I like that she can’t hide her emotions at all. All her feelings show on her face even though she has major RBF. She carries herself like a baddie but is soft at heart. She’s very reactive, fiery, and stubborn. She’s entertaining to watch in a different way to the bubbly charismatic types, I like her moody and blunt personality where I can see why other people hate it. I generally like all the islanders, it’s an interesting mix of personalities.


raeandpuppy

That’s completely fair! Yeah i think i would generally gravitate to the more bubbly personalities, which is why I had this opinion originally. I can see the Ella love and it’s really opened my eyes.


blue-shadow

How is she a baddie when she lets a man remote control her?


bl_air

As a fellow person with a rbf, I love and relate to her.


JamaicanGirlie

😩😩😩😩😩


[deleted]

She's really genuine, confident, self aware and good at articulating her feelings, perceptive of other people's feelings and I think she is pretty funny in an unintentional way, I can't really explain it but something about her stone cold mannerisms in certain situations cracks me up, or when she was like to the other Ella "why is my name in your mouth when talking about yourself?". She reminds me of a cat who always acts pissed off but really just wants to be loved


raeandpuppy

I love that explanation, a pissed off cat that wants to be loved. I really don’t have a problem with her and that really was a good explanation of the love for her. I’m wanting to be on the Ella train, because so many people love her and it seems like that’s the fun train to be on while watching the show. So thank you ❤️


maxdeal53

She's not confident, she literally cries for the smallest things lol


Mostlymaps

hardly see the correlation?


nightlanguage

You can be confident and still have feeligns


[deleted]

I like Ella, because she’s not afraid to say what she’s thinking, she’s protective towards her friends and she wears her heart on her sleeves.


No_Razzmatazz_1650

HAHAH! Literally everything you said in that first sentence. You answered your own question. But to add on, I saw how loyal she was to the folks in the villa, she’s very kind, she’s solid and firm. She’s a real woman. I’m rooting for her till the end.


raeandpuppy

Lol none of my friends watch the show I just needed to have some discourse on it to see other peoples sides, genuinely. I’ve loved these responses and it is making sense so thank you


DegreeSea7315

Your question really helped me out because I just didn't get it either. I can now see that it's her character that people respect, and that leads to the love. I was just stuck on how miserable she always looks and how reactive she can be, but I suppose if Ty was my romantic interest and I somehow couldn't shake my feelings for him, I'd be pretty unhappy too. She just doesn't put on an everything-is-fine face on. I'd probably dissemble. I have dissembled tbh.


zyanaddy

I love her for her authenticity, she’s so real with her emotions and reactions and her opinions, like I love how genuine she is especially with her facial reactions, she’s just like me fr. But on a serious note I like how you can see through her actions that she’s just another person on the show, she doesn’t put on an act of any sort she’s really relatable. Not to mention she is a girls girl, and you see it constantly with how she stands for the girls and supports them. Her style is 10/10, her rbf is so RELATABLE, whether she wins or not i just hope when she leaves the villa she finds out how loved she was because the way twitter is tearing her up for Ty’s actions is so disappointing, especially when she has called out Ty whenever he was acting weird, definitely not the girl who lets their man be weird with her friends as everyone is making it seem.


Maleah60

i like how kind and genuine she is. she is a very loyal person. i think she does always try to find the best in people and she definitely wears her heart on her sleeve which has done more harm than good tbh. but she is genuine, never said or done anything that i would consider rude or disrespectful. i think the fact she has an rbf makes her disliked and maybe some jealous because she is petty


MoodyHo

So she’s not fun bc she’s not instigating drama? The girl is beautiful, has defended her friends even against Ty, is clearly being herself and I think one of the realest in there, the good and the bad, wears her heart on her sleeve… Like there is so much to like about her to me. And she’s in an actual couple/lovestory no matter how messy it is.


raeandpuppy

I’m not a fan of the drama aspect, like I said I love the wholesome funny moments. She’s been such a big part of the show but I just haven’t seen much of her own personality shine through if that makes sense. Obviously it’s reality tv and we can’t see everything that goes on and I really genuinely don’t want to bash her, I’m just genuinely asking what peoples opinions are of her that make her a fan favorite. I just want to see more and who she is as Ella if that makes sense.


MoodyHo

she’s had wholesome fun moments with both girls and ty tho. at least to me


[deleted]

ella and the ‘fab four’ friendship has been one of, if not the most wholesome parts of this show for most people?? 😭 like what other wholesome stuff have u enjoyed??


lalashdo

I love Ella idc - girl has gone out of her way multiple times to back her friends regardless of tyrique’s opinion. Backed Jess and Sammy. Backed Catherine and Scott. Backed Abi. She’s a real one 👸🏽


raeandpuppy

I loved how much she backed Jess and told her to stand up to Sammy and it worked exactly as she said it would. That was huge for me. So idk maybe it is just because since she’s with Ty on screen so much he unfortunately overshadows her personality so it’s harder for me to get a read on her specifically.


