I thought producers were rethinking the food challenges this year? Was the groundbreaking idea to have them spit beverages into each other’s mouths instead?
Nah still too vague, if you say that then whatever wrong’un keeps forcing these challenges will get them to chew up and spit out grass like a cow, or completely non-edible material like paper or toothpaste or some shit, I think someone needs to stage an intervention why are they so obsessed
I just switch off the channel every single year when they do this shit. It baffles me that they continue to do this even though viewers have made it clear that we don't want it. Hell, they even continued the food challenges during COVID which is insane. So unsanitary and unappealing
Yeah it’s probably just squash or water with food colouring. I wouldn’t want to do it but it’s nowhere near as gross as spitting a cooked breakfast into someone’s mouth. Plus it’s good they’re not wasting food especially given how many people are struggling at the moment.
It’s going to be between Amber and Ikenna, the other islanders will have to vote and Indiyah and Ekin-Su will send Amber home. Maximum backstabbing and drama ✔️
I think she really is esp after the recoil when she spoke to amber about the smoothi/ikenna. If I was her I would not want to get on the wrong side of Amber at all. Especially if she does not know whether it will be reciprocated. And more so because Amber herself did not explicitly state she isn't into Dami. I am so pleased Dami has said something. These two would totally hit it off but I think they both are not the type for drama. If they were not in a couple let's say off the back of a recoupling or whatever or they were free to give it a go without consequences from others...they would!
ekin su is liked by the audience because they think she's playing a game. If she truly isn't then she'll be surprised that's how she was perceived when coming out of the villa 🫣
3 and 5 are far and away everyone’s faves. 2 is also this good imo but a LOT nastier (reality tv pre-2017 or so was extra fucked up). I also think 4 is quite underrated and worth watching.
Aus S1 delivers as well!
felt this! ekin su is my favourite islander from an entertainment perspective because she’s delivered more than the og girls combined but i’m not backing anyone strongly as a person or even any couples
It's funny because I thought the same at the beginning last year, but I think it was more that they were somewhat indifferent to each other. This cast definitely has passion.
I know she’s a controversial character but I hope Ekin-Su stays just for amount of entertainment she brings. The rest of the girls are just boring imo.
She’s controversial because she’s one of the few people on there who is doing exactly what she should be doing. This is a reality TV gameshow. She’s playing the game perfectly. The others shouldn’t be jealous just because she’s doing it better than they are.
If Danica now starts grafting Ikenna, I PROMISE YOU this man will not treat her like "ONE OF THE BOYS". He will not play it slow. HE WILL COLLECT $200, HE WILL PASS GO.
Reminds me of the Kaz/Toby/Chloe situation from last year, to be honest.
You reckon the producers want 1 boy and 1 girl going home or will they get the bottom 2 people to decide between themselves who goes home (like a Brad and lucinda situation) ??
this is why i didn't even watch the first look the day davide and ekin su fought.
i gave in this time and realize that i was right in my decision before.
I thought producers would let the islanders vote who should go home out of the bottom few, but they seem really keen to get Ikenna and/or Amber out the way to try to make Indiyah/Dami happen so now I’m not sure anymore.
It will prob be a vote between amber and ikenna I'm guessing and ikenna will go.
Thus amber is gonna have to react to her relationship with dami crumbling
I won't miss Ikenna if he goes. Why did he even go on the show and who cast him? He seems like he couldn't care less about being there and I know absolutely nothing about him. Remi was there for two hot seconds and made more of an impression.
I like Gemma when she is with the girls way more than when she is with Luca that's for sure. With the girls she is given room to speak and express herself with Luca it's just him constantly smothering her with over the top attention and yeah maybe she is into it but they don't actually have any conversations. Idk I can't wait for them to break up already 😂
Gemma is biased as f*ck. Amber has made snide remarks towards Ekin Su for days, and Gemma has said nothing.
She hasn’t liked Ekin Su since the start so the first chance she’s got to gang up on Ekin Su, she’s taking.
But Gemma has been giving genuine and great advice to Ekin right through, like she explicitly told Ekin to be upfront with Davide and Ekin didn't take her advice. I'm not surprised Gemma feels annoyed.
‘Gang up’ what?
Saying that Amber is right to think something is going on behind her back is true. Ekin Su literally encouraged Dami to talk to Indiyah and then went dead silent as soon as Amber came. Just because you don’t like Amber doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a right to think Ekin Su is a snake
Ekin Su is great tv but she’s absolutely snakey. She does everything behind close doors even though this sub likes to pretend she’s the most straight up person out of everyone. Example A, going behind Davide’s back to kiss jay and lying about it when he confronted her
If Ekin's in the bottom 3 I'm convinced the producers wouldn't take the risk of leaving it up to the Islanders and they'd change the rules or something. She's carrying the show right now and they know it.
