Tanya and Shaq are a mess. They're both giving a lot of red flags.
I was upset with Shaq for saying so many " DON'T EVER" 's, that wasn't good at all. Even if it never escalates into something more angry or worse, no one wants to respond accordingly when you say it like that. When it's an order rather than a request.

And Tanya wasn't wrong for telling him that he was giving orders to her like that when he called her out for doing the same, and it's not even wrong to say it's reminding you of your ex, as in " this is one of the reasons I'm not with them" thing. I get how he could get ticked hearing that, but I don't think it was inherently bad of her to say. Just my 2c.

However, her jumping straight to "because I love you so much" and them continuing to say this more than we've ever heard anyone say ILY at this stage, is alarming given their incompatibility.

On another note, I think it was a bad idea to have Lana there to have a talk with him. I think he likes Lana actually, like would want to be coupled with her if he hadn't already gone so far in this direction, and so I think he especially felt embarrassed with her there telling him he was wrong. But if he can't ever hear that he's wrong or could have handled something differently without getting up in arms, it's not a good sign.
 
Sorry but if I was Tanya I could NEVER chat shit about my man to girls let alone tell them I had an ick. Regardless of how angry I was w my partner I would always respect them enough to keep our disputes in house not blurt them around for everyone to put their two pence in. And definitely shouldn’t have mentioned the ex thing. Uncalled for. I don’t think Shaq is annoyed that he was called out and can’t take when he’s been in the wrong cause he has apologised a few times, I think he just didn’t like HOW it was gone about which is fair enough tbh. In a couple someone you’re with should pull you privately, it’s different with mates. I think it’s mainly a respect principle for him.
Having said that he does still have a few red flags tho so can’t dispute that. But I think he really likes Tanya, I’m not sure I’m fully convinced on how much she likes (“loves”) him though

Cannot stand Ron, don’t know why so many people are starting to feel sorry for him? Lana needs to piss off from my screen too. Hate Liv, her bitchyness isn’t entertaining enough for her to stay wish she fucks off too. Her and Kai just got together on a whim think it’s all BS.

Quite like Samie and Tom. Will and Jess are my fav. Not sure on Casey and Claudia yet it’s been two days can’t be that serious there was simply no one else so was a default. So glad Ellie and her shite outfits have fucked off tho

I always forget he is there tbh.
Hard to believe at the beginning he was one all the OG girls said they had their eye on 😂 Until he opened his mouth.
I don't think he is awful at all - just desparately dull.

same here, not a bad guy from what I've seen, just seemingly not all there bless him. I'm sure he's nice enough IRL.
Tbf though, if he stayed with Olivia on the outside, she would absolutely steamroll him. He's not no gall about him so he'd be chewed out a lot.

It’s love island so things like that will come out even if she didn’t mention it to girls he would’ve said something

Wonder if they will release details of the Casa Amor people before Sunday. Expecting the usual low standard of male bombshells compared to the women! 😂

I noticed the villas are very close in the preview.

Apparently there's a girl going in from Glasgow who's identity is being kept secret. A few people online have thought it might be Talia Storm

I can't see the benefit to her going in this late. She already has half a million followers and a music career and although her entire "fame" is obviously purchased, I think she'd want to be an OG or early bombshell.
 
I'm only just catching up!! Fair play to Shaq for apologising to Ron before the girls telling him off lol. Hopefully thr divide isn't so obvious cos it makes it awkward to watch and even though everyone seems to hate Ron, it's not nice seeing someone feel really left out!

Interesting Casa this year, no real singles apart from Casey and Claudia. I hugely dislike Ron, but don’t think he will stray as looking for this hero love story edit. Who would have thought will and Jessie would be the strongest couple!

At Casa Ron is going to be more loyal than Jake ever was [obviously Ron does not possess the same amount of the loyalty gene as Georgia but he’ll work with what he’s got] 🤫😉.

yeah in all szns, all of them talk about their couple problems including the boys, not just tanya. shaq was telling will too. i guess it’s just standard in love island. but i also thought venting to friends about relationship issues is normal in the outside world lol

True, but her mentioning the ick over and over is ridiculous. Certain things about your partner you keep to yourself, but Tanya is airing it out on live TV/to the girls, including to Lana and Olivia. Imagine how Shaq will feel when he watches the show back. I like them but their self sabotage is astonishing
