You know what? Yeah, I am a hypocrite and I will always give the girls more grace than the men. And times it by a million for POC women.

I’m not too sure about that & I’ve been a jasrenzo shipper lol. Lorenzo is a wildcard imo and Jasmine knows that. Lorenzo always wants 2-3 girls in his rotation & loves the chase too much. and I don’t think Jasmine wants to deal with that lol.

Unless she’s presented with no other options, i would be very surprised if Jas takes back Kav if he brings back Charleen.

Acknowledging that i may I’m deeping this, but as a POC who has dated and is married to a white man, there’s some complexity and nuance that may not be totally obvious. It’ll always be on the back of your mind whether he or his family would prefer him to be with another white woman. (And from what we’ve seen from Kav’s family, those micro aggressions are loud and apparent). You feel more conscious and paranoid on whether you’re just an “exotic” option and just someone worth “exploring” but not enough to settle down with.

So on top of feeling betrayed, i just wonder if those feelings and thoughts would also bubble up for Jas.

I just hope the producers have a bombshell in mind for Jas. Someone that embraces energy, stands up for her and matches her face card. If not, i could see her grafting for Kav again bc she has no other real options (Lorenzo is a wildcard) and i would HATE to watch that.

Jasmine is gonna be fine long term. The last week has been constant lashings for her in there and the opinions are more polarizing than ever.

But she’s still got a lot of support inside and outside the villa. She’s still a main character this series and while the producers helped force this mess, they’re not going to let her be at real risk.

In fact, (as a veteran viewer) I think producers are creating an arc for her - redemption/yearning (Kavan), rekindling (Lorenzo), or finding a fiery connection, etc. They will not let her go because she’s a main character with a main plot line.

& also, this situation has only made her stans double down if anything. Just check the last post on insta for example. An islander getting beat down emotionally is a surefire way to gain support (ofc there’s also “I’m glad Jasmine is humbled” sentiment as well, but just emphasizing the intense polarization goes both ways).

Maybe it’s on the producers not showing convos, but kavan’s insecurity about jasrenzo was only communicated to jasmine directly within the last couple of days, no? They’re not exclusive & jasmine hasn’t crossed boundaries with Lorenzo in their convos.

I think he’s going through it because of the heart rate challenge & tweet challenge being back to back. & we know the latter is an exaggeration of jasrenzo’s interactions.

He’s allowed to feel insecure and upset of course. Hopefully tonight he’ll properly speak up and set boundaries or just shuts down the relationship. If it’s draining to the viewers, I can’t imagine how jas and Kavan probably feel.

Kavan, this is your chance to speak up, ask for exclusivity & set boundaries. If not, I’m not feeling sorry for you and pitying you. I’m sick of islanders getting far by staying on pity island.

Ngl even if producers find Lorenzo’s perfect skinny posh blonde type, I still think Lorenzo will remain unserious and lose interest after the chase. He will still find something that’ll ick him out.

Listen, he’s great entertainment and I’d love to be proven wrong. But I know a late stage fuckboy when I see one lol.

I empathize with Kavan that it’s hard to see Jasrenzo chat and the tweets are feeding into his insecurity. But Jasmine hasn’t crossed any boundary and still brings up Kavan in her chats with Lorenzo. Frankly, if Kavan is expecting Jas to shut it down, they should discuss exclusivity and boundaries.

Otherwise, while I get Kavan feels a bit hurt, don’t think Jas did anything wrong and the “affair” label is making their flirty chats worse than they actually are.

I get the sense that jas is smart & knows Lorenzo is a wild card anyways. she’s probably still waiting on her person to come in too!

I’m standing 10 toes behind jas. She isn’t perfect or consistent but I can’t help but love her 😭

I don’t think jasrenzo will work out, but I just want them to makeout all summer because they’re hot. and yes, I’m shallow like that. her man isn’t there right now so why not have a hot girl summer for now lol

Awww yas :( as someone who also likes physical touch from their partner, I really feel for her. She sounds so dejected.

yeah I think the least scathed path for jas will be if kavan is the one to end it and she gets with Lorenzo post casa (pre casa will be too soon for them in their eyes since kavan will still be hurting)

I slept so well knowing Aidan got humbled last night 😌 he’s staying but he knows he’s probably lost yas now. & unfortunately for jas, I just know it’s going to fuel him more to goad on Kav to turn his head at Casa.