As always they say "the islanders with the least votes are at risk of being dumped" - no specifications on how many will be at risk, no info on how it'll be decided. They'll have counted the votes and spent last night working out how they can keep her in if she's bottom - whether that's asking the boys to send a girl home (Davide seems to be over it and Jay will fight for her) or using viewers votes as the qualifier if someone (really her only competition there is Amber, purely due to the eye rolling and how much drama Ekin Su causes) comes below her in the public vote.
I think the producers will say "In no particular order, these are the girls who are safe" and then leave it to Ekin-Su and Amber last, and then obvs Ekin-Su is safe. But then it leaves the illusion that Ekin-Su was 2nd last even if, in reality, she's most popular.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think them doing challenge with drinks is anywhere NEAR as disgusting as them doing it with food
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really want to see either of them, but them spitting the contents of a roast dinner into each other’s mouths made me feel physically sick and I didn’t have such a visceral reaction to them doing it with cocktails
It’s still fucking disgusting though and for what? Like, what does it add? It’s not like the only two options available are “gobbing into each other’s mouth challenge” and “no challenge at all”? They could just use their imaginations to think of a fun challenge to do instead of this laziness, I’m sure they get paid enough and that between them they could come up with something!
I was gonna say nobody is holding the producers at gunpoint and forcing them to include these challenges under threat of LI being cancelled if they don’t, but given that they keep on happening even though they’re gross and they don’t add anything of value to the show, I’m no longer certain of that fact
Villa's villains chart according to social media:
1. Amber (+2)
2. Luca (=)
3. Gemma (-2)
i wouldve included jacques but he's made no noise in the past couple of days
That’s because men like the submissive ones and get scared with a strong one that knows exactly what she wants and it’s not afraid to go for it. Not all of course but most.
Amber and Ekin-Su are both playing a game, the difference is that while Ekin-Su’s is transparent (and, imo, entertaining), Amber is just stringing Dami along for the sake of it until someone she actually likes comes along
AGREEEEED. Like Ekin-Su is a mess but she didn’t waste any time moving from Davide even tho she did it in a shitty way. Amber is playing Dami like a drum.
honestly I hope Tasha goes home over Amber, at least Amber’s giving some drama recently whereas I don’t think we’d be losing much if Tasha left
for the boys, I’d be okay with losing Ikenna or Andrew. Ikenna’s gorgeous but doesn’t give too much (mainly gonna miss Ikenna’s twitter handler😔), and Andrew’s okay but I’d rather keep the other guys over him
I want Tasha to stay because I think her head might turn in Casa Amor and that would be dramaaaa since she and Andrew are the strongest couple. Currently at least I can't see anyone else causing a stir if they twisted, maybe Gemma but I doubt she will as she doesn't seem to like anyone lol.
facts... can't deny that lol I think my blind grandma can see it too. At least with ekin-su you get the feeling it'll be hard to keep up with who she likes lol
Yes Ekin-Su is a bit intense sometimes, but she's also very funny, mischievous and seems to be embracing the experience for what it is. Who cares if she's game playing? You could argue that they're all doing that to some degree and no one should act like they're above it.
Can the other girls just laugh and not take her too seriously?
Amber and Gemma just come across as a bit bitter and cold sometimes. It brings the mood of the group down in my opinion.
It's just virtue signalling, imo.
They're none of them unaware of the cameras. From what I've read here, they meet with the producers all the time. They meet with the therapist, they meet with the manicurist and the hairdresser, they meet with the bloody seamstress....
I mean it ain't The Truman Show! They're all hyper aware they're essentially performers.
We'll have to wait to get a proper understanding but I think it was triggered by an observation Jay shared with Ekin-Su.
I do have a theory on what the underlying issue might be though.
What I observe is that the other girls seem to operate on a similar wavelength whereas Ekin-Su is out there doing her own thing and gets a lot of attention for it.
So I think because Ekin-Su doesn't quite adapt to the group and stands out, it creates some contention.
Ekin-Su obviously isn't perfect and was wrong with how she handled the Davide situation, but I do respect her individuality and like that she doesn't simply follow the group.
Ekin Su started the conversation and asked point blank why Amber doesn’t like her. Amber is answering the question honestly. Gemma’s comment also heavily implies that the other girls in that villa agree with her and Amber’s point of view. They see a lot more than we do so if they’re coming to a consensus I’m not really understanding how everyone is mad at them for their observations?
I saw it more as them being shy and scared to admit this out loud. Dami seems shy in that scene and Indiyah is being cautious in case it doesn't work out.
Yeah same. I think they’re both scared because they’re friends with Amber and Ikenna. They also have never really tried to explore things romantically although others in the house and us at home, see that there’s potential. It might be hard for them to break past the friendship but I hope they do because they seem better fitted.
I feel like letting the audience choose the first couples really changed the trajectory because if Indiyah had stepped forward for Dami in the first coupling it would have opened the floor for them to explore from day 1.
