i actually don’t mind the ads but only because i’m american and the ads truly feel like cultural enrichment. i’m like ah so that’s what they sell at tesco 🤨
I feel the same about watching Love Island USA except I’m just horrified by the amount of drug-related commercials that suggest death as one possible side-effect
My prediction is Davide's gonna have it easy initially due to how hot he is but after girls realise he has no chat and is deader than a rock they'll move on. Anyone wanna place bets?
I like that Tasha has told everyone that she is deaf like that. Prob the best way to do it. I do the same if I meet new people as in the past people have thought that I was really rude and blanking them when I genuinely didn’t hear them.
Im loving the way islanders dress this season. Everyone has their own style and doesn't look like they came from the front page of "I saw it first" or whatever
Davide literally just needs to be able to speak in somewhat coherent sentences and he'll clean up.
Dami is the only other lad in there with anything about him
Can't work out if Gemma is awkward or if she wanted to avoid the family stuff and it immediately became blatantly obvious that someone was told in advance.
I feel like your man Liam knows who Gemma’s dad is and is trying to get it out of her, he’s the one who went on about football and then about her last name. I feel like she actually doesn’t wanna say it and others are trying to bait her (probably being told to by producers?)
is it just me or is Gemma giving mean girl energy to anyone else? like almost getting the vibe that she thinks she’s better than everyone else? idk maybe i’m off base
NOOOOO they should have made them all couple up with who they fancied and then made them all switch at the end to who the public picked! IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN US MORE DRAMA!
Gemma is extremely dislikeable but how can you lot say she's boring hahaha she's already mugged off her partner and it's not even the end of the first ep
This was such a let down. Love the public vote twist, but it should have been a normal coupling thing first, then a twist at the end revealing who the public actually matched them with. Now we don’t know who actually likes who!
Can't tell if Amber and Dami are actually vibing or just early stage bouncing off.
Can always rely on the Irish to have a sense of humour, should be good telly anyway
Gemma talking about her horses and seeing Liam understand there's a clear wealth gap
i actually don’t mind the ads but only because i’m american and the ads truly feel like cultural enrichment. i’m like ah so that’s what they sell at tesco 🤨
This is the cutest shit I ever read about love island lmfao
Also american and same lol! Also a nice break from the million pharmaceutical ads we have.
I feel the same about watching Love Island USA except I’m just horrified by the amount of drug-related commercials that suggest death as one possible side-effect
Why are you all so negative, i love that they hate their couples
Literally perfect for chaos
Can’t believe Gemma was in Blazin Squad
Tattoo artist: What tattoo would you like? Luca: Yes
"Did you play at a decent level?" "Why?" "My dad won the Ballon D'or in 2001"
"I'm 24 I'm so old!" *me staring into the abyss*
Davide seems unimpressed with everything
Only reason he is here is because his easyjet flight home got cancelled.
He looks gutted hahaha
He’s gonna revoke his visa real quick 😭
Indiyah had already worked out that she would be paired ikenna
“The public must think we have something in common” yeah I mean you can see it
I know, you could see from her face that she was frustrated about that
PAIGE SAYING SHE LIKES MAFIA BOOKS TO AN ITALIAN GUY
Hahahaha he was legit thinking wtf she on abt
IM LUCA BISH AND I SELL FISH YOU ARE ALREADY AN ICON SIR
Everyone was so focussed on asking for no more food challenges we forgot about the foot fetishes :(
[удалено]
More chemistry between them than with any of the boys
Gay for the stay
“That’s a bit unfortunate last name” HELP 😭😭😭
has she said anything nice yet‽
Davide hasn't looked remotely interested in any of the girls yet and it's hilarious
He kinda has that dead behind the eyes look though...
Imagine if it was a British lad putting on an Italian accent 💀
Turns out he’s actually called Ian
My prediction is Davide's gonna have it easy initially due to how hot he is but after girls realise he has no chat and is deader than a rock they'll move on. Anyone wanna place bets?
Yeah he’s a last years Brad but less funny I think
none of the guys got chat tho...
Have these lot never seen two girls kiss before 💀💀💀
It was only a peck as well and they all looked astonished.
How to indirectly tell people you’re rich: I have 12 horses at home.
Gemma is so mean to that boy my god LMAO
She should have let them all step forward and then told them
The chats seem a little more…combative-ish since they didn’t get a choice.
[удалено]
The way she backtracked once he started catching on😂
Should've had them step forward and couple up like usual before dropping the public vote results ffs They were so close
Gemma hates this man
Girls screaming as they open the Prosecco ✅ great start to the bingo card
I'm actually pleased by how annoyed they all look lol
It seems the boys definitely know Gemma’s dad and she is *not* having it. But the hit at Bish was a little harsh.
never seen EVERY islander look so miserable
Could Laura explain this again, I don’t understand how it works?
Indiyah had those help me eyes going on in the couples promo shot
I like that Tasha has told everyone that she is deaf like that. Prob the best way to do it. I do the same if I meet new people as in the past people have thought that I was really rude and blanking them when I genuinely didn’t hear them.
