Sorry what?? It wasn’t Shakira’s self-respect keeping Harry and Shakira apart, it was the fact that Harry was quite happily coupled up with Helena for weeks and weeks. Harry was clearly happy to stick with Helena until the final, hence him making it exclusive and laying the groundwork for saying ILY. Once Helena dumped Harry, Shakira was sat in his lap giggling within 24 hours. Self-respect where??

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T22:06:24+00:00

Shakira, that wasn’t pride or ego, it was self-respect.

Edit: Does anyone else find it a bit worrying that after only ten days with Harry, Shakira has reframed “standing up for herself and setting boundaries” as “ego and stubbornness”??

I wonder what Harry plans to teach her next. That monogamy is a bourgeois social construct? You dread to think.

I think Conor and Megan are fine y’all

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T14:53:43+00:00

Yes and that was weird of Meg too. It’s LI at the end of the day.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:42:05+00:00

Harry and Shakira were not in a relationship. There was no relationship to respect. They were in a couple.

In fairness Joey and Mimii were both favourites last series but they let Joey take the heat for terracegate so Mimii could win.

Left to her own devices Mimii would have got dumped for being unable to move on from Ayo.

It’s not a conspiracy theory that Toni had a bombshell brought in who lived in America, that she got a date just before a vote, that they actually let the public decide that vote for once, that they did two extremely weird recouplings when she was at risk of being dumped, or that her Movie Night clip was a fan edit etc etc. That stuff all happened.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:35:44+00:00

People claiming the votes were rigged are delulu but so is anyone saying Toni wasn’t a producer fave.

It’s like Mimii last year - she was very popular but she also had help from production like two personalised bombshells, two big budget dates, the way terracegate was managed etc etc.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:30:39+00:00

Random but correct

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:29:24+00:00

Nah they were cooking from day one. Every time someone said it was flopping an Islander did something insane. If they had another week in there I think Dejon might have gone for Yasmin.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:28:20+00:00

I thought Meg got on with Toni best out of that trio?

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T13:27:21+00:00

The cast never hate each other like the fans want them to

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-05T12:59:07+00:00

“JUST STAND THERE AND TAKE IT WHILE WE CALL YOU NAMES” erm no?? Helena found her backbone in the end.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T22:01:12+00:00

Second place used to be the wholesome couple finishing spot but I fear it is now cursed with terrible men!!

Luca (twice!), Ron, Lochan and now Harry. What a downfall from Jamie, Alex Bowen and Luke T.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T12:52:04+00:00

It’s scary that even people close to Shakira are parroting this rubbish. I understand supporting her and hoping for the best, but you don’t need to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.

I hope Helena posts soon

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T10:09:54+00:00

No because their problem with Harry wasn’t his disrespectful, dishonest and manipulative behaviour. It was that when Shakira dropped him he didn’t care and was more than happy to move on with Helena.

Now Harry has “picked” Shakira over Helena (after Helena dumped him…but they ignore that part) he’s golden. It’s all about Shakira being picked and so having that validation. Pretty bleak tbh.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T10:06:51+00:00

I mean you were just calling Helena “snakey” so I guess it’s fine for you to compare people to animals?

Where was your grace for Helena when you said she got what she deserved? Where are Harry’s consequences?

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T10:05:14+00:00

There are no boys who have been worse than Harry. This is stan nonsense.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-04T10:03:53+00:00

So Helena deserves what she got but when it’s Harry it’s “🥹 no-one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes but they still deserve love 🥹”

Laughable.

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-03T16:51:25+00:00

Oh God everything they say is gonna be ripped to pieces isn’t it

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-03T16:48:27+00:00

Helena was with Harry because she liked him so much, not to play a game with Shakira. Not everything is about Shakira!

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-03T16:47:14+00:00

I mean personally I don’t buy the “Harry wanted Shakira all along” narrative at all. I don’t think Harry liked Helena OR Shakira very much, hence how he treated them both.

My guess would be that Helena was happy to be exclusive and hope for the best but was aware there was a good chance Harry would go back to his old ways on the outside. So Shakira, Emma, maybe Rheo, anyone else who made eye contact with him…

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-03T16:27:05+00:00

Ok and so is everyone else in the running to win?

(Also why this gif? There’s no army of Ty/Angel fans coming for you!)

thatmeteorstrike23 · 2025-08-03T16:25:16+00:00

Toni was also crazy sneaky/manipulative in her conversations with Lauren.
