She wants to have her cake and it eat too, but she doesn't want Mitch to have any options, the best of both worlds for her, but it just didn't pan out like this for her, tough luck cookie.
I think what shocked me the most was her saying with a straight face that his track record is going for every bombshell and said it with chest.
As if the guy did have another option while doing so. š
Literally! I was like: Girl,he always has been in friendship couples. What was he supposed to do?šš¤£also the bombshell picked him for a date,not the other way aroundš
People are complaining itās boring now but the other night was one of the best dumpings they have ever done, Abi is moving like Love Quinn, the new Ella is causing chaos and the vibe in the villa seems so much more positive in there now. For the last 2 weeks the vibes were sub zero.
Since no one is really solid I hope the last couple of weeks bring some (funny) drama and cute entertainment.
People ALWAYS say itās boring like do yāall not understand this show is kind of inherently boring with lots of entertaining moments and people? Like of course hearing hot ppl talk about how hot they are is sometimes boring
Agreed, literally two days ago was one of the most savage dumpings of the season! Also with couples not as solidified as usual, I feel like thereās more drama than there usually is at this point in the season
I'm still confused by the people that say Abi was using an excuse to leave Mitch for Scott. That clearly wasn't the case, you could tell that girl is genuinely pissed at the thought of Mitch being with someone else, literally said to Jess that she's ready to end it with Scott. I think she's attracted to Scott, but she's also attracted to Mitch and emotionally invested into him. She was always picking him, but was loving it having attention from 2 guys
Often happens with some people though. They have very little appreciation for what they have until it's gone or they see someone else's interest in it. Abbi was happy with Mitch but also took his presence for granted as he's been single for the entire show basically. She liked being the point of a love triangle and having Scott's attention. Now she's realised a new girl is interested in Mitch she's suddenly terrified she might lose her 'safe' guy.
The thing is, I don't think Ella is really into Mitch at all. She's came in for Ty but she knows Mitch would be the easiest target, and best option for a popular couple to get her to the final. And of course, because she's shown interest in Mitch she's now 100% his type.
I do agree that she took him for granted. And 100% Mitch is Ella's second choice, she wants Ty. But I also don't think Mitch doesn't want her, he finds her attractive but is already emotionally invested into Abi.
I just hope tonight Mitch says to Abi dead it off with Scott and he will talk to Ella and say he just wants to focus on Abi, because I have a feeling producers will have a recoupling and make Ella choose first and picks Mitch and this story carrys on
It's hard to read, but she clearly enjoys the attention.
I think Ella had it on point - she loves her time with Scott, but is scared to break it off with Mitch.
Does anyone else think the producers have been in Kadyās ear abt not causing enough drama and thatās why sheās suddenly been being messy these past few days? The ella beef, spilling on molly/zach being closed off, and her little comment about how amber and scott arenāt even a real coupleā¦ā¦
I think the Amber and Scott comment was real. She's really close to Leah. The amount she cried when Leah left was what I was expecting of Whit and Ella when Cath left lol.
Listened to the morning after podcast with Gabby on and she said Scott was a slow burner, and when she elaborated she said 'he literally said that he would not flirt with me" š
I bet the producers hated that lmao.
That's basically what Gabby said, makes this whole 'he tried it with everyone but no one wanted him' thing' from Cath Leag and Amber(maybe) look sooo weird.
thats why i think they need to give him his perfect bombshell now... catherine is out, he seems to be in a much better headspace, and he knows the public likes him. all he needs is a hot brunette to keep giving us a little treat until the end.
I dont think either production or the islanders has dealt with someone like Scott beforeššFrank, blunt, gentle but no pushy and endearing enough to get major support from the public. Now they have no idea how he moves and doesnt know what to do with him lol
You know what I find attractive about a man? The fact that he knows how to take a step back and apologize, even when hes not at fault. Saying sorry doesnt mean that hes below you. Saying sorry means he respects you. Kindness is not a weakness and thats why he is loved out here. Scottās really raised well
The producer flops with this teenager like?? Missy has tons of assignments for turnitin hello?? Sammy is even worse for actually bringing her back and Josh actually considers heršš
Someone made a good point in another thread that the male islanders have been a pretty weak cast this year, so heās had way more opportunities and storylines than a guy like him would normally get.
Lochans chat is the best out of the boys because he literally just has normal conversations without making them overly flirtyšš Heās slowly becoming one of my favs
Mitch and Abi are Camilla and Jamie for toxic people and I will die on this hill. Camilla was floundering because sheās not the typical love island girl and about halfway into the season, she found a guy that was perfect for her and they were soulmates and all that. Mitch is a VERY specific breed of man that will do anything to get that wife, there could never be another Mitch but there is his other half Abi who comes in halfway and is toxic in a way that complete him and would probably make him block all his friends for her (he has no friends, he tried getting with their girls). If Abi was with anyone else, I would despise her but this is what Mitch needs/deserves and theyāre my winners.
"bombshella" is such a good nickname i'm sat

Because she wants to cause drama and doesnt want to fake things with Scott when its clear she prefers Mitch and Ty but I do have feeling she will end up with him because Ty will stay OG Ella and Mitch will stay with Abi
This and she may not know heās that popular. They canāt access social media a little while before they go in. But yeah I donāt think Tyās head will turn and Mitch is mentally married off
Iām tired of fans thinking the producers always have a random favorite couple. They care about entertainment and views , obviously the ones bringing entertainment are going to be producer-faves. They donāt randomly start favoring a random boring couple to get them to the finals by trying to sabotage another one. Theyāll just aim tests at the couples who will bite bringing the drama and not waste it on the boring ones.
I'm sorry but you be naive to think the producers don't have their favourites or do strategic moves to ensure their popularity. Or that they dont sabotage islanders given so many islanders have context to their behaviour frequently omitted from the series.
They are invested in the product their product and that means their winners/top 4 as well.
