[Jack_]

Yeah seems fair

Loved Caroline's 'keep the good ones in' at the top of the show :clap1: educate them viewers

It's going to go disastrously wrong though, I could've tolerated a VTS but tbh this show doesn't need public involvement, it was going well as it was

[Mokka]

I was thinking this needed to happen

[Jason.]

I was thinking this needed to happen

What did?

[Jack_]

Also on the subject of Caroline I get the feeling she hates most of the people on this and thinks it's trash :joker: I'm glad she's being opinionated though

[Mokka]

Just one thread for all the episodes

[Jason.]

Haha. I thought this too.
She hates the lads.

[Jason.]

Just one thread for all the episodes

Yeah, same.
DS has one, and it works better than having multiple threads with different dates, and only 2 pages of discussion.

Wish I'd though of this back it when started.

[Jason.]

Anyone else find Josh's over exaggerated Northern accent annoying?
Especially when he shouts.

[Jason.]

Voted for Jonathan and Naomi.

I like Naomi, but I voted tactically, as she's the only one who can save Jess.

[Jack_]

Luis/Max and Zoe/Lauren are the dullest, they should go tbh

Not gonna happen tho

[Mokka]

Luis/Max and Zoe/Lauren are the dullest, they should go tbh

Don't touch my Zoe :nono:

[Mokka]

Voted for Jonathan and Naomi.

I like Naomi, but I voted tactically, as she's the only one who can save Jess.

:clap1: I like your votes

[Jason.]

I like Zoe and Lauren.

[Jason.]

Those teeth on the new guy.

:shocked:

[Jason.]

Jonathan, I've got an idea for you... SHUT THE **** UP! :fan:

[Jack_]

I like Zoe and Lauren.

I like them too, but they don't really offer a lot

[Mokka]

Cali is gorgeous... that would slay if she got with Omar

[Jason.]

What happened to Jess and Omar?
They just drifted apart, randomly.

Didn't Omar mind, when she was flirting with Max and Luis?

[Jack_]

'This situations aroused' :laugh3:

[Mokka]

What happened to Jess and Omar?

:laugh2:


the couples got disolved and she ran :run:

[Jason.]

You've known him since 7 June, love.
It's not like you've been married since 1985.

[Jack_]

You've known him since 7 June, love.
It's not like you've been married since 1985.

To be fair in these types of 24/7 shows I reckon it's quite easy to develop a relationship/fall in love than it would be normally. One day is probably equal to about a months worth of dating on the outside

[Mokka]

can't wait to see who goes

[Jack_]

I'm thinking Omar and Jess which will be awful

Jon and Naomi as outside chances. I am enjoying this show but the slut shaming on it is awful

[Mokka]

Jon and Naomi as outside chances. I am enjoying this show but the slut shaming on it is awful

agreed

[Jason.]

Big Brother eviction teas.

[Jason.]

Beth and Omar evicted.

[Jack_]

Well Beth surprised me, she quietened down after the first night

Omar :sad: why did they bring the public into this?!?!!! Never again

[Jason.]

Well Beth surprised me, she quietened down after the first night

Omar :sad: why did they bring the public into this?!?!!! Never again

Omar wasn't that entertaining, TBH.
He was funny and cringe at times. But he was hardly involved in any of the big rows or bust-ups.

Shocked at Beth, as I genuinely thought Jess would get more votes.

[Jason.]

I would take this eviction with a pinch of salt, considering there's more newbies than originals now.

They put in new Islanders twice a week. So no doubt more entertaining ones will come along.

[Mokka]

Omar :sad:

[Jason.]

Glad Jess has stayed.

:cheer2:

[Jason.]

Calum Best?

What?

[Jack_]

oh for god sake not this dullard :facepalm:

[Mokka]

Callum Best ??? desperate much :hehe:

[Jason.]

I think it's a stunt to get ratings, though.

[Jason.]

Callum Best ??? desperate much :hehe:

Screams of BB legends entering the house.

[Mokka]

I think it's a stunt to get ratings, though.

ya think...

[Headie]

Yay Jess stayed. Happy with Omar going as it means Jon is most likely to go in the next public vote.

[widerlet]

After the pod date wheb naomi cried..was I the only one not feeling sorry for her. She literally walked into the house and wrecked jess's relationship and friendships. Karma..not enough karma tbh

[Mokka]

You are not the only one... Naomi is so fake. She is my least favourite character

[widerlet]

You are not the only one... Naomi is so fake. She is my least favourite character
She looks sweet and wholesome in an American girl way but she's seriously malicious and hypocritical. I just can't get over how she treated jess. Doesn't she realise that those boys are always ready to slag off a girl, when she chooses to side with them. It won't work out well.

