The first Winter series filmed in Cape Town is due to start on January 8th, lasting for six weeks! Exciting!
I haven't enjoyed Love Island as much as I probably should recently, but I'm hoping for a bit of a shake up.
Series 5 was a definite improvement on Series 4 in my opinion.
It was a more enjoyable watch when there wasn’t an obvious winner.
But I still think S2 was the best.
As the shows got more popular it’s a bit more PC / Tame I’d say.
Excited for a new one but idk if two series a year may be a bit too much.
I think it should just air once a year personally.
If they're gonna air twice I hope they shake it up somehow but idk that they will. It's a good watch anyway at its core so hype!
12th January!
Caroline Flack has stepped down as host following her assault charge, rumour is that Laura Whitmore will be her replacement but we'll know very soon I assume as there's less than a month to go *.*
Laura Whitmore is so f***ing dull
Laura has been confirmed to host . Tbh I don’t think much people watch this for the host it’s not like the Caroline ever did much on Love Island anyway .
Yeah, I don't think a host is all that necessary for Love Island. The texts basically do a presenter's job for them, so a series without them probably would have been just fine. I guess a series without a presenter working so well would maybe close the door completely for Caroline if they are indeed leaving it open for her to return in the summer though.
Yeah I agree, they don't need a host as much as say I'm A Celeb or Big Brother where they have live vote offs and interviews, the final would be less of an event though for sure. Not a huge Laura Whitmore fan but then I didn't like Caroline, I guess it's the sort of show where not being that fond of the host doesn't matter because you never really see much of them anyway
It looks like its back to the name Love Island, and are the producers the same as BB? Mark, Biannca and Helen from BB15 have all retweeted the auditions post - are they told to by management or could they all be going on the show?
Lineup announced including Paige Turley of BGT and Lewis Capaldi's ex who inspired SYL fame and Rochelle Humes' sister Sophie.
Most of the men look a bit meh
I’m here for The Saturdays to get a massive boost *.*
Also OF COURSE they got Lewis’s ex. Poor Lewis.
It's nice to see some relatively "normal" looking people on there, so of course Fiat 500 Twitter are being disgusting about people they don't knows looks 🥴
The villa is the house from the Ashley O Black Mirror episode
I actually remember Paige from BGT she was actually really good
She nearly made the final too didn’t she poll top three in her semi but they put the other person through
Leanne and Mike seem the best couple so far, Paige and Ollie can leave already
Last year Amber was really unpopular at the start and she ended up winning so the launch show impressions will probably totally turn around after we get to know them all.
Don’t think anyone’s coming across to badly but I like Nas and Siannise.
Really struggling to enjoy this.. it just doesn't feel the same without it being actual summer or Caroline hosting.
Shame as I think they have got some cast members.
The twins they looked very familiar...
The girl who has Fudge as a surname and the Tory guy are the two absolute worst, boring vapid c**ts.
I really like everyone else so far! Shaughna and Leanne being my faves.
Siannise is the worst for me on initial impressions too, she just seems like she's gonna be really annoying and I was kind of sick of her already! Like does she actually think having Fudge as a surname is a personality?! I should support a Brizzle girl but nah, maybe she'll grow on me and be ok in the end we'll see. Initial impressions usually mean nothing on Love Island because there's so much potential for shit to go down and change my mind drastically practically on a daily basis. Ollie is also the other one I'm not keen on, the whole hunting thing for one but also just seems like a Tory bore who's only personality will be "my family is rich" but sadly that'll work I expect, at least superficially for a bit.
I really like Leanne, Shaughna, Mike, Nas and Callum so far! Nas and Mike are so hot I could listen to the latter talk all day, oh my god
2.5m last night (lowest launch in 3 years)
Not amazing but not bad at all!
I do think the Summer series could suffer as a result. As much as I enjoyed the first episode I think they would do themselves such a huge favour of they cast more "normal" people and not glamorous social media influencers who most of the general public can't relate to whatsoever.
The majority of the women could barely speak and the twins could barely string a sentence together. The blokes are all the same too. The only remotely likeable one is the guy who no-one stepped forward for.
How the guy who hunts and kills animals for fun is still on the show and was allowed to participate is wrong. In fact people have done far, far less to get chucked off TV.
I guess I may warm to some of them, but there isn't a massive pull to keep on watching.
Saying that; Laura Whitmore was 100 time better than Flack.
I don’t think the show should be casting ‘ordinary people’ - it’s not Big Brother, and part of the appeal (and what’s made the show so successful) is down to it’s casting. You can cast beautiful people with depth and character for example, Camilla, Jamie, Ovie, Maura etc
If they casted more ordinary people the trolling would be worse than ever.
The blond boy is such a psycho looking guy omw
I would be scared if I was any of them girls.
Cba with Paige only developing a moral compass when it's someone else cheating :')
I love Mike more and more every time I see/hear him, that is a MAN I hope he's not another Curtis/Michael and ends up being trash.
Tbf Lewis Capaldi was punching WAY above his weight going out with her tho. I mean not to be nasty but what was even the thought process there.
Mike is like the only attractive one and the first guy too I guess. I figured the twins would be celebs or something but apparently not... also I don't think they look that identical tbh. Similar makeup but one is taller and bigger than the other.
Ffs I spoke too soon on Mike
Jess >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eve
These twins are so vapid, legit only there for the "twist" of them being twins.
The twins are so so awful and brain-dead. I can't stand them, I really hope they're both not in it for long.
Shaughna and Leanne have my heart. My absolute faves. I think Shaughna will be the centre of big arguments this year if she stays around.
I love Leanne, but I can so see her being a Yewande/Kendall type who nobody really gives a chance to
Shaughna is definitely going to be a drama magnet and I'm here for it!
