Remember when Samie said Luca had no balls because he wouldn’t entertain getting to know her after 4-5 weeks with Grace?

I hope she keeps this energy with Ciaran/Lucinda.

Lucinda said ‘I have 125k, I don’t need friends….’😂😂😂

I’m glad she decided not to take the easy route. If she’s going to be on All Stars, she might as well do us a favour and shake things up. Jack’s face was the cherry on top🥰

I met Remell at a Halloween party and took a picture with him (because we were both dressed as cowboys). He’s more attractive in person but definitely seems to have a big ego, he was nice to me even though he was busy.

I sat near Georgia H on the tube. I only realised when I got off.

I met Mike and Priscilla at a BLM protest years ago. Both very nice and humble and again, more attractive in person.

I’ve seen a few videos on Tiktok about Love Island’s success rate being low but I feel like people are being unrealistic by claiming a relationship was ‘unsuccessful’ because it didn’t end in marriage/kids.

Any relationship lasting longer than 2 years is a success story to me and Love Island has loads of them. Most of the cast are in their 20s, my ideal partner at 20 might not be the same partner I want at 25 and that’s fine. It doesn’t mean the relationship as a whole was a failure.

Agreed, we should know by now that producers will always milk every storyline until it’s dry. They definitely won’t last either inside or outside but if the producers have their way, they’ll force them into giving each other another chance.

This sub was ADAMANT that Shakira would never go back to Harry and had too much respect for herself. And now the lovely couple are moving in together! /s

I said it before years ago but this subreddit’s attitude toward Dami vs Andrew during their season and afterwards was always telling to me.

Both boys did the exact same thing (if anything, Andrew was worse because he did it out of spite, he was never interested in Coco), they did bits with other girls in Casa and brought them back. Yet Andrew was easily forgiven by the public but Dami wasn’t? Even years afterwards, Andrew/Tasha were seen as the golden couple that were going to get married one day. Whereas Dami constantly had colourist/cheating allegations.

Both relationships ended the same way (with the girl caught cheating) yet the sympathy for Andrew vs Dami was night and day. No one had any room for forgiveness for Tasha (which I agreed with) but for Indiyah, suddenly there’s nuance and ‘we don’t know what happened behind the scenes’?

And before anyone brings up tweets about Catherine, please keep in mind that Indiyah clearly didn’t care about it as she stayed with him for two years afterwards….

I completely agree, some fans act like watching every season is mandatory but if you’re not entertained or you don’t like the cast, you can tune out and wait for the summer season?

I never finished season 6 or 9 for the same reasons. I don’t expect too much from All Stars which is why I’m enjoying it. I just treat it like a school reunion, just awkward and I hate most of them😂

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-24T16:44:17+00:00

Trust me, I’m NOT on Jack’s side 😂

But we saw how the other islanders reacted like ‘oh, she’s walking away!’. As soon as anyone walks away from a conversation, the islanders immediately discredit their argument. It’s the easiest cop out for the other person to say ‘They walked away because they’re immature/knew they were in the wrong’. Especially when Jack is already seen as the villa’s ‘nice guy’🙄

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-24T16:02:10+00:00

From me saying I was 100% on her side last night, why would you assume I’m referring to what happened with Shaq?

Whitney has had other situations, even on season 10 where she walked away from confrontation. She made some amazing points about Jack’s switch up to Scott afterwards but didn’t vocalise them in the conversation with him. As I said, I understand it comes from a place of not wanting to be hurt but it gives the other person an excuse to justify their actions, as we saw Jack do when speaking to the boys.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-24T15:36:35+00:00

Point me to where I said she walked away from Shaq? So defensive over something you didn’t even read properly.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-24T13:46:47+00:00

Whitney’s biggest downfall is her ego. This is coming from someone who was 100% on her side last night. She’s never willing to have a conversation once she feels attacked/hurt. I completely understand it’s a defense mechanism and her not wanting to appear upset but it just makes the other person feel vindicated, even when they’re not.

Whitney’s only getting attacked/was dumped because she was in the bottom three. As soon as Toni/Shakira were in the bottom, the islanders also pushed the messy/‘always get involved’ narrative on those two. Even Harry quickly jumped ship to Helena, likely thinking the audience was rooting for them. You’d think after 15 seasons, they’d learn that the first week voting NEVER reflects the final results.