[widerlet]

I like the new girl. She seems nice I really hope it's not a rouse

[Johnnyuk123]

If Pie face gets evicted tonight he is gonna be the new boy on love island next week! How long will he last? Will Jess do him? Will the fridge take a major hit? :hehe:

[Jason.]

Bump for anyone watching.

[Mokka]

Watching... the previews looked exciting

[Jason.]

Sunday episodes are always the best.

[Jason.]

Here for Lauren finally being in a good couple.

[Mokka]

The bastard has come in to double play her :fist:

[Jason.]

This thread is going to be quite as Big Brother is on at the same time.

[Jason.]

This is awkward.

[Jason.]

Wow Sundays aren't Jess's nights, are they?

[Mokka]

why are they always attacking Jess....

[Mokka]

I love Max's observation... "Josh is that full of himself " lol

[Mokka]

:omgno: Zoe :shocked:

[Jason.]

Mokka who are you faves and least faves?

[Mokka]

Zoe and Jess... I have a soft spot for both those girls ... I think because the boys have been so horrible to them... I think Max maybe my fav guy so far... I hav mostly hated the guys

I hate Jonathan, Josh and Naomi...

everyone else I am just ok with

[Mokka]

how about you BB6??

[Jason.]

Same with you. I love Zoe and Jess.
I also like Lauren. I liked Rachel, but she was evicted way too soon.

Out of the guys, I only like Max and Jordan.
I liked Chris, too. But he's gone.

I used to like Naomi, but she's incredibly smirky to the point where it comes across annoying.

Luis was one of my faves until he went all aggressive with the other women.
I don't like Josh.

I can't abide Jonathan. ****-stirring bastard.

[Mokka]

yeah... I would like Luis... but when he got all aggressive with Jess and when he was talking **** in the hot tub I went off him

[Jason.]

I have a feeling Naomi will drop Josh like a cold bag of sick when Calum goes in.

[Mokka]

Naomi realizing Josh doesn't have two brain cells to rub together

[Mokka]

Callum isn't going in to couple up though

[Jason.]

Callum isn't going in to couple up though

What's the point of that?


:umm2:

Oh wait, I remembered he has a GF, doesn't he?
I remember he mentioned it in CBB. Presuming they're still together.

[Johnnyuk123]

This thread is going to be quite as Big Brother is on at the same time.

What is Big Brother? :hehe:

[Jason.]

What is Big Brother? :hehe:

A show which used to be golden. Now garbage.

[widerlet]

Omg Luis's face when the newbies walked in..definition of awkward face but in such an adorable way hahahaha so cute

[widerlet]

I wish jess didn't even bother talking to Josh. He's a rat bag through and through

[widerlet]

Really hate Naomi. Her calling Jess a "dirty little slut". When after the podvid she cried when a girl called her untrustworthy ..watch your mouth naomi. Don't talk crap when you can't handle an observation

[widerlet]

I like Max so far *fingers crossed* he doesn't flip to the dark side

[Jack_]

Went to the pub earlier so catching up on this

LOL @ Zoe and Jordan in the bathroom, I'm surprised they didn't put cameras in there tbh, not that they'd have shown it but still, seems a bit odd

Jonathan starting everything up again as per :laugh: idk why people dislike him, most of the drama has been caused by him on this show

Felt sorry for Jess again, they really need to give her a break. And Josh, as much as I like him, completely misconstrued that conversation and twisted her words to fit his agenda. It was all very petty.

[Jason.]

On now.

[Johnnyuk123]

Love Island is on!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[Jason.]

I see Calum Best is entering.

I would've thought they would've given him a live show tomorrow night or something.

[Jason.]

Hope Max stays with Jess.

He'll come across as a right knob if he ditches her for Naomi.

[Johnnyuk123]

Stick with Jess cos that Naomi is a right bitch.

[Johnnyuk123]

Naomi will make a beeline for Callum Best. And i hope he muggs her off!

[Johnnyuk123]

That baby looking at her breasts in the tv advert. lolol

[Amy Jade]

Naomi needs to stay at least she's creating storylines. Time to get rid of deadwood now like Lauren.

[Jason.]

I like Lauren.
No thank you.

Naomi's storylines bore me, TBH. Jess provides the best storylines.

[Jason.]

Naomi will make a beeline for Callum Best. And i hope he muggs her off!

I don't think he's in there to couple up. I've been told.

[Amy Jade]

I like Lauren.
No thank you.

Naomi's storylines bore me, TBH. Jess provides the best storylines.

