.

Kav is absolutely no angel but I genuinely think Jas needs a Lorenzo. Someone as prone to lapping himself up with sprinkles on top as she is at lapping herself up. The difference is no matter how hard I want to dislike Lorenzo I can’t.

So sick of Simba’s refrain, I fucked up bro. I really fucked up. I want to be a better version of me. I wouldn’t trust him to go and get a pint of milk. He must have whiplash!

Poor little Kav seems to have forgotten all about Jasmine‘s flirting with Lorenzo.
He sees this beautiful sophisticated, intelligent older woman and can’t believe his luck.

Princess Jasmine now realises that the actions have consequences; snuggling up for cozy chats with Lorenzo certainly doesn’t seem like a good idea now!

I did like Lola‘s comment after she watched Sean‘s outrageous dance in the competition- I can see why you won angel! I can believe that she has found a connection with Sean as they seem to have been kissing almost non-stop since they first coupled up. I remember Dejon and his plans to win with Meg. Sean and Lola are completely different altogether.

I find it hard to believe that Yas is so enamoured with Tommy as he doesn’t seem to have much about him.

I’m loving Jordan’s wait and see approach- I do worry that that bloody awful hairstyle will end up getting him voted off too.

I’d like to see Jas and Simba fuck right off now in a public vote for the least popular Love Islander, followed by an almost immediate recouping.

Many times over the Lorenzo situation, when he questioned their closeness and she was all “how dare you”. Then again yesterday in the movie night confrontation. It hasn’t nice to watch.

Wouldn’t it only be gaslighting if she actually was carrying on an “affair” with Lorenzo? As it stands, they only have a friendship with a bit of flirting, which she was honest about. The fact Kav didn’t like it doesn’t make it gaslighting!

I think Jas is upset but not because she was falling in love with Kav…laughable and said to gain even more sympathy. She’s just royally pissed off as she probably usually gets to call the shots in a relationship with whoever is worshipping her feet. She quite liked Kav but he wasn’t her normal type. Kav couldn’t believe he’d landed himself someone so attractive and “sophisticated” but was so out of his depth and ultimately scared of her and losing her. So found someone in Casa so much more his usual type and Jas now just feels humiliated by the whole thing and is probably dreading the thought of having to now couple up with Jordan for the duration…hence the tears!

I agree with this, I think she likes Kav but guessing she's used to being worshipped by men who are mesmerized by her beauty. I think she's feeling humiliated and rejection, which is probably something she's never experienced much of before!

Agree 💯

She's 28?
But talks like a 14 yr old. I mean I know it's slang and all that but no young women I know talk this way.
I'm probably being judgey.

Jas seems beautiful outwardly but very insecure surely this is why she dates men younger than her that are usually obsessed with her than an equal relationship with someone her own age.
Yet the contraction is someone older, laid back and more mature like Lorenzo would actually be a good match for her. I know he was trying to cheer her up by jokingly suggesting they got together but I think he might have some admiration for the fact she seemed to like Kav so much.
Priya is great isn’t she but on the after show they were calling her a victim . I don’t think she is she is just someone who is actually genuine and honest in a vipers nest !

It doesn’t matter if it was harmless flirting on the inside: to both Kav and Lorenzo’s couple partner Yas, it looked far worse and they were rightly upset, only to be told their feelings weren’t relevant. Jas in particular went in hard on gaslighting Kav for daring to voice his upset. You’ve actually just proved the whole point about gaslighting, telling people think it’s not serious!

I think this is spot on. Even her family say that Kav isn’t her type at all and that Jordan is.

Agree! And people saying Jas was “screaming” or “aggressive” is so OTT

Is it only me that thinks Jasmine is acting her socks off?
No doubt at the direction of the producers of this fabricated shit show.
Beyond me that anyone believes this nonsense.

I don't understand why so many people are defending Jas. Every time Kav told her he was hurt or uncomfortable, she dismissed him. When he was upset about Lorenzo, it was "we're just friends" and she wasn't changing anything. When he said he needed to take a step back before Casa Amor because he was feeling worn down by the situation, she turned it back on him and told him she wouldn't continue if he wanted a step back, instead of asking why he felt that way. When he was upset about the spitting in the mouth challenge, she told him he was overreacting rather than acknowledging his feelings.

Then in Casa she wanted to get to know Jordan and even encouraged Priya to bring him back so she could explore that without having to recouple herself. Yet Kav is the villain for bringing Charlene back after he'd already said he wanted to step back from Jas.

Whether people call it gaslighting or emotional invalidation, the pattern is the same: his feelings were repeatedly minimised, hers were treated as the only ones that mattered, and there was a glaring double standard throughout.

I agree, her lack of accountability is a massive issue. She is taking the ‘strong woman’ thing too far by not apologising at all, despite the fact she said to the girls that she was sorry, when in the moment she never actually said sorry. I think ‘gaslighting’ is a strong term, it’s an abusive term in my mind and I think that’s too much in this situation. I dislike Kav’s behaviour too, he’s clearly a player, and I think when people go on about him cowering or being scared of her or whatever, that’s absolutely ridiculous, but he clearly isn’t happy with Jas so I don’t get why is he chasing this.

Jas needs to own up to her actions openly, listen and apologise for her part, with Kav and with Priya.
To be honest, Kav and Jas need to walk away from each other and if they get back together I would prefer to see them leave. It’s not a good representation of a healthy relationship and certainly shouldn’t be celebrated, same for Angie and Simba when they (inevitably) get back together.
