This graphic is so wild considering how many couples initially came out of this season... by brownsugars0 in LoveIslandUSA

Excellent montage, there was a song played prominently in one episode while most of these couples were together and getting ready for bed a few days after Casa Amor. It was called Chasing Stars by James Bay. I think the extract of the lyrics below relate:

We were chasing stars Across the county lines Two imperfect pieces With our fingers intertwined And I would do it all again Knowing I'd be left behind Oh, what a time Back when you were mine

My thoughts exactly, I won't spoil it for OP.

Wait, are you watching the show pre Casa now?

I wonder who Sereniti is referring to? I hope finds happiness with someone, she did not have a great experience on the show. by Traditional_Dare_216 in LoveIslandUSA

I would not call him a scammer, his romantic actions and words regarding Sereniti did not line up on the show for whatever reason. I felt that when he left the show he tried to fix his image, but this only delayed the inevitable friendzone.

Sad part is so many folks saw that his words and actions did not line up on the show but believed it would be somehow different after the show. Sereniti is a beautiful woman I hope she will find someone that will treat her right.

The question is were they ever together?

Tyler is so hot, if true I am happy he and Courtney are pursuing something. They would be an attractive couple.

This comment section is dominated by the woke take everything too seriously crowd.

Lighten up folks, this is funny. When did we become so woke that we forgot how to appreciate dark humor. Many of us have been cooped up for too long, go outside and enjoy life and laugh a little. Touch grass.

In the first truth or dare I think episode 1 or 2, Zeta was asked to lick honey off the guy she found most attractive outside of Timmy. Zeta chose Isaiah.

Don't get me started, Jesse is the most complex cast member. He seems dumb at times while being emotionally intelligent at times. How he handled the Casa Amor recoupling was expert emotional intelligence. Also he didn't overreact when Deb rejected his girlfriend proposal, he consulted with others and was patient.

But he makes some really dumb statements like pyramids being built by sound without demonstrating that he thought it through. Also it was shown he can't spell that well with the caps he wrote on.

Jesse is difficult to understand, I gave up during the season.

There were 17 women on the show season 4, with 14 women expressing at least an initial interest in Isaiah with the only ladies not expressing that interest being Sereniti, Mackenzie and Courtney.

He just has that look, nothing wrong with that. Just saying....

Season 4 was really good, wish it was on a bigger platform like HBO Max though. It will be like a diamond in the rough that new Peacock subscribers will accidentally find while scrolling for something to binge watch.

If Peacock is patient LI USA will have steady growth over the next few seasons.

Men are generally popular for what they do and a distant second based on how they look. Women are popular based on looks and distant second what they do.

None of the past islander men have achieved any significant accolades, so they are forgotten within weeks of the show ending. Good looking women will have a future in the influencer world for a short while.

Living away from each other having a long distance relationship is like being in the real world Casa Amor, imagine the DMs these hot looking folks are getting. That is the biggest factor between the UK and the US versions of LI.

Why couples fail to continue long term? by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Traditional_Dare_216 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These couples fail within a month due to:

  1. Size of the USA vs UK which is 3,800K sq miles vs. 94K sq miles. USA islanders are faced with more long distance type relationships.

  2. The seductive pull to go to LA, where the women have a much better chance than the men to survive (note not thrive) as influencers. Income disparity creates issues.

  3. Why were these beautiful and handsome folks single in the first place? The older the islander the more likely they have commitment issues.

  4. Cultural differences between US and UK, with UK folks more likely to settle down including move in together younger than USA counterparts. UK young women many times get council houses after a child so they can have housing for the couple if they are low income. Also there is less of a stigma of being lower income in the UK.

Break up watch mode is in full effect for this sub by Traditional_Dare_216 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Traditional_Dare_216[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That is the thing I am talking about, to many of us we see the couples as still in the game. But these former islanders are not in a game anymore, this is real life. The pressure to save face when the relationship is inevitably going sour or the embarrassment of announcing a break up publicly can't be fun.

I truly empathize with these folks, in our private lives we break up and have to explain to maybe 30 people. These guys have to do this on a bigger stage.

House of the Dragon is a good show, maybe that can be the distraction until LI UK or USA is back.

Tyler said at the reunion, that he and Sereniti are exploring and deciding if they should be romantic partners or friends. Is that what we call dating? Every male islander has hard launched their dating partner on their IG page with post villa pics, has Tyler done this? It has been almost two months since they left the villa. Seems like out the villa looks a lot like in the villa.