Lauren's done nothing since she got there and frankly she's not even pretty compared to the other girls.

[Jason.]

Lauren's done nothing since she got there and frankly she's not even pretty compared to the other girls.

Not here for the Lauren shade. :nono:

[Jason.]

I've completely forgotten about this thread. Haha.

I've been commenting on BB ones.

[Jason.]

Luis = "Watch Jess".

:joker:

So true.

[widerlet]

I think Naomi is such a misogynist. She said "I think one night stands are disgusting"..then the boys say they've had tons and she says "it's okay for a guy but disgusting for women". Why do men get an okay pass? Plus all the hate she's given Jess for really tame stuff. When the boys do worse. Naomi is lucky she's a petite, blue eyed blonde. She fits the pretty picture perfectly.

But I find her comments unnerving in a way like people who are racist. She's so careless about it, it's embedded in her. She's GROSS tbh.

[Jack_]

^ just caught up and that's the first thing I was going to mention. 'I think one night stands are disgusting, well...for girls, guys it's okay'. I was just like :bored: sadly this is a commonly held belief and it's appalling

Not a bad episode although that montage of the guys in Magaluf at the end :umm2: what kind of TOWIE crap was that. I wanted to see actual footage of the guys in clubs a la The Magaluf/Ibiza Weekender so hopefully we'll be getting some of that tomorrow

Felt bad for Lauren at the end :(

[Jason.]

that montage of the guys in Magaluf at the end :umm2: what kind of TOWIE crap was that. I wanted to see actual footage of the guys in clubs a la The Magaluf/Ibiza Weekender so hopefully we'll be getting some of that tomorrow


I agree.
That was so cringe, too. :umm2:

[Amy Jade]

Some of the original cast need to go now, they add nothing at all.

Jon, Hannah, Jordan, Lauren and Josh should be culled. Jordan has been there for weeks and he has no prrsonality and adds zero to the show and Lauren is literally scenery she's literally a 3 compared to the other girls, she only got in because she shagged Zayn and Jon and Hannah are tedious now.

[Jason.]

Bump for anyone else watching tonight. :love:

[Johnnyuk123]

Zoe is pissed. lol

[Jack_]

First of all what the HELL are these awful slow motion montages? They are revolting. This show has been relatively good at shying away from tacky ITV2 crap like that but that looked staged as ****. I wanted raw footage, not overlaid music like Big Brother seems to do

Secondly, that must've been the quietest bar in the entire world. Since when can you stand in the middle of the dance floor and have a conversation at normal volume? wtf

[Jason.]

[Johnnyuk123]

Josh is a right idiot.

[Jason.]

Josh is a right idiot.

He's hit puberty.

[Jason.]

LOL at the new girl.

Are they allowed to bring random people back?
Do they know they're on a TV show?

Does she count as an Islander?

WTF? :joker::joker:

[Jack_]

wtf @ Josh. I like him but he really is a prick. 'I think it would be best if you just go'...what? :laugh2: you could've worded that a bit better, just say you're still dealing with breaking up with Naomi but you're free to stay. LOL'd how she shut him down saying she wasn't going anywhere

also I was NOT expecting that Irish accent from the other girl :joker: but it was amaze <3

Seems Best's stay was only for the night? Bit pointless, should've had him spend some time in the villa at least to get to know the girls as well

[Jack_]

I also wonder how much housekeeping those two girls had to go through before they could enter the villa, like signing a contract about footage rights, being mic'd up etc. When you think about stuff like that you realise 'reality' TV isn't always that pure

[Jason.]

Max has gone way down in my estimations.

[Jason.]

Seems Best's stay was only for the night? Bit pointless, should've had him spend some time in the villa at least to get to know the girls as well

Is it?
I thought he was staying for like a few days or a week or something. I just thought he was hiding somewhere.

If true, what a disappointment, considering they bigged it up to be this massive thing. I was looking forwards to what he made of the experience again.

Plus we only saw like 3 minutes of him when he was there.

[Jack_]

SCREAMING AT ZOE'S LAST LINE :laugh3: :laugh3: omg

[Jason.]

Bump for anyone watching.

[Johnnyuk123]

Naomi is the biggest player in there. :nono:

[Jason.]

Yeah. I don't like her anymore. She's evil inside.

[Johnnyuk123]

Yeah. I don't like her anymore. She's evil inside.

I said she was evil since she entered the house. Evict her asap please!

[Johnnyuk123]

Jess. I hope she stays.

[Jason.]

Hopefully it's another public vote this week. She's lost a lot of support this week, and Jess has gained a lot.

