Anyone else think LI has a limited shelf life after this season? Someone once described it as a parody of heterosexual dating, and I kind of get it. But with Women's Aid putting out statements again and again about gaslighting etc, use of racial slurs, the sad loss of Caroline Flack, I think it has had its day.
Yes, can't understand why they don't have different sexualities, it happened in S2 but never again.
 
To be honest I'm kind of on Hugo's side regarding a potential partner. The guy is obviously switched on and will be fully aware the production team are setting him up by throwing in this English rose traditional blonde for him. May be he wants to be able to pick his own match , and if he's not feeling it fair play hes not just keeping them sweet to coast to the final. He'll understand fully that his time will shortly be up if he hasn't got a solid coupling up.

Maybe he is fussy and looking for that special type, so why just pretend or force something that isn't there just for the benefit of others..
tbf i completely agree by normal standards of dating, but just seems a shame he's been kept in when others who are being more proactive have had to go home - especially since this series has been so dry like i think im more annoyed at production for letting it happen 😂

I totally agree sadly. I think it’s going the same way as Big Brother/X Factor etc. Great to be begin with when people didn’t know what to expect from it but I think, especially in this current series, it’s seen as a way to gain fame. I don’t think there are many people in there to ‘find love’, it’s more about getting to the final and what happens after. I feel like every series it’s going to get more and more contrived as people learn what works and what gets the public behind you and all that kind of thing
 
What I have issue with regarding Hugo is how he changes the way he speaks when he’s around the POC male islanders.

- on the first coupling when Laura Whitmore was there, he said “my brudda” to Aaron
- when talking about the swerved kiss with Aaron and Lucinda he was in a group with Teddy, Aaron and Toby (?) and said “man left his bean bag bruv”
- last night he called Tyler “brother”

I just think it’s bizarre that he only speaks this way to the black or mixed Islanders but speaks like a posh boy to everyone else.
I think its cos he thinks black boys are cooler and he's trying to show then he's down with it. He probably talks proudky about his "black mates" He's a silly melt.
 

This should be interesting especially if newbies pick first. Chloe could be on her way home !!
Another recoupling already? I’m guessing this is the last one before Casa Amor then.

Just realised that it’ll be yet ANOTHER girl being dumped. We haven’t had a single recoupling where a boy has been dumped, cba.
 
I'd like to see another celebrity/z lister version.
I'd love to see Cheryl Tweedy and Kimberley bitching on the terrace about Lorraine Kelly's barely there bikini or Arg from towie chatting up Carol Vorderman whose head has been turned by an obscure twenty something tik tok star. I suppose they'd have to make sure to send chezza out on a date on the days the toilet cleaner comes in.
 
And Hugo is too picky who does he think he is
I was really rooting for him to find a gal tbh, and i get these girls might not be his type. But he’s doing to much now there can be no replica of dr alex just like lucinda needs to know there is no replica of molly-mae okay!!!
I dont usually comment on peoples looks and i hope this post doesnt come across the wrong way,but has anyone noticed the way hugo walks on tiptoes all the time,does he have a disability?
yeag he a foot disability i think it’s called taplias or something i can’t remember
 
I'm over this season, another bleeping recoupling tonight 24 hours after the bombshells arrive, Abigail Love pack your bags-she wasnt given enough time to steal Toby, he's interested but i don't think she'll be successful, the producers need to give the bombshells more time, its ridiculous throwing them in and having a dumping next day, the odds are stacked against them,Never remember this happening in earlier seasons, its a joke, Abigail could steal toby if given time but she wont hell choose Chloe,theylll make up and move on-boring! also why the duck are the boys picking AGAIN for the 4th time while the girls only chose once, its ridiculous
 
I don’t know if it’s just me that’s picked up on this but faye is so insecure that she likes and over obsesses over anyone that isn’t a competition to her. With AJ she said to lucinda and millie that she wasn’t worried about her and that she rates herself above AJ but then hugged her so much on the first night and over complimented her. She did the same thing with Georgia last night. She knows there is no way teddy could like her and doesn’t find her attractive so is treating her way tooo special, once again hugging and overcomplimenting her on the first night. She never said one word about abigail however, because she’s threatened by pretty girls and stays clear.Even with Lucinda she was like why didn’t u leave with brad and got so upset by it when it literally had nothing to do with her. she most probably wanted her to go so she would feel less threat.

Surely the newbies will be able to choose first and will be excluded from dumping? Otherwise that would be totally ridiculous and unfair.. I also think they should go back to keeping some of the ‘dumped’ islanders in, as it makes the show abit more interesting
 
Talipes/club foot.
He had many operations growing up.

I know a few have said it’s not much of a disability, but having an operation every couple of years through most of your childhood, being in full leg casts and having to grow back your strength is a lot for a child to deal with. You can see he has some wastage in his calves and clearly walks on his tiptoes.
Not to mention the teasing.

They have much better ways of dealing with it now a days. Most children can “just” have boots and a bar as a baby, but some still need operations.

That being said, I was a big fan of Hugo I’m the first week or two. I really can’t be arsed with him now and his attitude is a load of tit!
Other than her terrible bikini choice, I really like her. A natural beauty. (I’ll ignore that she’s a horse person 😬)
