9!

Oh it is that villa! had a lot of work done to it!

It reminds me of the villa in the Bachelor.

Good God surely not, that's gross :umm2:

What was wrong with the old one?

Jack trust me it looks completely different now! It's stunning! :laugh:

Will what happens if you, like, PM us the images? :joker:

I can't do that! :laugh:

Only a couple more hours till there released.

Nearly time!

Okay so what's happening with this

Is Zara back

Hmmm Will if the news isn't that Zara and Naomi are coming back with passes to the final I'm gonna be seething with you.

Um I'm waiting Will ... :joker:

Its the Villa pics though, right?

So it's pretty much the same design just in a different villa?

Ooop :joker:

Idk why but this made me chuckle

That room is obviously cursed

It's a nice villa but the design is basic and exactly the same as last year

I kind of prefer it that way?

It could be a lot more tacky for a show like LI, so I'm not really complaining about the simple design. Plus I'm not really that bothered about the villa design like I am with the BB houses.

Why are people watching this?

It's basically porn but with duvet covers?

Get out Marshall!

Someone sell the show to me idgi and I want something to watch when BB turns ****e

Watch last year's series!

It's honestly more BB than C5 BB is. And don't let the 'showmance' thing put you off because it's nothing like BB showmances where they're just in bed all day, doing nothing worthy of note (that's just what people throw around to trash the show and make it seem worse than BB when they haven't even watched it :idc:) Outside of the coupling up, each person is pretty much their own and it's pretty entertaining. The couples change around too and they get given tasks to do, which are better than the repetitive 'Eat a Kangaroo dick' or 'Who said this about ____?' tasks we get on BB. Plus their finals are great and feel an event.

Oh and if Caroline Flack's messy presenting and open shade of the Islanders (and the show itself) doesn't have you sold idk what will <3

Although that was more of a S1 thing as she was barely visible last year, but I have some hope

AAAA I'm gonna watch!!!
ty :love:

Recorded this tonight will probably watch for the first time

I'm screaming at no one stepping forward for Marcel

I'm Amber desperately trying to hide how pressed I am

Mess I'll catch-up on this in a bit

The old villa was more iconic

lol montana goes to my uni and is really good friends with my roomie (who's running her social media).

The Blazin Squad joke is a poor mans Miss GB joke!

Omg they're playing Leona :clap1:

I love 2003

Thoughts on the launch:

LOVED it. Best launch of LI to date, hands down. Even better than BBs launch tonight tbh, didn't think there was a dull moment. I have a really good feeling about LI this year, the production is slick, the contestants seem full of promise and the villa is absolutely breathtaking.

Montana is my favourite at the moment. Something about her that's really charismatic, I think it's that sort of 'sarcastic posh girl' wit she has about her. Shame about Jessica happening and Dom. I really liked her and Dom as a couple too from what we saw, Jessica is coming across as a proper cow and I don't think she'll stand a chance if the first elimination is a public vote.

The others seem promising but didn't make much of an impact on me. Chloe in particular seems like she could bring some good TV to the table.

I'm starting it now, I'm prepared to be slain

A good start, the new villa looks beautiful on TV but I can't work the layout out yet

Montana :flutter: the edit pretty much gave the end result away, but I hope she doesn't leave cause so far she's my favourite

I really enjoyed that :clap1:

I hope Montana doesn't leave too, I'm kinda annoyed Jessica chose Dom as him/Montana had the best dynamic out of the couples.

And the new villa is massive

Jessica is Lidl Naomi Ball