[Jason.]

I fear that Jess may get back with Josh, as it looks that way on previews. If so, that will loose Jess any support she has gained.
Hope she steers well away from him.

[Johnnyuk123]

Naomi is so up herself she doesn't need a dildo.:joker:
She will marry some rich footballer then dump him for the post man ( who just won a million on the lottery) :joker:

[Jason.]

I know. That's twice now she's stolen Jess's man.

[Johnnyuk123]

I hate girls who are only in it based on the guys bank balance.

[Johnnyuk123]

Last night on the lads night out John tried his best to upstage the best and failed. lol

[Jason.]

Speaking of the lads night out, has Calum Best gone?

I think it's pointless he was only in there for 5 minutes (literally) considering they bigged up his return. They could've kept him in there for a couple of days at least, so he could get to know the girls a little bit. No doubt it would've caused some drama.

Disappointed.

In then out. BB can learn from this tv show.:joker:

[Jason.]

Bloody hell, even Charley was in Hotel BB longer.

[Johnnyuk123]

Bloody hell, even Charley was in Hotel BB longer.

Charley? I don't watch that shyte thankfully.:wavey:

[Jason.]

Jon "Who marries for personality".

God, I really hate him so much. :fist:

[Johnnyuk123]

Hannah will dump John asap once the show ends.

[Jason.]

I actually despise Jon. What a repulsive creature.

[Johnnyuk123]

All of the housemates ten years from now will cringe looking back at this footage. lol

[Johnnyuk123]

Naomi has no problem sleeping with her husbands brother. wtf?

[Jason.]

What?

[Johnnyuk123]

Housemates? This isn't BB, yano.
Islander*

I doubt any of them will remember it.

Tbh no one remembers this years BB housemates.:joker::joker::joker:

[Johnnyuk123]

Is anyone watching scripted BB?:joker::joker::joker:

[Jason.]

Awful series of BB, this year. Wish they'd just axe it, TBH.

[Johnnyuk123]

Awful series of BB, TBH.

Wish they'd just axe it now, TBH.

Love Island is so much better.:wavey:

[Johnnyuk123]

Jordan shags Zoe tonight.

[Jason.]

Yeah.

I'm surprised I'm enjoying it. I really thought I wouldn't. I loved the original series Celebrity Love Island, back in 2006. But when I heard it wasn't with Celebrities, I was disappointed.

But it's been great. I still think the original show was much better as the format was more organized.
But I'm loving the revamp.

Hope it's back next year.

[Johnnyuk123]

When you are between the age of 20 and 30 you have no idea about love and what it actually means to love someone.

[Johnnyuk123]

I want Zoe to say to Jordan we can shop for curtains.

[widerlet]

It's just called love island when in reality it's more shag island. Let's be honest

[Jason.]

I disagree.

This show hasn't been that sex related at all. It's been more about couples.

[Johnnyuk123]

BB opened up with shag fest then the program started and no shag fest. Love Island two shags so far. 2-0.

[Jason.]

Apparently LI is 6 weeks.
So we have just under 3 weeks left.

OMFG, we're halfway through. I wish it was 10 weeks long. Wonder how they will get rid of them all.

[Johnnyuk123]

OMFG, we're halfway through. I wish it was 10 weeks long. Wonder how they will get rid of them all.

They will send in some guy to eliminate them all by the pool.

[widerlet]

I just mean that the extent of their "love" is if they're gonna shag someone or not. I don't think anyone really comes on a reality show with the true intentions of finding love

[Jason.]

Don't go with him Jess.

Please don't!

[Amy Jade]

Naomi >

Jess has NO self respect haha

[Amy Jade]

Josh and Jess are both *****s and deserve each other

[widerlet]

I still hate Naomi. But I don't think Jess shouldn't have gone to bed with Josh. She'll get played for this again..turn against jess coming soon

[Jason.]

A Vote to Save. Someone tell Jack. He'll have tears of joy.

[Jason.]

I'm really annoyed Jess got back into bed with Josh. That will loose her a ton of support.

Part of me wishes it was a VTE, so Naomi would go this week.

[Headie]

Vote to Save? Yaaaaassssss

Btw Rachel was part of BB11's Top 80. Can you spot her?
http://i2.cdnds.net/10/23/bb11_hopefuls_fnnsdjw4.jpg

[Amy Jade]

Voting to save Naomi ♡♡

[Headie]

I reckon Max/Travis and Cally will be eliminated.

Jordan should go tbh. He's a bore. But for some reason loads of girls find him really attractive. Personally I think he's the worst looking out of all the guys.

[Jason.]

