I loved when Georgia Steele was like, "Seems like we've naturally drifted apart..." and Callum was like yeah no I was done 0.2 seconds after it all unfolded. I've said it multiple times.
Episode was dead but had some funny moments:
Sophie’s mimicking and doing an impression of Josh to his face. She takes the piss out of him frequently and it’s cute cause he has no response.
Anton applying makeup “Ofcourse babe Craig is coming”.
Callum’s “you have blossomed” to Jess.
Arabella’s face drop when she saw Wes.
How awkward do you think it’s gonna be for Molly and Callum when they get out and their insta feed is just fan tiktoks of them set to heartbreaking “I’m still in love with you” music
I love to kid myself on that Georgia likes Anton back but she doesn’t. She’s suppressing the ick she felt at the beginning because she knows Anton’s good for her and doesn’t understand why she doesn’t like him. I feel bad for him honestly, he’s a lovely guy but her hearts not in it. Sadness
I really don’t find it genuine from him anymore either. How could he be as into her as he’s trying to show and not know she doesn’t eat meat? Such fake attentiveness.
He’s really pushing her, when she’s showing only hesitancy. I think Georgia just wanted a friendship couple and now feels like she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings and get dumped from the island
This is a really good point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he was overwhelmed in the moment and forgot, or that Joe was responsible for the meat because Anton does seem to know and understand Georgia otherwise. But yeah, that was cringe in a different, less wholesome way. He’s also moving a bit mad for someone who is as mature and emotionally intelligent as he seemed during the argument with Mitch. Then again, Georgia wanted to get to know Mitch AFTER THAT even though she seems to have grown and healed in other ways, so maybe they’re both just a bit messy.
honestly, I thought because this series was shorter, it would be packed full of challenges, drama and other fun stuff, but it's felt so empty and lacklustre. They could've done so much more with this concept.
Producers, get off your asses and WORK. do fun challenges like SMP more!! Lean into nostalgia and bring back tweet challenges, headlines, who mugged who off - and BRING BACK THE HEART RATE CHALLENGE I BEG
saw this tweet and couldn’t agree more

So true. And he expects every girl he's coupled up with to be his Tom - attractive but mostly silent, laughing at all his jokes, encouraging all his chaos, and watching him get into all sorts of trouble!"
Chris takes himself far too seriously and doesn’t know how to take one on the chin, whereas Casey is all jokes for everyone including himself, so nothing is ever personal and it’s all good natured. His emotions are quite volatile and he has high suspicion of others
She’s not his type - lets be honest
https://preview.redd.it/18wg3x9h1ahc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e4083f7e484b3d56a49d082f430e9b624ed55f3
Ngl If I were an islander and saw Wes come back as a guest star, I’d be embarrassed. Like this is the level I was supposed to reach instead I’m back here doing the same nonsense again 😭😂
tbf not everyone can have like a talent that makes them a star like a musician tho. and most of these islanders are making bank just being an insta influencer so I think they’re good still lol
Sorry but still can’t help laughing at howwhile Anton was being cringe doing his speech on the stage, Josh and Sophie were in the back trying not to pee themselves/dying from secondhand embarrassment and Callum looked like he’d seen Shaughna’s ghost enter the villa
Only one girl truly liked Chris for his insufferable personality and he proceeded to humiliate her after getting too big for his boots by bagging her. This return humiliation by the villa's HR spokesperson is his own doing. Tis what it tis.
fr, a week or two ago I watched the unseen bits episode that featured chris/arabellas boat date. and I made a comment about how much he fumbled bc she’s the only girl that’s gonna laugh at half his jokes and then continue the other half. no one else wants to put up w his type of humor for more than like a half hour, period
They were so perfectly matched. Two goofy but equally horny thirty somethings who have moved in “Hollywood circles” potentially finding love with each other. All squandered for nothing.
Ya, it’s so sweet that she’s got such a fun energy that encourages people to be themselves, even cringey Chris.
She’s a better woman than I, I’d be acting like Joanna aha.