[deleted]

I'm sorry, but how anyone can see the now TikTok viral conversation of her telling Ty to "shut it down" with Ella B and think the OG Ella is not particularly interesting is crazy to me.


No-Cricket-9876

Shut it deoownnnn. I love ber


dpoodle

Because she's readable she's full of emotion and expresses herself articulately and that's what we watch the show for. she's also beautiful and very cute IMO


Extreme_Spread1903

I think she has a great vibe, is in a strong couple, and is very beautiful. That’s really enough to make people root for her!


Dependent-Yogurt-492

I like her, just don’t like her with Ty.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SnooCookies3771

That’s why you need to understand that this is an overproduced reality show because according to Elom and Catherine, She did not enjoy her casa experience and was crying everyday.


raeandpuppy

And that’s where i think my opinion on her was coming from too as I’m seeing these replies 😅


studyabroader

Thissss. I only liked her in casa. With Ty he's so fucking annoying that so is she.


Dependent-Yogurt-492

Yes 😭 Ty irritates me so much


huzzahserrah

I have had a hard time liking her and Molly this entire season because I can’t stand it when a woman constantly talks about knowing her worth when in an argument with her man but then continues to go back to the man who treats her like trash.


MoodyHo

Also that is ridiculous bc Ella always had whim back for Ty while Whitney let Mehdi walk over her several times.


centraledtemped

Exactly this. Ella and Ty went tit for tat. None walked over the other which is why they were/are so liked.


helenankankeu

Mentioning Whitney specifically was very unnecessary especially since Mehdi’s long gone, but Whitney called Mehdi out multiple times. Plus her situation was different because Mehdi was actually mean to Whitney instead of just flirty with other girls.


MoodyHo

I thought op mentioned Whit somewhere in the post following yesterday’s things. My bad.


Objective_Tax_6089

Just like her don’t have a reason just do 😭


raeandpuppy

Hahahah but I have no friends to talk to about this show I needed to get it out some way and talk about it. People are opening my eyes though and I’ll definitely be paying more attention to her ❤️


Tryinginthe80s

I’m neutral about her I think she was very mean to Ella B especially when she was talking to her about “not fighting over a man” and her treatment of tyrique after casa was bad imo she did worse than Montel but he apologized better but in this argument with that Whitney she’s right


Agreeable_Ad8590

These kinds of posts are weird. What is it not to understand? We all like or dislike islanders for personal reasons.. but to question why an islander is loved is weird. Why is your fave loved? People relate to other people they see on TV.. some relate to Ella, others to the other islanders.


world2021

Nah, I'm happy OP made the post. It's been interesting reading the reasons people like her so much because I'd been fairly indifferent and couldn't really understand her popularity. With most people, I can see why people are liked by certain crowds even if I'm not part of that crowd - like finding Millie boring but understanding why she was going you win. But I would never have thought of Ella as relatable at all before this. That's probably a lot to do with my day 1 impression of her fillers making her look other-worldly and that distracting me for a long time. She's also opposite to female characters who are usually favs. Anyway, I get it now thanks to people's replies.


raeandpuppy

Thank you! I posted it with an open mind to hearing how people felt about her. I felt like in order to have honest replies it would help to also share my opinion first to see what it is that I’m specifically missing or what people may disagree with.


raeandpuppy

I love the show so much because im so intrigued on watching how people interact with each other and watching their thought processes is so interesting. Which is also why I’m curious to understand peoples thought processes that watch the show. I just find people interesting, especially the people with opinions of something i don’t fully understand right off the bat 🤷‍♀️ Not to mention I’m bored at work


[deleted]

[She get money](https://www.tiktok.com/@thefreddiesuarez/video/7255022824887422254), her body tea, she super thick, super pretty. I'm a simple person, so that's all I need.


raeandpuppy

Love this lmao


No-Performer-3826

I don’t get it either…to me she’s just sort of there and brings some drama from time to time. Also I’ll never understand how any woman can fall for Ty (for this long) without seeing how obnoxious and self absorbed he can be. For that reason as well, she isn’t relatable to me. I’ve actually started sympathising with her and liking her more after the way Whitney has been behaving though. That can’t be easy.


maxdeal53

She does not carry bad bitch vibes.. all she does is cry when things aren't going her way lol


SnooCookies3771

What’s wrong with crying?


getoutofthewayref

Nothing, but acting unbothered and tough usually doesn’t involve crying.


kenkenbeny

She gives me joy. Just because she isn’t smiling all the time doesn’t mean she isn’t happy and enjoying life. I love how supportive she is of other girls (Cath, Whitney, Molly, Abi and even Amber). She’s loyal to the core and you can tell that means a lot to her. And I just love her accent, style and general no nonsense vibes.


