I just made this exact statement as a post that is in queue, but it seems better as a comment here:
Okay, l've just watched the first episode of After Sun for this season and is it just me, or was there some bashful/awkward vibes between Maya and Chris?Were they feeling some feels or is the joint I just hit going to my head š§š¤£š¬
Refreshingly progressive without being overly American, LI UK always seems a couple decades behind times. Nice that Iain is still there, know if the previous seasons are worth watching?
I like Grace but I don't want her and Joey to couple up anymore.
Yes Samantha will go bonkers and destroy the villa, but then it's quite obviously Joey Island and they'll make the final by default.
I want Grace to lead Joey on but pursue other options and couple up with someone else to entice Joey for a more meaningful and interesting storyline.
Ronnie and Ciaran are pretending to be Sam and Joey on a date. On the actual date Joey is talking about all the times he got sacked from jobs.
In the Beach Hut the islanders are talking about their celebrity crushes. Omarās* is Princess Jasmine. The girls fancy young Leonardo DiCaprio except Sam, who likes old Leonard DiCaprio. Mimiās crush is Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars š¤£
* I wasnāt looking and assumed it was Munveer because of the Aladdin thing
Some more:
Joey has a very specific morning oats routine and had his favourite oats shipped into the villa
Harriett did a Demi by falling down the stairs while holding wine
The boys bench pressed Joey in the gym
Sam taught Omar some Scouse, Nicole was giving Welsh lessons
They all discussed farting group chats. Samās BIL got kicked out of one of them for farting too much? idk
Same same š Might just be the mod on hols, there was one for last week. It was a lot quieter than the normal shows, but hopefully itāll be back in action next Saturday.
Iād love Casa to be a mix this year.
Half the OG boys and girls in the original
Villa, and half the OG boys and girls in the Casa villa. It would be a better angle to watch the mix of genders either encouraging or disapproving of eachother moving mad.
That conversation just there on Unseen Bits is actually appalling. Youāre telling me there are (at least) four English-speaking adults with jobs in the UK that donāt know who the prime minister is?? And they have the right to vote??
I know I live in a bit of a bubble, but genuinelyā¦how. I donāt get it.
Ciaran and Nicole had no idea. Joey seemed like he maybe he knew but was pretending not to so he could make conversation. Sam recalled that his name was āRicky Sunakā.
Does anyone else cringe when the new islanders come in and theyāre like āIām here for loveā. When that will said it lastnight my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head ! 23 š¤¦āāļø
On Unseen Bits Omar had a book! I didn't think they were allowed books! It didn't look like a handbook for the islanders, it looked like a regular paperback.
I just thought y'all should know that there is a man on US Love Island that is so jacked and top heavy that he walks weird and Iain Stirling is having the time of his life coming up with descriptions for him.

Get leanne on li allstars 2 pls.
You know exactly what i meant and i just wanted to also include Asian Islanders like Ruchee etc.who would also have a rough time in there.
Since they aren't most of these peoples prefrence since they go by hair colour.
Lightskin/ mixed people especially the ones who tend to look more like their white side obviously have it easier.
We all know that.
They also shouldn't just have one token one( they will just have the worst time).
Also Kaz did not gain much at all and said it wasn't a nice experience for her and that she wanted to go but they kept her in by making false promises.
I also think that a lot of the POCS Islander will decline especially seeing how it went for Kaz and Tyler.
But we will see!
Uma was brought in early because she is meant to have her own jounrey and not to be a "test" for the other couples which at that point there were none.
The producers for Love Island UK always go for a certain angle to create tension and play into the audience's cynicism. I doubt they would try to subvert it in any meaningful way.

This isn't twitter šāāļø
I feel like the producers are noticing that the islanders feel self conscious when exploring new connections while everyone is watching and listening, so I feel like they are coming up with new ways to let them have privacy so in turn more drama can take place. Hopefully we still get regular Casa with new people coming in.
I noticed this season couples donāt really hang out together throughout the day. Or maybe they havenāt shown it? Itās usually the Ayo Ronnie Ciaran trio together most of the time. The girls are mostly together in diff groupings. Joey floats about either instigating or tutoring Harriet (or both lol).