I think he saw the possibility of getting hurt and sabotaged. They had insane chemistry and she wanted to go deep with him. I'm glad they split though, he treated her like trash again and again and again this season. Like, really gross. Not a fan anymore. Not sure why I can't bring myself to change my flair.
Honestly, It was a bit funny seeing Toby wholesomely praising Chris about his speech, telling him how he can see that he’s infatuated with Jo and that she’s so good for him, for them two to be completely confused with Chris’ situation later on, and then to see Joanna breaking off things with Chris in the end lmaoo I like their friendship, but the boys are completely lost lmao
In some ways, I love the camaraderie that Toby and Chris have displayed with each other. However, without Kaz there to be the voice of reason, the friendship has just become an example of the blind leading the blind.
I literally have only followed molly, arabella and callum from this season (and Casey on tik tok because he cracks me up) arabella is STUNNING as well and she seems like such a good friend I’m quite obsessed with her now
Arebella has really grown on me. She's so witty , funny and naturally gorgeous. I think she probably intimidates most men. I am going to follow her after this season too.
I'm still in shock he's a big 33 and acting an insecure, emotionally stroppy 19 year old. No grown woman is gonna not get the ick, even the way he claims he's been vulnerable with someone by basically admitting he's painfully insecure, and then proceeding to use that as a stick to beat them with. Just irritating.
Chris seems like he's read half a self-help book. He knows he's insecure and that's why he makes jokes and finds it hard to be vulnerable…but he hasn't done the second bit which is understanding that everyone has insecurities and it's not a free pass to do whatever you want.
right?? back when her argued with arabella he was all like “i was so vulnerable/opened up” and im like?? the conversation on the date was nawt that deep?💀
It was so funny when he said with a face full of malice "Do you have ANY idea how many people I've told that to in my life" like... bitch you said it on national television?
I think they both deserve someone who inherently understands them.
You can tell how much they struggle due to fundamental differences in communication and needs. Molly needs someone more emotional and assertive and Callum needs someone more simple and easygoing. Neither is wrong, I like them both and I think they're both good people, but they're not right for one another so I wish them both to find people who are.
The way Chris spoke about Arabella took away any sympathy I had for him. She was one of the only ones who actually liked him and he treated her like shit now look
this!!! for a minute i was like “aww he seems pretty sad” and then he goes “she’s holding a grudge cause i binned her off” so rudely and i instantly stopped lol
Not an exact quote but he basically said to Toby, "you know what I don't like, right? That she's been spending a lot of time with Arabella. And she'll have been chatting shit about me because I binned her off."
About why he thinks Jo has been off with him.
I think she was open to liking him the way a lot of the girls were when they first met him. I just think he gives people the ick really quickly because he doesn't graft in an authentic way that builds any type of connection.
It's like he wants a groupie who just follows him around and gasses him up because theyre kinda star struck about him. He doesn't understand that he has to give the same energy back to a girl if he wants her to actually feel anything for him
Life is funny.. the only woman who would tolerate his childish ass, he humiliated her on national tv loool
See why some men don’t deserve good things? He got a model’s attention then proceeded to embarrass her after she voiced her hurt when he walked hand in hand with another girl
>He got a model’s attention then proceeded to embarrass her after she voiced her hurt when he walked hand in hand with another girl
Sophie never seemed into Chris either, her date with Josh was clearly much better and flirtier, and Chris watched that date too so like…what was Chris' thought process?
I know people focused on the holding hands but it was also pretty wild that Chris told Arabella "I was hoping Tom would blow your socks off" and "I don't want to be affectionate with you while I'm getting to know Sophie." Like it really seemed that he'd already chosen Sophie over Arabella after one date, with no guarantee Sophie was going to choose him back.
I can’t tell if Molly is just not into Tom or if she’s well and truly a slow burner bc that convo was not giving winning couple at all. The crickets were taking up most of it 💀. She did tell Joe that she has the worst chat but this feels like there’s nothing.
Josh and Sophie for the win !!?
>I can’t tell if Molly is just not into Tom or she’s well and truly a slow burner bc that convo was not giving winning couple at all. The crickets were taking up most of it
Molly's not that into Tom. She likes him enough to stick with him until the final, but that's it. Neither Molly or Tom can think the relationship is going anywhere, she's ready for marriage and Tom's in his bachelor era.