I don't think Max will go. He's gotten quite a lot of screen time, and he's quite popular.

I think Cally may stay as people might want to keep her in for Luis. Not entirely sure, though.

I personally think Lauren is in danger, I really hope she stays as I love her. I wouldn't be surprised if Travis goes.

[Jack_]

So just caught up on this...

I don't think Naomi liked Josh that much, which is fine - this is a game after all, but I think the way she kept going backwards and forwards over the last couple of days with him and Max was really out of order. Make your decision and stick to it ffs.

And I'm continually being appalled by her attitudes towards women quite frankly as well. Josh was the one who got into bed naked and Jess wasn't, yet there Naomi is bitching to Max that Jess is 'so slutty' and has 'no self respect'. Um, what? Sexist ****ing nonsense. At the end of the day they can both do as they please, Jess wasn't being a 'slut', there isn't even anything wrong with being a 'slut' anyway (rendering the term pointless) and I am really bored of the sexist nonsense she keeps spouting. It's awful the way some women think like this. Like, stick up for your own sex will you for Christ sake.

Having said all of that, :cheer2: that it's a vote to save this time. They obviously learnt their lesson with Omar. I did roll my eyes at the fact they're getting the public involved again though, it was much better when they weren't so I wish they'd stop.

Luis and Cally have barely had any screen time at all which really surprises me but they're both incredibly boring so I kind of want them to go now. Expect it'll be Travis and her though.

Why do you hate the fact that the public are getting involved?

You're a fan of Big Brother, which is run by the viewers (well used to anyway). The way I look at it is that it's our show and we should have a say in who stays and who goes? Otherwise we'll be stuck with people we don't like till the end. Not to mention without a public vote, it increases the risk of a popular person being eliminated as they may be popular on the outside, but not in the villa.

I also wasn't a fan of how it was before, as without the public vote it was messy. One week we'd have two evictees, the next we'd have four. Not to mention the format was getting boring when you have so many evictions and all you're doing is re-coupling all the time, leaving the rejects to be eliminated. By having a public vote, it ensures the couples stay coupled up, and we get to judge them as couples as that's the whole point of the show.

I also don't think Omar was that big of a loss, either, but that's just my opinion. Not to mention the original show back in 2005/6 had a public vote, and the show was much better back then.

Because the public by and large know nothing (as evidenced by Big Brother), have no clue what they're doing and more often than not end up ruining TV shows because of it. Personally I don't see it as 'our show', that might be the case with Big Brother UK (although I don't think it should be anymore, for the same reason I just mentioned), but Love Island's a totally different programme and it doesn't have to belong to, or indeed be controlled but the public. Especially when the voting on this is free, there's no financial incentive so I don't see why they're bothering.

I do agree it was a bit messy and inconsistent before, but I was still enjoying it. You've misunderstood the point of the show a little bit though. The point of the show is indeed to couple up, but not for us to judge them. The point is to stay in the game you have to be in a couple, it's what Caroline said on the opening night. And that brings me onto my last point...

This show has constantly referenced the fact that it's a ~game~, and that's a good thing. For far too long most shows on British TV have involved the public somehow, and as I said they usually ruin them, it's boring and there isn't that much skill involved. By having the contestants themselves decide who stays and who goes, you add the element that I just talked about - where to stay in you need to be in a couple, so there's the possibility that you could play someone just to give yourself a better shot at the money. And that's interesting. Playing with someone's feelings for six weeks for a shot at £50k (it should be more but oh well), that's evil and twattish but it's a game and something we need more of in the UK. Paranoia, who to trust, lies, betrayal, people playing each other. Once you involve the public you remove all of that really, cause then they're just trying to come off well and that usually (especially under VTE) means them trying to be nice and flying under the radar.

Reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother US/Canada that have the people taking part voting each other out are so much better because there's strategy involved and the people who end up winning are far more deserving IMO than the people who win a show decided by the public. Also this is an unpopular opinion but I actually believe when the public are involved in controlling what happens in a reality show then it actually becomes less real than if you left them up to their own devices, which is natural. Once you have outside interference you aren't letting things play out.

The game (albeit a developing, timid one) that it was in the early weeks > another bog standard reality show involving the public

[Jack_]

Oh and two other quick points:

- Pretty much every decision the islanders made were better results than the one the public made last week

- If you're popular on the outside but get voted out by the people participating, that's sad but it's your own fault for not playing well enough. That's what's interesting about having no public vote, you get as far as possible on your own merit, which is harder than trying to survive a public vote.

[Johnnyuk123]

Love Island on now! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[Johnnyuk123]

Jess is safe for sure!

