OMG have you guys seen this?? Click on the account and look at the rest of the videos it seems this girl is actually in casa amor. Something is telling me the producers are doing this to create more interest in this dull season

She’s part of the I Got A Text app! Islanders that are part of the real show aren’t allowed to announce publicly that they’re going on otherwise they get cut.

Rant back

I hate when people live in their lala land that when people mention race they go "Everything is about race" sorry if black people discussing issues that have been a perpetual issue is "pissing [you] off"

You know what pissess me of

1. A white man like Chuggs preaching he wants a blonde, blue eyes girl and then saying Rachel is "fiesty" "intriguing" anything but pretty
2. Sending two black girls into a villa where men do not want black women
3. Having to see Rachel and Kaz ensure things I've discussed on this forum on national TV

But oh so, no, it pisses YOU off. Us blacks will stop talking then.

You ask -- "Why is everything based off the colour of their skin and not who they are as people and you choose to like/dislike people on their words and actions not some weird world judgement" -- I'm choosing to dislike Chuggs on his WORDS which are microagressions towards black people, I'm choosing to not like the male cast because their ACTIONS have shown aversion to BW

I'll have a word with black twitter and tell them you're pissed off, hopefully that ends race issues they feel and see projected in the villa.

Once you have deleted twitter, maybe book a D&I course instead. 🙄

Jeez

Agree with every single word of what you just said. Also I'm sure people will stop 'making everything about race' when it stops being about race. It is known from previous seasons that ITV give less main screen time to black people (Yewande and Michael went missing for 3 episodes the other season) and they barely ever put black people on the show as they aren't the blonde hair, blue eyed ideal. More people need to talk about it imo, how much screaming and shouting would there be if there were less white people on? Loads. It shouldn't be a big deal that a black girl came in as a bombshell but it is because it hasn't happened before and that shouldn't be considered normal. In fact, a black girl/guy being a bombshell or even entering the main villa at all shouldn't come as a shock at all. Chuggs has said his 'type' is blonde hair, blue eyes which would insinuate to a white girl, he is therefore pretending that Rachel is his type to stay in. Maybe it is not obviously racist TO YOU (the OP) but to anyone with a little inch of morality and common sense, we can see to obvious issues that Love Island presents (I am speaking of recent season, I never saw before S4)

I would so watch this. One of my biggest lockdown achievements was perfecting a slow cooker chicken satay recipe 🤣

My boyfriend and I have started making an incredible beef stroganoff in our slow cooker, we also made an amazing Mac and cheese where the pasta was cooked in the sauce .. I’m hungry.
Speaking of food, I think a fun challenge on love island would be for the couple to cook together or something, like a couples master chef or something
 
Maybe I'm wrong but is it not the point of Love Island that they go away from their "usual type" which has been failing them at finding love before now!
Going solely on people's looks is stupid and they have to get to know each other. Look at Chloe and Faye. People's type "on paper" but then their personalities aren't matching at all!
If Chuggs had said his type was a dark girl and then a blonde pale girl walked in would their be the same outrage? Sorry if that is an insensitive question, I'm just trying to understand more!
And finally I think they honestly should be banned from talking about their "usual type" coz it makes for the most boring air time, is so unrealistic, is the worst conversation starter ever, and is just shallow as duck!!!! Obvs u have to have an initial attraction to someone but like I said in a previous post I could have blonde hair and blue eyes today, dye my hair and put in contact and have brown hair and eyes tomorrow!! So stupid!! And we are all here for the drama, that convo never brings any drama!!

