Love Island UK 🏝 - Season 13 Thread 4

[Chocolattecoffeecup]

We've nearly filled up thread 3 and don't think there was a thread 4?!

They all cheered when Mica was twerking up against Aidan.

And Samraj wasn't impressed... Kav said (tongue in cheek, I think, as he was laughing immediately after), "If I saw that, I'd be fuming. And Samraj replied, "My own girl cooked me in front of the boys. Imagine if the boys weren't there, and it was just some random guy in a club." 😳😳

I don't see any chemistry between Priya and Aidan either. It's almost like a painting by numbers - they're using all the elements and ingredients, but there is nothing emotional there to tie it all together. I get the feeling that they both wish it was real and are trying to force something based on their close friendship.

And, my God, I hate the way she kisses. Again, it's like she's read instructions, but has zero connection or oomph behind it.

It was an odd episode. I thought Elisia came across very bitter. Surely they all want to be in the final now, I don’t think Priya and Aiden are the only ones.

Yeah, as someone who was a strong woman who had them wrapped around her finger, she spent all night whining about Aidan of all people 🤨

I’m still laughing about the episode where Simba and Angie are setting boundaries with the challenges including kissing and he says “tongue”, she says “NO TONGUE” and he responds with a “little bit of tongue”.

In stitches!

If anyone’s on Instagram and also found Finley’s giggle intensely cringe - have a search for the account ‘itscrispin’ and watch his latest reel 🤣

First look isn’t even worth watching!

all sat waiting to see who gets kicked out that’s it. Zero, nada!

Ha, I won't bother then! Given the vote was prior to Martha and Jordan friend zoning, I'm going for bottom 3 boys as Fin, Jordan and Ethan, and girls as Martha, Elicia and Julia. As the public are fickle bastards re Julia. I still like her.

Should be Fin, Aidan and Simba as I don't buy whatever he's selling, and Elicia, Priya and Martha as she doesn't seem to want to be there.

Favourites, hard to call. Might be Yas,Ellie, Lorenzo....

I also think Kav was the worst in casa, unforgivable to me!

They were on a break!

But yes, he treated Charleen very badly.

I just loathe Aidan, and think Kav could be better if he wasn't under his elder brother's influence.

I don’t get this “redemption arc” I say they are showing who they are and they’ll do it again!

Not Sean & Lola fans but I hope they stick it out. If anyone else is old enough to remember Grace & Mikey from Big Brother, they could be like them, married with kids, even though no one thought it would last. I’ve also got a soft spot for Will & Jessie, they were totally fucked over by the production!

Sadly my favourite girl of the whole series is gone, I just loved Mara. Self respect, wit and grace in spades. I hope she does well.

Julia and Martha were egging Elisia on about Aidan and the three hosts of The Debrief were on about Elisia, Julia and Martha on the hate train.

I think there is a reason Martha, Julia & Elicia against them and that is that they are sticking together as they’ve been treated badly by the OG’s, I’d say Mica, Priya & Jasmine. It’s not being shown as it looks racist to call them out.
I don’t think it’s about race at all btw and don’t include Angelista in that as you can tell she’s nice to everyone or Ellie or Yasmin who are lovely down to earth girls. I think it’s just the perceived superiority of being OG’s and being hot girls that they have that arrogance.

Sonetimes it looks odd how they are sat and you can tell they’ve been put together by production to make it look all happy families but I get a feeling it’s more like the Toni/Yas/Shakira vs Meg/Helena vibe in there but it’s not being shown.

That’s my 2p anyway!

Angie does seem nice to everyone. But yes, there's an OG v casa girl divide in the way I don't feel there is quite as much with the boys.

I think they will offer her a spot another time, all stars or something. She was fantastic.

Jas and Mara were super close even though they only had a short time together, we saw them say love you to each other multiple times. Jas and Julia have also been seen together in The background a fair bit and Mica and Jas were very vocally supportive of Julia. I don’t think there is a mean girl thing going on, there might be a bit of casa girls
and og girls being closer, but I don’t think it’s more than that.

100%

mannerism, attitude , calmness, clear message, presence, strength, self respect … I can go on and on

absolute gorgeousness!

Agree with all of this!

Yes omg do it! Its shite but hopefully the thread will get us along. Not quite the same as the mafs threads but much like this one ❤️

my friend just sent me this! Yay for us!

Same. Really hope she's on All Stars

I can see why Elicia is annoyed. Priya and Aiden have had weeks to get to know one another. Just a week or so to go and they think they're a sure bet to the final. Priya even said to him in the hideaway 'I love that we've both been here since the beginning'.

Im not a Priya fan though so maybe im bias.

I agree. I don't buy romance for a second with those two, but they are good friends and have seen a way to the end with a narrative arc so are enacting it.

And to be fair, it's a good one, 'look, we were friends, and fell in love slowly as people, not just on looks'. Utter horseshit mind.
