Yes at Marks & Spencer, well at least until she went on the show, by all accounts they won’t be having her back.
Imagine trying to get her to approve your refund 😳. If Jess was trying to give reasons not to refund we have the perfect riposte:
“.. well if you give it out then you have to accept it in return”. 🥹

This and your staff watching you how would you command their respect to do stuff when they would keep bringing up to your face what you said or did especially if they did not like you before you went in.
 
We love a Love Island recycle 🥴🥴🥴

Also this is just to give everyone PTSD of Sophie Piper saying “Connaaaaaaaa”

Second this! Even the main villa boys this year aren’t much.
I just seen a tiktok clip of season 4 and god there was some decent looking men that year. The boys that went to Casa from the main villa were Jack Fincham, Wes, Josh, Adam, Sam and gross Dr Alex. But the first five were genuinely good looking lads! Can honestly say none of the guys this year could even compete.

On a brighter note, I’m really looking forward to LI this week. I love Casa. Loads of new people, most of which have some weird chats trying to build a connection as soon as possible 😭. I hope you’re all ready for some dodgy Sean sweet chat again lol!! Here’s my predictions a week early;

- Nicole and Ciaran: Ciaran will stray but still come back single for Nicole
- Joey and Jessy: Joey kisses at least 2 girls at Casa and will recouple with one
- Jess and Trey: Both recouple with people they meet in Casa 👀
- Grace and Konor: Both recouple with Casa people obv
- Ayo and Mimi: Loyal, won’t do anything. Think Mimi will get annoyed over him chatting to a few girls though
- Uma and Will: Will will re-couple, Uma will chat but come back to Will single
- Matilda and Sean: Both will have chats, maybe even kiss but still come back together

I think that’s the point they’re making. Lucie received backlash for it but the mean girls of that year (Yewande, Anna and Amber) did not.

I still don’t get how what she said was racist to be honest. She’s saying that media has an agenda and has to keep a diverse cast in for a reasonable amount of time otherwise LI producers will get called racist. Which is absolute fact.

I don’t remember anyone taking the piss out of Arabella’s name but what I do remember is Lucie flat out refusing to learn how to say Yewande’s name properly. I am white, but I remember at school there would be teachers who would refuse to say names of some Asian and Black pupils properly because it was “too difficult” - and would ignore them when they would tell them how to pronounce it properly. It’s a racial microaggression. And before you come for me, yes this counts for white Irish people with Gaelic names too - I am one of them.

She absolutely did not say anything about the media having an agenda. She flat out said “Mimii will coast to the final just because she’s black”. Then proceeded to take the piss out of how black women speak with the “yasssss queeeen” comment. That is quite literally racism by definition.

Ayo and Mimii are clearly liked by their fellow Islanders and enough by the public, to have been kept in through the string of public votes and in-house decisions for dumpings. There is no agenda at play. ITV (as with other broadcasters) have to adhere to strict guidelines for public participation/voting in their shows, so there’s been no meddling by producers on that. Of course the cast is diverse, it would be fucking boring if it wasn’t!!

First paragraph; they 100% referred to Arabella as Arrabbiata at one point. The point I was trying to get across was it it’s just plain rude for anyone to not care enough to learn someone’s name - you’re spot on with your example of school teachers and the fact that it is quite often is a micro aggression. I don’t disagree. I had a friend at school that was legitimately called by her second name Zu because teachers could never remember her first name - she didn’t like it and her name isn’t even difficult to pronounce.

Second & third para; to be fair I didn’t click onto the “yasss queen” part having connotations of being black girl language. That’s not cool. I just gave her the benefit of the doubt with the media thing.

Just like some people are perfectly unabashed at sharing their racist little ‘observations’, others are quite rightly ok about commenting on the aforementioned racism. Then you will have others wanting to mediate or justify and the TolErAnt word gets thrown in. Then will be the inevitable ‘ohhh why are you lot banging on about race why does everything have to be about race it’s spoiling the fun thread for me I don’t want to have to think about that’…Oh well. Such is life! Sadly.

Looking forward to Casa later, and even more so to see if the men live up to their fabulous official photos 😂 can they at least introduce some guys who are tempting. This is the point, after all!

It doesn’t surprise me that Konor and Grace got votes, we all love Konor. But who the heck is voting for Uma and Will as their favourite couple????

Me. Not Will but Uma is lovely and I'm so glad that black women are finally being portrayed as nice and wantable (that's not a word) previously the black women have been dead and struggled to find connections but I love Uma for representation.

Irrelevant to the point of your post just a question of curiosity is Uma black or mixed?

I’d say they pay Iain a ridiculously high amount for fuck all work and fuck all quality. I doubt he’s trying to get sacked. I just don’t think he cares and he’s milking how little they expect of him at this point. The narrator role is so redundant at this point.

i just realised I haven't even noticed him say anything beside tonight / tomorrow night. Either they've reduced his script or I've tuned him out

Yeah Arabella entered before Casa

Yeah! IIRC her introduction to the villa was her laying out on a lounger and was spotted by Curtis at his opening shift at Costa