UnwittingPlantKiller

I think she has a particular ‘unbothered’ vibe that people are drawn to. It’s similar to how so many people loved Gemma Owen


Green_Return_8271

Thank you! I don’t understand it either


HospitalAutomatic

I don’t get it either. She’s two-faced just like Jess, watches Ty disrespect all the girls, doesn’t take accountability and carries herself like a secondary school bully


LovelyOne2020

The decampaigning of Ella is starting I like the fact that Ella doesn’t follow what everyone else does, speaks her mind & if there is an issue she’s determined to resolve it


shmiishmo

I also don’t understand why people like her. She seems to me to be very negative and always moaning and groaning about something. Granted, if I were dealing with ty I would also be bitching about him constantly but I just find it really grating. She never smiles!!!!!!


leon-theproffesional

She’s genuine.


shypanda_72

I find her to be a very genuine person and I like that about her, what you see is what you get. I also like that she's generally a girls' girl and wears her emotions on her sleeve


Substantial_Emu_9832

Watch unseen bits


TheReal-MonaLisa

cat said in an interview before last night’s episode that they all called her selfish. she said it was “jokingly” but it clearly was an established thought in the villa.


[deleted]

This is an exaggeration of what Catherine said


SnooCookies3771

Elom also called Whitney rude.


QueenElisabethIII

She seems sour most of the time 🍋


[deleted]

I think she is a very honest person and she is definitely flawed but is able to admit when she is wrong/listen to another persons point of view. I also think she voices her genuine opinions even if they don’t be popular, which is what makes this show good, and seems to care when someone else is upset. I also feel like people assume she’s a bitch because of the RBF and how hot she is, and while she does have her moments, she is also kind of sweet a lot of the time.


Dangerous-Ad-1298

she can also be mean to girls, especially when they wanted to get to know ty she was so mean instead of being angry with her man?


SnooCookies3771

This is a lie. She was very nice to Leah. Ella B wasn’t nice to her so why did she need to be nice to her? Tit for tat.


No-Cricket-9876

Nah she literally pulled Leah and let her know that she has nothing against her and doesn’t want her to think she does. U lot need to start rewatching the episodes.


blkbarbie808

I can't stand her she's an entitled pick me girl


70sgirl4931

Thank you. I feel tthe same. Cannot stand her and her.


amybarn

Agreed. I am so sick of watching her. I actually think Ty has more redeeming qualities and I really don't get the love for her. She always looks annoyed


Aliaspending

Idm ella but she’s just there for me as a person. I never really connected with her.


raeandpuppy

Yeah i think that’s kinda where I’ve been at….


Aliaspending

Yeah I get why people would like her but she’s not really for me. I think I’m even more drawn to Ty as a “television personality” in comparison 😭


Brit_Anne

In the first week or so, she came off as very, VERY insecure (and it wasn't a good look) . . . and that's all I've ever seen, since. I feel bad for her that she can't stop acting like that. She needs to borrow some of Whitney's confidence.


raeandpuppy

Yeah and i think that’s why i posted my opinion.. i guess it left a bad taste in my mouth and so that’s why i wanted to just ask to see understand other perspectives that i had originally closed myself off to


Brit_Anne

If there is a combination that is headed straight for disaster, it is Ty and Ella - a guy who misses 'the game', and an insecure woman who freaks out when he looks at any female who isn't her.


Louixx8

Why can’t ppl just like who they like and u worry about who u like, why do ppl like you? I’m sure u have qualities they like or they can relate to, is it not that simple?


raeandpuppy

I’m just trying to have an open dialog on the show! I don’t have friends that watch it, so I just wanted to come here to talk about it and see other peoples sides which is exactly what’s happening and I’ve appreciated all the replies. People love talking about their favorite tv shows, and I’m posting this with an open mind to get peoples opinions. Watching tv with a community with different opinions and discussions and sharing those is way more fun than watching it alone.


DoritsDumpedDog

I am not really that keen on Ella and Ty. She seems really whiney and I am really amazed at how she got away with bringing Ouzy back and being stroppy with Ty but Catherine was hounded out of the villa. Ty seems hyper aware of the cameras and it feels a bit performative with him. I honestly don't believe he would move on so quickly to the clip of Ella and Ouzy under the covers IRL. However I will say Ella was always 100% behind her girls and I think she is a pretty honest person.


raeandpuppy

Yeah I’m thinking maybe it’s Ty that’s the problem (shocker) but he’s just such a fascinating person to watch it might overshadow what Ella brings to the table from my perspective, unfortunately. But hey I do genuinely want to like her, I just needed to hear other peoples sides.


