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

I hate the way Priya shortens all the lads names. I know people who do it in real life to make them appear closer with lads than they actually are! Aids.. eith.. it's not like they roll off the tongue easily. Cringe!

In some parts/cultures in Scotland, it's really not that uncommon!

I live in Scotland..in various areas ive settled ...can assure you it's not common here at all

Can we talk about the weird kissing?!! Is this the way you do people kiss these days - they seem to just thrust their full tongues in the other mouth. It all looks very uncomfortable!!

IHadaMarvelousTimeRuiningEverything · 14/07/2026 21:03

Oh no, looks like Priya is going to have a pop at Julia tonight

HammyHocky · 14/07/2026 21:11

Ellie is running right back to Finlay like nothing ever happened.

She will be kissing him in bed tomorrow. I think some of them cook this stuff up and think it makes for a good redemption arc. But it makes them look ridiculous. In real
life, you wouldn’t fucking stand for it, you’d walk away.

Absolutely no idea. But it reminds me of teenage kisses.

Coco852 · 14/07/2026 21:14

It’s so funny how Ellie is so shouty when Fin is not around and so quiet when she’s with him.

honeyrider · 14/07/2026 21:15

It looks so staged, a different couple will have drama, it gets sorted then on to the next couple for the next drama instalment, repeat with another couple etc then in the final weeks they're all making vomit inducing declarations of love.

honeyrider · 14/07/2026 21:16

Ellie's playing to the camera.

Edited

I'm Scottish and have lived in different places in the country, I can you assure you that in some areas/cultures it is! Obviously not in the majority though 😅

For sure!

Yes its rubbish viewing.

Aquarius1234 · 14/07/2026 21:20

Jasmine and Mica couldn't be less interested.

letsgotothebeach · 14/07/2026 21:22

The whole Ellie/ Finlay saga feels very manufactured. Brings home once again how much the programme is, and unfortunately I think my time has almost come with this season as I really don’t like it when they’ve all “fallen in love” and there is no drama. We all watch it for the drama right?! Tonight’s only drama will be who Priya chooses and I’m not sure that’s worth waiting up for! Producers will let Ellie go first so her and Fin can do their full circle of test and then declare their love for each other next week.

Fandangoes · 14/07/2026 21:23

Elicia is just pissed off he didn’t pick her. She is raging, she really thought she could have who ever she wanted

Fandangoes · 14/07/2026 21:24

OMG the brass neck to just immediately pull Aiden!!

HammyHocky · 14/07/2026 21:25

Do you know bothers me? This programme tells young men - Don’t worry, you can cheat and then go back, say you didn’t really mean but you had to test things for yourself, but you’re sorry and you love your original partner and all will be fine.
Kav, Samraj, Finlay and Simba have all played this same script and all have ended up where they wanted to be. It’s embarrassing for women. None of these women (except for Mara) have stood up and said ‘Actually, bugger odd’. Instead they’ve all cried and shouted and caved in, including the bombshells and Casa girls. Neveah and Charleen were devastated after a day or two, Elicia has cried over Finlay and Aiden and it’s been less than a week. I know we cry due to embarrassment and anger, but I wish more women would just say ‘do one’.

If this is scripted by Love Island then it’s a fucking travesty towards women.

Fair enough. Don't like her, but she seems like a real person at least.

Aquarius1234 · 14/07/2026 21:27

Another re coupling as they have keep showing fake stuff.

TellingBone · 14/07/2026 21:27

No I actually believe Elicia was sent in purely as an agent of chaos. She's served her purpose now so it'll be tata Elicia soon.

Fandangoes · 14/07/2026 21:29

I agree I think she was told to go in and stir up trouble but she has got tickets on herself. Even talking to Aiden there all that ‘Omg stop looking at my boobs’ it’s like she’s constantly telling people they fancy her, it’s actually quite funny!

TellingBone · 14/07/2026 21:31

She's going to have the piss ripped out of her when she gets back that's for sure 😂

Ha at least she was half normal then. Lol

You have to just assume its fake then and never entertainin this type of rubbish in real life.

Cheating on TV and films is shown all the time for centuries.

Fandangoes · 14/07/2026 21:39

This is all so pointless they are all just staying in their couples. The only interesting bit will be if Priya, Ellie or Elicia goes first!