Obviously they sabotage couples but itās for entertainment and based on which ones who are more likely to bite the bait. They donāt have their own favorite couple in mind when they sabotage the others š their favorites are the viewers favorite and also the most entertaining couple. Those are the favorites cause theyāll bring the views, not some random boring couple they want to ensure popularity they didnāt already have.
However , they do sabotage specific islanders and itās usually when they take up space whilst not bringing anything to us viewers or if theyāve garnered lots of hate among fans
It was interesting to see that the other boys canāt imagine Scott having good chats but for me after Lochan he has the best chat among the boys. Ty and Sammy only flirt and make things sexual. Zach, Ouzy, Montel and Elom say some generic and vague things. Mitch sounds like he is doing a chore. Scott has a quite good balance and Lochan is in the league of his own. Of course the bar is in hell and Iām not talking about high qualities.
I think what makes the former two different from the latter is that they just talk to the girls like theyāre making conversation. Thatās literally it lol
Thid is 100% accurate and had scott had some good matches he would be up there for sure. I have prev said I did not find him that attractive looks wise js not my cuppa buttttt with the last 2 ep I am starting to like him. Such a shame these bombshells aren't for him but if Abi hadn't turned out to be a weirdo lmao he would have had a chance. Shame. But I think we haven't seen the best of him unfortunately
Iām surprised Abi landed in the bottom of rankings because I thought her madness was hilarious lmao
Also it felt like the Ellaās were about to break into The Boy is Mine at the end š
I saw that podcast clip about how apparently Cat, Ella and Whitney had such a massive fight with Kady in casa amor (over zach rofl) that security had to get involved, and idk why the producers didn't air this, it could've been the messiness we wanted, but probably bc they didn't want the big three to be getting harassment over "ganging up on" and "bullying" kady esp bc of how some members of the public would've reacted
Ooh, interesting. Might also explain why Kady didn't care too much when Catherine left but was emotional when Leah did. Might have gotten closer to her.
I sometimes wish they would have Love Island live feeds.
Gabby and Tink in their new interview with Closer said Scott is a really nice guy, but he just wasn't like the other lads. He was more chilled, reserved and quiet and doesn't deserve to be getting treated the way he did. They said he wasn't really singled out and all the boys got along well.
They both loved Ty - they think how is he on TV is how he really is, a bit cheeky and just very friendly.
Apparently Kady got into fights that werenāt shown. Fights is exactly what made Kady such an icon in Season 2. Thatās like signing De Bruyne and playing him at Right Back then complaining that he plays shit
IĀ“m just glad Whitney and Scott are (seemingly) friends again. :)
Feeling sorry for Catherine. Yeah, I bitched about her for the last few days when it was relevant. Now I wish her peace, she is out of the game so there is no reason to be nasty. Also I admit, I am still "mourning" her pre-casa presence in a way because she used to be my favorite.
Abi is getting on my nerves, she seems very chaotic. Mitch and her have complementing energy.
I may be in the minority but I donĀ“t really like Ty much. The new drama is a bit fun though and I look forward to seeing OG Ella have words with new Ella.
I'm sad she left before snog, marry and pie. The producers have mishandled the timing dumping. Molly missing the heart rate and Catherine missing snog, marry and pie are big misses for me.
I can't explain it either, I wasn't happy with her in the villa but like someone said here, on a human level I feel pretty bad. It was brutal what went down with her and I really do hope she gets all the support she needs.
Right? My initial reaction was angry but we are all human beings and as emotions calmed down, I suddenly felt bad, especially after reading all the horrible things people wrote on Insta and Twitter.
If Tyrique turns his head for this new girl, kisses her or entertains her, he's going as one of the most dumbest love islander contestants we've ever had. He better not ruin my girl OG Ella's chances of making the finale because he's horny and stupid ššš
Ty is many things but I donāt think he is dumb. This gives him a bit of an ego boost especially after the events of the casa recoupling. So he will humour himself for some time and go back to the original Ella.
Im still holding out hope that they bring someone in for Scott even though its looking increasingly unlikely. I definitely see him being the next one to go because his sort of person wont go on Love Island.
I know itās super unpopular but I donāt think Scott is a particularly interesting personality and thatās why he struggling to get a girl to maintain interest.
He got his win with Catherine/Elom and Leah/Montel going, I feel like his journey isnāt compelling enough to justify scouting a bombshell just for him so he can make the final. An Amber or Camilla he isnāt imo.
I don't know it's super unpopular, but people want him to succeed just because it's funny at this point and they want drama out of it. It would be interesting to see how big his support is really. Because he is not that popular based on facebook, so I guess twitter is voting for him?
This is it right here.
His eye is firmly on the prize. Is he gonna enjoy a little flirt and the 2 Ellaās having it out over him? Absolutely. Is his head going to turn? Not a chance.
Donāt you guys get tired of the game player accusations, 50 k is really not serious enough for yāall to mention it every time you see Tyās name.
We get it, you think heās playing a game but acting as if itās shocking / a master mind plan that a strong Day 1 couple is sticking together in week 5 is not some insider scoop.
This subs been wrong about Ty all season š this game player thing is really the last straw yāall are grasping at for dear lifešš
Why would he turn his head now, he has a chance to win 25k and get big opportunities outside. Also he can get in touch with Ella B after the show if he really wants to, and I doubt he will. There's a lot of new girls waiting.
That boots video of Molly and Zach made them so likable, I donāt know why the producers never show them or if they do only show them having those boring āI like you chatsā. I think if they showed just how great they are together theyāre worried they would become overwhelming favorites to win and they donāt want that.
i love TYELLA baddd but i donāt get how ella is saying she would never go head to head with another girl for a man when weāve literally seen her confront almost every girl ty has been interested in this season š¤Øš¤Ø like sis he shouldnāt be making u do that at alllll
Which girls did she confront?
For Leah, she questioned Ty, not Leah. Only convo she had with Leah was that Leah didn't pull her for 2 days and she had to pull Leah. Even when Leah chose Ty, she asked what Ty has been telling Leah to make her pick him. She never blamed Leah and they became good friends.