Tyrique supporting Ronnie and Ayo isnāt surprising at all š„“
I am hot and cold on Ty but the pre order comment didnāt sit right with me either. Talking about girls like they are objects?
https://preview.redd.it/ufbap958lr6d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f4ce3ba56a0d0a307548118d33e63be87f4b8e2
Heās just so disgusting āpre orderā like sheās an item. Finding out heāsa actual friends with Ronnie makes sense with the way they talk about women
https://preview.redd.it/d5ssjdrcsr6d1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dc5bd1494615712bdf962fb0d50a9f867371b3e
I saw this screenshot floating around about Uma. His snaps are icky
Iām getting annoyed about the comments about the girlsā appearance this season. If a woman has a flat ass, big teeth or poorly done cosmetic procedures people are exceptionally rude about it. If Uma had a botched BBL she would be mocked to the end of time. People make these rude comments and wonder why all these girls are going under the knife. Ty is a dickhead he didnāt need to post a rude comment.Ā
Mr. Twirl for Me and āshe wasnāt mine it was just my turnā wasnāt like this? He always spoke disrespectfully to women. No surprise he speaks disrespectfully about them as well.
Ngl Grace coming in + Joey being there has broken my suspension of disbelief.
So Joey Essex comes in, obviously going to have a brief from the producers as he's Joey fucking Essex. Grace then comes in who just so happens to be a very recent former fling, and he seems to jump straight to her just in time for their new sleepover twist...
Let's just say it's all a tad convenient.
He also said they were speaking a couple months ago and the application process takes like 4 months doesnāt it?? I think they both knew theyād be there tbh
And to her I would bet. They might've asked him for girls he'd been involved with over the last little while, scoped them out, then proposed the show to Grace.
As I a bit of politics nerd I wonder whatās going on with the election. Do you guys reckon theyāll be any mention of the election in the villa. I know most of the islanders probably donāt vote. But I wonder if theyāll tell them the results or just keep them in the dark till they come out. I know they probably wonāt because of how ITV tries itās best to keep away from even slightly controversial issues but It would be interesting as we donāt know when the next Love island and election could be together.
This twist is acc so messy because if will takes uma to casa we all know how she feels about kissing in love triangles and shes close to jess and sam so she will definitely snitch if anything happens. So we wont even have to wait untill movie night to see samantha blow up that villa if joey/grace kiss.Ā
You donāt think theyāll all be taken to private areas? Idk why I had that in my head š Now Iām imagining them all just bed to bed in one small room lmao
Only for him to still be looking for someone else. š„²š„²š„²
I legit think if he knew they were that loved outside he would stick & not move on real madness.
I just made this exact statement as a post that is in queue, but it seems better as a comment here: Okay, l've just watched the first episode of After Sun for this season and is it just me, or was there some bashful/awkward vibes between Maya and Chris?Were they feeling some feels or is the joint I just hit going to my head š§š¤£š¬
Was unseen bits worth watching?
I never used to but this seasons been good
I thought it was a pretty good one
Thanks! Iāll catch up
Started LI USA for the first time and though initially jarring almost caught up this season it's banging š«¶ Thanks for all the recs š
I'm so done with the LI UK ex on the beach, thankfully LI USA saves this LI season.
Refreshingly progressive without being overly American, LI UK always seems a couple decades behind times. Nice that Iain is still there, know if the previous seasons are worth watching?
LI USA season 2 and 4 were good. Other seasons I didn't finish, they were really bad.
S5 was much better than 4 lol
Jess and Sean need to break up immediately. that's mine and my brother's names. this makes me sick to my stomach.
Maximum akwardddd
lol I hope yall watch it togather
Between UK and USA Love Island is absolutely eatin this summer
Grace looks a bit like Bella Hadid or Jennifer Lawrence
Just catching up on last nights episode, i canāt stop looking at Grace sheās so freaking pretty š
Just found out Jess is a retail manager and it all suddenly makes sense lmao
Joey's teeth look like Ross's from that episode in friends
š¤£š¤£
š
Omar showed more personality in that unseen bits. Also him and mimii showed a lot more chemistry than what she and ayo has
I like Grace but I don't want her and Joey to couple up anymore. Yes Samantha will go bonkers and destroy the villa, but then it's quite obviously Joey Island and they'll make the final by default.