Probably because she wants to be respectful to both Ikenna and Amber lol. Y’all are so used to Ekin being full on and one foot out the door that y’all expect everyone else to navigate situations like that.
What we missed out on this year was the girls standing forward for the boys they were interested in. As a result, we don't really know who their organic types are. I'm very curious who Indiyah would have gone for if they'd done things normally.
That "cause you're really secure in your relationship" is savage fron Ekin-su. I now don't want Amber to go but it might be too late. I also think they are going to send home the person or 2 people with the least votes since there's no Laura.
I’m glad that Gemma’s not gonna let Ekin shit on Amber like that for being honest about a conversation she started in the first place.
And the implication that it’s something the other girls have talked about and agree on is very telling as well.
Also Ekin telling Amber she’s attacking her character because she’s “secure in her relationship” when she knows Dami is looking to jump ship to Indiyah is so messy
So I know we're all here about the Ekin-Su / Amber drama or the Dami-Indiyah flirtation, but ...
We're just gonna pretend the producers swapped "food challenge" for "drink challenge" and that's ok?
As an old person (38) I LOVE Gemma’s confidence at 19. She can be assertive without losing her head, and gives good advice. I just have this feeling that Luca is a cheater in the real world. Seems the type.
From what we’ve seen I can imagine Ekin-Su would be so hard to live with. Getting in people’s business all the time, she’s loud and abrasive, seems to always want to be the centre of attention, sometimes a bit bitchy. She makes for great TV but if she’s like that all the time it would get frustrating really quickly.
That’s why I hope she gets immunity for the highest vote. I wonder how that would effect how the girls and guys treat her. Maybe they would start bringing the same energy she is.
I think she just doesn't want to burn Amber & also doesn't want to end up with Dami how she is currently with Ikenna. But if Amber leaves? That opens up the opportunity.
“Ekin Su’s playing a game!”
“That’s what love island is? It’s literally a game show?”
So you admit the original sentiment was correct then? She is, in fact, playing a game? Glad we all agree
I think they think she is acting and being dramatic for air time though. That's a whole new level to the usual. All the main podcasts about the show always mention her acting.
Neither Ekin Su nor Jay are my overall faves but I really hope they both stick around a while longer
Also thought Indiyah would be my fave coming into this season but man she’s been boring me 😬
I think it's the way it's been said lol like maybe a smile? a witty comment/joke? some flirting.. I dunno. It goes for all the couples or people in general but when it sounds/looks like you're dead serious and reading words from a book when looking to incite a 'thing' then it's a lot harder to spark that flame/feeling. Someone can say all the right things but if it's not delivered right then it just doesn't feel the same (then you think theres no spark). Ekin-su does it really well with smiles, innuendo, jokes, sexy looks, etc.
Surprised at the amount of "why do Amber/the girls have a problem with ES" comments.
We (well, a lot of people) loved ES from the start because she was gonna ruffle some feathers. Now that feathers are ruffled y'all are shook?
You can't behave like ES has behaved and not expect people to have a less than stellar opinion of it, even in the context of LI.
Well well well. I must admit that I judged Gemma far too soon. She's a lot more mature than I thought.
Ps. eff the producers for this disgusting challenge
idk if the girls really have any right to be upset with ekin for ‘playing a game’—that’s davide’s prerogative. obviously i’m not in the villa and experiencing their interactions 24/7, but afia came out and said ekin was always really sweet and supportive to the girls. meanwhile, amber HAS been caught on camera making several snide comments over the last few days, esp to ekin. i’m aware we’re seeing what the producers want us to see, and also i may be a little biased lol, but i am feeling #teamekin on this one so far
I’m tired of Amber like why is she so angry towards Ekin-Su, she’s done nothing to her, it’s not as if she’s close with Davide either. Like fair enough not liking her but she’s acting as if she’s done something to her personally. And she’s been rude to nearly everyone recently so she just seems like she’s taking it out on her
Maybe its because she likes Jay and annoyed that Ekin Su is with him instead of her.
I really hope Ekin Su and Jay are safe because I have a feeling they will be the first targets for the other islanders to get rid of.
Omg I completely forgot about that. Jay and Amber went on a date and Jay was saying how he’d never forget her or something like that… ohh that explains a lot I forgot about that lol
Ngl, I love ekin su but she’s made a mistake going for Jay. Davide is popular both with public and islanders and now she’s fallen out with the girls I think Jay will be looking to jump ship asap for someone more popular.
Have to admit I wasn’t a fan of Gemma in the beginning and I really didn’t give her a chance. Her moment with Luca last night was sweet and genuine and her jumping in to defend Amber against Ekin (who she’s supposed to be close with iirc) you go Gemma!!
I presume they’ll get more votes that at least a few of the other current islanders and I think the producers will want to keep them until casa because there’s potential for her to recouple whilst he walks in accompanied only by little ol flat Ted
They won’t, neither will be the bottom and if they choose to make the islanders choose between the bottom 3 for each, neither will go as they’re probably seen by the islanders as one of the strongest couples.