I just hope Shaughna doesn't become too much and like an Olivia Starwood type to the point where she's unbearable .
I really liked Mike and Leanne together I hope Leanne dosen’t feel deflated and still try’s to get to know Mike then Mike will hopefully pick her when the boys pick .
Shaughna and Paige I think have potential for drama so I hope that they stick around a while. I also feel they could potentially clash with each other too. They’re the two most upfront girls in there so they could really bond or come to blows I’d be here for either
I think they’ll be the types who’ll make it interesting and will probably provide the best reactions to new contestants coming in too. If Paige actually comes across well though she could potentially become Megan McKenna 2.0 and relaunch her music career of this. They already have a BGT connection shared as well and Paige can sing well.
Nas is my favourite boy personality wise but I hope he doesn’t become the Callum of this season like the nice guy who goes first. I think this season has potential though. Predicting a ratings increase tonight too now it’s a Monday.
With Leanne I don’t see her as a Yewande. Yewande embarrassed herself towards the end of her stay in the show tbh she was like a real dampener on the show where it got to the point it was better for her to go she didn’t give anything to the show or even seem like she wanted to be there. I do hope she gets a better deal than Kendall though she’s probably the one contestant from all series who I wish stayed longer.
I almost spat my drink out at ‘I’ve got a text not a man’ from Shaugna and I agree about the twins they seem to have no personality at all so vapid and dull and why do they have to do everything together ?
Not the girl with Nas (sorry not learnt the names yet) saying she couldn't possibly be interested in him due to his height then crying about him talking to the new people after knowing him for like 12 hours.
It's almost like they HAVE to be overly attached and borderline obsessive to have a chance, I mean look at Yewande and Samira, because they didn't pretend they were head over heels after 5 minutes nobody would really give them a chance just because they can rush into something with someone who's obsessive right away I know it's a pressurised environment and you're gonna move along faster but you still have to give people a chance, like I said I can imagine Leanne doing a Yewande
Ollie's already quit
Either way, I'm glad he's gone! Easily the worst of the guys. Hopefully we can get rid of the twins next!
Leanne and Shaughna
Shaughna has made me cringe all night as they’ve only known each other two days 😭 I love Leanne though, she is so sweet and those bloody twins have to go!
Ahhh I really like Leanne and Mike together I’m glad Mike came to his senses . Shaugna is making me howl atm as well definitely think she will be good value as the series go on .
Heard one of these priviliged ken doll twats is a trophy hunter. Boycott it now!!!!!
He quit the show earlier today
Which we'll see tomorrow hopefully..
What were they doing letting a trophy hunter onto it in the first place?!
Yeah we’ll see him leave tomorrow I think they showed a bit of it at the end of tomorrow’s preview .
He had the snaps on his insta right? They will have trawled through that whole thing.
Aside from Malia who lasted around 5 minutes is this the shortest stay someone’s had in the main villa?
Surely one of the twins will be out tomorrow?
I will howl if Connagh chooses Sophie!
I get such a creepy vibe from Connor, Sophie is better off away from him tbh
I'm finding this series really dry though, there's not really any drama or anything it's just the usual petty bits about "stealing my man" or whatever, we need a Maura character soon.
I'd only watched the launch... I watched the 2nd episode yesterday and was just bored. They're all just as thick as sh!t and this just seems so much worse/ way more superficial than ever before. Its odd really as I was mostly hooked by last series and loved Series 2/3... 4 was ok, but obvious winners. This series just feels dull and out of place - maybe its because it winter, or could be the casting is shite.
I've no real desire to watch anymore - oddly everyone at work is the same. We're all usually hooked in the summer, but no one is watching/ talking about this series. Everyone I usually speak to watched the launch and that's it
Everyone is more interested in talking about The Masked Singer
New Connor choosing Sophie!!!
This series started off so good but now I'm the words of Jayne - I'm bored SHITLESS, it's the same conversations OVER AND OVER again!
Looks like Sunday might finally have some drama, I agree though it's been quite boring so far. They're all too polite and bland, going through the motions in an artificial way with cliche talks about where their heads are at. The only one with a personality who actually gets airtime is Shaughna, Mike/Nas/Leanne are practically invisible.
Siannise is bloody unbearable, so entitled
Rebecca entering doing it for The Geordies!!
We share a lot of mutual friends. I think she’ll definitely cause some tension with the girls you could see by their faces they had some competition.
Sophie in that challenge though WOW!!
And I died at Mikes face when Leannes heart was raised more by someone else. There’s something about Mike what I think screams insincere / player. I dunno I can’t really put my finger on it but he could well be Michael 2.0 when they do the other villa providing he lasts that long (which I feel he probably will).
The most genuine couple in there right now are Paige and Finley.
Nah Paige will legit ditch him easy
Also Siannise’s face at the end was hysterical.
I actually think she’s good TV to be fair. I hope the trolling of her doesn’t get too bad because she isn’t downright nasty or bully like she’s just obviously used to being queen bee / centre of attention.
I flit between thinking Mike and Leanne are so precious and being suspicious of him After last year with Curtis and Michael, I won't trust any guy until after Casa tbh, Leanne deserves everything so I'm gonna be gutted if Mike f***s her over I feel like she needs time to open up and doesn't always feel right jumping into things so I think it's big she's like that with Mike so soon!
Paige seems like she'd be the first to jump ship to a new guy when she gets bored, I just get that vibe off her.
Siannise asking Connagh about kids and marriage SENT ME
Continuing theme of this series seems to be that the next day's preview promises drama and then in reality not a lot happens, I think it's only a matter of time before Shaughna kicks off at Rebecca though? The pettiness is boring tbh, JUST CONFRONT HER AND GIVE US WHAT WE WANT ffs
Aside from Shaughna and Rebecca there isn’t many characters in there.