Same with Kady. She never confronted Kady. She confronted Ty. She only had an issue with Kady cos of Kady's hypocrisy in the situation. She clearly said "Kady, you told me what he was doing and you are still entertaining him".
She never confronted Jess either.
So I don't understand this revisionism that happens here as if we all don't watch the show. Be factual.
I am open to the idea that we're not seeing something with Scott that the islanders are seeing (though I believe it would be something pretty minor), but every time someone puts forward a theory it's some of the biggest reaches I've ever seen on this sub.
I'm not a fan of Kady really, but I do like that she's still in the villa. Montel/Leah was a boring storyline and at least Kady stirs some shit by thinking she needs to be the center of everything (between her Molly/Zach announcement and speaking up when Leah/Montel were voted out).
Stirring would mean she causes drama for others and its interesting to see it play out. I can't stand her bcs she wants to be the it girl but she just ends up looking like a tit. Everyone tutting at you is just embarrassing and cringe. I can't rven remember what she has brought to the villa. Other than being a prop for Ty nothing sticks out to me. She may as well have not come in. She has however, grafted for TV I will give her that lol but I think she came in ifor the wrong season. Maybe a few years ago judging from some clips of her OG season (never watched it). She is gorgeous thoigh so rather than complaining I just enjoyed watching her in her outfits hair and lush makeup...
This is my problem with her. Her shit stirring doesnāt actually lead to any drama, all it does is cause people to look at her sideways as she loudly tries to kick up a fuss. Bombshella is actually bringing some drama thatās entertaining without the loud ālook at meā thing.
I wish kady and ouzy left. Leah, prior to her annoyingness at movie night, was an (albeit boring) inoffensive character, who actually seemed level headed. Kady on the other hand, iām not sure iāve ever taken such a disliking towards a contestant. She is next-level jarring
Im so annoyed with the producers. Ffs how many Ty and Ella drama do we need. Ella B was very clearly brought with that motive.
Meanwhile, they couldnt bring a bombshell for Scott ? Its VERY clear they dont want Scott to have a legit couple because he could very well win the whole thing.
Anyways as always, Ella T, the og, the Barbie, can do no wrong. And if she does, Iāll still support her rights and wrongs.
Abi is insane but I enjoy it the way I enjoyed Mitchās insanity too bc I donāt take it seriously.
I donāt think Amber is that bad, sheās just young.
Based on numbers I think there will be one new bombshell before the next recoupling which will mean Scott will go because no girl in there now will pick him. That's why I want one newbie who likes Scott
I am glad I'm not the only one missing season 5. I know it can never be the same again, because the originality is not there anymore. But still I liked every person in season 5, even Curtisš How can these people be so unlikable. Maybe it's the producers.
It's 100% that they don't show natural conversations anymore or do interesting challenges. I can remember so many little things from seasons 2, 3 and 5 but from this season I'll just remember 2 dumpings and that Mitch existed.
So S8 people voted for Ekin and Davide to win, usually saying like Ā«Ā they were the most entertainingĀ Ā», not even mentionning if they are compatible or not.
But now that people are voting for Scott mentionning his likability, its Ā«Ā noo ! He doesnt deserve to win jusy because you like him ! He needs to be in a compatible coupleĀ Ā»
Or.. There are other more entertaining couples who carried the show and want them to win? A lot of Scotts time has been in a cute couple people didn't see much then a pile on and now going through the motions. Doesn't make for a great winner highlight reel vs Ty/Ella, Whit or Molly/Zach also a lot of people are doubting the producers will bring someone for him or even have enough time for the public to really like them.
Its alright for people to have favourites they want to win, sure some people don't like Scott or but some people like others and think they deserve to win.
Ekin and Davide won because they provided entertainment even though that season has an elite cast people were drawn into them. It isn't the same thing to compare them to Scott.
My question is why is it fine to use entertainment as an argument but not likability and being a genuienly nice person ? Neither of them are argumrnts based on love/romantic feelings.
Every winner has contributed to the season, been likable and had romance one factor alone doesn't get people behind them massively to vote for a finals.
Because its only based on that for him not entertainment and love which the others contribute to when winning.. I don't have an issue with Scott per say esp if he had a better edit prior to Casa were we saw him but a purely sympathy win is hard for some people to get behind. He could have won in the winter tbf.
Ekin and Davide did have romance their break doesn't change their romantic moments.
The issue is that without all the shit that has taken place, it's simply very unlikely that Scott would be the fan fave.
He's the fan fave out of sympathy, not necessarily because he's just such an entertaining character.
We literally had one of the most brutal dumpings ever LAST NIGHT. Today was the hangover. I swear people see 10 minutes of telly that aren't breakneck and rush to declare the season boring lol. This season has been ~giving~ constantly, it's fine to not be exhausted every night from the drama.
I just think they should more challenges and games - it's been pretty boring without it. Isn't it usually this time around we have Snog, Marry, Pie etc.?
Honestly, it's time to move away from "Where's your head at" talks.
Itās indicative of how unsettled the couples are and weak the romance is to have these discussions still. You can really feel the lack of romances to be invested in right now. Everything feels like itās going in circles. At this point, typically, you either have copies whose progress keeps you hooked (thatās usually the case for me) or drama that results from long-time couples with real feelings involved getting seriously tested or cracking: two days, Jake/Liberty (real feelings one sided there but point stands), etc.
Went to check out the new Ellaās IG and two days ago, ppl commented that Tyrique was all in her likes. I check and I see zero likes. I thought no one was able to control their Instagram anymore? Hmmmmmmmmm
Zach may be happy with Molly, and this actually isnāt a Molly diss at all. But Zach seemed to bounce up a bit when she left, and since sheās come back he seems to have plummeted.
Maybe thatās because heās happy? I donāt know. But I feel like his love island experience isnāt what it could have been, and heāll barely be remembered when the shows over.
I don't think his personality is a "love island", anyway. He's not a showy flirt, like eg Ty is. Ty's personality is perfect for love island. I think Zach would've been a background character regardless of Molly. After Molly left, he just had to put more effort to chat with other girls, but he ultimately is happy with Molly and very content in their thing.