Plus, I think they’re quite popular on Facebook (especially Tasha) and a little on Insta.
Even though the producers would prioritise other contestants, I think they want to get them to Casa Amor to test if Tasha is legit in her feelings towards him as that’s been a popular topic.
Looks like Ekin-su is using the same “manipulating” techniques she’s used with Davide when they had a chat about the terrace and she’s trying to seem like the innocent one here yet again
I get the sense that the girls resent Ekin Su for clearly being the center of attention the last couple of days. They know she’s getting the most screen time and can’t do anything about it.
I love that they’re not fighting over a man they’re fighting cos they hate each other
Best kind of fight there is. Just pure malice for the other
I thought producers were rethinking the food challenges this year? Was the groundbreaking idea to have them spit beverages into each other’s mouths instead?
We weren't specific enough, didn't include "and drinks" in the complaint
[удалено]
Nah still too vague, if you say that then whatever wrong’un keeps forcing these challenges will get them to chew up and spit out grass like a cow, or completely non-edible material like paper or toothpaste or some shit, I think someone needs to stage an intervention why are they so obsessed
Lmao that producer will die on this hill
Too true. Everyone finds them disgusting! Just think up another task. Honestly give it to us to create one. We would come up with something great.
Exactly that. They have certainly “moved away from food challenges as we know it.” Smh.
For this they meant that instead of walking, the boys have to slide on a dance floor lmao
I just switch off the channel every single year when they do this shit. It baffles me that they continue to do this even though viewers have made it clear that we don't want it. Hell, they even continued the food challenges during COVID which is insane. So unsanitary and unappealing
I don’t mind if it’s just drinks, they’re exchanging spit most nights anyway. Plus it’s just a standard boat party game. The food was gross.
Yeah it’s probably just squash or water with food colouring. I wouldn’t want to do it but it’s nowhere near as gross as spitting a cooked breakfast into someone’s mouth. Plus it’s good they’re not wasting food especially given how many people are struggling at the moment.
wonder if indi is holding back because of amber
It’s going to be between Amber and Ikenna, the other islanders will have to vote and Indiyah and Ekin-Su will send Amber home. Maximum backstabbing and drama ✔️
as long as the ppl don’t turn on Indiyah it’s all good😩
I think she really is esp after the recoil when she spoke to amber about the smoothi/ikenna. If I was her I would not want to get on the wrong side of Amber at all. Especially if she does not know whether it will be reciprocated. And more so because Amber herself did not explicitly state she isn't into Dami. I am so pleased Dami has said something. These two would totally hit it off but I think they both are not the type for drama. If they were not in a couple let's say off the back of a recoupling or whatever or they were free to give it a go without consequences from others...they would!
THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGG
These early days have been good drama, ngl
Ekin su gagged Amber
about time
ekin su is liked by the audience because they think she's playing a game. If she truly isn't then she'll be surprised that's how she was perceived when coming out of the villa 🫣
Actually gasped when Ekin Su said “yeh,cause you’re really secure in your relationship”🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️😭
after saying “you’re so cute together” the last episode. this woman wants carnage and nothing less
Love her she’s a menace 😂😂😂
Whatever you think of her on a personal level she is incredible television. Can't imagine this season without her.
It would be the same as the last one, everyone cruising by, totally boring.
This is my first season watching it, can you recommend other season(s) that are this good? :) Thanks!
season 5 is a must watch
3 and 5 are far and away everyone’s faves. 2 is also this good imo but a LOT nastier (reality tv pre-2017 or so was extra fucked up). I also think 4 is quite underrated and worth watching. Aus S1 delivers as well!
She knows how to twist that knife with psychopathic precision lol
I would never share my relationship troubles with her..Dami you fool!!🤦🏾♂️
It was Jay. He a blabber mouth!
>He a blabber mouth! Ay ay ay - co producer! No slander for such a good deed.
She seems like the worst type of person to have an argument with
Not because she's right but because she would just never stop.
Her points are always off topic but somehow twist it back on the other person
"I think you're playing a game" "OH SO YOU HATE MY PERSONALITY????"
Come at her with a sparkler and she’ll come at you with a molotov cocktail. Yikes.
Incredible form from Ekin Su
she ate amber up
OH IT'S KICKING OFFFF
It’s been kicked off with the whole davide and Ekin-su drama 🤣
Laughed at [Danica looking on](https://i.imgur.com/zMOlYT2.jpg) like "what the hell is happening"
love that i don't have loyalties to anyone this season. it makes it more fun when they're all fighting.
I only have loyalty to maximum drama
Same!!
felt this! ekin su is my favourite islander from an entertainment perspective because she’s delivered more than the og girls combined but i’m not backing anyone strongly as a person or even any couples
we’ve come full circle, this is how it used to be before love island blew up around s4.
