Summer Love Island 2023 #12

[gimm3more]

Lots of people have had tours of the villa though - influencers, corporate sponsors of the show… I’ve mentioned that I actually know someone who’s been to the original villa before. She’s not really connected. The people who arrange the tours etc are not the same people who produce or cast the show. Her advantage comes from the fact that she’s an influencer, rather than her mum.

I don’t think people understand how insanely well Molly has *already* done by influencer standards. To clarify I hate influencer culture (it’s not a real job lmao) but she’s had deals with FemFresh, Motel Rocks, Steve Madden, Next, it luggage, Gymshark, Lush, Urban Outfitters, even PLT. Massive household names and brands for the target LI demographic of 18-34 year olds.
You’re right, some of those brands sponsor the show and likely hooked her up. It’s not that deep

21+ would be appropriate I think.
A lot of the popular islanders were only 20 though. Looking back I'm surprised how young some of them were at the time.

 

[Laika1234]

They’re never gonna make that the age bracket when they’re most successful islander was 20 though

They’ll never replicate Molly Maes success though. S5 was peak and all the girls from there found a lot of success. Nobody is going to get that nowadays.

 

[lavendervase]

Ahh first look. I don’t know, I’ve always kind of rooted for Ella and Ty.

Molly Mae wouldn't have done as well if she wasn’t with Tommy. She was never the viewers favourite when she was actually in LI, people only started to like her towards the end/when she came out. People liked them as a couple. If they broke up she would’ve been at the same level as Olivia Atwood and the rest of the semi-successful ex islanders. Molly knew what she was doing when she got With Tommy, she wants the fury name.

Jess is an hole. I get not liking Molly but that aside she’s only liked more than Molly because everyone hates Molly. It’s not because she’s actually a better, nicer or more authentic person.

Jess is protected by her relationship with Whitney, Catherine and Ella.

If she was in the friendship group with Kady and Leah she would have been dragged to hell and back for all the mean girl behaviour she’s showed since coming in the villa.

Agree. She's surrounded herself with likeable girls despite not being a particularly nice person herself.
Kady is meh...bit disappointed really. I forget leah is even in there sometimes.

This is a good point. I think it was a mix of her couple, the time (s5 was peak) and her personality. I remember how widely hated she was in there as well. It wasn’t Molly marsh levels but it was still a bit nuts. Especially because she wasn’t particularly bitchy or even dramatic.

Zachary is giving me Pete from Gogglebox

 

[IdeletedbutI'mbackagain]

So happy with First Look, really hope Ella brings Ouzy back also Ty dogging into that 19 year old made me feel ill

 

[Ginnyjo]

Ouzys clips really are an ick

Ouzys clips really are an ick

I just don't get the point of them, time to do something else with your hair if you have to resort to that like

I think Jess fits in with them because she has personality and even if she’s a witch, she’s herself and that’s the same with Ella Whitney and Catherine. What you see is what you get.

Kady, Leah and Molly are boring, play it safe, don’t have personality and give us zero flavour. All feels abit calculated and to me that’s worse than being an outright witch.

 

[tellmewhy]

Sorry if it’s been said because there are so many pages to catch up with but Molly is just one of those girls who looks like she’s performing. I know she’s on a tv show but it looks like she’s always breathing in, hand on hip, posing for a modelling shoot and it just rubs me up the wrong way.

 

[KittyScherbatsky]

The only other person I know who watches is my ex-boyfriend (I know, I need better friends) and he was all confused as to why lots of people aren't keen on Molly so I had to explain what a clout chaser is. Mind you he used to be a drama teacher so he should know a stage school brat when he sees one.

 

[tellmewhy]

When I saw people saying mollys mum was in Corrie I started wondering if it was Kim marsh both got the same amount of space between their eyes

 

[poppyseed1]

I don’t get what she wants from Zach, she was dumped and he moved on, time is limited there and they weren’t closed off what was he supposed to do ? Mourn for her ? and he might have been mentioning her but it was edited out.

They thought it would be enough to put them on a date together and show molly saying ‘if I could relive today again, I would’, ‘I’ve had the best day’ and that we’d all be angry when they were separated. She doesn’t seem like his type AT ALL so I never really bought in to it.

 

[chanel opi]

I have a little gossip for you all that is 100% fact! Lochan dated Jay’s ex who was on LI last year (the one Ekin Su kissed on the terrace) she’s called Emily & she was supposed to go on Casa Amor on Ekin’s season but she failed the psych test

 

[Evesdropping]

Turns out 19 year old Amber is only there for the brand deals .... shocker
