Winter Love Island 2023 #5

I find all this talk about "your type" so weird. I get having a preference but they talk about it like it's a set thing that if someone fits the right criteria then you'll fancy them but that's...not how it works? Surely you don't find someone attractive just because they have the right hair colour and shoe size? It isn't that prescriptive for most people that I know.

Oh I've just realised that this is why these women are flocking to Tom even though he's dull. Their "type" is tall so they get tunnel vision as soon as they see his height

How long till Lana is giving her recoupling Ron speech about their journey

 

[9Pine]

Whenever they do their run in for evening drinks I just picture the production team behind the door going "come on guys give it some energy whooo" and it is so tragic

Tragic Island!

Very proud to say I don’t think I could ever cry over Tom

Funniest is when their type is...*checks notes* a hair colour

 

[JombleWomble]

it's almost time to be bored senseless people!! where you all at

The cat is on my feet and is just as excited as you are

I'd only just got the thread loaded and someone has already mentioned unfinished business ffs

 

[Jellybb]

Lol at him ripping his shirt off

 

[Laika1234]

If I hear the words Unfinished Business uttered by Liv or one of her cronies one s’more time…

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

I think Tanyel is pretty without makeup

 

[Snoopysnoop123]

Zara is brutal telling Ellie that she doesn’t care one bit hahaha

 

[Clovis]

Yes! Tanyel and Lana should couple up and get one of those smug boys dumped. I'd love to see their faces if they did that.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

 

[Notredamn]

What does Kai think he brings to the table exactly? (Other than a spoon )
Why does he assume he could be in a ‘sticky situation’? Samie might want to pie him from the off! Egomaniac

 

[jadach]

ellie should be upset too, since he told olivia he’s not feeling it with her but told her something different, but she probably won’t be lol

 

[Clovis]

Kai mouth area just makes me sick

Reminds me of my grandad trying to keep his dentures in.

 

[Diagnosis123]

Haris and Anna-May are totally adorbs together

Spoiler: Altered image - Potential to offend

 

[GossWhore]

Noone cares but in the break I managed to fit in a whole routine to Hilary Duff "this is what dreams are made of"

And I think it was more interesting than this episode lol

[whisperchat]

omg now hes trying to turn it on Ellie to make himself look better hahaha he's such a fucker

 

[iieee]

I hope that after the end of the recoupling Maya shows up with these 2 lads, and it ends up with one of the boys going home instead of Zara/Tanyel.

I feel like I’m missing something with the girls getting annoyed that the boys are talking to the new girl. They do know they’re only 2 weeks in and it’s love island right? Continuous bombshells, casa amor, ‘we need to be tested’ love island? I think too many of them want that title of ‘strongest couple’ based solely off being together from the start when all it looks like is they’re settling to have an easy ride to the final and then they *shockingly* split after a few months or so.

I’ve said it for years now but the problem is people are now on the show solely for deals and opportunities rather than actual love and it is patently obvious. From the first three seasons from 2015 to what it is now, it’s such a shame as it was so authentic and real. The odd season will have great people that are memorable but for the most part a lot of them are forgettable and just clinging to 15 minutes of fame.


Olivia will sell this ‘unlucky in love, why do I always get F’d over’ narrative when really she doesn’t like ANY of them and is giving them the about as much affection as you’d get out of a rock… it’s so predictable and so boring. I do feel it’s run it’s course now… I’ll still be watching shamelessly though whilst complaining about it. I’m looking forward to big brother now let’s hope they don’t ruin that classic.