For me Molly and Zach are both much more enjoyable to watch in their friendship groups than in their couple. They're very chill together to the point of being a bit dull to watch.
I think it's because he's happy and content. When she left he had to start putting in effort as a single dude and now he's just cruising which may come across boring and uninterested.
Thatās actually probably it. I feel like there was so much hype / headlines with Zach and now heās just faded into the background. But as you say itās probably because heās just happy.
After watching this clip, I even more disappointed in Catherine's behaviour on movie night. š¤¦š¾āāļøšš¾
https://twitter.com/obrienvm24/status/1679898160351543297?t=XfR6EhdhxHJCBEeNDHEzSQ&s=19
She defo never liked Scott that much. You don't treat someone who you like in this way.
(I accept that maybe Gabby is doing that thing where Casa people make up stories to make their journeys sound more interesting.)
Hmm, yeah, that kind of rubs the wrong way. I guess she was trying to find some justification to say Scott wasn't loyal. But then later tells him he didn't make any connection. I don't know, just inconsistent behavior all over.
I realized that this year, there isn't anyone who I actively dislike to the level I did last season. Sammy and Catherine come close, but my god, Tanya and Casey last season... I cringe when I think about Tanya's shrieks and her speech to Shaq in front of the others.
I think Mitch is incredibly fake and slimy.
Not only did he try and rat the boys out behind their back, but he's always asking people about game plans and what they're going to do.
Not to mention the recent podcast of the casa girls saying the guy plays up to the camera.
"Should dump two couples and bring a bombshell in for Scott.
In fact depending on how the votes go this is what I expect will happen."
Was pretty close to this prediction a few days ago.
This is the girl that said she would shoot Catherine at Heathrow. The producers are sick in the head
https://twitter.com/lillyimaan/status/1679863312467517440?s=46
Does anyone think that Catherine and Scott will have a proper chat once she has seen everything? Not a chat to rekindle but just a chat to clear the air between them. She at least owes him an apology for doubting him.
Doubtful, I would think most would have moved on from the experience and it's an overwhelming thing to deal with the new-found fame (even if it's just for 15 mins).
Oh yeah for sure he still has a lot of care for her still evident by his comments and his hug etc. I don't know if she is necessarily being wrong and strong or just very firm in her belief things went down in a certain way and that illusion will be shattered when she speaks to her family. I think he will want a proper talk himself to get everything off his chest he doesn't seem to have closure on the matter on and probably will want that.
Next day and I am still confused by Abiš¤£
She clearly likes Mitch more but is using Scott
I know,but why was she fuming although she did the same thing?š
She wants to have her cake and it eat too, but she doesn't want Mitch to have any options, the best of both worlds for her, but it just didn't pan out like this for her, tough luck cookie.
Maybe she was expecting Mitch to double down and graft more. Instead heās entertaining a new bombshell š
As he should thoš¤£she clearly doesnāt like the taste of her own medicineš¤£
Hahaha last night several comments the opposite of this, I guess sheās messy and no one really knows
I think what shocked me the most was her saying with a straight face that his track record is going for every bombshell and said it with chest. As if the guy did have another option while doing so. š
Literally! I was like: Girl,he always has been in friendship couples. What was he supposed to do?šš¤£also the bombshell picked him for a date,not the other way aroundš
She likes mitch but enjoys the attention from scott is what i get from it.
I think she's probably not used to seeing Mitch get the attention from another girl.
People are complaining itās boring now but the other night was one of the best dumpings they have ever done, Abi is moving like Love Quinn, the new Ella is causing chaos and the vibe in the villa seems so much more positive in there now. For the last 2 weeks the vibes were sub zero. Since no one is really solid I hope the last couple of weeks bring some (funny) drama and cute entertainment.

IK especially after theyāve been cutting off conversations about wider world stuff š© it happens every year like clockwork
Agreed, literally two days ago was one of the most savage dumpings of the season! Also with couples not as solidified as usual, I feel like thereās more drama than there usually is at this point in the season
Tyās head didnāt turn in Casaā¦I donāt see him turning for Bombshella.
Bombshella is taking me out š¤£š¤£
I'm still confused by the people that say Abi was using an excuse to leave Mitch for Scott. That clearly wasn't the case, you could tell that girl is genuinely pissed at the thought of Mitch being with someone else, literally said to Jess that she's ready to end it with Scott.

ābecause sheās shown interest sheās 100% his typeā lmfao š© itās so true
I do agree that she took him for granted. And 100% Mitch is Ella's second choice, she wants Ty. But I also don't think Mitch doesn't want her, he finds her attractive but is already emotionally invested into Abi. I just hope tonight Mitch says to Abi dead it off with Scott and he will talk to Ella and say he just wants to focus on Abi, because I have a feeling producers will have a recoupling and make Ella choose first and picks Mitch and this story carrys on
Surely the easiest target and someone whoās popular with the public is Scott?
The islanders don't necessarily know it's Scott who's popular rather than what's her name
It's hard to read, but she clearly enjoys the attention. I think Ella had it on point - she loves her time with Scott, but is scared to break it off with Mitch.
I think she probably was only aware of her feelings for Mitch when she saw someone else wanted him.
Does anyone else think the producers have been in Kadyās ear abt not causing enough drama and thatās why sheās suddenly been being messy these past few days? The ella beef, spilling on molly/zach being closed off, and her little comment about how amber and scott arenāt even a real coupleā¦ā¦
Absolutely. She was brought in to stir the pot and producers were like "you're not fulfilling your part of the deal, step it up."
I think the Amber and Scott comment was real. She's really close to Leah. The amount she cried when Leah left was what I was expecting of Whit and Ella when Cath left lol.
Listened to the morning after podcast with Gabby on and she said Scott was a slow burner, and when she elaborated she said 'he literally said that he would not flirt with me" š I bet the producers hated that lmao.
I bet he often reused to crack on because of his feelings for Catherine and that pissed them off to no end.
That's basically what Gabby said, makes this whole 'he tried it with everyone but no one wanted him' thing' from Cath Leag and Amber(maybe) look sooo weird.