[Johnnyuk123]

Naomi to be evicted! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[Johnnyuk123]

John and Hannah would be a great result!

[Jason.]

Naomi to be evicted! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Can't see it.
I wish this week was a VTE, so Josh and Naomi would both be evicted.

[Jason.]

John and Hannah would be a great result!

God yeah! Especially Jon.

[Johnnyuk123]

My personal choice to be evicted would be Naomi and Jordan.

[Jason.]

Mine would be Naomi and Jon.

[Johnnyuk123]

John gone would be amazing!

Whenever John talks you expect to hear the drums from eastenders after it. lol

Who decides who gets evicted?

[Johnnyuk123]

If John goes tonight then Hannah will target Jordan.

[Jason.]

Who decides who gets evicted?

The public.
You can vote via the Love Island app for free. It's a Vote to Save.

Surprised at Max, TBH.

Naomi is the only girl apart from Jess providing storylines.

[Jason.]

That suspense music. :joker:

[Jason.]

Yes! Naomi is gone! :cheer2:

I'm really surprised. I thought she'd be safe in a VTS. Wow, she must've lost a ton of support.

[Jason.]

Is this live?
Isn't it Naomi's birthday today?

Poor gal, being chucked out on her Bday.

[Amy Jade]

flop. turning it off now, the wrong people are going every week.

Basically the newbies and the pretty girls go and the bores remain. Naomi was one of the only women providing.

How did Cally get any votes in a VTS

[Jack_]

Just caught up...how on earth did Naomi not survive a vote to save?! I could just about understand her being in the bottom two (although not really), but I am astounded she got the least. This just proves my point that the public really don't have a clue. As the poster above alluded to, who and why is anyone voting for Cally over Naomi?!

Travis was the right result, but I'm amazed Naomi went. This is disappointing because as ridiculous as the whole love quartet was, it was at least a storyline.

Also the Jon hate is silly, the guy is a bit of a prat but he's literally the person who has instigated every little bit of drama we've had, he's such a **** stirrer :joker: someone will have a private bitching session in his company and then he goes 'right then boys let's go sort this out right now' without even asking the person if that's okay, it's rather hilarious

They need to stop the public votes as soon as possible. The islander votes produced near perfect results, the public votes have been disasters.

[Jack_]

oh yeah ALSO screaming @ Jon jumping on Naomi's bed and her reaction :joker: :joker: :joker:

[Amy Jade]

See on you on Sunday then. :wavey:

You won't. Unlike BB with the nostalgia element Love Island doesn't have that for me, it is literally down to who is brought in and the voting is horrendous. Anyone who comes in and is slightly contraversial they go. Beth and Naomi should both be there stirring it up

[widerlet]

I'm glad Naomi is gone. I'm surprised she didn't get more vts since the public usually falls for the pretty face like all the guys in the house. How many times have they gotten outside warnings about naomi but they turn around and go "nah..jess is a slag"...only problem now is jess is going to end up making a fool of herself with Max and Josh when neither of them are worth it. Did anyone catch the **** max was saying about her in his diary room thing. About how she goes for anything with a dick blah blah blah he's been fully indoctrinated by naomi in 2 days. I don't care if jess does flirt with guys, he shouldn't be saying stuff like that regardless. He's no angel.

[Jason.]

BB? Nostalgia?
It's BB16, not BB2. :umm2:

Any nostalgia BB had has been buried since 2010. It's a completely different show now.

Beth did nout. She just went in and bullied Jess, on her first night and then became a bore and did **** all afterwards. Which is why she was evicted.
It's funny how the entertaining ones in your eyes are the ones who go against Jess. Least favourite, perhaps? :shrug:

Basically how I feel,... all the talk about her being so easy.. and she hasn't had sex on the show at this point... just a bit of a fumble under the sheets. So tired of the slut shaming... it just makes me like her more

It got me so angry when Max was laughing at her and saying no one would ever marry her. I hated Max so much after the last episode

I apreciate the dramz Jon causes... but most of us want him out simply to stop the most predictable winners happening in any tv show ever. And I like Hannah mor than him, so I'd rather he went instead.

SCREAMING @ 'she's loud, she's controversial...and now...she's making pancakes!' about Cally :laugh3:

Awkward between Jordan and Jasmine :umm2: and omg YAAAAAAAAAASSSSS at them bringing Omar back <333 and the twins kind of, hope Omar gets picked

[Headie]

Ew Omar needs to leave and never come back kthxbai

[Johnnyuk123]

Get off Omar!