Just watched his oat making skills.. now I want to make them like his š
Not lighting mcqueen MIMI
Lorraine is delightful though š„°
No Unseen Bits discussion thread š I really like it, get to see peopleās actual personalities.
I came here to see if there was a reason why I couldn't find it. Are we just not doing those this season? I need my parasocial social hour :(
Same same š Might just be the mod on hols, there was one for last week. It was a lot quieter than the normal shows, but hopefully itāll be back in action next Saturday.
It's better than the regular show!
Surprise surprise margot robbie and (young) leo dicaprio
MOB MOB!!!!! core memory unlocked
princess jasmine šš oh omar
I donāt blame him lol Jasmine is easily one of the prettiest Disney princesses
i have had a few cartoon crushes so no judgement here
It was Prince Eric for me! š¤£š¤£
Ronnie&ciaran as joey and samantha is jokes but also accurate
Soo much Joey......
Did not expect Ciaran to be the funny one roly poly mob mob š
Munveer actually has a personality on unseen bits
Also Omar
Joey āThe Porridge-manā Essex was not on my 2024 bingo card.
It is annoying when people let your food cold before they eat it
Harriett being a good sport about being named the snakiest islander by Nicole. āYeah I wouldāve picked me too.ā
It looked like they cut out the kiss? Bit weird.
I initially misheard it too, but I think the dare was āhissā, not kiss! And they showed the hiss!
Ohhh lmao. I thought kiss because of the Harriet-Jess kiss but there was a hiss, youāre right.
Iād love Casa to be a mix this year. Half the OG boys and girls in the original Villa, and half the OG boys and girls in the Casa villa. It would be a better angle to watch the mix of genders either encouraging or disapproving of eachother moving mad.
I feel like that would discourage moving mad cause your boys/girls friends are watching. Plus no need for movie night than
That conversation just there on Unseen Bits is actually appalling. Youāre telling me there are (at least) four English-speaking adults with jobs in the UK that donāt know who the prime minister is?? And they have the right to vote?? I know I live in a bit of a bubble, but genuinelyā¦how. I donāt get it.
I donāt just donāt understand how they could have missed that, especially as this is the first pm of colour weāve had???? š
who didnāt know?
Joey, Samantha, Ciaran, and Nicole
Thatās pathetic š
yikes, political apathy is one of my biggest pet peeves š«£
Ciaran and Nicole had no idea. Joey seemed like he maybe he knew but was pretending not to so he could make conversation. Sam recalled that his name was āRicky Sunakā.
oh dearā¦.now when you mean sam do you mean samantha?
Yeah Samantha. Not sure if youāre watching or not so minor spoiler but man Sam was first out.
They may have the right to vote but I somehow doubt they are making use of that right.
once i heard them debating if the earth was flat i lost hope
Does anyone else cringe when the new islanders come in and theyāre like āIām here for loveā. When that will said it lastnight my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head ! 23 š¤¦āāļø
Only Sam knows who the Prime Minister is. She called him Ricky but close enough.
On Unseen Bits Omar had a book! I didn't think they were allowed books! It didn't look like a handbook for the islanders, it looked like a regular paperback.
Hello Unseen Bits bitches š
Watching unseen bits and I never realised the extra beds now have their own room? Thatās wild, feel like that has potential for dramaā¦
not unseen bits being the most mimi and omar weāve seen
Omar has got more screen time today than in all previous episode together š
why are they kind of great together rn
needing the unseen bits thread to discuss joeys exotic birmingham frogs pls x
@mods where is the unseen bits thread?
No Unseen Bits thread today?
Joey spends his big celeb bucks on frog habitats

whats the hairbrand ad with maya that comes on when love island is on? someone please help me šš¼
Beauty Works
thank you
Beauty works if youāre looking for her extensions ? X
I just thought y'all should know that there is a man on US Love Island that is so jacked and top heavy that he walks weird and Iain Stirling is having the time of his life coming up with descriptions for him.
That man has the most ridiculous walk Iāve ever seen
Which one lol
I think his name is Connor? The one thatās dorito shaped
Did anybody ever watch LI South Africa šæš¦ Iām watching it now and Iām actually enjoying it.
It's definitely different but I enjoyed it