I dunno if it’s just the show making it more PC but like S2 and S3 really feel like a totally different show now like there was always drama and something happening in those series and in S2 especially the original and early new arrivals all brought something to the show but yeah. I think a lot of them are just coasting or the show aren’t showing the actual juicy bits.
I’m still gonna watch as it can pick up as it goes along but Shaughna is basically carrying the show right now and with Rebecca now being swayed away from Callum as well we’ve lost what could’ve been the first real drama moment of the series. I’d scream if she still went there though but can’t see it happening. Callum so likes her though I just think he’s a bit terrified of Shaughna.
Shaughna is absolutely ruining the show for me right now 😭 conversations are brought round to her and her ‘issues may constantly, and she is just as (if not more) controlling as Connor yet seems to get away with the behaviour because she’s a girl.
I hope she goes soon, and we can start to see other characters emerge.
She's unbearable but I'm lowkey stanning Siannise because of how ridiculous she is
I can't help but die at the fact her head construed her and Connagh into some unbreakable relationship just bc she finds him hot, relatable queen
Omg this is starting to get boring oop
Really? I think it's so much more entertaining than last series! Well the beginning at least. I'm with people finding Siannise unintentionally hilarious I can't cope with her, she makes me scream.
omg come thru Paige with some drama
Nah there’s no way the public would have voted for Shanise to go on a date surely that’s been rigged ?
Id have thought Sophie would’ve been picked because they’d want a reaction from original Connor then either Rebecca or Shaughna.
Very suspicious public vote that was
I was so sure Leanne would be voted for Luke T and then either Sophie or Shaughna for the other one for the drama something definitely fishy about that vote for sure !
I'm pretty sure precisely nobody in the UK went "what will cause the least amount of drama? Oh I know, the two girls who are in friendship couples right now", very odd results to say the least!
Pretty much everyone on my Facebook is baffled at those results too
The most interesting thing about this series is learning that English people pronounce Conor and Connagh identically.
YAS NAS
Damn that was savage from Rebecca but I low key lived for it I’m really glad Nas stayed though as I don’t think he’s had a fair chance and I really like him . Ain’t got a clue who will be danger in the vote but for some reason I think Connor and Sophie might be ? there relationship is quite toxic way too early already !
I'd have thought Jess and the new guy but if they do a bottom 3 couples like they sometimes do, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sophie and Connor slip down there. SURELY nobody can be rooting for them, Connor is so possessive and controlling. It's worrying that the relationship is already like this, it's only going to get worse as things go deeper.
The new guys and the couples are immune!
I think Sophie and Connor & Mike and Leanne will be bottom.
Oh yeah I forgot about that I suppose that's fair because it's asking for them to go, especially Justin Bieber Luke being with Jess.
Shaughna and Callum and Sianisse and Nas will probably be top of the vote because of Shaughna being the most popular girl and Nas most popular boy.
Is this when they do the bottom then dump a boy and girl but not necessarily from the same couple?
Yeah I think they just kind of do what they want on this show, not as in they fix it (although the dates for the Lukes, hmm x) but there's more flexibility than say Big Brother had, a good thing really.
I voted for Jess in the dates vote if that means anything.
Surely this means Connor is going?
Not terribly surprised by the result. So are we thinking Sophie will stay?
I actually don’t know, I think Sophie will leave and they will expect Connor to leave too but he won’t
Nah I’m thinking Connor will leave Sophie has more allies in there I reckon .
Living for Siannise going straight in for Luke after going in on Rebecca
I’m biased but Rebecca finally gave us some real drama tonight and a real bit of conflict so I’m here for that.
If Sophie goes surely Connor will follow? Well I think he’s more likely to go if she goes than she is if he does. But I’m torn on how they’ll do the vote. I think it will be close and the couples with the Luke’s will have the deciding vote.
I'm not fussed who goes out of Sophie and Connor, they're probably my two worst in there tbh. Connor just seems a bit controling but Sophie comes across very immature, like she always seems to revel in causing a bit of a fuss with Connor when she squeals over any new boy so much as peering round the corner near her
I actually think Siannise is my fave after tonight lmao, she's such a ridiculous drama queen but it's what we need this series
I’ve always liked Siannise tbh she was my launch night gave girl.
And she’s a talking point too. You’d notice if she went and she saved Nas and dumped Connor with a G so she is definitely worthy of staying.
I think she's very simple though. How has she not realised that if they never had the chat then she would have done exactly to Rebecca what Rebecca did to her?
I don't really like either of them but it was good drama.
I think they'll just about keep Sophie. And she will stay.
Ofc Sophie is clinging on for that PrettyLittleThing discount code and spot on Dancing On Ice 2021
I feel like Rebekah is going home tomorrow?
I believe it’s between Rebecca and Leanne who goes tomorrow and I do hope it’s Rebecca . Leanne at least was honest and upfront with Mike when she could have just played it safe faked it and coasted likely to final . Proves she’s there for the right reasons .
I have so much respect for Leanne, she's going against the grain of this show by not pretending she's madly in love after a couple of weeks and doing way too much like a lot of them do/are doing, to me it feels like she was trying to give people a chance (perhaps that's a mistake she's made before, I can relate) and she just realised it wasn't working out that way.
I’m a bit gutted it’s between Leanne and Rebecca.
Leannes pretty genuine and isn’t playing a game and Rebecca is good TV and has provided discussion and drama so it’s a loss either way.
I like her personally but in terms of adding to the show Sophie brings the least out of the girls.
Luke (GBBO Liam lookalike Luke) could be last boy to pick. They’ll let Wallace go first won’t they as he’s new. So if he goes for Siannise which seems likely it’ll depend on who Luke is most connected too he could potentially keep Rebecca in there as she did that to him as a way of returning the favour.