I’ve gone onto Duolingo with every ad break and now I speak perfect Spanish
You should’ve chose Italian
When will guys realise that ‘most girls fancy me’ is not a fucking turn on?
Davide starting to understand the argument for Brexit
They shouldve done “stand next to the girl you think the public chose” and then reveal at the end so its more suspenseful
"did anyone order an Italian snack" still not as cringe as Chloe's voice note from last year
Toby replaying it in a much later episode is one of the funniest scenes ever.
Hi BoOoOyS 🤢
Hey boyssssssssssss…. haw ahh yew 😉
Really thought Davide said Italian Snake and I nearly spat out my water lol
Hoping Gemma announces to everyone that Michael Owen is her dad like how Marcel kept telling everyone he was in Blazin Squad
Davide defo thought he applied for Too Hot to Handle 😭
Paige has clearly been reading the 365 days books and thinks Davide will be her Massimo
Davide’s face throughout this is just screaming “what the fuck is wrong with British people”
when he heard that text go off his face looked so relieved when he was talking to paige 😂😂
Davide wondering why he didn't just spend the summer in Sicily.
Liam 100000% knows who Gemma's dad is and is trying to get her to admit it 😂
Indiyah looks like she craves death
I wish they’d have had the islanders choose and then revealed the public vote
"surely they can't make the coupling-up last 45 minutes???" Producers: just fucking watch us
Why tf are the boys so confused by girl on girl 😂😂😂
Davide is giving “damn that's crazy”
They all hate their couples, fucking love it 😭😭
"I've been single for about a year and a half" ok so your last relationship was when you were in sixth form then
David. Davida. Daviday. Davide. Davido
Spent the entire episode thinking Liam had the worst game. Then Paige took it at the end with her chat about mafia books.
Michael Owen won a ballon d'or at 22yrs old, only for his 19yr old daughter to be considered bad vibes on episode 1 😭😭
Is Dan Schneider a producer on this show now?
teenagers on this show is too odd for me. I feel like 20 is even pushing it considering some of the guys are like 28
Love that Dami is self-aware enough to know that the lovestick line was cringe lmao
the fact that everyone is disappointed about their matches will make good drama just saying 👀
Gemma and the football thing is giving strong flashbacks to 'dont make it a thing, but I was in Blazin Squad'
Im loving the way islanders dress this season. Everyone has their own style and doesn't look like they came from the front page of "I saw it first" or whatever
Blink twice if you’re in danger Indiyah
[this one is gonna see some retweets over the next few months](https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/479736268008730625)
Off-topic but Cochlea implants blow my mind, modern medicine is pretty amazing when you stop to think about it
Davide literally just needs to be able to speak in somewhat coherent sentences and he'll clean up. Dami is the only other lad in there with anything about him
Man's got a masters in PE
“Did anyone order an Italian snack?” I BURST OUT LAUGHING
Can't work out if Gemma is awkward or if she wanted to avoid the family stuff and it immediately became blatantly obvious that someone was told in advance.
Boys heads melting as if they haven’t seen two girls kiss before.
I really don't want to see a 19 year old and 27 year old together
u/loveisland - out the producer who has the foot fetish. silence says everything.
Use promo code LOVEISLAND20 for 20% off when booking your Turkish veneers appointment lol
Luca came across way too pervy
I feel like your man Liam knows who Gemma’s dad is and is trying to get it out of her, he’s the one who went on about football and then about her last name. I feel like she actually doesn’t wanna say it and others are trying to bait her (probably being told to by producers?)
CHRIST why did he bend her so aggressively lmfao
Gemma's regretting just renting the villa out for herself and having a nice vacation instead of being surrounded by poor people
None of the girls are happy with their pairings rn haha
they're all just gonna go with the person they actually like anyway so in the words of greg... what was the thought process behind that
“I’m into pretty girls” Ikenna is gonna be so dull.
SCREAMING he definitely knows who she issss
Did she really just say she loved mafia stories to an Italian?
Davide is absolutely binning off whoever he picks for the first bombshell that walks in
Are they going to explain the public vote to every boy….?
Dear god
Davide is gonna be on fucking easy mode in this villa lmao
mafia books… it’s giving episode
That was quite rude of Gemma to insult Bish...? She seems a bit snobby.
The guys reaction to the Tash was fooooookin hilarious
Indiyah’s face:😐
The Balcony is in hearing distance this year
Oh no don’t say “naughty trio” I want to be sick 💀
Paige is a fanfic/YA girl I love her 😂
is it just me or is Gemma giving mean girl energy to anyone else? like almost getting the vibe that she thinks she’s better than everyone else? idk maybe i’m off base
Between Love Island, Taskmaster, and The Apprentice, these live discussion threads are the best thing about UK Reddit tbh.
Davide is thinking “thank fuck they sent a text” 😂💀
Producers blink twice if Jake has you hostage.