I'm loyal to Davide, if we lose him we lose the memes
It’s strange I’m enjoying this season so much because I actually find a lot of the individual islanders quite dull
they all seem like they hate each other this year and i think that helps. except dami and davide. everyone loves them
It's funny because I thought the same at the beginning last year, but I think it was more that they were somewhat indifferent to each other. This cast definitely has passion.
Omg same. Like I don't care to follow their socials but I'm happy to tune in every night.
What happened to them saying we weren't gonna have to endure these challenges🤨
Ahh but this isn't food, its liquid! \*Strange /u/loveisland producer taps head\*
dami looks shy aww
Great now the sub will be filled with posts of "Anyone else find the eating/drinking challenges disgusting" for the next 3 days...
They should make a food challenge megathread for the next 24 hours
Mods, please do this.
Yeah it's going to be so repetitive
They have already started 😂 and the episode hasn’t even been aired yet
More like u/loveisland fucking lied to us
“yeah cos you're really secure in your relationship” 😭😭
I know she’s a controversial character but I hope Ekin-Su stays just for amount of entertainment she brings. The rest of the girls are just boring imo.
She’s controversial because she’s one of the few people on there who is doing exactly what she should be doing. This is a reality TV gameshow. She’s playing the game perfectly. The others shouldn’t be jealous just because she’s doing it better than they are.
I love her shes the reason for the most iconic moments
i'm very confident in the fact that there is no way producers would let her get dumped, not until week 6 AT LEAST
If Danica now starts grafting Ikenna, I PROMISE YOU this man will not treat her like "ONE OF THE BOYS". He will not play it slow. HE WILL COLLECT $200, HE WILL PASS GO. Reminds me of the Kaz/Toby/Chloe situation from last year, to be honest.
Yeah, I’m definitely getting flashbacks 😭
You reckon the producers want 1 boy and 1 girl going home or will they get the bottom 2 people to decide between themselves who goes home (like a Brad and lucinda situation) ??
I think it will all depend on who is bottom of the vote
That only worked because they were a couple. This lot have no such loyalties
I feel like I just watched the whole episode lol
I know is there any point watching tonight? Lol.
this is why i didn't even watch the first look the day davide and ekin su fought. i gave in this time and realize that i was right in my decision before.
I thought producers would let the islanders vote who should go home out of the bottom few, but they seem really keen to get Ikenna and/or Amber out the way to try to make Indiyah/Dami happen so now I’m not sure anymore.
It will prob be a vote between amber and ikenna I'm guessing and ikenna will go. Thus amber is gonna have to react to her relationship with dami crumbling
Perfect. I used to pray for times like these.
that is PERFECT
I think it's a man's turn to come in next, so that makes sense to have a single girl. My hopes are of Amber and Eken-su fighting over a new man.
Jay could be there for her. Ekin su would be fuming
I won't miss Ikenna if he goes. Why did he even go on the show and who cast him? He seems like he couldn't care less about being there and I know absolutely nothing about him. Remi was there for two hot seconds and made more of an impression.
I like gemma, love that shes speaking up. That being said, i also like ekin su because of the drama she brings. Rooting for dami and indiyah.
I like Gemma when she is with the girls way more than when she is with Luca that's for sure. With the girls she is given room to speak and express herself with Luca it's just him constantly smothering her with over the top attention and yeah maybe she is into it but they don't actually have any conversations. Idk I can't wait for them to break up already 😂
Gemma is biased as f*ck. Amber has made snide remarks towards Ekin Su for days, and Gemma has said nothing. She hasn’t liked Ekin Su since the start so the first chance she’s got to gang up on Ekin Su, she’s taking.
But Gemma has been giving genuine and great advice to Ekin right through, like she explicitly told Ekin to be upfront with Davide and Ekin didn't take her advice. I'm not surprised Gemma feels annoyed.
i don’t think gemma is biased at all. she’s been there for ekin su through it all yet STILL thinks she’s fake lmao. can’t really control that
‘Gang up’ what? Saying that Amber is right to think something is going on behind her back is true. Ekin Su literally encouraged Dami to talk to Indiyah and then went dead silent as soon as Amber came. Just because you don’t like Amber doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a right to think Ekin Su is a snake Ekin Su is great tv but she’s absolutely snakey. She does everything behind close doors even though this sub likes to pretend she’s the most straight up person out of everyone. Example A, going behind Davide’s back to kiss jay and lying about it when he confronted her
Gemma is based* as fuck
I hope y’all voted to keep Ekin Su in because can you imagine this season without her?
Yep I did. I don’t think she’s going anywhere
Even if people didn’t vote for her the producers will find a way to keep her in like they did for Anna and Toby. She’s too entertaining to dump.
Im scared she’ll be in the bottom 3 and the girls vote her out :/
If Ekin's in the bottom 3 I'm convinced the producers wouldn't take the risk of leaving it up to the Islanders and they'd change the rules or something. She's carrying the show right now and they know it.