Or maybe Mike will go last and it’ll be between Leanne and Sophie!
If it’s between Sophie and Leanne, I’m positive Mike would bitterly send Leanne home.
You say bitterly, and maybe, but why would he pick somebody has told him there's no chance? (And absolutely no shade to her for doing that, I just don't know why you'd then expect him to keep her), surely even if the other option was a 1% shot for you, that's preferable!
If I was in a situation where someone basically told me there was no chance at all I wouldn’t keep them there if I had the final say
Tbh which other male would choose to save Leanne? I know she’s close to Nas but surely he’ll pick Demi in this re coupling.
It’s only Leanne, Sophie and Rebecca who have a chance of going though I’d say with Leanne actually being most likely after last night.
The drama!!!
ABSOLUTE f***ING MUG
Such a good result - leanne may have gone with her heart but she didn’t have to be so cold about it.
I’m also looking forward to Shaughna giving Sophie a reality check tomoz!
Sophie and Leanne were bang out of order though to expect Nas to put them before his own prospects, he's been waiting this long and finally has something and they just take it for granted that Nas will always be the nth wheel there to support them or bail them out. I've especially got no time for Sophie, she supposedly found a guy she really liked and is just milking the free holiday at this point. She could be with Connor right now and STILL she expects somebody else to put their own prospects in the game at risk for her....
I'm not necessarily mad at Mike for not choosing Leanne, she did kind of seal her own fate, but I think she deserves the chance more than Sophie and she was honest. Mike will go for anything that breathes near him at this rate and I cba, but finally some drama!! I'm actually feeling strong feelings about this episode and that hasn't happened for this entire series I just think Mike is such a mug giving it barely a day before jumping on the girls in the villa he finds even remotely attractive, if his feelings for Leanne were so real he wouldn't be able to leap between iike that!
The thing is, she’s known Connor for a week and a half? She’s be stupid to not stay and see if she connects with somebody more?
It does throw her integrity into question though, as the things she had been saying to Connor and the fact she was considering (or was she?) leaving with him the other day, just makes her seem really fake.
The thing that got me was the fact that she was happy to let Nas throw his happiness under the bus to save her, even though she had already had her chance.
I don’t think she will actually like Nas at the end of it all.
I agree but Sophie did tell Wallace too that it will take a lot for her head to be turned from Connor, I think the producers will want to keep her in for a while. I actually think she’s a nice girl and will possibly struggle with the online comments
I'm not 100% on Demi either, she kind of reminds me of Jack's ex Ellie from the other year But even if it doesn't work out, it's nice for Nas to have at least a chance at trying something when the whole time on this show he's been in friendship couples propping everyone else up.
Tonight's episode was one of the best of the series, but I feel like they should've pushed the recouping back a little as loosing Leanne means loosing a key part of the more interesting storyline in the show
Yeah tbh out of Sophie and Leanne Sophie should have been the one to go . Sophie was literally crying over Connor leaving 2 days ago and now she’s begging to stay . Leanne didn’t handle the Mike situation perfectly but she was at least honest and upfront with him on how she felt kind of deserved a chance to see if there was someone else there for her .
Yessss!
Tonight’s episode has been the best of the series so far with some genuine drama and shocks!
I had a real sinking feeling Mike would get the final say and who it would be between as well (although some of the other couples I was way off at I assumed Wallace would go first, then Liam would choose Rebecca just bc she saved him)
But the way they were like hinting at Nas to choose one of them I found very off putting. And he’s obviously gonna feel guilty as well but like Shaughna said had Demi went in that recoupling because he saved a friend it would’ve been wrong!
Mike though is an ultimate sleaze. He never really liked Leanne he always liked Sophie I think and he’s just uncomfortable to watch tbh. I’m gutted Leannes gone though. Sophie is stunning to look at but like she’s had her chance, she obviously didn’t like Connor that much and I’m here for Shaughna telling her some home truths tomorrow. To be fair on Mike though if someone flat out told me I don’t like you and I was last to pick and that person was there I’d probably choose the other person too but his speech the way he worded it I was convinced he was saving Leanne.
Mike has shown his true colours now tbh . I can see exactly why Leanne got the ‘Ick’ with him . I just wish she was smarter and played a better game cause if she just kept her cool and waited a bit Casa Amour would have happened (I’m hearing rumours that is happening on Sunday) and Mike would have shown his colours then and we would have been all on her side and she would still be in there !
Mike has been horrible tonight but Leanne also showed her true colours, and to be completely honest they seem to suit each other fine. She came across entitled and obnoxious in her last few days, and I say that as someone who liked her!
I want Mike and Sophie to go the most, can't stand Rebecca, she is such a misery but I just want Sophie gone so bad and Mike is cringing me right out.
I voted Mike and Sophie to stay lol . I don’t like either of the them but they both bring a lot more drama and entertainment than the other couples . Wallace has hardly said a word since being there and Rebecca is just horrible and not in an entertaining way can’t see many voting for them .
Mike and Sophie will probably stay due to them being originals and at the centre of more potential fall out.
Also have to say I am loving Shaughna more and more, she is the realest in there! The best kind of friend one can be is one who will call you out on your shit instead of letting you carry on and looking like an idiot. I've got a horrible feeling Callum is gonna f*** her over in Casa Amor week
I feel like Shaughna might do an Amber and just win with whoever she ends up with near the end
I’m here for that. Or she could at least do a Laura S4 and come second.
But there’s no real obvious winning couple in there at the minute. Paige and Finley potentially could be a threat if they stay together. Or Nas and whoever he ends up with (hopefully it’s Demi because he could be a threat).
For some reason on this show my faves never win but they always make the final
I can’t see past Nas and Demi winning atm personally unless something goes wrong or happens between them but Nas is really popular atm and Demi seems lovely . Shaughna is popular but I have seen quite a few negative comments about her .
