I know I shouldn't watch this but I probably will. Can't beleive Kelly Brook is going to be one of the presenters - I thought she was all Hollywood now. And I thought Jayne Middlemiss was way too cool to be involved in something like this too.

I know what you mean but Paul is seriously twisted!

JoolsToo · 07/06/2005 23:20

well she got one thing right - he thinks with his - erm - app-en-darge!

Tommy · 07/06/2005 23:22

I think Bella is basically jealous but at least she now realises what a twerp Paul is and is probably cross with herself for fancying him in ther first place!

Earlybird · 08/06/2005 10:48

JoolsToo - do you really think Isabella led Paul on?

She was clear with him at the beginning when he was pawing her that it wasn't going to happen. Then as they gradually got to know each other over the next few weeks, she started to see an appealing (?!) side to him that she could respond to. He seemed a bit more "real" with her, instead of a horny boy. Then the horny boy side took over again when Nikki arrived, and he ran off like a dog on heat. I agree Isabella wallows a bit in self pity, but can't see that she's led him on. In fact, I feel bad for her. She's let herself start to like Paul, and he ditches her when Nikki and her giant set of fake boobs arrived. Shallow, superficial and fickle!

Also thought Paul fights dirty, with some pretty insulting comments. What was all that "you have such an irritating voice?" It's clear he doesn't know how to develop a relationship if it doesn't first start with a cuddle, grope or shag. And he doesn't appear to think that a relationship without those elements first and foremost is worth having!

And Rebecca/Calum are cooling down. He appears to be going off her...which was confirmed by Paul's negative comments in the beach hut. And what was she on about when she started talking about finding Fran attractive? Is she preparing to move on as she senses Calum drifting away?

Think we're seeing a bit more of the real Lee now. He's been almost too mellow, laid back, and guarded, but now is actually rousing himself to give some opinions and do something. The calling to Abi, and mad dash back to the main resort was pretty funny.

IMO, Nikki is turning out to be a dud...with an amazing figure.

Gobbledigook · 08/06/2005 10:53

Earlybird - I agree with every word of your post

Paul is very immature - I mean, who argues with things like 'you have a very irritating voice' and 'you get a life', 'no you get a life'...so sad!!

Earlybird · 08/06/2005 11:16

Gobbledigook - not often that someone agrees with everything I say! How exciting!

Do you think Abi will get voted into the love shack to replace Nikki? If so, I feel sure we're in for more truly awful chat-up lines from Paul...

Tommy · 08/06/2005 12:44

I agree with you too Earlybird! (again)
I think the whole thing's like watching a teenagers' party - with Paul being particularly pathetic. Don't know whether I want Abi to go in the shack with Lee to find out whether she will throw herself at him big time and to see his reaction or to let him suffer a bit longer with the woman who doesn't speak!
I agree - we will get more corny chat up lines from Paul if Nikki comes out - she could use him as her replacement puppy

turquoise · 08/06/2005 13:18

I agree with Willow2 that Nikki is probably jetlagged, but when the jetlag wears off I think she's still going to be vacant and shallow, just more awake!
I think it's encouraging that the other boys at least have been turned off by her self-absorbtion and lack of personality, and says it all that that utter dweeb Paul wants to marry her . He is just like some shag/drink/puke lager lout at Torremolinos, and lord I loved it when he was trying to make his 'career' sound good.
Also particularly enjoyed Callum going off Rebecca because she farted.

Earlybird · 08/06/2005 13:40

I must say that the celebrity "mystique" is certainly fading rapidly from this lot - what with all the farting, groping, fighting, pouting, boring/self-absorbed/insecure behaviour, etc. And I have to say they seem a particularly untalented, unstimulating group! (So, why am I watching it avidly every night?? Maybe because with celebrities you assume they're prettier, more clever, more talented than the rest of us, and thus somehow have earned their place in the public eye).

It is completely possible that they have stimulating and intelligent conversation about the life and the world that is just edited out of what we see. I'm also amazed that we don't hear any conversation about where they grew up, their families/friends/careers (with the exception of Rebecca's night with Mr. Beckham) - isn't that the sort of information you exchange when you get to know someone new? Again - maybe all that is edited out....or maybe they really do just lie in the sun all day saying not much.

I think Nikki's endless capacity for sleep and vapid conversation will probably work hugely in Abi's favour. After Nikki, Abi will appear to Lee to be the most interesting, vital and fun person on the island.

JoolsToo · 08/06/2005 14:17

earlybird - you may be very right as I haven't watched all of it!

Isabella just comes across to me as very spoilt!

Paul is just a t*sspot!