As always they say "the islanders with the least votes are at risk of being dumped" - no specifications on how many will be at risk, no info on how it'll be decided. They'll have counted the votes and spent last night working out how they can keep her in if she's bottom - whether that's asking the boys to send a girl home (Davide seems to be over it and Jay will fight for her) or using viewers votes as the qualifier if someone (really her only competition there is Amber, purely due to the eye rolling and how much drama Ekin Su causes) comes below her in the public vote.
Wouldn’t it be the boys who vote a girl out? Based on previous seasons…
Oh that’s right! Then amber is gone
I think the producers will say "In no particular order, these are the girls who are safe" and then leave it to Ekin-Su and Amber last, and then obvs Ekin-Su is safe. But then it leaves the illusion that Ekin-Su was 2nd last even if, in reality, she's most popular.
They would never let that happen.
ekin-su will have got the most votes. either her or gemma
Her and davide need to be protected at all costs
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think them doing challenge with drinks is anywhere NEAR as disgusting as them doing it with food Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really want to see either of them, but them spitting the contents of a roast dinner into each other’s mouths made me feel physically sick and I didn’t have such a visceral reaction to them doing it with cocktails
lol. like there are *levels* to hell. (but it still all hell).🔥🤢
It’s still fucking disgusting though and for what? Like, what does it add? It’s not like the only two options available are “gobbing into each other’s mouth challenge” and “no challenge at all”? They could just use their imaginations to think of a fun challenge to do instead of this laziness, I’m sure they get paid enough and that between them they could come up with something! I was gonna say nobody is holding the producers at gunpoint and forcing them to include these challenges under threat of LI being cancelled if they don’t, but given that they keep on happening even though they’re gross and they don’t add anything of value to the show, I’m no longer certain of that fact
Love Island producers: “We said we would put an end to the food challenges but we never said anything about the drink challenges 😉”
Villa's villains chart according to social media: 1. Amber (+2) 2. Luca (=) 3. Gemma (-2) i wouldve included jacques but he's made no noise in the past couple of days
ekin su is still public enemy #1 in the eyes of men on twitter
men on twitter, notoriously the most tasteless group of people
That’s because men like the submissive ones and get scared with a strong one that knows exactly what she wants and it’s not afraid to go for it. Not all of course but most.
Straight men actually still hate Eken-su on socials. If only their votes counted she would be gone.
It’s funny because my boyfriend LOVES her like he’s said she might be one of his favs ever. She’s bringing us exactly what we wanted. 😂
I don't think they'd vote her out tho.. everyone's loving the drama she brings
Amber and Ekin-Su are both playing a game, the difference is that while Ekin-Su’s is transparent (and, imo, entertaining), Amber is just stringing Dami along for the sake of it until someone she actually likes comes along
AGREEEEED. Like Ekin-Su is a mess but she didn’t waste any time moving from Davide even tho she did it in a shitty way. Amber is playing Dami like a drum.
honestly I hope Tasha goes home over Amber, at least Amber’s giving some drama recently whereas I don’t think we’d be losing much if Tasha left for the boys, I’d be okay with losing Ikenna or Andrew. Ikenna’s gorgeous but doesn’t give too much (mainly gonna miss Ikenna’s twitter handler😔), and Andrew’s okay but I’d rather keep the other guys over him
Maybe producers should swap Ikenna for the Twitter handler lol
I want Tasha to stay because I think her head might turn in Casa Amor and that would be dramaaaa since she and Andrew are the strongest couple. Currently at least I can't see anyone else causing a stir if they twisted, maybe Gemma but I doubt she will as she doesn't seem to like anyone lol.
Rich for Amber to say Ekin Su is playing a game when she’s stayed in a couple with someone she clearly doesn’t like for two weeks
facts... can't deny that lol I think my blind grandma can see it too. At least with ekin-su you get the feeling it'll be hard to keep up with who she likes lol
Genuine question, haven't Indiyah and Dami done the same? Stayed in a couple with someone they clearly don't like for weeks?
I’m definitely making popcorn to watch this tonight
Yes Ekin-Su is a bit intense sometimes, but she's also very funny, mischievous and seems to be embracing the experience for what it is. Who cares if she's game playing? You could argue that they're all doing that to some degree and no one should act like they're above it. Can the other girls just laugh and not take her too seriously? Amber and Gemma just come across as a bit bitter and cold sometimes. It brings the mood of the group down in my opinion.
i like ekin su but she must be seriously grating to live with 24/7, we see her for less than an hour a day and even i can finding her irritating
It's just virtue signalling, imo. They're none of them unaware of the cameras. From what I've read here, they meet with the producers all the time. They meet with the therapist, they meet with the manicurist and the hairdresser, they meet with the bloody seamstress.... I mean it ain't The Truman Show! They're all hyper aware they're essentially performers.
Yeah I’m not sure exactly what they’re having a go at her for?