Since it was such a good experience for Kaz on the first one lol. Allstars ain't it for any POCs.
Also wdym āany pocsā it sure as hell worked out for Sophie
You know exactly what i meant and i just wanted to also include Asian Islanders like Ruchee etc.who would also have a rough time in there. Since they aren't most of these peoples prefrence since they go by hair colour. Lightskin/ mixed people especially the ones who tend to look more like their white side obviously have it easier. We all know that.
Then you should have said what you meant
Letās not be dense, commenter is talking about black women like Kaz and Leanne. Donāt think I remember any of the guys seriously persuing Kaz.
Iām not ābeing denseā they fuckin said āany pocsā if they meant dark skinned black women they should have said that š
Well theyāre not gonna do allstars with zero black people. If nothing else, she can increase her follower count and get some bag.
They also shouldn't just have one token one( they will just have the worst time). Also Kaz did not gain much at all and said it wasn't a nice experience for her and that she wanted to go but they kept her in by making false promises. I also think that a lot of the POCS Islander will decline especially seeing how it went for Kaz and Tyler. But we will see!
I agree with you i just donāt realistically believe itv wonāt include black islanders in their lineup.
I think that the producers should have brought in Uma after Ayo and Mimii were stronger. It would have tested the whole type thing more.
Uma was brought in early because she is meant to have her own jounrey and not to be a "test" for the other couples which at that point there were none.
Nah he was never real serious about mimii. She just isnt his type. I think that he said that his celebrity crush is zendaya and tyla
I think they should brought in both girls as OGs. So all the 3 can have their choice at beginning. Uma and Mimi as OGĀ
The producers for Love Island UK always go for a certain angle to create tension and play into the audience's cynicism. I doubt they would try to subvert it in any meaningful way.
I agree with this
I think that because it was such early days for Ayo and Mimii, he was always going to explore his attraction to Uma.

If Casa is so early this year, I wonder if Movie Night will be early as well? š¤
Theyāre probably gonna do regular casa this year too but the new bombshells get to pick an islander of their choice to go the casa villa
Iām pretty sure theyāre still having regular Casa but Sunday will just be the bombshells being able to use the Casa villa
I feel like the producers are noticing that the islanders feel self conscious when exploring new connections while everyone is watching and listening, so I feel like they are coming up with new ways to let them have privacy so in turn more drama can take place. Hopefully we still get regular Casa with new people coming in.
They need an early movie night to cause some people to open their eyes
I wish tonight wasnāt unseen bits
I noticed this season couples donāt really hang out together throughout the day. Or maybe they havenāt shown it? Itās usually the Ayo Ronnie Ciaran trio together most of the time. The girls are mostly together in diff groupings. Joey floats about either instigating or tutoring Harriet (or both lol).
Atleast few episodes when they didn't show Ciaran and Nicole at all they were chilling most of the time together in background.

Right š not surprising they are friends but nobody could ever make me hate Ty

Sorry I donāt understand what the commenter is saying here? Can someone explain?
Saying she has no bum
Eww he is so fkn gross