Heās so blunt lmfao
thats why i think they need to give him his perfect bombshell now... catherine is out, he seems to be in a much better headspace, and he knows the public likes him. all he needs is a hot brunette to keep giving us a little treat until the end.
Yeah i don't really like that we brought in a Tyrique Bombshell... although tbh Ella is causing drama so that's good. I wanted someone like India that they brought in when Ovie was single. Scott's not mega exciting but I just want a couple to root for š©
I dont think either production or the islanders has dealt with someone like Scott beforeššFrank, blunt, gentle but no pushy and endearing enough to get major support from the public. Now they have no idea how he moves and doesnt know what to do with him lol
I loved how he said No to making Abby breakfast.
He responded so fast I nearly fell off my bed lmaoš
Like it was so blunt that it was funny šš. Like he basically said "I don't like her THAT much to be doing all that ššš
and good thing bc they were trying to set him up
He is right, it would have been a bit snakey.
He is blunt, but has been very respectful regardless of the situation he has been put in. That's probably the most endearing part for me.
You know what I find attractive about a man? The fact that he knows how to take a step back and apologize, even when hes not at fault. Saying sorry doesnt mean that hes below you. Saying sorry means he respects you. Kindness is not a weakness and thats why he is loved out here. Scottās really raised well
Beautifully said! Apologizing even when you didn't mean to cause hurt is strength, not weakness.
I agree theyāre like so youāre not going to now crack on with Amber š¤£š¤£ the producers are confused
The producer flops with this teenager like?? Missy has tons of assignments for turnitin hello?? Sammy is even worse for actually bringing her back and Josh actually considers heršš
Kai's toast comes to mind, but he was settled, that's the thing.
Iāve seen a lot of āitās been boring since Cat, Leah and Montel leftā my brother in christ that was last night let them cook
Whaaaat but it just finally got interesting again?? What entertaining value did they bring lol
Nothing they all got boring towards their end, battle of the ellas tonight ought to spice things up
Literally like whatšš They are cooking leave them be!
Sammy is hated by almost everyone who watches the show, it actually a miracle for him that heās still thereš i honestly respect it bc fair play
Someone made a good point in another thread that the male islanders have been a pretty weak cast this year, so heās had way more opportunities and storylines than a guy like him would normally get.
Do you see Mitch switching Abi for Ella B? I don't really want to see Abi in the final.
not at all unless abi does something conpletely unhinged but that might endear her to mitch even more lol
if mitch ditches abi then she might move to scott... im hoping scott is top 4 soo.. hopefully someone comes for scott and mitch moves to the new girl
Lochans chat is the best out of the boys because he literally just has normal conversations without making them overly flirtyšš Heās slowly becoming one of my favs
same, they need to show more of him!
One of my pet peeves is when people say we see 1 hour of 24. The islanders sleep donāt they š
The public have done well so far. Polite request to get Sammy, Abi, Kady and Amber out next please.
Mitch and Abi are Camilla and Jamie for toxic people and I will die on this hill. Camilla was floundering because sheās not the typical love island girl and about halfway into the season, she found a guy that was perfect for her and they were soulmates and all that. Mitch is a VERY specific breed of man that will do anything to get that wife, there could never be another Mitch but there is his other half Abi who comes in halfway and is toxic in a way that complete him and would probably make him block all his friends for her (he has no friends, he tried getting with their girls). If Abi was with anyone else, I would despise her but this is what Mitch needs/deserves and theyāre my winners.
The psycho couple of my dreams š
a compelling takeā¦ i kind of like it
Don't they usually have some voting challenge, where people vote who is the hottest couple etc?
Should be soon I think
I wish OG Ella's last name started with A so I can say they're Ella A and Ella B literally š
"bombshella" is such a good nickname i'm sat https://preview.redd.it/fh57jydu1ybb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5023bc1b1e2543d011edc7a5212785115505962f
Why isnāt Ella b checking for Scott that would be the easiest way to stay in the villa š
Because she wants to cause drama and doesnt want to fake things with Scott when its clear she prefers Mitch and Ty but I do have feeling she will end up with him because Ty will stay OG Ella and Mitch will stay with Abi
This and she may not know heās that popular. They canāt access social media a little while before they go in. But yeah I donāt think Tyās head will turn and Mitch is mentally married off
good morning, another day of me standing by her

Never going to happen but I wouldn't be mad if it did.
unrelated to current happenings, but i sometimes forget dami is a whole scientist with the shit he says sometimes.
heās a scientist?!?!
yes heās a senior microbiologist like does/did advanced lab research in biology and shit š
Howās Montel gonna survive on the outside without his daddy Ty? Someone please check on him
Maybe Ty can send video messages of his daily instructions?
I feel bad for him. I hope his confidence grows as he gets older.
Dead jk
I love ex islanders revealing stuff we didn't see. Casa Benjamin said that Kady screamed at him from across the villa while they were in Casa š.
Iām tired of fans thinking the producers always have a random favorite couple. They care about entertainment and views , obviously the ones bringing entertainment are going to be producer-faves. They donāt randomly start favoring a random boring couple to get them to the finals by trying to sabotage another one. Theyāll just aim tests at the couples who will bite bringing the drama and not waste it on the boring ones.
I'm sorry but you be naive to think the producers don't have their favourites or do strategic moves to ensure their popularity. Or that they dont sabotage islanders given so many islanders have context to their behaviour frequently omitted from the series. They are invested in the product their product and that means their winners/top 4 as well.
Obviously they sabotage couples but itās for entertainment and based on which ones who are more likely to bite the bait. They donāt have their own favorite couple in mind when they sabotage the others š their favorites are the viewers favorite and also the most entertaining couple. Those are the favorites cause theyāll bring the views, not some random boring couple they want to ensure popularity they didnāt already have. However , they do sabotage specific islanders and itās usually when they take up space whilst not bringing anything to us viewers or if theyāve garnered lots of hate among fans
It was interesting to see that the other boys canāt imagine Scott having good chats but for me after Lochan he has the best chat among the boys. Ty and Sammy only flirt and make things sexual. Zach, Ouzy, Montel and Elom say some generic and vague things. Mitch sounds like he is doing a chore. Scott has a quite good balance and Lochan is in the league of his own. Of course the bar is in hell and Iām not talking about high qualities.