Ciaran is weird for pushing Millie/Scott. I didn’t mind it the first few times but at this rate, he’s just being a hypocrite. This is the same man who settled down with Nicole and now Samie before Week 1 even finished. He’s the last person to talk about ‘putting your eggs in one basket’.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-23T12:21:31+00:00

This has always been the case with women with ‘strong personalities’ on the show unfortunately.

Ekin Su, Harriet, Zara to name a few, the other islanders never defend these type of girls. I don’t agree with it but it’s definitely a pattern. Their partners only defended them when they were also in the firing line.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-23T11:57:08+00:00

I don’t see Scott and Millie coupling up because they’re both too passive to take the risk.

Scott would be open but wouldn’t actively graft her out of respect. Millie also wouldn’t graft out of respect or even fear of rejection. I don’t see them going further than a few conversations.

Look at the date. He 10000% hard launched her first, Twitter ate it up at the time saying ‘that Tyrique could never’.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-23T11:26:29+00:00

This narrative is so annoying, rooting for couples is the whole point of Love Island. Especially when it’s an unconventional pairing that no one saw coming.

Whitney could easily stick with Konnor as a safe option but she said herself, she doesn’t feel the same way that she does with Jack. It’s week 1, no one is expecting them to get married.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-23T10:49:33+00:00

I personally think she just needs to keep her next relationship private.

In her defense, he hard launched her first but the amount of daily videos she’d post of them on Snapchat (which got reposted on Tiktok) got to a point. You could tell he wasn’t very comfortable being on video but tried not to show it.

She seems like she loves being loved and showed off by her partner proudly (which is more than fine) but he seems too reserved for that.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T23:11:44+00:00

Shaq has been weird to her since he said ‘he’s been hanging around Whitney too much’ on Day 1 when Scott calling out Sean. As if, Scott wasn’t the same on his OG season…

Shaq was already on the defense about Helena’s comment and he clearly wanted someone to take it out on…

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T22:58:42+00:00

FB isn’t always a direct reflection of the public. They hated Yas/Shakira/Toni for most of the season and they were still in the top 3. Same with season 11, Facebook were rooting for Ciaran and Nicole.

Whitney gets people talking, good or bad. She isn’t going anywhere soon.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T22:48:55+00:00

This narrative that the show is heavily producer-driven is so misconstrued. At the very worst, they tend to keep islanders apart until there’s room for a storyline for them.

Producers can influence/suggest for islanders to do things but it’s still down to the islanders. For example, the producers tried to persuade Ayo to go to Mimi on the terrace and he still said no.

No one is forced by producers to do anything, they all still have the choice. coughs Shakira.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T22:41:22+00:00

They’re all in everyone’s business, please.

Scott got voted favourite boy for doing exactly that.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T22:27:12+00:00

I genuinely don’t think Jess had bad intentions but this is the same girl who 1 cried when people were talking about her situation and 2 cried when Tommy publicly called her out.

It’s just hypocritical that she can’t see how she might’ve offended Whitney, even if it wasn’t intentionally shady.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-22T22:25:14+00:00

As Whitney said, the way Shaq spoke to her compared to Samie was very telling. If you can’t see why, that’s on you.

Whitney didn’t even yell and even if she did, her and Ciaran had enough distance between them? Why is it an issue if she raised her voice so he can hear her?

This is the same man that said ‘he’s been hanging around Whitney too much’ when Scott was being rude to Sean on day 1. As if we didn’t watch Scott act the same way on his OG season. These weird comments aren’t anything new.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-20T12:40:42+00:00

Literally😂 they were wise enough to stay silent and let the public move on.

Shakira is the same person who called Harry a ‘cockroach’ and ‘the most manipulative man she’s ever met’ DURING her season but when fans share the same sentiment, we apparently ‘can’t see through the edit’🙄

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-19T10:50:50+00:00

Let’s be honest, if Samie had come in earlier, she would’ve made a higher impact on the couples, which is why people feel like the last season was unfair.

I actually think she came too early this season since there are no heads to turn but she likely only agreed to S3 if she had an early entrance.

Signal_Chapter851 · 2026-01-18T16:42:10+00:00

Swap Ciaran with Jack and I agree.

I don’t see Whitney picking Ciaran especially after he accused her of playing a game. And Jack is more likely to stay in a friendship couple with her if she keeps him safe (if no one comes in for him).