If Uma had a botched BBL she would be mocked to the end of time. People make these rude comments and wonder why all these girls are going under the knife. Ty is a dickhead he didnāt need to post a rude comment.Ā
He needs to be cancelled
gross.
Eww no wonder Ella dumped him. Absolutely disgusting and icky.
Wtf I swear he wasnāt like this something off about him recently
Mr. Twirl for Me and āshe wasnāt mine it was just my turnā wasnāt like this? He always spoke disrespectfully to women. No surprise he speaks disrespectfully about them as well.
Heās always been a prick.Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The dm part isnāt the issue obviously itās saying preorder as if she is an object
The preorder bit is actually disgusting. What is wrong with him.
glad I am not the only one who felt this way when I saw it didnāt even know about the Uma one and found out on replies
Gaffer Tyrique left his spirit in the villa
Ronnie and Ayo arenāt the same as Tyrique ,so I donāt understand the comparison š
I just meant his general messiness, not that they're the same š
They are not same as Ty though. These guys doing way too much. At least Ty knew who he wanted. Ayo and Ronnie don't know what they wantĀ
Knew who he wanted but still messed her about for weeks. Different flavors of sleaze.
what a walking red flag and ick this guy is
Ty has been friends with Ronnie for years
This explains a lotĀ
š his friends are always so problematic
nicole reminds me of young nicole richie in the simple life
Ngl Grace coming in + Joey being there has broken my suspension of disbelief. So Joey Essex comes in, obviously going to have a brief from the producers as he's Joey fucking Essex. Grace then comes in who just so happens to be a very recent former fling, and he seems to jump straight to her just in time for their new sleepover twist... Let's just say it's all a tad convenient.
Thought this too. A bit too coincidental especially if they end up together.
He also said they were speaking a couple months ago and the application process takes like 4 months doesnāt it?? I think they both knew theyād be there tbh
well tbh i dont think he went through the regular application process, itv probably reached out to him
And to her I would bet. They might've asked him for girls he'd been involved with over the last little while, scoped them out, then proposed the show to Grace.
Iām also finding it way too convenient š
Its a bit of a leap but it would explain why he's not fully in with Samantha if he's been waiting this to happen.
I agree, even if it's not a set up, if they get together now and stay together, they will win and it's really not fair to the rest of the islanders.
As I a bit of politics nerd I wonder whatās going on with the election. Do you guys reckon theyāll be any mention of the election in the villa. I know most of the islanders probably donāt vote. But I wonder if theyāll tell them the results or just keep them in the dark till they come out. I know they probably wonāt because of how ITV tries itās best to keep away from even slightly controversial issues but It would be interesting as we donāt know when the next Love island and election could be together.
In Unseen Bits today, they showed that like half the islanders didnāt even know who the prime minister is
They will probably tell them because if they donāt a bombshell probed up telling them anyways
At most I feel like weāll just have Iain mention it briefly in some joke during his commentary.
i feel likeā¦ there was some major world event that happened and they told the islandersā¦ or maybe that was big brotherā¦. ugh i cannot remember
This twist is acc so messy because if will takes uma to casa we all know how she feels about kissing in love triangles and shes close to jess and sam so she will definitely snitch if anything happens. So we wont even have to wait untill movie night to see samantha blow up that villa if joey/grace kiss.Ā

Only for him to still be looking for someone else. š„²š„²š„² I legit think if he knew they were that loved outside he would stick & not move on real madness.
Well I wouldnāt want him staying loyal to Mimii for that reasonā¦..and i bet she wouldnāt like that either.
If he did that, people would call him fake. At this point, everything that Ayo does will be viewed negatively.
they ate that one little thing
the bookmarksā¦.
LOVE this for Mimii. Itās just nice to see her being loved by the public.
The views, the bookmarks and the comments below !!!!šš I think this is definitely one of the best kisses on the show !
Sean is there to promote his sweet bussiness i donāt think he cares for any of those girls
Iām I the only one who likes Ronnie?
He's good TV so I like him in that sense, excellent villainry.
What do you like about him? The ugly hair or the oozing sexism and contempt for women?
The funny
I like him being on the show because I loathe him so much
I love Ronnie the Rat after the latest episode. Completely shameless, exactly what we need on Love Island š
No bc Jess and Harriett also like him so youāre not alone
You and half the villa girls
This is funny ššš
Youāre not alone. I donāt hate him.
I think heās funnyā¦heās great TV tbh
I will not be rooting for Joey and Grace if they couple up because it all feels too scripted to me
Everything Joey does feels calculated and scripted to me
Same especially immediately acting like that with Grace
Way too scripted