Surely mike and Sophie are gone?
Wallace and rebecca is a possibility too though
So two couples get saved and islanders choose to eliminate one! I’m legit positive it’s Sophie and mikes time! Poor Soph
There’s spoiler pictures from tonight’s episode on twitter and it shows Wallace and Sophie leaving .
Urgh I can’t believe they would save that specific female urgh
Lowkey feels like we could have no couples surviving this Casa Amor, brutal Paige and Finn maybe, I hope Siannise and Luke T too as being in a couple is good for Siannise and has mellowed her a lot to make her so much more likeable. I don't want Shaughna to be f***ed over, but I think it's for the best if Callum strays and she's free of him. He clearly doesn't feel anything much for her, and the way that Shaughna describes the differences between other couples and her and Calum, I think she knows that too. She's the realest in there, and deserves so much better!
So... I was told to watch Love Island again by a couple of people at work and done about 20 episodes from like Thursday to Today...
My thoughts - Mike and Jess are awful.
Can the Luke's couple up? Now that would be a good couple!
Love Shaughna and Shinese... also Paige and Finn as well.
Mike is awful - did I mention? Rebecca is too really
Oh forgot; like Nas and Demi too.
At this stage though, i'm thinking it is Shaughna's to lose and she'll win with whoever she is coupled up with; more so if Callum doesn't return to her.
Callum has f***ed it.
There’s no way the public will vote to keep him and Molly in. I can see molly being eliminated like Joanna last year tbh.
Also Paige and Finley have this won tbh
I said Paige and Finn were the most genuine in this thread about two weeks ago now. A few didn’t agree but I still stand by it now.
Yeah they’re the best couple in there. I just don’t know if I get winner vibes off them though. Runners up / finalists for sure though.
I do feel kind of bad for Shaugna but tbh I never really thought her and Callum were that well suited in the first place. It always came across like she was almost forcing him to like her as just as much as she likes him . He definitely seems more suited to Molly imo although how he handles it when he goes back to villa with Shaugna will determine his fate in there imo.
Oh god tomorrow is going to be tense to watch with them all going back in the villa tomorrow !
Shaughna's gonna blow but that'll be the cliffhanger
Yeah tonight’s definitely gonna end with A close up of Shaughas face and tomorrow will be when we see it all really happen
But lord it’s painful watching her knowing what we know I just want to scream to her girl you deserve better! I really hope she doesn’t leave the villa though!
I didn't watch the second half of last nights so I might have missed something, but I'm actually fairly sure Calum will stick with Shaughna, the edit and the previews suggest too heavily he'll switch to Molly so it end up being a bigger shock if he doesn't switch
It's only gonna be Luke/Siannise and Finn/Paige who stay together, Nas I suppose could go either way feasibly but the way he said he needs to talk to Demi before kissing Eva makes me think that he's gonna bring her back and have a chat with Demi before making a proper move.
YIKESSSS
Given the swaps; its Siannise's and Luke T's to lose now
Definitely, I think Paige ha more personality than Molly-Mae but they're just too much like Tommy/Molly-Mae, there isn't that spark to make them win. Poor Demi and Shaughna, I think Shaughna knew but still she's gonna be fuming!
Yeah I think Shanice and Luke T could be dark horses to win tbh I really am amazed how much I’ve grown to like them as a couple but they actually fit so well together . I do like Finn and Paige together but they just don’t scream winners to me for some reason . I really didn’t see any connection with Nas and this new girl at all tbh he had so much more of a connection with Demi from what we’ve seen anyway so I hope he comes to his senses cause I really liked him and Demi together However though I do think it’s wrong people are painting Nas as a bad guy now he knew Demi for 4 days and there relationship was still very new . For me Callum definitely had more natural chemistry with Molly than he ever did with Shaugna so imo he’s not done anything wrong and made the right choice there . How he deals with it now and whether he’s straight up honest and respectful to Shaughna or he’s not and makes excuses could be his only down fall .
Nas has f***ed it
Paige and Finn have it won which is iconic as Paige was most hated after one day *.* we love growth
Nas already regrets his decision, guilt was written across every inch of his face
Will be interesting to see which couple goes tomorrow and who will be in the bottom as I think it’s quite open . The only couples I think are definitely save are Finn and Paige and Luke T and Sainnise !
Rebecca is a goner
Last year I think the couple with the least votes went
Then the next 2 bottom, The Islanders picked a couple of to go.
I’m guessing they need to cull more than just a couple again.
Rebecca + Jordan seem at risk of going but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Jess and Ched.
Callum and Molly will get some votes bc they’re adding a bit drama and Mike is a big character so I think he and Priscilla will too plus I think Nas still has enough of a fanbase to not come dead last and I just can’t at all see it being Siannise and Luke or Paige and Finn.
The only other vague possibility is it being JB Luke and Natalia but I think he’s popular enough himself to manage to avoid coming last.
Omg crying my eyes out at Finn reading his speech off his phone so he got it all right
Eva is gonna be the next girl to “get the ick” she just isn’t feeling Nas at all is she?
2 Couples out tonight apparently...
TBH I'd happily lose about half of them; hopefully the Luke's are safe though
^ Seems to be the one couple, who received the lowest votes.
I think one couple goes and a recoupling?
Demi and Luke m seem to be a new couple? Could win it but you can tell there’s no sexual attraction either
Who's been voting for Mike?
C'Mon Own Up
And Natalia has Luke M to thank for for being anywhere near that villa - she's on severely borrowed time
Cliffhanger ending incoming methinks
No Way! Actually shocked by that - I know Nas was a tit for binning off Demi, but thought he had built up enough popularity/ fans in weeks 1-3 to survive over Jess... and Mike too.
