Can you explain this to me please? Because she is augmenting her colour is it? Genuinely wondering

I don't know if you saw the photo but she altered her skin colour to the point where her race could be questionable which could be akin to black fishing not saying she is. It's a lot more complex than just posting a photo like that as most girls on Instagram try to look racially ambiguous these days doesn't necessarily mean they're black fishing. The Jesy Nelson fiasco is a good example as it wasn't just the skin colour (although that can be the case) it was the cultural appropriation, mannerisms, style and negative portrayal of black men on her music video combined. There's plenty of information online if you'd like to educate yourself on why it is not OK for these girls or anyone to darken their skin to a point they appear as a person of colour i.e. blackfishing

i thinks it’s more that they see how successful they can be as ‘couple goals’
just look at the previous winner amber gill who hasn’t really blown up because she’s single. especially couples like liam and millie, they’re so young that even if they just stay together for a few years for the popularity and deals it brings them and break up after they still have enough time to meet new partners and have children/ marriage ect. that’s my personal opinion.

I hear what you're saying but also, couples tend to fall flat too. Siannse and Luke t for an example, were hyped up but I can't really think of any great success they've had together. But I do still agree you can be more successful in a couple, depending on if you're both liked though.

Amber only failed because she's a lazy influencer. She gave up on her YouTube channel, she doesn't create much content on Instagram, she doesn't seem to do anything. It's all down to herself, I don't think it's down to her being single. Amber is very boring.

I’m sure I read something once that said they have to wait 6 months if they want to break up, something to do with their contracts or something, could be a load of tosh 🤣

The rumour of the six month contract came about in the after the fourth season were a lot of the couples seemed to break up six months after the show ended. Then the 2019 season ended and most of the couples broke up in a matter of weeks seemingly blowing that theory out of the water.

I don't think anyone making the show cares if it's contestants stay together, I certainly don't think they make them sign a contract. I do however think the agents they get strongly encourage them to stay in their couples as that's how they stay most relevant, get the most instagram engagement and make them more attractive to brands. I do think there's a few genuine couples that only really stay together for the sake of their careers.

There's been a few sham romances too; Rebecca and Biggs were outed by Biggs' ex girlfriend who aired his texts wanting to secretly be with her while he faked it with Rebecca and allegedly Samira and Alex were full on fake but only came to an end when he got careless being seen with other women. Georgia Steel was also pressured to stay with Sam Bird even though she had no interest in him, this unbeknownst to him who thought the relationship was real.

I'd say Siannise and Luke are outliers. They seem very private and Siannise has said that other than meeting Luke she regrets going on Love Island. They don't seem the type to exploit their relationship.

There seemed to be very little interest in Amber from the moment she won which is strange as you'd think brands and TV shows would want to focus on the-then most popular islander and first poc winner. Previously the deals seemed to be spread out a bit more evenly among the girls but it seemed that year Molly and Maura hoovered up all the deals. I think Greg saw this and decided to bolt and focus on opportunities in Ireland - still if he'd stayed with her I think she'd have gotten a bit more work of the back of the relationship. True, she hasn't always acquitted herself well in public (then again the same could be said for many islanders including Molly and Maura) and has shown a lack of interest in her influencing career but her new management seem to at least seem to be doing better things for her.
 
unedited photo of lib, so much for being true to herself 🥱

What on earth were Millie and Liberty wearing? I thought Faye looked nice and dressed accordingly for the event. I don't really understand how any of them got invited to be honest.

chloes dress was very booby too

I love Millie and think she’s gorgeous, but don’t get why she gels her hair to her head for these events, it was so much nicer how she styled it in the villa

Millie never dresses to flatter herself. Like I look through her IG and her style is awful and doesn't suit her. It's like she saw it on someone else n thought she would look good in it too. Look through her old ig posts, she dresses like a 12 year old. So I can't k.agine her getting a fashion deal, it wouldn't be fair to people who can actually dress

Apparently she already has a deal with ASOS it just hasn’t been announced yet, to be fair to her I doubt she picked this dress, I blame her stylist. I liked her fashion in the villa a lot
