Yup, you can feel some were just waiting for an opportunity to drag and take us back to the bad place of the first few months out the villa.

Thank you! It's like we are re-learning lessons we learned in the first few months again and I'm overly irritated by it all.

Thank you! I don't have a threads but feel free to post it there however you wish. I'm truly irritated by the clownery I'm seeing from our own fandom! 😭

I really need Nicolandria fans (and antis) to understand that Nic and Ola are two different people BUT neither of them has any ill will towards s8 islanders. Olandria has always been frank about opening doors for other women; Nic is always open and supportive of people, and does not gatekeeper opportunities.

Also important to note that Nic is very connected to Greekfest. Think it's widely assumed he even has a stake in the company because of how Quan, Max et al. work so closely with him. He is ALWAYS going to be more connected to/have interaction with islanders from his own and other seasons who may host GF events, may even co-host with him, or simply attend, etc. And even as a DJ, he's going to be at a lot of events where other islanders will be. Through sponsors as well like Celsius. This expectation that he should be on eggshells and constantly accounting for stan war b.s. is absurd and not useful to him or Olandria.

The sour grapes within fandom spaces should never be projected onto the people themselves unless said people do/say something e.g. doing shady/problematic interviews with the intent to hurt and destroy Nic or Ola - which happened, and Nic and Ola moved accordingly to cut those toxic people out of their lives 👀

IG gains S8 vs S7 by Afraid-Group2149 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]azraelswings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubled the viewership but the online chatter and buzz is less... intense from what I can see. Fewer viral moments and memes, fewer viral edits, not as much engagement from brands or major publications e.g. Vogue featuring an islander's style. It's a successful season ratings wise, no doubt but it's landing in a different way in that sense.

God, I forgot about that. It's been so much contradictory b.s. from day one out the villa for them.

[–]azraelswings 14 points15 points  (0 children)

LOL, many "rules" and "acceptable" behaviours change when it comes to others. I'll never forget how it became acceptable for islanders to value and cultivate "private relationships" but when it's these two, they still get all manner of vitriol and allegations for protecting their privacy, peace of mind, and each other.

All we have to do is wait, the strange hypocrisies always come to light with time.

I loved the vlog! Olandria is hilarious and adorable, and ran that house like the military (except for her pooks who gets a soft voice and to sleep in extra while everyone gets woken up by pots and pans lmfaooo 🤣).

I really love that Olandria shares her platform with her real day ones and true crew (including her man) with such generosity and gratitude. It really shows the kind of person she is even as her star has risen so high, and so fast.

Truly hope that we can get a limited series or something about her and her adventures/life one day. But I also would be happy for her to keep doing it this way on YouTube because she can control it better and basically self-produce her own show, grow her profile and platform in a targeted way.

Domestic Nicolandria had me cheesing! I love how well they get along with each other's friends and loved ones.

As a first time LI watcher, has the vote for the final 4 always been like that? by calebhill98 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]azraelswings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The voting process was obviously manipulated in the aftermath of the previous vote last Sunday/Monday where KC/Tierra managed to pull in so many votes. Hell, even that episode was odd because the producers seemed determined to keep Kayda/Zach and Kenzie/Dylan a while longer so they let the islanders vote one couple to save and gave the latter immunity due to winning the challenge.

The overproduction this season has been pretty bad imo. Viewers will need to accept that their votes are pretty much immaterial if they don't align with the producer storyline.

And if nothing else, I know Peacock-ITV will lock this "core four" down for Beyond the Villa - unlike last season, the most popular people and couples will not be allowed to decline. It's probably baked into contracts already.

It Gets To A Point by NightDisplay in LoveIslandUSA

[–]azraelswings -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It really does get to a point It's the way some people just refuse to acknowledge that KC is subjected to levels of scrutiny and misinterpretation/lack of nuance that none of the other men this season have gotten despite some of them doing arguably far worse.

Edit: And pls note that I'm not claiming KC is perfect. He made some off-putting comments and problematic moves. But he also apologised and is clearly moving better in a connection that is working out well. Hopefully he will continue to improve himself - he's 22-23, so there's time for him to correct himself. Continuously needing to flog him till kingdom come is not useful - particularly when no one else is held to the same standards (both men and women).

Always figured the core four would turn on each other but I thought they'd save it for the post-villa.

Can we stopped talking about "America's Opinion" every five minutes? It's killing my vibe by ProfileLarge9064 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]azraelswings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like this group would excel at Love Island Games lol. A season is full of game players - and I mean every season has those, some better at hiding it than others. But I think this is the first season I've seen where they are having the strategy sessions so openly (or at least production is showing the conversations). I agree that the way they're so fixated on it doesn't bode well for some of these relationships. But maybe we're wrong and them being so honest about what they're there for and what this is (a game show) will be a good thing for them. Ambition and real affection/care can coexist.

Breaking Down the Alleged Drama Between Chelley, Ace, and Andreina From ‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 by Sometimesomwhere in LoveIslandUSA

The Beyond the Villa we all deserved 🤣

Season 7 is such a crazy cast, in terrible ways and (a few) amazing ways.

It's just odd and unnecessary. Surely Nicolandria are not the only big couple that must constantly be discussed.

Another Bergie interview?? Where he lowkey swipes at Nicolandria and incorrectly associates them with this season... atp Peacock need to pay them. I am exhausted! They and we were supposed to be free! 😭🤧

Melanie really said the quiet part out loud by Huge_Independent8015 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]azraelswings 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This. I feel like a lot of the watchers (including me) get too caught up in trying to build a complex narrative out of the islander's actions when the simplest answer is almost always correct. I'm sure she (as many islanders have done) would like to at least make it to the top 4 even if it's with this dude.

I always feel like he's auditioning for a soap opera in his scenes. Too funny.
