You have to be so confident and sure of yourself to go on this show and I actually don’t know how they do it.
Being left until last in a recoupling would be my worst nightmare, it makes me so sad for them 😭

I started tearing up about poor Charlie (I think this might be jet lag tho, it’s usually sponsor an animal adverts but apparently it’s love island too now)

Judging by first look, I think Ekin goes first of the last three guys - Davide, Jay and Charlie.

Danica and Charlie definitely going home. If two couples go as it’s before Casa I think Antigoni and Jay or Tasha and Andrew

Haha love it ekin choosing between her 3 love island exes.

do we know a couple is being voted off soon? Wonder if it’s the compatibility one.

producers will be wanting tasha and Andrew together for casa so they will put in agirl that is in to Andrew and try see if he will sway.

think Paige and Jacques they’ll also try make
Them worry the other has moved on
 
Ok so in the words of a great philosopher, boss babe ( sarcasm) we all have the same 24hours. So why are we seeing the same boring chats in the morning, with girls on terrace, boys elsewhere. We are not in year 6. then removing their bloody make up and sleeping. Can we not just see the day to day stuff they get up to! Did they learn nothing from last year?. The best bits show really highlights how much stuff we really miss, that’s actually far more entertaining than someone brushing their teeth and watching them sleep! Ans we see different sides of their personality and real friendships etc. even they parties they have we get a 5 second dance slo mo clip. Before people are pulling people for chats they didnt want to have.
 
Not sure why Gemma is saying that Danica could pick Davide when realistically after he mugged her off at the last recoupling she probably ruled him out as an option.

Based on Ekin-Su’s speech though it seems like she goes before Antigoni, so realistically she’ll pick Davide or Charlie and Antigoni could end up with either Davide or Jay. I just hope the producers were smart enough to let Danica go before Tasha, because I’d love to see Tasha’s face liked a slapped arse when she steals Andrew.
 
Just been catching up on what I missed - this thread was so accurate and more enjoyable than the shows.

i felt like the girls were SO mean about Charlie’s performance - it wasn’t great but they didn’t need to be mean about it, some of theirs weren't great either - looking at you Paige)

Also, really like Andrew but I was getting the ick over how buzzing with himself he was about raising heart rates, it’s the most animated I’ve ever seen him.

I can't believe Paige just sat on his lap while he spoke to her like a piece of crap. I would have been off

someone said on the last thread she must’nt have much self respect or self esteem.. but I don’t think it’s that.

I think that being treated like that has been normalised at some point for Paige. And probably for lots of other women, based on the reception Jacques has gotten on social media.

my parents basically brought me up to put their feelings before my own and used guilt and shame if I didn’t do exactly what they wanted. My own wants/needs were pretty much ignored (among other things). So this just became second nature to me growing up and I never questioned it. It’s just how I behaved without thinking. Naturally when I started dating then, my ex using guilt to control me didn’t set off any alarms. That was just the type of behaviour I was used to. I guess I was never taught what self respect looked like, I wasn’t taught that I didn’t have to feel guilty for speaking up for what I wanted.

it took me a few dodgy relationships, a lot of self awareness and a bit of therapy to realise how my parents treatment of me had set me up to fall victim to the type of man Jacques is. I wanted to date nice men, I just didn’t have that behaviour modelled for me so it was like going into the dating world blindfolded.

my older self watching Paige makes me want to scream at the TV. Jaques was so rude and needlessly aggressive in that conversation. her dismissing her feelings is typical of what I used to do. When she finally opens up he treats her like she’s being a brat, instead of what an emotionally healthy man would do; validate her feelings, empathise and offer reassurance.

At least she confronted him on that point. The love of Jacques and Paige as a couple that I’ve seen on other social media just makes me dispair.

im not sure if it was in this forum or on social media but I’m sure I read that someone knew him and couldn’t believe how good the editing was in his favour. I can readily believe he’s worse behind what we’ve seen.

at this point I think the producers have almost an ethical duty to start showing Jacques in his true colours. I’m not sure if they like to involve themselves in the relationships but I also think a therapist should be speaking to Paige to address some of the behaviour Jacques has been exhibiting and how this teeters dangerously close to being abusive.

the real story arc I want to see is Jacques getting access to therapy, realising he has a lot of toxicity that needs addressing and leaving the island to work on his relationship with his anger and how he relates to women. THAT would be a real breakthrough TV moment instead of this endless romanticising of abuse or normalising it for the sake of drama.

100% this! I’d love if on aftersun instead of random ‘celebs’ they’d have psychologists or relationship experts commenting on the goings on like they used to on big brother in the early days.
 
Aftersun seems like a haphazard chaotic afterthought, with the right presenter it could rival BBLB which at times had more drama and entertainment than the main big brother show. Annoying Whitless, former contestants who are just bored and want to fulfil their contractual obligations coupled with boring guests means it’s mostly unwatchable.
