Samie got away with a lot when you think of how she tried to ostracise Ron and Lana and “out” Ron for having a gameplan. So jealous and hypocritical.

She’s a nasty twat, she did a podcast recently and she spoke about how she applied to love island three times, she lied and said she was attracted to Aaron just so she could get a spot in the villa, and she admitted that she only joined love island so that she could get brand deals and endorsements and yet she had the audacity to put the whole villa against Ron and ostracise him from everyone and have him bullied by nearly all of the islanders and she couldn’t even apologise to him.

Ok I’ve changed my mind about ekinde (and I was one of the people that liked her and Davide together and posted on the rave thread!).

It’s just getting painful to watch at this point. The forced girly advice, the forced relatable stories about loving chocolate, the forced make up ads. She was great on LI but it’s clear she’s quite insecure and it’s not fun to watch. It shows all over her face that she’s down. I still root for her but I don’t know if it’s gonna happen for her.

Everyone was right about Davide too, if he wasn’t Italian, I’d be cringing way more at his zoolander stares into the camera. I do like their vlogs and think they have chemistry but he’s obviously done something wrong or they would’ve denied that girls story completely

Same, I was a fan of ekin and I thought she would be successful post-love island, but everything that she seems to do now I can’t help but cringe. Even the instagram ad that someone posted that showed her promoting b perfect was beyond cringe and not convincing enough. She keeps losing hundreds of followers and buying followers but I’m not sure what her future holds. I remember Amber from season 5 saying she didn’t want to rush into brand deals and was taking her time finding the right market for her, only to not do well and fail at most of the brand deals she worked with.

She got away with a lot because she is pretty. Young girls look up to her as they want to be just like her. I do think she’ll be one of the few from S9 who will do well because she is very pretty. Good looks can get you far.

It is sad - Sanam and Lana are pretty girls and conduct themselves much more kindly than Sammie, I’d prefer to see them do well out of this.

Some of them are definitely not influencers. Paige, Luca, Jacques and to an extent Ekin are NOT influencers. Dami, Indiyah and Tasha have mastered it. Poor Andrew tries his best. But it’s not for everyone. Wonder what she’ll be like as an actress!

Don’t follow either but did watch their series and they seemed really in sync and well matched. But they are very young. Think Finn is only like 23?!?! So, not surprising they’ve split given their age.

I don't see acting working out that well either did she ever even express any interest in the villa?
It seems like the brand was ruthless and have not fulfilled payment and probably won't now.
These management companies have a lot to answer for too they clearly didn't do due diligence on their side either.

Also found her comment near the bottom about Ekin reaching out to her interesting given recent rumours 🙈

This!! I was just thinking the same - like do their management get a solicitor to review the brand contracts and do some due diligence into the brand? You think they would when it’s such a big contract!

I need to understand what was the reason behind some of these brands marketing last season.

Why did they automatically think that forking out thousands just for marketing was a good idea? Oh Polly sending Ekin to the US just for a photoshoot? Forever Unique sending Paige to Italy or Paris (tbh I can't remember 😂😂) again, just for a photoshoot?

Some of these brand deals were bound to fail. These brands were very greedy and automatically assumed that massive hype would equal massive sales

Exactly!! ESP Forever Unique forking out a 6 figure deal?!?! It’s not even a big brand. Found that so bizarre at the time, and still do.

I work in marketing and in my opinion influencer marketing is the laziest form of it. So many people just do it to tick a box but yeah Forever Unique didn't fall apart overnight so spending like they had it was bizarre.
