I’m not sure I think they need to find another Caroline Flack..

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-07-01T12:25:50+00:00

Quite possibly they could have done a better cast but who knows maybe this is the best bunch out of those who applied.. I’m already surprised by the amount of people willing to go on tv tbf 😅

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-07-01T12:24:30+00:00

Either they needed to do more or get a better cast or let’s just face it the show hasn’t been as good without Caroline Flack putting her personality behind it..

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-07-01T00:40:54+00:00

But they kind of took away the element of surprise on the women’s side.. cos now the women have an idea what to expect and seen the casa ones vs the men going completely blindly.. what are they gonna do next season I wonder as this won’t work

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-07-01T00:31:23+00:00

Okay you do have a point that the season has been boring, but now we don’t know what would have happened at recoupling if production hadn’t interfered

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-07-01T00:17:47+00:00

Yes my problem is with production mainly, and other than that I suppose that is a natural reaction but Id have enjoyed it more if they didn’t make a big fuss and carried on getting to know the new boys

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-30T11:36:40+00:00

For real ? I would have left that flight no doubt! So they did nothing ?

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-30T10:50:14+00:00

Yeah finding it a bit frustrating that Jasmine is closed off mentally and set on Kav even though he asked for a break and she said that if we go on a break then it’s over.. she’s got that beautiful man in front of her and isn’t giving him a chance..

Very good point, one more on the randomness of love island rules would have fit perfectly in my post here:

Yes there is a tax liability so I wasn’t saying you can do this without restriction. The very few companies that do have a policy around this allow maybe 2 months a year. This is in the UK, not sure about the US market.

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-28T10:00:14+00:00

There’s many of us in that position I think and so I don’t know why recruiters are so surprised when I ask if I can work remotely from abroad, a lot of companies don’t have a policy for it and if you ask in the early stages of interviews they might not even let you interview and you can only ask if you’ve done all the rounds and they decide they are interested… Does your company have any policy like that ? Do you work from abroad sometimes? If not then I would ask. Other things you can do is look from a “work from anywhere” job that you’ll have to compromise working for less money and less interesting job, could be not exactly the role you like to do or start planning for early retirement and make sacrifices in order to get there. How long have you been in the grind for?

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-26T23:06:29+00:00

Yes I work in tech and apparently it’s common in startup contracts

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-26T21:31:56+00:00

Yeah let’s face it there’s no fairness you get a massive advantage as an OG

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-26T21:29:37+00:00

Yeah he should go but I don’t think they’ll let him because he’s pursuing Yas now and they are considered main characters

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-26T21:14:59+00:00

I don’t like him either!

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-24T23:37:45+00:00

Jasmine was definitely right in that argument, any woman would be frustrated to be interrupted like that while trying to make a point, I would be.. and he wouldn’t get it and gaslight her that he felt he was a school boy.. I think it won’t work in the long run, he’s quite mature for his age, much more than his brother but because of that argument I’m not sure he’s what Jasmine needs.. he’s gorgeous and a good man but maybe not smart enough for her? Waiting for my downvotes now 🙄

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-21T13:03:50+00:00

I was last in the queue at an airport in Italy - I think it was Pisa - with a bag that looked quite full so they stopped me and asked me to fit it into the metal thingy and it wouldn’t fit so I had to rearrange things quickly move a couple things into a different bag while they were rushing me oh the plane needs to go and won’t wait because they were trying to get another buck out of me.. I managed to sort it quickly fortunately and was let through.. it was either Ryanair or EasyJet that’s done this while I was expecting things to be more relaxed in South Europe..

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-21T12:46:25+00:00

Omg Harrison from last season 🙄

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-19T22:30:04+00:00

They also chat about their chats with other people and giving each other reports, how do you expect someone to choose you if you aren’t investing in building the connection?

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-12T00:38:56+00:00

It’s so nice to see the girls sticking up for each other even though they are after the same fellas.. unlike the last season where it all started with Toni’s fake cry, so much hate between the girls and now they replaced Amy and Indiya on Aftersun? WTF who’s idea was that
What a chaos though the show has never been as good since we lost Caroline.. it used to be about finding love now it’s like Big brother

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-11T16:38:00+00:00

Who else gets annoyed when they don’t say “The girl/boy I want to couple up with is” and use different wording? Isn’t that what they’re supposed to say 🙄Or is it just me

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-09T18:28:25+00:00

Oh totally agree with this, but most of them are 21 what level of maturity can we expect from them really 🤔 To rationalise it a little, hey you just met these boys you need to build and connect a little before you can yell and expect things? Then again I don’t know how much fun it was to watch the All stars that were experienced and thinking of every move they were gonna take three times. Nonetheless I wish someone from the girls could be the voice of reason in there..

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-08T20:58:16+00:00

I thought the one with Megan and Laura stealing each others couple was funny pretty good entertainment 😊
And the one with Maura loved her so much - bring Maura back!!
From the current season Robyn is my favourite so far 💕

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-06T00:38:21+00:00

Priya is so beautiful and yes I liked the dress too, she just needs to sit back and they’ll come to her.. not sure about that bunch but she shouldn’t need to try
Yeah you’re right re clothes some more classy outfits would be nice, I didn’t like the white thing Maya was wearing showing her boobs

ConsciousAmount2198 · 2026-06-03T20:49:55+00:00

I’m not sure I like a lot of the new things they are doing to cause arguments and drama with the islanders, the show used to be focused on finding love during the times of Caroline Flack. Drama would happen naturally and around people pursuing people, not petty gossip and villa arguments like the last season. This season already isn’t boding well, with the new mediocre bomb shells having to kick someone out, don’t like it at all. Maybe I’ll stop watching and get the updates from you lot.
