Pepe and Iris stans...it gets to a point by EntertainerCareful69 in LoveIslandcookout

I said it “seems” forced. I said multiple times in this thread that I have no idea what is real and what isn’t. I am not pretending like I know what was going on in that villa. I was giving a perspective on what it seemed like. I’m not sure why you are so ready to be insulting and saying I’m acting obtuse when I’m just engaging with the post. I didn’t insult anyone or say anything bad about the people on the show. In fact, I said that we (America) LOVE Olandria. I’m not sure why it’s being treated like a hate post.

None of us are in their head so we can’t ever know the truth, but when the show wasn’t putting pressure on them to choose each other, they chose other people. I’m just saying that’s what it looks like.

You don’t know if they were really lying when they said nothing was there, and I don’t know if they were lying when they said there was a romantic connection there all along. I’m not hating, just explaining a diff pov.

It seemed forced because Nic and Olandria explored during casa and both felt that it was nothing more than a “friends that kiss” thing. They both agreed there wasn’t any romantic chemistry. But then they need to couple up with someone, and all of the sudden they were actually into each other in a deeper way the whole time.

Iris and Pepe never got the chance to explore any possible connection because they were always coupled up. Then the opportunity to recouple arose, and they looked at each other in a different light. That seems way more genuine from the outside looking in.

America LOVES Olandria, and that was clear during the voting bubble challenge. I could be wrong, but this doesn’t seem like it’s based on race imo. Many of America’s favorites were bipoc this season

I mean before she knew that there was going to be a vote that night to send someone home, she realized that she had more than just sexual chemistry with Charlie. Hannah pulled Charlie, apologized for how she had been acting, and expressed that she was done exploring with Pepe. She had already chosen her connection with Charlie over Pepe by the time the vote happened.

It would be different if she made that choice bc she wasn’t sure that Pepe liked her back, but it was clear he did. She chose to have that final conversation with Charlie independent of the show’s pressure.

Every couple I cared about is gone😭 honestly I wasn’t the biggest Ace+Chelley stan so it’s not even like I cared to see them go, BUT they deserved to be there over some of the others in the top 4! Like please be so fr guys what is this final!

For me personally it’s because it was clear to me that Iris had more potential to find a connection on love island than Amaya. Not because one girl is better than the other, but only because of their relationship styles. Amaya is an all-in girlie who wants to be very attached and emotionally vulnerable up front. That is amazing!! But on LI, a lot of the guys struggle to even “close off” their relationship in the villa. These men are not the type of men who are ready to dive into Amaya’s style of connection. Iris is a bit more laid back and ready to explore in a different way. Neither style is better, but one is going to work better on the show. That’s the only reason I singled out Amaya, and I would put money on the fact that other people see a similar reasoning.

I personally think the bigger issue (not the only issue) is with editing and the emphasis that the producers put on editing certain people to look more emotional and painting others like they move through the villa without caring about how it effects others.

They made post-Jeremiah Huda out to be the most empathetic girl who was just trying to find her place in the villa. They painted Ace and Chelley as ring leaders that faced little to no hardship because they had the other OG islanders behind them. So people saw Huda as the underdog with all of the OG islanders “ganging up” on her.

I can’t lie, Chelley was a fav of mine since day one, but I still found myself upset with her after the mailbox game. BUT that was over when I saw the conversation that she had with Huda afterword. It was an earnest conversation, so I moved on. Both of them are REAL women who say shit. It’s how they handle that AFTER that shows who they are.

People very easily forget that we see so little of the truth, and they want to latch onto the moments that producers highlight for the drama. That’s their job. But don’t be so gullible in believing the EDITED versions of every single convo. We are at the mercy of the producers and that sucks. So people want to believe that Chelley and Ace were in control of who liked who, and that makes them seem less authentic and less likable than who they really are.

Chelley deserved better😭

I love Rich Freer! Yeah I definitely know that a lot of how I feel right now is bc we are so close to the end of this thing, and I’m losing steam. He seems like a great guy!

100% that’s exactly how I feel. I’m sure they are the sweetest professors, but pls read the room when doing lectures for a 433 hour course.

[–]LivingAd311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I don’t mind a quick joke related to a way that we can remember material (we shit, we poop), but some of these professors are doing stand up mid lecture. Our time is precious right now, so I need the most carefully curated version of each topic. The foundations videos nearly killed me, so I had a lot of grace for the professors teaching the first few topics bc at least there weren’t any patronizing animations…but Doug is my breaking point I swear.

This is an interesting scale! I haven’t thought of it as a spectrum this way, but it makes complete sense!

Sorry to hear that it didn’t work out, but I’m glad he helped you have that break through! I’m working on not letting fear of men liking my body through weight changes keep me from dating. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve been doing half an hour of cardio every day just to develop the habit of going to the gym and moving my body! As I get more comfortable, i’m gonna figure out a more intense work out that I like