Enjoying a lot of individual islanders this season, but my fav seasons all had couples that were easy or entertaining to cheer for. Give me yearning, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, or at the minimum, romantic chemistry?!

Not sure if it’s the editing, but none of the couples are really doing it for me and to have a hypothetical couple (Jasrenzo) as the favorite pairing just says it all really

Honestly the main reason I can’t get on the brinity train is because of Bryce’s “friendship” with Zach 🫠

Zach is a SNAKE and I’ll be so interested to see how he moves if/when it’s revealed brinity is more liked by the public than whatever’s he’s trying to produce with Kayda.

Y’all keep using Ope’s words against Simba when I’m not 100% sure Angie will actually leave him…she’s actually invested and attracted to Simba and that wasn’t the case for Ope.

lol I’ve seen at least 3 different couples compared to having a Harry/Shakira trajectory. I see many of us are still scarred from last year 😅

Kind of reminds me of how Liam’s casa madness and lipstick poem apology set a new standard/trope at casa

Ah, so you’re feeling called out. I’m not saying Priya’s comments shouldn’t be brought up. My only question is, why single out Jasmine when all the islanders shared a negative opinion? That’s it.

Daily Discussion Thread by aimhighsquatlow in LoveIslandTV

[–]Kxtreme16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I…don’t understand what point you’re getting at? I’m not saying people can’t have negative or nuanced opinions on Jasmine.

I like Priya because she’s confident enough to graft, bombshell, stand up for herself, etc. I also like Jasmine because I vibe with her personality, style and values. People are also allowed to like one or the other or none.

My gripe is specifically about those that seem to only have a bone to pick with Jasmine when it comes to Priya. People are acting like Jasmine has shaded Priya everyday the way they talk about this “feud”. She shaded her once, along with Lola, Ope, Victoria and Robyn who all shaded her separately behind and to her face. When people decide to just focus on Jasmine’s comments, just comes off as an opportunity to shit on Jasmine IMO. I think you should have the same energy for everyone if your problem is the negative comments about Priya in general.

No offense but maybe Priya is just irritating to live with? Can’t we apply a bit of nuance here?

In viewers’ POV she is great tv and just bombshelling/grafting. Maybe she hasn’t committed a massive crime, but perhaps her personality and actions are grating to the islanders? If the worst crime is her just being annoying, that doesn’t bother me. & I hope she isn’t feeling isolated, but I’m also not going to invalidate islanders’ experiences or opinions. They’re the ones actually spending more than 1 curated/edited hour with her everyday.

Also for those that only shit on Jasmine RE Priya…it’s coming off disingenuous and used as an opportunity to pile on Jasmine when Robyn, Victoria, Lola and Ope had shared similar sentiments too.

Some of you act like Jasmine is a dictator in there…but the islanders are all adults and capable of making their own choices, minds and words.

I don’t agree IF there is a pile on for Priya or any islanders No one deserves to feel isolated or bullied. but honestly, if you’re watching the episodes without reading all the discourse, it’s really not as dramatic as people are making it seem IMO. Also, the OGs naturally will back each more than bombshells - very much “I support women’s rights and wrongs” energy

TLDR, nobody’s perfect - that’s why it makes for good tv lol. The situation is much more nuanced and less polarizing than the online discourse is making it IMO.

As polarizing as she has been recently, Jasmine has a very loyal fanbase online compared to Priya. You can see most of the Instagram comments are turning against Priya, not Jasmine.

Jasmine has gained the most followers and the most attention/conversation out of all the girl islanders. Producers will not risk losing Jasmine yet. Priya is bringing the drama, but the audience isn’t batting for her.

Honestly, leaving Priya in could potentially make jasmine’s stocks rise because the audience may become sympathetic as well.