He must be gutted he didn't stick with Demi.
Luke M and Demi and Luke T and Siânnise are a lock for the final. I'd say Paige and Finlay too... but I just can't seem them winning
Yas Jessssss!!
Nas king of chucking away popularity
NAS!
I'm mad at him for chucking away Demi but I still think he's a really nice guy and I'd rather him than Jess & Shed.
I’m kinda surprised Callum and Molly never finished bottom 3 tbh
I thought Was would've still had a big enough fanbase to get more votes than Jess and Mike! Can't say I'm disappointed though he was always pretty boring and I grew to completely dislike after Casa Amor. Can't wait for Demi to make her way to the final now with Luke M
Do they release voting figures at the end of the season? Would love to know how close it was.
Shocked to see Nas go - at one point I thought he was the clear winner!.. When he was with Demi, of course.
Wowwww Nas he really blew it he literally could have won the whole thing a few days ago if he just stuck with Demi ! I still really liked him though so it’s a shame to see him go .
Shook at Nas!! Ik he was a bellend to Demi and should have stuck with her but I'm really shocked that his personality alone wasn't enough to overcome Jess and Ched who have absolutely nothing about either of them really.
I was expecting the other couple to go to be decided by the islanders but Nas and Eva were the right ones to go. I didn’t expect Jess and Ched to finish above them but they’re very suited in my opinion and I can see a spark
With Nas and Eva from his part I think he likes her I’m just not convinced she’s keen on him. I kinda thought that she was biding her time waiting for a new guy to come in. She used Nas to get into the main villa. Nas will know now he’s majorly messed it up though.
Definitely not shocked at Mike and Callum and their partners avoiding the bottom 3 though. Mikes a huge character and Callum adds more drama to the show. In a vote to get rid of a couple it would’ve probably been Callum and Molly with like 50% of the vote but in a vote to save we sort of want them in there and especially now if Shaughna is gonna be going on dates with others.
Gutted Rebecca has gone but a plus side of that is she could be on the next big night out me and my close friends have in Newcastle!
Yeah I’m not really shocked Callum and Molly weren’t in the bottom tbh . They actually seem well suited and a stronger couple compared to the couples that were in the bottom 3 . Plus they’ve had a lot of screen time as well which always helps . If I’m honest as well I think Shaugna needs to lowkey start moving on from it now as she started to come across a bit bitter and I’m a bit bored of her keep talking about it constantly now . Like she couldn’t even let Paige have her moment with Finn asking her to be his girlfriend before she dragged her away to moan about Callum again .
I screamed laughing at Shaughna dragging Paige away
There's a cynical side of me that doesn't always believe the results of these things until it gets to the final week and thinks the producers just decide who they want gone. It always seems like they select people to go who have ran out of a storyline or a convinient time to cause a shock. I've thought this ever since Malin went in Series 2 over some real non-entities at a time when the show needed another kick
Malin is very popular now but at time S2 went out she really wasn’t popular at all for some reason. (I never understood why tbh especially as Olivia in that season was popular with viewers and she was awful during her series. A bigger villain than any other female
Islander I’m still stunned she actually stayed with Alex tbh. And they’re still together now ).
She was against Tina and Liana though who offered little to NOTHING. I just found it hard to believe she polled the least, and 2 years ago, Megan conviniently managed to wind up not being eliminated every single time even though everyone wanted her out
The final is on the 23rd!
Am I the only one that’s starting to find Shaughna a bit annoying ? I just think she’s playing the sympathy card a little too much now with the Callum situation and trying to do an Amber from last series . I also think it’s a bit convenient she suddenly fancies Luke M now .
EDIT: Also I think that headlines challenge was really bogus as the majority of those headlines were either really fabricated and exaggerated or just simply not true . It just seems like they wanted to cause unnecessary drama with most of the couples for no reason !
If the final is that soon I take it there’s no more new arrivals as we’re gonna need to get rid of a good few in there.
Siannise and Luke to me seem the most likely winners.
Double Post
Well this episode is basically a Shaughna hatchet job if there ever was one. The conversation came out of left field. The editing showed Luke M and Demi getting on together. Demi even got tears and a comedy edit too.
The show was an edit to push Luke M and Demi FTW. Sh!tty convo's between all the other couples and them two talking about breastfeeding
Despite liking her, it is Shaughna's time go - her move to Luke M was on the desperate side
Cba with Shaughna going, she just feels far to popular for Love Island producers to let go.
Demi though, she can’t complain about Luke m speaking to Shaughna when yesterday she was saying to look m she was going to speak to the new guy
Yep going off Shaughna more and more really hope Luke picks Demi there’s literally no chemistry there with Luke and Shaughna at all and it’s just coming across she’s saying all of this now to stay in !
Luke M is so gonna go last.
I’m torn though bc Demi and Shaughna both add to the show and are equally likeable. Tbh I see him being more suited to Demi. Shaughna liking him seemed to come from nowhere tbh well since the tweet challenge where she seen someone saying she should couple with Luke and win. From an editing POV we’ve seen nothing hinting she likes him though unless I’ve missed it.
Shaughna leaving now means she can get a week of press and interviews to herself as well before the finalists come out. After tomorrow we will probably get a vote open as well for save your fave couple which will likely see Jamie and Natalia leave. I think Jamie’s gonna go for Natalia bc she’s not getting to know anyone else and the other two girls he could pick both prefer Luke M.
She’s always said if she had to couple up with somebody else (while she was with Callum) she’s said Luke M numerous times. 👀
It’s so crazy to me how all my friends are so convinced Paige and Finn are winning. Tbh they’re actually who I want to win and who I think are the most well suited coupe but I really just can’t see them winning.