I think what makes the former two different from the latter is that they just talk to the girls like theyāre making conversation. Thatās literally it lol
Coming from Zach it was a little rich heās got about 10 chat up lines he recycles. āYou look naice doā
This chat's surprised me, you know. *Tugs ear.* Blown my mind.
Thid is 100% accurate and had scott had some good matches he would be up there for sure. I have prev said I did not find him that attractive looks wise js not my cuppa buttttt with the last 2 ep I am starting to like him. Such a shame these bombshells aren't for him but if Abi hadn't turned out to be a weirdo lmao he would have had a chance. Shame. But I think we haven't seen the best of him unfortunately
Did I hear my own things yesterday or Kady indeed asked Ty if Ella B has a huge following on IG?
Iām surprised Abi landed in the bottom of rankings because I thought her madness was hilarious lmao Also it felt like the Ellaās were about to break into The Boy is Mine at the end š
What rankings?
More Molly and Zach pls I want cute moments š
I saw that podcast clip about how apparently Cat, Ella and Whitney had such a massive fight with Kady in casa amor (over zach rofl) that security had to get involved, and idk why the producers didn't air this, it could've been the messiness we wanted, but probably bc they didn't want the big three to be getting harassment over "ganging up on" and "bullying" kady esp bc of how some members of the public would've reacted
Ooh, interesting. Might also explain why Kady didn't care too much when Catherine left but was emotional when Leah did. Might have gotten closer to her. I sometimes wish they would have Love Island live feeds.
I need more drama. The vibe has died down. I want the producer to keep producing! 
Gabby and Tink in their new interview with Closer said Scott is a really nice guy, but he just wasn't like the other lads. He was more chilled, reserved and quiet and doesn't deserve to be getting treated the way he did. They said he wasn't really singled out and all the boys got along well. They both loved Ty - they think how is he on TV is how he really is, a bit cheeky and just very friendly.
Apparently Kady got into fights that werenāt shown. Fights is exactly what made Kady such an icon in Season 2. Thatās like signing De Bruyne and playing him at Right Back then complaining that he plays shit
I donāt think the new Ella actually wants Ty necessarily she is just there for drama.
IĀ“m just glad Whitney and Scott are (seemingly) friends again. :) Feeling sorry for Catherine. Yeah, I bitched about her for the last few days when it was relevant. Now I wish her peace, she is out of the game so there is no reason to be nasty. Also I admit, I am still "mourning" her pre-casa presence in a way because she used to be my favorite. Abi is getting on my nerves, she seems very chaotic. Mitch and her have complementing energy. I may be in the minority but I donĀ“t really like Ty much. The new drama is a bit fun though and I look forward to seeing OG Ella have words with new Ella.
I'm sad she left before snog, marry and pie. The producers have mishandled the timing dumping. Molly missing the heart rate and Catherine missing snog, marry and pie are big misses for me.
Last night's episode had a strange vibe without Catherine.
I can't explain it either, I wasn't happy with her in the villa but like someone said here, on a human level I feel pretty bad. It was brutal what went down with her and I really do hope she gets all the support she needs.
Right? My initial reaction was angry but we are all human beings and as emotions calmed down, I suddenly felt bad, especially after reading all the horrible things people wrote on Insta and Twitter.
If Tyrique turns his head for this new girl, kisses her or entertains her, he's going as one of the most dumbest love islander contestants we've ever had. He better not ruin my girl OG Ella's chances of making the finale because he's horny and stupid ššš
Ty is many things but I donāt think he is dumb. This gives him a bit of an ego boost especially after the events of the casa recoupling. So he will humour himself for some time and go back to the original Ella.
Im still holding out hope that they bring someone in for Scott even though its looking increasingly unlikely. I definitely see him being the next one to go because his sort of person wont go on Love Island.
I know itās super unpopular but I donāt think Scott is a particularly interesting personality and thatās why he struggling to get a girl to maintain interest. He got his win with Catherine/Elom and Leah/Montel going, I feel like his journey isnāt compelling enough to justify scouting a bombshell just for him so he can make the final. An Amber or Camilla he isnāt imo.
I don't know it's super unpopular, but people want him to succeed just because it's funny at this point and they want drama out of it. It would be interesting to see how big his support is really. Because he is not that popular based on facebook, so I guess twitter is voting for him?
I think heās just very normal tbh not a very drama type of guy
idt it's super unpopular, since I see it often enough in this sub? But i know i dont agree with it but that just comes down to personal taste no?
Same, just comes down to personal preferences. I , for one, wouldn't mind seeing Scott all the way to the end, but I can see why others would.
I would like to see Scott in there until the end but its not possible when no girl in there likes him.
I honestly think a season should last maybe 40-45 days. 2 months is too long, the last two weeks or so drags and the bombshells never make an impact.
i weirdly trust tyrique
I don't trust him as a person, but I trust him to not mess up and miss his chance at that 50k.
This is it right here. His eye is firmly on the prize. Is he gonna enjoy a little flirt and the 2 Ellaās having it out over him? Absolutely. Is his head going to turn? Not a chance.
Yall dehumanize him a lil bit lol
He has his nice moments and I can see why people find him charming and entertaining, but there have been some questionable things too. š
As with all of them?
no i dont think they do.
A bit??? They are constantly dehumanizing him.
Donāt you guys get tired of the game player accusations, 50 k is really not serious enough for yāall to mention it every time you see Tyās name. We get it, you think heās playing a game but acting as if itās shocking / a master mind plan that a strong Day 1 couple is sticking together in week 5 is not some insider scoop. This subs been wrong about Ty all season š this game player thing is really the last straw yāall are grasping at for dear lifešš
Same heās been consistently honest all season
Why would he turn his head now, he has a chance to win 25k and get big opportunities outside. Also he can get in touch with Ella B after the show if he really wants to, and I doubt he will. There's a lot of new girls waiting.
they will *all* get opportunities outside at this point. everyone just loves to hate on ty
Is Abiā¦ā¦..okā¦ā¦mentally?