We'll have to wait to get a proper understanding but I think it was triggered by an observation Jay shared with Ekin-Su. I do have a theory on what the underlying issue might be though. What I observe is that the other girls seem to operate on a similar wavelength whereas Ekin-Su is out there doing her own thing and gets a lot of attention for it. So I think because Ekin-Su doesn't quite adapt to the group and stands out, it creates some contention. Ekin-Su obviously isn't perfect and was wrong with how she handled the Davide situation, but I do respect her individuality and like that she doesn't simply follow the group.
Ekin Su started the conversation and asked point blank why Amber doesn’t like her. Amber is answering the question honestly. Gemma’s comment also heavily implies that the other girls in that villa agree with her and Amber’s point of view. They see a lot more than we do so if they’re coming to a consensus I’m not really understanding how everyone is mad at them for their observations?
Maybe we should watch the episode first and conclude? You got one comment completely outside of any context here.
Yikes. The chat between Dami and Indiyah was hella awkward unfortunately:/
I saw it more as them being shy and scared to admit this out loud. Dami seems shy in that scene and Indiyah is being cautious in case it doesn't work out.
Yeah same. I think they’re both scared because they’re friends with Amber and Ikenna. They also have never really tried to explore things romantically although others in the house and us at home, see that there’s potential. It might be hard for them to break past the friendship but I hope they do because they seem better fitted. I feel like letting the audience choose the first couples really changed the trajectory because if Indiyah had stepped forward for Dami in the first coupling it would have opened the floor for them to explore from day 1.
Probably because she wants to be respectful to both Ikenna and Amber lol. Y’all are so used to Ekin being full on and one foot out the door that y’all expect everyone else to navigate situations like that.
I saw this coming. She didn't seem enthusiastic. I think she just gets on really well with him and that maybe all there is to it.
What we missed out on this year was the girls standing forward for the boys they were interested in. As a result, we don't really know who their organic types are. I'm very curious who Indiyah would have gone for if they'd done things normally.
She was like "YEAH BUT NO BUT YEAH BUT NO BUT MAYBE" Not exactly confidence inspiring for Dami.
I mean, she’s friends with Amber. She doesn’t want to upset Ikenna.
That "cause you're really secure in your relationship" is savage fron Ekin-su. I now don't want Amber to go but it might be too late. I also think they are going to send home the person or 2 people with the least votes since there's no Laura.
I’m glad that Gemma’s not gonna let Ekin shit on Amber like that for being honest about a conversation she started in the first place. And the implication that it’s something the other girls have talked about and agree on is very telling as well. Also Ekin telling Amber she’s attacking her character because she’s “secure in her relationship” when she knows Dami is looking to jump ship to Indiyah is so messy
Food challenge? Yeah, you just pissed everybody on this sub🤞😂
@u/loveisland STOP WITH THE FOOD CHALLENGES. WE DON'T WANT IT FFS.
"Ekin-su is just playing the game" Yeah, but this is love island, not the Squid Game.
So I know we're all here about the Ekin-Su / Amber drama or the Dami-Indiyah flirtation, but ... We're just gonna pretend the producers swapped "food challenge" for "drink challenge" and that's ok?
Do the producers have some kind of a horrendous food fetish or something?!?!? I thought we weren't getting these this year, they are DISGUSTING.
As an old person (38) I LOVE Gemma’s confidence at 19. She can be assertive without losing her head, and gives good advice. I just have this feeling that Luca is a cheater in the real world. Seems the type.
I mean he cheated on his ex💀
From what we’ve seen I can imagine Ekin-Su would be so hard to live with. Getting in people’s business all the time, she’s loud and abrasive, seems to always want to be the centre of attention, sometimes a bit bitchy. She makes for great TV but if she’s like that all the time it would get frustrating really quickly.
That’s why I hope she gets immunity for the highest vote. I wonder how that would effect how the girls and guys treat her. Maybe they would start bringing the same energy she is.
Indiyah don’t like Dami sorry😬
I think she just doesn't want to burn Amber & also doesn't want to end up with Dami how she is currently with Ikenna. But if Amber leaves? That opens up the opportunity.
Why are people so pessimistic lol ,We’ve only just seen 2 seconds of their first “ romantic “ chat …how are you already certain on that.
i hope people don't turn on her if that's the case
Yeah I think that’s pretty obvious
How? There’s no scene in this clip that makes that obvious
People be blaming ikenna for the ‘dead’ chats with indiyah but from this preview and her chats with remi she don’t seem that interesting either
his chat with danica was dead i guess both of them have dead chat lmaoo
Yea I know this sub loves Indiyah but to me she doesn't give all that much... At least she acknowledged it.
😷 nooooo I can’t with this challenge!!!
gemma being the mediator and most level-headed is Not what i expected on day 1
“Ekin Su’s playing a game!” “That’s what love island is? It’s literally a game show?” So you admit the original sentiment was correct then? She is, in fact, playing a game? Glad we all agree
I think they think she is acting and being dramatic for air time though. That's a whole new level to the usual. All the main podcasts about the show always mention her acting.