I don’t think Luke and Siannise are gonna win with a Jack and Dani like % lead though perhaps more on Ambers from last series?
I think Shaughna's gonna go, with Demi it just feels like they naturally gravitate towards each other and click whereas with Shaughna he seemed a bit puzzled and bowled over by it so I don't think he feels the same? It'll be a shame to lose Shaughna though, as the biggest character of the series alongside Siannise.
It was the right decision - I mean shame Shaughna had to go, but it was her time.
Final 4 of the Luke's, Callum and Molly and Finn and Paige on a lock now though
The rest might as well not be there
I’m glad Shaughna left she was a great character overall but it was her time to go and she was starting to grate on me .
Natalia is legit awful
I don’t think Callum will finish top 4 either
Luke and Demi and Luke and Siannise are two of my fave couples in years - really hoping they are the top 2 over Finn and Paige
I think Jess and Ched might finish top four - she’s generally a likeable character (Luke M situation aside) who has given us a few funny moments, and Ched is just Ched!
Shaughna left at the right time. And she can rightfully get some attention and press all to herself before the finalists come out. (Like nobody is gonna be interested in Jamie and Natalia who are going next lol) and she left on a high too. I’m sort of gutted because I loved her but Demi and Luke just fit better.
I’m torn on who the 4th couple in the final could be. I actually think Mike could sneak there because he’s an OG and a big character. And then maybe Jess and Ched too. I’d be shocked at it being Callum and Molly tbh bc now Shaughna has left there’s no awkwardness or a reason to keep them in.
Siannise and Luke T for the win I’m thinking. I genuinely think Paige and Finn could go the distance outside the show though.
Jess is fine, certainly not an unlikeable person, but I just find her so vapid She feels like she's one of those people who will talk for the sake of talking but not actually have anything to say. She can be unintentionally hilarious though
It's a shame to lose Shaughna as a character but it does kind of feel like her time. It's definitely not going to be the same without her though </3 Siannise and Luke HAVE to win after tonight, I was crying my eyes out at his "proposal", how adorable!! Literally the cutest thing, I can't believe how much I'm rooting for them after how I started with Siannise but he absolutely brings out the best in her, and her best is absolutely wonderful. She's such a big character but genuinely I think she has such a heart of gold, it's so cute as well how she is with Luke M and pushing him to get what he wants/deserves and not settle for less.
Jess’s personality is so funny though. Obv I’ve met Rebecca from this season personally so I can’t really say much on her as I’m biased and what I know of her wasn’t really seen on the show which probably sounds like a cop out tbh but she was either not shown or given the villain edit what often happens to non day one islanders like on past seasons I’ve gotten quite loyal to the OGs and when people come in and are like I like _______ I’m like noooooo (tbh I did it with Molly this series
in real life I think I’d get on with Jess quite well and it seemed like she was one of the girls who liked Rebecca the most weirdly (probably bc she wasnt a threat to her). Jess has been funny though like that skittle or smartie getting stuck in her eyelashes
I feel like this experience has probably done both Jess and Eve the world of good tbh. I think if they’d both stayed in that first re coupling it would’ve been super confusing. It’s a shame we never really got to see Eve that much though but at least now they sort of have their own identities kind of thing.
Siannise to win though would be a result! And the second series in a row the winning girl being the least popular girl in the first week would be quite something. That’s another thing you get with LI like the favourites change constantly and everyone gets at least one bad edit too But you get islanders who turn from zero to hero like Siannise and Amber then other people who go the opposite way like Michael last series and to an extent “loyal” Georgia too.
We’re to expect an announcement on the current series this afternoon.
I don't think it would be disrespectful or distasteful to continue with the series as normal unless Caroline's family have requested it not to go on. It would be a different case if she was currently hosting the series but I don't think cancelling it will resolve any issues. ITV just need to make clear their after-care support for contestants and celebs and put more focus into that
I suppose its more down to if the production team etc. are comfortable going on though
I would just finish it within the next 5 days tbh
It’s due to finish pretty soon anyways next Monday I believe so I don’t see why they should be cutting it down nor should they imo unless the team/production or Caroline’s family don’t want it to continue as imo her tragic death is not the shows fault at all !
I do think they'll cut it down. You've got to think about the people involved too, I don't think people are considering that a solid amount of the team working on Love Island this year will be grieving a loss of their close friend and the ties she has to the show. Laura Whitmore too, listening to her radio show this morning, she's in bits about it. I expect they'll want it done as soon as possible now because it's going to be dogged in criticism and I would expect the final to be brought even closer.
It was due to finish next Sunday. I think tonight’s episode will be cancelled and then probably an extended episode tomorrow night.
I’m thinking tonight’s cancelled extended tomorrow probably with it still finishing on the original date.
I don’t think we’re gonna get two seasons a year next year though if the summer one goes ahead it’ll likely just stay a summer show but I could see it taking 2021 off screens tbh. I can see them dedicating the next episode to Caroline.
Yep, officially cancelled tonight and back tomorrow, dedicated to Caroline.
A tribute to her will also air during tomorrow night’s episode
Her passing has affected me more than any celebrity. It just doesn’t seem real. That was a lovely tribute by Iain and hearing the pain in his voice was absolutely heartbreaking. If only she knew how loved she was.
Yeah it was a really lovely tribute by Ian and the team you could definitely hear the sadness in his voice when he was talking which made it even more heartbreaking .
Regarding the actual show unless there’s some sort of twist with the vote Natalia and Jamie are definitely going .
I think it’s Natalie and Jamie too. I don’t imagine they’ll do the twist of one boy and one girl from seperate couples now so with a straight public vote they’ll likely finish last just by Jamie being brand new and Natalia not being central to the show.