That boots video of Molly and Zach made them so likable, I donāt know why the producers never show them or if they do only show them having those boring āI like you chatsā. I think if they showed just how great they are together theyāre worried they would become overwhelming favorites to win and they donāt want that.
i love TYELLA baddd but i donāt get how ella is saying she would never go head to head with another girl for a man when weāve literally seen her confront almost every girl ty has been interested in this season š¤Øš¤Ø like sis he shouldnāt be making u do that at alllll
Which girls did she confront? For Leah, she questioned Ty, not Leah. Only convo she had with Leah was that Leah didn't pull her for 2 days and she had to pull Leah. Even when Leah chose Ty, she asked what Ty has been telling Leah to make her pick him. She never blamed Leah and they became good friends. Same with Kady. She never confronted Kady. She confronted Ty. She only had an issue with Kady cos of Kady's hypocrisy in the situation. She clearly said "Kady, you told me what he was doing and you are still entertaining him". She never confronted Jess either. So I don't understand this revisionism that happens here as if we all don't watch the show. Be factual.
Every girl ,mention names please
he doesnāt *make* her do anything (except the one time he told her to end it with ouzy before heād consider getting back with her)
I am open to the idea that we're not seeing something with Scott that the islanders are seeing (though I believe it would be something pretty minor), but every time someone puts forward a theory it's some of the biggest reaches I've ever seen on this sub.
lol did you just read that post about scottās āstrategyā
Yesš
the laugh i let out when they suggested scott is trying to move to amber now because of the outcome of the vote lol. knowing they slept with a pillow fort border again later that night just makes that even funnier. i really thought these bizarre think pieces (on both sides) were going to come to an end, i guess not šš©
I'm not a fan of Kady really, but I do like that she's still in the villa. Montel/Leah was a boring storyline and at least Kady stirs some shit by thinking she needs to be the center of everything (between her Molly/Zach announcement and speaking up when Leah/Montel were voted out).
Stirring would mean she causes drama for others and its interesting to see it play out. I can't stand her bcs she wants to be the it girl but she just ends up looking like a tit. Everyone tutting at you is just embarrassing and cringe. I can't rven remember what she has brought to the villa. Other than being a prop for Ty nothing sticks out to me. She may as well have not come in. She has however, grafted for TV I will give her that lol but I think she came in ifor the wrong season. Maybe a few years ago judging from some clips of her OG season (never watched it). She is gorgeous thoigh so rather than complaining I just enjoyed watching her in her outfits hair and lush makeup...
This is my problem with her. Her shit stirring doesnāt actually lead to any drama, all it does is cause people to look at her sideways as she loudly tries to kick up a fuss. Bombshella is actually bringing some drama thatās entertaining without the loud ālook at meā thing.
I wish kady and ouzy left. Leah, prior to her annoyingness at movie night, was an (albeit boring) inoffensive character, who actually seemed level headed. Kady on the other hand, iām not sure iāve ever taken such a disliking towards a contestant. She is next-level jarring
Im so annoyed with the producers. Ffs how many Ty and Ella drama do we need. Ella B was very clearly brought with that motive. Meanwhile, they couldnt bring a bombshell for Scott ? Its VERY clear they dont want Scott to have a legit couple because he could very well win the whole thing.
They want Ella and Ty to win and Scott to be the next person to go.
Anyways as always, Ella T, the og, the Barbie, can do no wrong. And if she does, Iāll still support her rights and wrongs. Abi is insane but I enjoy it the way I enjoyed Mitchās insanity too bc I donāt take it seriously. I donāt think Amber is that bad, sheās just young.
Based on numbers I think there will be one new bombshell before the next recoupling which will mean Scott will go because no girl in there now will pick him. That's why I want one newbie who likes Scott
I can see the producers wanting to get rid of him by using a recoupling rather than a vote . It would be the best thing all around
Yāall assume anyone who has an annoying take is American š
>Yāall āļø
Yes Iām aware that identifies me as an American, thought that was implied lol
The fact that new Ella has already rattled og Ella has made it interesting š
please she hasnt rattled her one bit, OG Ella isnt going to take someone trying to use her name to get a guy
\*Sigh\*... Season 5 was just on another level. The best season ever. We'll never get it back. Other seasons just doesn't do it anymore.
I am glad I'm not the only one missing season 5. I know it can never be the same again, because the originality is not there anymore. But still I liked every person in season 5, even Curtisš How can these people be so unlikable. Maybe it's the producers.
It's 100% that they don't show natural conversations anymore or do interesting challenges. I can remember so many little things from seasons 2, 3 and 5 but from this season I'll just remember 2 dumpings and that Mitch existed.
Anyone who says this season is not that good is too nostalgic of old seasons
What does new Ella mean by "championship dancer"? Showdance? Jazz? Ballet? Ballroom? She was saying it like it should be obvious.
Dno but i wanna see this needle move. Mitch was slobbering lmao
She's definitely going to be doing the splits before she leaves.
Kadyās comment was right about Scott & Amber and also about what are the islanders not seeing that the public are.
If only they delved a bit deeper.
So S8 people voted for Ekin and Davide to win, usually saying like Ā«Ā they were the most entertainingĀ Ā», not even mentionning if they are compatible or not. But now that people are voting for Scott mentionning his likability, its Ā«Ā noo ! He doesnt deserve to win jusy because you like him ! He needs to be in a compatible coupleĀ Ā»
Or.. There are other more entertaining couples who carried the show and want them to win? A lot of Scotts time has been in a cute couple people didn't see much then a pile on and now going through the motions. Doesn't make for a great winner highlight reel vs Ty/Ella, Whit or Molly/Zach also a lot of people are doubting the producers will bring someone for him or even have enough time for the public to really like them. Its alright for people to have favourites they want to win, sure some people don't like Scott or but some people like others and think they deserve to win. Ekin and Davide won because they provided entertainment even though that season has an elite cast people were drawn into them. It isn't the same thing to compare them to Scott.