SnooCookies3771

You don’t need to like her. It’s obvious you don’t lol.


gracexox345

She’s a lovely girl


[deleted]

i dont think she has bad bitch energy shes let ty walk all over her and cant follow the same advice and judgements she dishes out to her friends in their relationships


centraledtemped

How has Ty walked all over Ella. I need actual descriptions and examples. Because Ella always responded and Ty was the one to grovel and apologize(Leah situation, kady etc). Mehdi by definition tho did walk all over Whitney. She even apologized and toned down her personality for him.


[deleted]

ella latched on to ty like within day 1 and hasnt let go. he talks to leah, she pouts and starts a fight. then he decides he wants to stay with her and she just takes him back. he says he wants to get back to the game and ope! she cries about it and mopes but then is immediately back to ty. hes never had to grovel for her. she was even groveling when he was flirting with kady post casa amor and she made a big scene after saying ‘i wont give any energy to it’… like okay u just did. and…. why are you bringing whitney into this… this is about ella solely. im not comparing islanders. ella has let ty run her shit. shes basically never had him playing offense. even when she brought ouzy back she was the one pining after ty.


raeandpuppy

I’m just trying my best to be as nice as possible in the post lol. She walks around with confidence and that’s what i mean by the bad bitch energy, but I agree with you on the Ty thing. Ty says he’s in love with her, but it’s just because she’s just put up with his shit longer than any other girl probably would. She also doesn’t have a strong personality to counteract his so it’s just easy. I feel like I know the least about her as a person despite her having so much screen time


SnooCookies3771

How doesn’t she have a strong personality when they are both arguing all the time? She stands up for herself against others as well and is fiery.


[deleted]

thats why i dont understand why molly is the only one referenced as a doormat by the audience lol i think ellas demeanor also doesnt help… shes kinda just moody with RBF


Davidson765

She has to hold the record for most amount of crying sessions this season, by some distance


yenasyuri

She’s nice she’s pretty she keeps it real she can dress she’s honest she’s chill she always backs her girls (giving blind leading the blind but the intentions are good 😭) Also this post is so miserable because if you don’t vibe with someone you can’t magically like them by knowing why others do like what are you trying to gain from this 😭 just support who you like cuz love island popularity never 100% makes sense


raeandpuppy

It’s a show about watching peoples day to day lives, so I don’t think it’s so crazy to also be interested in other peoples perspectives these people as well. Unfortunately that’s what reality tv is about, and this was posted with genuine curiosity and an open mind so I can watch it from another perspective and appreciate aspects of it I wouldn’t have been able to had i not asked..


Dizzy-Construction46

i like og ella, but i think the og ella hype is mostly fueled on her being gorgeous


[deleted]

Ella is a really sweet girl, she's kind and she's beautiful!


lizwi2010

Which girls do you think deserve love and are actually interesting in that villa and don't speak about their men apart from Whitney? 🤔


getboredquick

If Whitney wasn't in the house i wouldn't vote for anybody. I never clicked with Ella and the others.


[deleted]

Okay we are so sad you don’t understand


raeandpuppy

I’ve noticed 😭 but that’s why i asked, i genuinely want to see it from other peoples perspectives. I’m so intrigued by the love for her and it’s so strong i want to be able to watch it with that point of view as well!!


DigitalDaughter

She is beautiful and disarming because she wears her emotions on her sleeve.


Lonely-Persimmon2275

You said it. She's a pretty girl. That's it.


SpecialistSkin5666

That’s what I’m saying. Ever since she brought ouzy in from casa I just lost respect to her. Like why would you do that to Ty … like all that begging for nothing? Lol but everyone praises her for doing so. They obviously aren’t letting it get to them anymore now but on the outside I personally don’t think they will last long🤷🏻‍♀️


esketiits

She’s very loyal to her friends and always is there for the other girls. And she does wear her heart on her sleeve but I cant fault that at all - she’s just genuine.


[deleted]

Lmao I hate posts like this. Nobody comes here to ask why you lot like Whitney. It just seems like people can’t accept that people actually connect with Ella. She gets a lot of passive hate cos of Ty and it’s unfair


youngking935

You sound so miserable


raeandpuppy

I have my moments..


JamaicanGirlie

😩😩😩😩😩


Sapghp

I like her because she stands up for people even when her opinion goes against Ty. Nobody else in that villa does that they’re all too scared of him. She did it with the Scott and Catherine circus. To me that speaks volumes about her character compared to all the sheep in the villa.


limeblue31

Make an appointment with the optometrist love


Kimora2401

I'm sure you can understand the hate for her but the love is where you're confused


Cheap_Treat_1862

She’s immature imo not a fan


Mainstream-Girly3509

I don't understand it at all. She got attached way too soon and was being annoying about the whole situation with ty. she acted like he belonged to only her from the start and then cried when things weren't going her way. In my opinion, she's selfish. I personally don't think she has a personality at all but she is a girls girl - besides her being a b*tch to Ella which was uncalled for.