Tonight’s episode was very touching like the tribute and the no music too and the reshowing of the helpline and be kind. A subtle but effective tribute in my opinion. Some of the fashion brands what always tweet about the show (like the ones they promote when they leave) have lot of respected decided not to tweet about the current contestants due to what’s happened too.
Jess and Ched top 2 of the vote
I think its safe to say Luke M and Demi got 90% of that vote
Well that was a shocker for bottom couple... not!!!!!
As much as I've found Mike irritating, low-key want Callum out just because of how he messed around with Shaughna. Also the look on his face; he must have thought he was a lock for the final
Really pleased Jess and Ched were saved, Jess deserves to be in the final over Callum and Mike
No surprises at Natalia and Jamie going . I actually hope Mike and Priscilla stay over Callum and Molly. I know Mike has been a bit irritating at times but him and Priscilla actually seem like a good match and come across more genuine and real than Callum and Molly imo .
I think Luke and Siannise might be the best couple ever on this show, they're so so cute I can't
Ahh that episode was so good definitely my favourite this series tbh . I really like all 5 couples tbh will be a shame to lose any of them !
This series really done the islanders dirty at the start. Either that or it’s just got better as it went on. At this point in the show now I genuinely root for more islanders than I did at this point last year.
Paige and Finn are who I hope win tbh but I think they’re gonna be seen as the Molly Mae / Tommy and be runners up.
Tonight was a really fun episode which we've missed this series, a lot of the time it's been dramatic or there's just been nothing going on, it was so nice to have an episode with such a cute date with Siannise and Luke, the undercover tasks and the talent show.
I always like the final episodes on shows like LI and BB when that used to air where it was seemingly positive at the end and everyone seemed to get on and it was just nice. Like we all love drama and the odd spat here and then but when it’s near the end I like it when they appear close and always get a weird feeling of like happiness for them all making it so far
I can’t shake the feeling that Paige isn’t too fond of Finn I’m probably wrong but there’s been a few moments recently that just didn’t feel right.
I’d absolutely love Jess and Ched to win, I feel she’s been underrated throughout and they are so into each other on a realistic level but I’d be equally as happy with Luke T and Siannise winning!
I’m predicting the final order as
1st Luke T and Siannise
2nd Finn and Paige
3rd Luke M and Demi
4th Mike and Priscilla or Ched and Jess
I think either Ched or Jess or Mike and Priscilla will leave tonight which is a shame as I like both couples . I like Luke M and Demi but in terms of the strength of the couples left and how serious they are I feel like they should be the ones that should go tbh .
I really liked it Mike and Priscilla as couple they deserved to make the final imo . I like the other four couples but it’s got to be Luke T and Siannise for the win !
Not surprising results so far...
Paige and Finns odds have shortened a bit, maybe they'll pull off a shock win
I really hope Siannise and Luke have won but I wouldn’t be surprised it Finn and Paige pulled off the win .
Meh to the winners
Ahh I do like Finn and Paige but I’m gutted I wanted Luke and Siannise
Bit miffed at that tbh, I liked Paige and Finn but Siannise and Luke were on another level, I think they're probably my fave couple in any series! They just fit together like they've been together for years but I can't see Finn and Paige lasting, I've just got that niggle
I’m absolutely buzzing!!!!
I’ve said since the end of week one they were the most genuine couple and they did THAT.
My favourites have finally won as well! I’m so so so happy for them
I wish they revealed the voting figures as I imagine it was quite close between the top 2 .
I’m predicting something like 4-5% lead?
I really didn’t expect them to win though I almost expected them to be 3rd actually so happy they pulled off the win. It’s not often that LI get it right in the final (like Amber winning last year, Kem and Amber over Jamie and Camila and the series it was so obvious Dani Dyer would win from day one).
Best winners since Cara and Nathan!
Bit meh about the winers, they really didn't add anything different to the show at all
Voting Percentages for the Final have been revealed !
Finn and Paige - 44.52
Luke T and Siannise - 43.61
Luke M and Demi - 9.62
Ched and Jess -2.25
I expected it was really close between the top 2 less than 1% between them. Makes it even more annoying Siannise and Luke didn’t win !
Woah! to how small the gap was!
Wow! Both I’m a Celeb and now this being a 1% margin!
Much better when you get a close run final though. Still happy Paige and Finn won though. The best winners
Apparently they have had the most number of applicants for any season for the upcoming summer season.
Seems to be driven by people being at home.
I have read they want to film in late August.
Whether this will be able to go ahead remains to be seen.
Probably not a massive surprise to anyone but Love Island is cancelledt his Summer.
I'm not too bothered, the Winter series and this one may have felt like over kill anyway tbh.
In a way I think this feels like a blessing in disguise. Was a bad idea to have two seasons a year anyways.
Hopefully next years series will air during summer months though and not winter.
I didn’t watch the winter series (Series 4 and 5 virtually all my friends were talking about it but no really cba this year lol) so was looking forward to coming back to it in summer but it’s obviously the only way.
The news was inevitable. As has been said, it may be a blessing in disguise for the show to have a breather for a year. Plus with Caroline's death I think now is probably the most appropriate time to hold off for a while. I actually think the show could benefit in the long term once it's gone long enough for viewers to miss it.
The next season back will be massive I’m guessing given how depressed everyone will have been for the months prior.
The media now reporting today they are planning on the series being in the Autumn - September / October
I guess itv are going to be pushing for it as they will be running out of content soon.
Winter Love Island is cancelled! It will just be the Summer series going forward.
Good news I’d say!
The long wait between series will make the next series a massive talking point and the ratings will be skyrocketed!
I also think it gives a lot of time to try and get a really solid cast together who may be more down to earth / not people who already have heaps of social followers already although that could just be wishful thinking.
One series per year is definitely better than two though! The winter season worked well for this year though at least we had a 2020 series.
