god he looks so sleazy and grim.
I’m convinced Gemma just sees this as a casual holiday fling that’ll up her exposure on insta, boost her swimwear drop ship sales and springboard her into the next thing.
I don’t think she’s into Luca especially, but she enjoys the attention and love bombing and the safety fasttrack until the end, plus I reckon there is some sort of contractual agreement in place for her.
I think she’s trying to grin and bear it until the end of the show.
as for Luca, I don’t think he’s insecure at all. I think he’s very confident and knows exactly what hes doing. I think he’s hoping to get Gemma under his thumb and sees all the opportunity she offers and doors she’d open for him. THAT is what he’s obsessed with. When her conversations with other islanders highlight how possessive he’s being he gets angry and frustrated that his abuse as manipulation is out in the open. Gemma becomes at outlet for that. Why can’t she just behave how he wants her to? Why does she have to show him up like that? If she just acted like she was obsessed with him too then everything would be fine. How dare she not conform to how he expects her to behave?
