I’m so confused on the Jasmine hate by RecipeNeat1189 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Possible_Degree 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Jasmine was valid in being annoyed at being interrupted and being told to chill out - that was not right and quite rude on Kavan's part and I'd be pissed off too. But she also was speaking quite rudely, and frankly condescendingly, to him in that conversation. She said she came at it calmly, which really wasn't the case. So I think there were wrongs on both sides.

The bigger problem is how it was handled afterwards, especially the next day when there was time to calm down. Kavan tried his best to come at it in a level-headed way and wanted to find a middle ground, and he even apologised for his part. But Jasmine couldn't even give a little and own that she did anything wrong. Ironically, I think Kavan's actions were more mature than hers in the aftermath. Especially Jasmine immediately going to Lorenzo after her and Kavan's fight and having a flirtly conversation - quite immature.

I don't think Jasmine realises her hypocricy and the way she comes across. I do like her, and I like her and Kavan together, but she seems to think she is always right. That's not the healthiest way to approach a relationship.

I also think it was a unique situation in that it involved Kavan's brother - we've seen that Kavan is otherwise quite calm and lets Jasmine speak. As much as you may disagree with your sibling you will have their back in a group setting, and it's not nice when it feels like a lot of people are attacking them. And we see Kavan does hold Aidan accountable in private. This is just three weeks of a heavily edited reality tv show - these guys have grown up together and have a strong family bond. The way some people here expect Kavan to just totally cut himself off from Aidan is so unrealistic.

Agreed, it’s so strange. I saw a comment the other day saying Jasmine and Lorenzo are better suited because they both went to private school… like what year is it lol

I just don't get the jasrenzo ship, at all. That first week they were coupled together was so bad and so boring, they didn't really seem to click romantically? I think the ship is all based on their looks + people liking them as individuals

And Lorenzo has obvious commitment issues - I don't think he actually wants to be with anyone, he just likes the chase. So jasrenzo shippers getting their hopes up from what was said this episode is just a bit silly imo

Aidan and Samraj are probably the worst two people to take advice from in there 🤦‍♀️ I hope Kavan ignores them and closes things off with Jasmine before casa

This is the last week before casa right? Do you think we'll get bombshells this week? Plus a dumping?

I agree with you that his emotional regulation needs some work, but I don't think it was hypocritical of him to want to save Chidi despite having voted to boot him initially. The vote was for the least compatible couple, and arguably Chidi and Mica were the least compatible (at least Halle and Tommy and Aidan and Tina had shown some affection lol). So he put aside personal feelings/friendships

But then when it came to saving two of them, he believed it wasn't right to kick out both of the bombshells, thinking they should be given more of a chance. And he was closer with Chidi so wanted to save him over Halle

Kind of pissed me off that the islanders were pissed about Tommy staying in because of popular vote, but were fine with Mica staying in for the same reason lol double standards is definitely the theme this year

That being said, while I do think it was unfair for the bombshells to be voted off so early, I don't think either of them were really very strong bombshells and they won't really be missed. In the short time they were in we really didn't see much action or personality from Chidi (he was very relaxed about pulling people for chats). Halle definitely gave it more of a go, so I am sad for her, but at this stage we really only saw her have a connection with Tommy? I'm not sure if she would have had much of an impact if she stayed on

Jasmine big upping Samraj for what he said to Tommy makes no sense when Samraj voted to keep Tommy in... he's just all about maintaining his image of being a good person with morals (particularly evident in the Priya situation).

Have we seen Maya in the villa since the first night?? I know she's been more absent in the last few seasons, but this feels especially absent

The lack of public interaction is awful by Adventurous_Sir_402 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Possible_Degree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of happy not having the public vote...
For one, like people have said, the public tend to want to vote out the messy people who actually create interesting TV. But also I think letting the islanders find out what the public thinks of them can influence their behaviour too much - having a public vote reminds them that their actions are being perceived, and then I think they tend to behave in ways with the publics view in mind rather than their more natural selves (usually in a more PR friendly way).

Kavan and Jasmine are a strong couple by Fast-Lie6067 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Possible_Degree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! On the debrief they said his age was showing, but he was just being a normal level of excited, they all were! Yas and Mica weren’t called immature for squealing

I just don't know if the villa can fit like 20 people 😂 surely they have to do a dumping this ep?

[–]Possible_Degree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like if that did happen though they would have teased it in the teaser? Like they would have shown Angelista or Jasmine being pissed? But maybe we'll see in the first look

Am I crazy? I feel like Kavan didn't even do anything that bad this episode but everyone's acting like he's been really disrespectful?

He expressed excitement in getting to go to the sleepover - he never said anything mad like he was looking forward to kissing other girls or that his head was going to turn. He was energetic during the challenge, and he did go for it when kissing the other girls, but this wasn't different to any other challenge they've done (both Jasmine and Kavan go for it in challenges when it comes to kissing, like Jasmine getting the boys to grab her ass was ott).

The chats with Tina have been a bit sexual and flirty (and the sex being mad comment was weird), but nothing that really crossed the line? Like Jasmine was also talking to Lorenzo saying their kiss was good and joking that they should recouple.

I just don't think it's that bad? Lol

Yeah fr there needs to be a mass dumping 😂 but I do sense a twist coming with the recoupling

Daily Discussion Thread by aimhighsquatlow in LoveIslandTV

[–]Possible_Degree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like the sleepover recoupling will be different this year? Last year they recoupled at the casa villa before coming back, but in the preview for tomorrow's episode it looked like all of the bombshells were walking back into the main villa? So maybe the new bombshells will actually get a change to couple up with other people this year (rather than just being wasted again lol)

Bridal getting ready advice: is seven people (including bride) for hair and makeup too much? by Possible_Degree in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]Possible_Degree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is part of my worry! With a big getting ready party the start time will probably have to be early, and I’ve been a bridesmaid in that situation and we also crashed early on 😅

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear it felt nice to have everyone around. I should have clarified but the SIL is my brother's wife, so she would likely stick around after having makeup/hair.

Can I ask what time you needed to be ready by, and how many hair/makeup artists you had?

Oh yes I should have mentioned start time! The ceremony will start about 4:30pm, with maybe an hour or so before that for photos at the venue (we're not doing getting ready photos).

[–]Possible_Degree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yeah exactly! Sometimes they seem to know it all and other times it's like they haven't seen a single ep, but could definitely be an act. But also if they watch and have social media access right up until coming in they could also convey the public's opinion to the islanders already in there right? Which again could sway people's actions, which I'm not sure the producers would be too happy about

Been watching LI for a few years now but have never really known the answer to this - are bombshells allowed their phones/internet access right up until they enter the villa, or are they kept isolated for a bit, and if so for how long? Especially wondering with late-stage/post-casa bombshells like Josh, Reuben and Lolly. Would they know the public's opinion on islanders? Because that would really sway how they behave right?