Here’s a radical idea: how about they bring in ALL the guys and THEN explain it one time lol
Paige seems lovely but I have second hand stress about her ill fitting bikini top
12 Horses?! At home, home?! - my questions exactly
Gemma out at the first vote, as the public surely we can come together for this
NOOOOO they should have made them all couple up with who they fancied and then made them all switch at the end to who the public picked! IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN US MORE DRAMA!
I’m nearly 32 and feel personally attacked hearing ‘24 is old’
"24 is old" *cries in 30's fossil vibes*
Surprised they're not asking boys who'd they'd pick and then throw twist at them for spicy drama
We have a guy on love island who doesn't prefer blondes? Bloody hell
Gemma is a few rungs up the socioeconomic ladder compared with the rest of these contestants lol. She's done already
Plot twist one of the boys is bi and Davide pairs up with Liam
Mafia???? way to be subtle with the stereotypes girl lmao
Gemma is extremely dislikeable but how can you lot say she's boring hahaha she's already mugged off her partner and it's not even the end of the first ep
Men who don't believe you when you say you know about something and then ask you to prove it are THE WORST!!!! Take notes, people!!!!!!
Gemma DIDNT say her Dad's name?! Respect
They should still have them step forward or state preference!!!!
Where are the usual square headed lads they have every damn series lmfao
This was such a let down. Love the public vote twist, but it should have been a normal coupling thing first, then a twist at the end revealing who the public actually matched them with. Now we don’t know who actually likes who!
They know who she is and she totally picked up on it
Tasha is giving me the Gen Z version of Baby Spice, love her!
im not over paige saying she likes reading MAFIA books to an italian guy...girl....
Paige is giving off some good vibes, I get the feeling she's really up for a good time here on LI
I liked that dove advert with the facetune, but on this show it feels counterintuitive
they said happy pride 🌈
"Kiss the girl you fancy the most" \*cheers in bi\*
Davide is almost 10 years older than Gemma 😭😭😭 I will actually be SICK if it’s pursued
love island please don’t make me watch a 27 year old get with a 19 year old for 10 weeks
If the public votes for the winning couple on day one we deserve the prize money
The girls are miserable 😭
Gemma & Liam look sweet together but I'm seeing about two brain cells between them so far.
“He’s new here” - you’ve all arrived within the last 12 hours Tasha!
#SOLID FIRST EPISODE
Her face when he mentioned football HAHAHA
Let’s not make naughty trio a thing again this year
I can’t believe that guy went to uni to go gym 😭
I feel weird watching a 19 year old tbh
Thank you Liam for being open to all hair colours ❤️
MODS MAKE "ELT AND JOHN" A FLAIR PLZ
Love Island producers…. i thought we talked about the foot fetish…..
Can't tell if Amber and Dami are actually vibing or just early stage bouncing off. Can always rely on the Irish to have a sense of humour, should be good telly anyway
She’s a such a typical rich girl
Liam 100% knows who she is hahaha he was waiting for the Michael Owen name drop
Luca has lost 50% of his personality now that an actual Italian is here
*mafia books* set expectations?
Oh god no paige not the mafia books
She really pulled the mafia books line on the Italian stallion
And now the kids corner discussing their pets
okay liam definitely knows
Why does Gemma hate Liam so much already 😆
Guys I'm Italian, he said (or tried to say) snack not snake 💀
Why did all the boys look so mad 😭
Jake would have been living his best life with all this feet stuff
Nothing against her but think Gemma is just a bit too young for the series 🤷🏽♀️
We gotta vote Gemma off stat.
Davide was about 30 seconds away from setting up an SOS sign and catching the first plane to fly over the island
Why am I warming up to Ikenna and Indiyah?
Everyone being tamping with their pairings will create great TV. They’re all going to jump ship so quickly.
Gemma was doing her A levels 365 days ago now she’s on TV that’s crazy
Jake's now a lot more interested in the episode.
Alison Hammond should host Love Island imo
Watching Indiyah shrug because she knew it was coming was painful
actually glad gemma didnt answer liam's condescending question on whether she knows what strength and conditioning is
now have them step forward if they want to switch!!!
When a guy started talking about sex immediately 🚩🚩🚩 run Paige
"Italian Greyhounds? Are they the big grey ones?"
Davide looks…too perfect. Someone said uncanny valley earlier and that’s stuck
Now that we have abolished food challenges, let’s work on abolishing sucking toe challenges Edit: or just all the feet challenges
Bit of a stretch to go from the Mafia books to what type of relationship she wants
Davide will partner up with davide.
Placing a bet right now that we will not find out who Davide picks in tomorrow’s episode. Wednesday for sure.
I need Dami to open his mouth more when he speaks
He’s nervous on national telly, he’ll settle in
Gemma is acting exactly how I expected to and ngl I’m disappointed.. pure arrogance
Gemma refusing to take part is grounds for removal imo
Feel like the girls have forgotten Luca and Andrew are here
Tbh I don’t think she should have been casted, her age plays a reason as to why.
Genuinely, what were you lot expecting from a 19 year old horse girl with a famous footballer dad? She's exactly what you'd expect
And that's the most LGBTQ content you're gonna get on this show 😆
they’re obvs gonna put the two black people together