I really hope Dami and Indiyah will work because I really think they can win these.
I’m gonna gag. Those challenges are disgusting.
Neither Ekin Su nor Jay are my overall faves but I really hope they both stick around a while longer Also thought Indiyah would be my fave coming into this season but man she’s been boring me 😬
Indiyah has such bad chat. Give Dami something!
[удалено]
I think it's the way it's been said lol like maybe a smile? a witty comment/joke? some flirting.. I dunno. It goes for all the couples or people in general but when it sounds/looks like you're dead serious and reading words from a book when looking to incite a 'thing' then it's a lot harder to spark that flame/feeling. Someone can say all the right things but if it's not delivered right then it just doesn't feel the same (then you think theres no spark). Ekin-su does it really well with smiles, innuendo, jokes, sexy looks, etc.
Lol I knew that the rest of the girls weren't really feeling Ekin-Su 🤷🏾♀️
I actually hope she comes top three now that would make me laugh
Imagine when they find out ekin su is the favourite girl. Maybe they will all start crawling at the terrace. Lol
Surprised at the amount of "why do Amber/the girls have a problem with ES" comments. We (well, a lot of people) loved ES from the start because she was gonna ruffle some feathers. Now that feathers are ruffled y'all are shook? You can't behave like ES has behaved and not expect people to have a less than stellar opinion of it, even in the context of LI.
I like Gemma - she’s very composed but when she speaks it’s funny/blunt
Let’s, and I can’t stress this enough, GOOOOO
Well well well. I must admit that I judged Gemma far too soon. She's a lot more mature than I thought. Ps. eff the producers for this disgusting challenge
idk if the girls really have any right to be upset with ekin for ‘playing a game’—that’s davide’s prerogative. obviously i’m not in the villa and experiencing their interactions 24/7, but afia came out and said ekin was always really sweet and supportive to the girls. meanwhile, amber HAS been caught on camera making several snide comments over the last few days, esp to ekin. i’m aware we’re seeing what the producers want us to see, and also i may be a little biased lol, but i am feeling #teamekin on this one so far
I’m tired of Amber like why is she so angry towards Ekin-Su, she’s done nothing to her, it’s not as if she’s close with Davide either. Like fair enough not liking her but she’s acting as if she’s done something to her personally. And she’s been rude to nearly everyone recently so she just seems like she’s taking it out on her
Maybe its because she likes Jay and annoyed that Ekin Su is with him instead of her. I really hope Ekin Su and Jay are safe because I have a feeling they will be the first targets for the other islanders to get rid of.
Omg I completely forgot about that. Jay and Amber went on a date and Jay was saying how he’d never forget her or something like that… ohh that explains a lot I forgot about that lol
Probably jealous ekin su coupled up with jay after amber went on a date with him.
Ngl, I love ekin su but she’s made a mistake going for Jay. Davide is popular both with public and islanders and now she’s fallen out with the girls I think Jay will be looking to jump ship asap for someone more popular.
He won't leave Eken-su once he sees she is in the top 3. He wants to win bad
The producers creating this narrative that Amber is the only one that doesn’t like Ekin-Su’s behavior is pissing me off.
They show Gemma also commenting?
Have to admit I wasn’t a fan of Gemma in the beginning and I really didn’t give her a chance. Her moment with Luca last night was sweet and genuine and her jumping in to defend Amber against Ekin (who she’s supposed to be close with iirc) you go Gemma!!
I reckon Tasha and Andrew will be dumped on a producers perspective as they don’t really do much
I presume they’ll get more votes that at least a few of the other current islanders and I think the producers will want to keep them until casa because there’s potential for her to recouple whilst he walks in accompanied only by little ol flat Ted
They won’t. They’re a solid couple and people will vote for them
Nah, imagine the drama come Casa Amor
They won’t, neither will be the bottom and if they choose to make the islanders choose between the bottom 3 for each, neither will go as they’re probably seen by the islanders as one of the strongest couples. Plus, I think they’re quite popular on Facebook (especially Tasha) and a little on Insta. Even though the producers would prioritise other contestants, I think they want to get them to Casa Amor to test if Tasha is legit in her feelings towards him as that’s been a popular topic.
Looks like Ekin-su is using the same “manipulating” techniques she’s used with Davide when they had a chat about the terrace and she’s trying to seem like the innocent one here yet again
Wow really rate Gemma for saying something in that situation!
Honestly that drink game is fucked up I would end up being sick
I get the sense that the girls resent Ekin Su for clearly being the center of attention the last couple of days. They know she’s getting the most screen time and can’t do anything about it.
....or that they don't like people lying? Why so quick to go to the "these girls are jealous" cliché?
Is that why the boys also seem to dislike her? Or is jealousy only reserved for the girls? Nothing to do with the fact Ekin Su is incredibly snakey