The only ones that strike as reasonable are Jayne, Lee and the boring one from Atomic Kitten - and Lee likes Abi so I have my doubts about him!

diane77 · 08/06/2005 21:22

I thought they were to introduce some surfer bloke that Abby had given her number to, that would be classic as it would soon be Lee who?, its so obvious abi is just playing along because lee is paying her some attention. I put her blinking problem down to the fact she is constantly not telling the truth she cant make eye to eye contact.

robin3 · 09/06/2005 09:18

Is Calumn really trying the 'trying to get rid of my girlfriend by making her dislike me' trick????

Heard about this tactic from men but never seen a bloke actually try to pull it off! Poor old Jayne doesn't seem to realise that she's being used.

How long does this seried go on for? Will they keep them there forever?

Tommy · 09/06/2005 09:27

I have a theory about the Abi/surfer bloke thing. I think they want Abi and Lee to really hit it off in the love shack, THEN they'll bring in the surfer bloke - to see if she'll still like Lee or prefer Mr Surfer

compo · 09/06/2005 09:30

I think Jayne knows exactly what's going on. I hope Jayne and Lee win the show as they seem to be the coolest people of there. I think it was disgusting the ay Paul talked to Isabella - telling her she was frigid ffs! Can't beleive Calum has gone off Rebecca just because she farted

OP posts:
turquoise · 09/06/2005 09:36

How do they win? Just by being the last ones in? Or do they actually have to appear to be a couple?
I'm sure you're right about the surfer Tommy.

compo · 09/06/2005 09:39

I thought it would just be the 2 who are still in there at the end. I guess if they have to be a couple Lee and Abi will probably win. Is Liz still in it or has she been voted out? Didn't see her last night.

OP posts:
turquoise · 09/06/2005 09:42

Liz is still in but I bet she'll be the next one out. I hope Paul doesn't get kept in till last for entertainment value then! What a dickhead.

Earlybird · 09/06/2005 10:44

Can't remember if it was the show, after show or live feed....but last night they were all moaning about wishing they had some dvds to watch as it was raining and they couldn't sunbathe or do anything else outside. There was a bit of conversation about what movies they'd want to watch. Someone said "Dirty Dancing", "Finding Nemo" and "The Exorcist". Poor gullible/dimbulb Nikki said "Oh Paul, we should see one of your films!" So, I guess she's fallen for his exaggerations!

Also found it interesting when one particular aspect of the Love Shack story came to light. Lee made such a big thing of Nikki going to bed early one night, when in fact, she said that Lee had slept most of the day while she was awake! So, think he unfairly portrayed her there. Though he does get serious points for agreeing to go shopping on their day out instead of pushing for the scuba diving which he clearly wanted to do more.

We'll have to see what Lee/Abi get up to in the Love Shack. He's not exactly Mr. Sparkling Conversation, and as it's raining there won't be much else to do besides, talk/eat/bathe/cuddle/sleep. Those two might bore each other to tears without the distraction/input of the others!

Calum is doing my head in. I think Rebecca's handling the cold shoulder extremely well. I'd be really confused/upset if I was her. He is flirting madly with Jane, but so far she seems to be wise to his tricks and is laughing it off. Saw her giving Fran a massage - perhaps as a way of letting Calum know she's not interested?

Glad Paul got around to a heartfelt apology to Isabella last night, but he is a real Jekyl/Hyde character.

Like I've said before, between Mumsnet and Celebrity Love Island, I've got to get a life! But, thank god for both as I've been so ill with flu/cough/laryngitis for the past 2 weeks that this gives me something else to focus on rather than my own aches and pains!

Gobbledigook · 09/06/2005 23:27

OMG - P*ssing my pants again at tonights episode! This programme is priceless!

Earlybird · 09/06/2005 23:37

What in particular made you laugh?

Who do you think will be evicted tomorrow night?

Gobbledigook · 09/06/2005 23:37

The whole thing with Paul going after Nikki and in particular, Jayne was hilarious! Jayne was funny-hilarious and Paul was funny-sad git!! Dear me - he's shallow!

Gobbledigook · 09/06/2005 23:38

And 2min 58secs!? Couldn't do much in that time surely!

Earlybird · 09/06/2005 23:40

I think Nikki must be a nymphomaniac to mess around with Paul so soon - she doesn't know a thing about him! What do you think happened in the bathroom? BJ?

Unfortunately, I think Liz will go tomorrow night. She hasn't been visible enough for people to really want her to stay, IMO.

Gobbledigook · 09/06/2005 23:44

Well I thought they must have done the deed so to speak but dh said oral sex. I argued that oral sex would take longer than that and if Paul was all fired up he would be ready to shoot almost straight away if he actually 'did it'!! Although, she could have given him a BJ but then what was in it for her?!

OMG hope Jools doesn't look on here!

Gobbledigook · 09/06/2005 23:44

Think you are right - Liz might go. Or even Fran - he's boring too.