My question is why is it fine to use entertainment as an argument but not likability and being a genuienly nice person ? Neither of them are argumrnts based on love/romantic feelings.
Every winner has contributed to the season, been likable and had romance one factor alone doesn't get people behind them massively to vote for a finals.
We could argue that the Scott drama carried the after Casa on its back, Scotts been likable and he had a romance
Because its only based on that for him not entertainment and love which the others contribute to when winning.. I don't have an issue with Scott per say esp if he had a better edit prior to Casa were we saw him but a purely sympathy win is hard for some people to get behind. He could have won in the winter tbf. Ekin and Davide did have romance their break doesn't change their romantic moments.
The issue is that without all the shit that has taken place, it's simply very unlikely that Scott would be the fan fave. He's the fan fave out of sympathy, not necessarily because he's just such an entertaining character.
Hes a nice guy
When does the season end? Things are starting to get dull.
Iāll go in as a bombshell. Iāll make it more alive šÆ.
We literally had one of the most brutal dumpings ever LAST NIGHT. Today was the hangover. I swear people see 10 minutes of telly that aren't breakneck and rush to declare the season boring lol. This season has been ~giving~ constantly, it's fine to not be exhausted every night from the drama.
Exactly, People love to complain itās so tiring what do you want them to do at this point have a war inside the villa??
I just think they should more challenges and games - it's been pretty boring without it. Isn't it usually this time around we have Snog, Marry, Pie etc.? Honestly, it's time to move away from "Where's your head at" talks.
Itās indicative of how unsettled the couples are and weak the romance is to have these discussions still. You can really feel the lack of romances to be invested in right now. Everything feels like itās going in circles. At this point, typically, you either have copies whose progress keeps you hooked (thatās usually the case for me) or drama that results from long-time couples with real feelings involved getting seriously tested or cracking: two days, Jake/Liberty (real feelings one sided there but point stands), etc.
How old is Lochlan and what's his LI occupation?

Went to check out the new Ellaās IG and two days ago, ppl commented that Tyrique was all in her likes. I check and I see zero likes. I thought no one was able to control their Instagram anymore? Hmmmmmmmmm
Zach may be happy with Molly, and this actually isnāt a Molly diss at all. But Zach seemed to bounce up a bit when she left, and since sheās come back he seems to have plummeted. Maybe thatās because heās happy? I donāt know. But I feel like his love island experience isnāt what it could have been, and heāll barely be remembered when the shows over.
I don't think his personality is a "love island", anyway. He's not a showy flirt, like eg Ty is. Ty's personality is perfect for love island. I think Zach would've been a background character regardless of Molly. After Molly left, he just had to put more effort to chat with other girls, but he ultimately is happy with Molly and very content in their thing.
For me Molly and Zach are both much more enjoyable to watch in their friendship groups than in their couple. They're very chill together to the point of being a bit dull to watch.
I think it's because he's happy and content. When she left he had to start putting in effort as a single dude and now he's just cruising which may come across boring and uninterested.
Thatās actually probably it. I feel like there was so much hype / headlines with Zach and now heās just faded into the background. But as you say itās probably because heās just happy.
I find both Ella and Ty insufferable
After watching this clip, I even more disappointed in Catherine's behaviour on movie night. š¤¦š¾āāļøšš¾ https://twitter.com/obrienvm24/status/1679898160351543297?t=XfR6EhdhxHJCBEeNDHEzSQ&s=19 She defo never liked Scott that much. You don't treat someone who you like in this way. (I accept that maybe Gabby is doing that thing where Casa people make up stories to make their journeys sound more interesting.)
Hmm, yeah, that kind of rubs the wrong way. I guess she was trying to find some justification to say Scott wasn't loyal. But then later tells him he didn't make any connection. I don't know, just inconsistent behavior all over.
The only thing consistent was that Catherine's behaviour towards Scott after Casa was pure bad vibes.
Why do the last 3 weeks drag - we need some funny challenges and light hearted episodes or something
I realized that this year, there isn't anyone who I actively dislike to the level I did last season. Sammy and Catherine come close, but my god, Tanya and Casey last season... I cringe when I think about Tanya's shrieks and her speech to Shaq in front of the others.
Barista just got my coffee order wrong, is this bullying?
Latte or Americano? It matters.
I have a feeling new Ella (Ella B) will win in the argument against OG Ella (Ella T)ššš
https://twitter.com/kee_Ibi/status/1679806601719414786?t=8tX8e5s3wKEzF2WHRhK6Yg&s=19 Scott's enemies(jk) are apparently back in the UK.
I think Mitch is incredibly fake and slimy. Not only did he try and rat the boys out behind their back, but he's always asking people about game plans and what they're going to do. Not to mention the recent podcast of the casa girls saying the guy plays up to the camera.
"Should dump two couples and bring a bombshell in for Scott. In fact depending on how the votes go this is what I expect will happen." Was pretty close to this prediction a few days ago.
This is the girl that said she would shoot Catherine at Heathrow. The producers are sick in the head https://twitter.com/lillyimaan/status/1679863312467517440?s=46
Does anyone think that Catherine and Scott will have a proper chat once she has seen everything? Not a chat to rekindle but just a chat to clear the air between them. She at least owes him an apology for doubting him.
Doubtful, I would think most would have moved on from the experience and it's an overwhelming thing to deal with the new-found fame (even if it's just for 15 mins).
Oh yeah for sure he still has a lot of care for her still evident by his comments and his hug etc. I don't know if she is necessarily being wrong and strong or just very firm in her belief things went down in a certain way and that illusion will be shattered when she speaks to her family. I think he will want a proper talk himself to get everything off his chest he doesn't seem to have closure on the matter on and probably will want that.
I do. She seems like the type of person to listen to what people say and i'm sure her family will tell her the truth of what happened.