I think when it comes to types, it’s something you grow out of in a way, when I was younger, I would have said tall, dark, handsome, nice teeth, muscular build bla bla bla, I’m nearly 27 now, and my boyfriend is 5’10, he has brown hair but he wouldn’t be considered ‘dark’, he has blue eyes (Younger me said she hated blue eyes lol) I think he’s handsome ofcourse, but he definitely wouldn’t be what younger me would say is her type, but who TF cares. My ex fitted my ‘type’ to a T and he was a dick!!!! Lol, As you get older you become more like Rachel who said she doesn’t have a type. I now have no time for women who are looking for some imaginary guy that they’ve made up in their head

Well yes, possibly there would be the same outrage. I think the key issue is they all go on about their 'type' so much like it's set in stone and any veering away from that makes them seem like they're lying to save their own backs. If they all went in without a 'type' and just went where the wind took them then I think the series would be a lot better as you say. I think they're all missing the point of the show right now. Like how many times has Jake (for example) said he likes blonde hair and blue eyes? It's literally all he says and then if someone walked in the opposite and he said 'she's my type' you just wouldn't believe it. Same goes for the other lads

Now I want this stroganoff recipe!
would LOVE to see a cooking challenge. I always enjoy when they send a couple to the supermarket. More ‘normal couple activities’ challenges instead of these ridiculous James Bond wobble board ones would be great!

Yeah and Jake’s literally with a girl who is blonde with blue eyes… and he’s still not happy lol, which shows that people can have these features that you deem as your ideal, but it doesn’t mean anything, because people have different personalities.. and also not every blonde to exist is even attractive, so it’s stupid to be so hung up on it lol

I must admit I found the wobble board challenge hilarious! Best part of the episode! But I agree, I’d like more ‘normal’ couple stuff challenges, I think in the past theyv done the building IKEA furniture challenge which I quite liked
 
I have just started watching series 3 as I only really got in to LI from series 4. This current series is definitely slow to get off the ground. I actually don’t want Brad to go, I think someone else said on here he is painfully shy and that has hit the nail on the head. I’d love to see him fall head over heels for someone on there and see what he would be like!

ETA - Caroline was such a good host 😞. Really shows how much Laura Whitmore is not the right fit, agree with everyone saying Maura would be fab! Xx

Black people discussing issues doesn't piss me off. I said when I go on twitter and the whole timeline to do with Love Island is about race that pisses me off. Literally everything I'm shown is about race, I'm not in lalaland I know racism exists and I know people can talk about love island without race being brought into it but as I've said and I'm not exaggerating all I've seen on twitter was about race.

1. I agree, that pisses me off too! And I completely understand when certain words are used it can be very hurtful when that's what's always put out there. It's nothing new though, someone acting like they like someone in order to be saved.
2. I don't understand how you know the men do not want black women. And if they don't then a new one might come in and like them. And even if none of them like black women why does that mean they can't go in?
3. I don't know what you've discussed and it must piss you off seeing something that you or someone else has endured. It pisses me off too.

I said I'm having a rant and I described what pisses me off and I've never told anyone that what they are saying isn't worth talking about. I was saying that I wanted to see memes etc about other things happening in the villa not purely race based.

And that's completely right to not like Chuggs based off what he's saying and while I've seen some other guys act a certain way to the black women I havent seen all of them but if you have then don't like them. That's the point I was making don't like someone by their actions. On twitter lots people just plainly don't like certain people and it's not clear to me where they've got that from.

Also I'd just like to add even though I don't need to because for some reason you're speaking to me personally so now I feel to be personal talking to you. You have no idea what I look like or who my parents, grandparents, siblings and boyfriend look like. You've obviously got a preconceived idea and don't know how you came to that.

I don't know where me not having morals has come in to this? I know about the problems of representation on TV and film and reality, I know! And I see little micro expressions! I know racism exists. From what I've seen on twitter literally everything that happens in the villa is to do with race... Wtf? No it's not! Different people have different tastes, different personalities thank god. Why is someone's preference bad? Why is it racist to fancy a blonde girl? (Btw have you seen an actual blonde girl, not bottle blonde on there?) Yes it's annoying when they put the same sort people in all the time! I think most people are annoyed about the lack of diversity in everyway but doesn't mean the people who are in there are racist ( from what I've seen a couple are). Again my previous post was about twitter making everything about race in relation to love island and how it pisses me off.