Why can't Omar stay but the twins have a chance to? I know they weren't evicted by a public vote but idc, the votes were free and Omar is better so who cares what the public think

[Johnnyuk123]

Twins to be dumped one more time. :joker::joker::joker:

[Calderyon]

Girls (Lauren, Hannah and Zoe) talking about hj techniques. And then Jess giving a bj/hj to Max.

Entertainment at it´s best, i guess.

Oh, it was Hannah to John then.

So I have been thinking this for a week or so now... and I just finished watching yesterdays and haven't seen tonight's yet, but Johnathon is pretending to be everyone's best friend but he is really just getting in there to stir up doubt in other peoples relationships. He convinced Josh to break up with the Barbie girl... him and Hannah freaked ( like had panicked looks on there faces) out when Jordan and Zoe became a couple and now he is feeding doubt to Jordan, he is counselling Lauren now to be cautious b/c he doesn't want any more competition.

Waiting to see how he tries to break up Cally and Luis now

[Jack_]

Just finished the last fifteen minutes, was there no 'tomorrow' preview or was it just cut off of my ITV Player watch?

Interesting points, this is not something I had picked up on. I don't think it's anything to look down upon though, it is a game and if the goal is to be the last couple standing then I don't really see any problem with what he's doing. In the real world yeah, but on a gameshow no

No, I don't look down on game play persay... I don't actually believe any of the relationships formed in there have any base in reality... But wow, he is actually really good at the game play, and I don't know how to feel about his "we are a family" mantra. I kinda feel bad for all the people he is dupeing

[Headie]

So the 2 newbies have a secret mission? What was it?

[Johnnyuk123]

Way to go Max. Impress Jess by bringing Naomi up.:joker::joker::joker:

[Johnnyuk123]

Zoe has already ridden a bull. :joker::joker::joker:

[Jack_]

Jess and Max best couple 2015 xo

[Jack_]

i wrote JOSH AND MAX OMG SCREAMING can you imagine

[Amy Jade]

first time ive watched this since Naomi left and its awful, all the originals left to be dull to the end and frankly Lauren is ugly no wonder none of the lads fancy her

[Johnnyuk123]

That is 3-0 to Love Island on the sex in the house front.:thumbs:

[Jack_]

Oh God not vote to evict again when will they learn?! We could've got rid of Cally and Luis who are ****ing dull under VTS

Although having said that the results last week were messy as hell so who knows what'll happen. I have a feeling it's gonna be Jess and Max though which would be AWFUL

[Johnnyuk123]

Jess and Max through would be AMAZING!

[Jack_]

Just caught up, I enjoyed the drama the lie detector brought but three things:

1) Why do TV shows and people for that matter continue to put weight into this piece of **** when it's not even that accurate?

2) How come it was only the guys that had to go through it and the girls were absolved of any involvement? :rolleyes:

3) I thought this was a game and references were being made to it being a game. How the **** are you supposed to play a game if your lies risk being exposed though this (even if it's not 100% accurate)? That totally defeats the point of the show ffs

Anyway, decent enough result I think. Was convinced after that edit that Jess and Max would go after a surge of votes but thankfully not, and I'm glad it wasn't Lauren and Josh either. Obviously Luis and Cally should have gone but I'll settle for Zoe and Jordan :spin2:

[Jack_]

also I thought Iain's stand up segment at the top of the show was funny, and James Jordan and Ola is such a random booking for the panel

[Jack_]

I don't know if anyone's still watching this (it kinda went downhill after Naomi left really, although it's had some good moments) but Jess and Max NEED to win :flutter: mainly cause Jess' arc would be amazing and so deserving but they're definitely the best couple left <3

I'm hoping they announce placings but I get a horrible feeling they'll just do the winner, or maybe 2nd and 1st at best. I had a really bad feeling the other day that maybe the odds could be defied and Jon and Hannah's obvious victory (which I'm still anticipating) could be stopped by Luis and Cally since I can just imagine people being like 'aw they're so sweet xx' and the public results on this show have been so weird and random, but surely that can't happen?

As long as it's not them two I'll be fairly happy, even Josh and Lauren deserve to win for me.

[Amy Jade]

I haven't watched an episode since I caught the end of Zoe and Jordan going, again I saw the end and jeez this show is seriously abysmal and I usually love trash.

If it gets a 2nd series it seriously needs an overhaul, there are so many undeserving couples left and big characters going every week or not being given a chance because the oldies stuck together.

Naomi going was the stupidest decision when she added so much compared to all the girls really, apart from Jess and maybe Hannah to a lesser extent.

[Jack_]

I hope it's recommissioned but I'm not so sure that it will based on the figures, maybe the levels of Twitter traffic will play a role in the decision though.

It needs an overhaul and it basically needs to be more consistent. This series was great in the first half and as much as I have enjoyed the last couple of weeks, it has definitely gone downhill and wasn't as good as the start. And as far as I'm concerned, it's primarily because of the public vote. I predicted they'd ruin things as per usual and to be quite honest they did. First Omar and then Naomi...disastrous, especially the latter whose lack of presence has been extremely noticeable over the last few days. Even not giving people like Chris 2.0 or the shouty girl whose name I can't remember (Becky? idk) a chance, and there's someone else I'm missing as well. The results have been so bizarre for the most part and not all that great. The fact that Luis and ****ing Cally survived a vote to save is reason enough to scrap it.

The show was at its best in the early weeks with the idea behind the recoupling and having to be in a couple to stay in the game, because that's what it made it - a game. The decision between whether to couple up with someone you don't really like to try and survive as long as you can to win the money, or to go with someone you genuinely like but risk leaving earlier. The idea that people could be playing each other for money on a show like this is far more interesting and exciting and is something that was lost in the last few weeks.

Bring it back, make the recoupling a consistent part of the game and the way eliminations work for the most part and then maybe just let the public decide who wins and that's it, but tbqh I'd be up for a jury vote amongst the eliminated contestants myself.

[Jason.]

I agree. It has gone downhill since Naomi left. I haven't even watched the last five episodes as I've found it boring. Hence, why I haven't commented on this thread in a week. I'll tune in for the final, tomorrow though.

Jess and Max are also my winning couple. I hate to use the word, but Jess really has been through a journey, and went from hated to loved. Great redemption arc if she wins. :fc:

Hope Jon and Hannah don't win. They've had it so easy from Day dot. And haven't been through as much as all the other Islanders have. Them winning would be a predictable and disappointing end to a good series. Luis and Cally are dull. I like Lauren, but her and Josh are not really a couple, and I don't want Josh to win. So Max and Jess it is.

Either way, it's been a fantastic series to watch. Not as a good as the original show back in 2005/2006. But they've really surprised me with the revamp, as I wasn't expecting to enjoy it. But it's been a fun watch over the last 6 weeks, especially considering I gave up on BB weeks ago. It's also gone quick too.

Hope it returns next year for another series. I mean it is ITV2's highest rated show. So who knows?

[Jason.]

I agree with Jack again, (we're on a roll here).

If it does come back for a 2nd series, it needs to be more consistent. This series has had far too many newbies. And half of them were irrelevant. Like Chris 2.0, Beth, Ben, Poppy, and Travis.

They should've stopped with the newbies after Max went in, TBH. Also, the evictions and format are not consistent like how they were in the original show ten years ago. One week, the Islanders would decide who leaves, the next the public decide, and vice versa. Not to mention the number of evictees per week. One week, 2 people are evicted, the next, 5 people are evicted.

The format needs to be more consistent, as it's been messy and looks like they make it up as they go along.

[widerlet]

I actually really liked the past week. The challenges are ridiculous and we know their personalities well now so it digs deeper. I also loved the parent visits...but ill admit that was mostly because all the parents said that jess was great and Naomi was a twat.

Baby task was hilarious. Josh is such a brat!he spent the whole day in bed whinging and ruined Lauren ' s bday tbh..jess and max are cute despite his skeeziness earlier in the season

[widerlet]

Also I was wondering where everyone disappeared :( this is the only forum I've found to discuss love island. Glad everyone is back

[Jack_]

Was surprised to see they're live from inside the villa tonight but it looks amazing actually! Really jealous of the audience members who get to mill around it, must be really surreal and cool :amazed:

loooooool @ Caroline just shouting 'HERPES!!!!' at Omar as they went to a break then :joker: also YAS at Iain supporting Jess and Max (and I'm pretty sure Caroline is too) <3

I've cast two votes on the app but sadly I think after this proposal it puts Jon and Hannah's win beyond any doubt :(

[Calderyon]

John and Hannah will win, but then again they have been the winners for 5 and a half weeks or so.

It been better than BB16 and has a much better future i would believe than BB tbh. But then again it´s a fresh program while BB is old and badly produced.

[Pete.]

I'm watching nnn. Me boosting they're ratings up?

[Pete.]

This house is so BB14

[Amy Jade]

even if they split up 10 minutes after leaving Jon and Hannah have played a good game

[Calderyon]

That´s how you get those votes. They won´t last though, reality relationships rarely do.

Hoping they announce the placings with this much time left but not expecting it

[Amy Jade]