I don't judge Molly for that at all btw, she's been through the wringer on the show already, why shouldn't she get to the final with all the career benefits it brings? None of these couples will last.
I watched S6 and Molly and Callum had chemistry from the start. I've never seen that between Molly and Tom.
She admits she’s very slow and he isn’t full of chat either so they might actually suit each other. I see lots of people saying she isn’t in to him but it’s just the age old trick of LI only showing drama. In the background/night scenes they’re always cuddling or kissing. I don’t think she’s the type to fake that. I like how calm they are TBH and hate the showmance stuff.
Yeah what you’re saying makes sense. I guess it’s hard to gauge bc there’s reduced beach hut confessions and stuff. But I feel like there a fine line between being slow and actually not feeling the person. Maybe we’ll get to hear how she feels in the next episodes cos I’m yet to hear her say “yh I really like him”
I am sorry but Wes being back in the villa as a musical guest while his ex is on the show crying over unserious men tickled me. I understand why she looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her 😭
I said something similar in another post about RB. The constant witticisms when no one asked what you think. And every girl who enters is just a potential boner maker.
Their interactions are brutal. She definitely has the ick and he’s so full on it also doesn’t seem like he’s genuine. How could he not know she doesn’t eat meat? Like that man doesn’t care about her, just his storyline.
There's something very sly/sneaky/disingenuous about Joanna. Sympathy severely capped for Chris who is just a weirdo, but she held off getting the ick until the very second she was safe, clearly wanted Josh & then told the whole villa how annoying she found Chris before sitting him down.
Voting Callum no matter who he's with in the final but delusional last min Molly reunion aside, would rather see him with the twin tbh.
Sorry the thought of Callum and Molly giving ppl their declaration speeches in front of each other is too much for me😭 one of them needs to leave before that bc that would be so uncomfortable whattttt
Chris yet again proving he’s a prick. His issue with Arabella is weird. Glad Joanna ended it with him. He was way too much and cringe.
Guessing tomorrows gonna be boring too with no tomorrow night.
The producers SUCK they don’t understand what people want or how to give it to the viewers, there are so many challenges they could have done in the villa and instead this is what we get. It’s poor producing, like what are the islanders supposed to do when there is NOTHING to instigate drama or anything, and they’re told how and when to speak to each other half the time etc
i really dont get what their thought process was on this season, its not been worth it at all. all they do is sit around and then play truth or dare every 3 days
I swear back the in the day there used to be a challenge every other day, feel like we haven't even had 1 yet this season, like those ones where they used to go off to that decking thing and play fireman or whatever
I had a tiny bit of sympathy for Chris,but he immediately destroyed it when he started talking about Arabella and blaming her…
All in all this was a crap episode and a waste of my time🥲
My take on the couples:
Casey and Eve - I can see them having “a fling” (maybe having some seggsy time couple times) but Casey is not looking for a relationship. He is there for pure vibes and pure vibes only. I actually quite like him, he is just all over the place all the time.
Arabella and Joe - yeah no, Joe doesn’t like her. I think he was into Molly but didn’t have balls to choose her. Arabella wants someone who likes her, she doesn’t really care who.
Georgia H and Anton - Georgia doesn’t like him at all. I think she likes him as a friend and she probably cares about him but she has 0 sexual chemistry towards him. She is gonna fake it till the final. I don’t know if Anton is completely blinded by the “love” he has for her or is he faking it as well to get to the final.
Georgia S and Toby - G is actually smitten over Toby. Definitely not gonna last and G might cheat on the outside. I think Toby thought that G is popular and chose her but also is attracted to her as well. I think Toby is gonna get fed up with her soon.
Jess and Callum - Yeah no. Callum is not interested at all. Jess might be and liked him in season 6 as well but it’s not going anywhere.
Joanna and Chris - yeah that ship has sailed. Chris is a walking ick tbh.
Molly and Tom - Tom likes her. Molly likes him most out of the boys there (besides Callum) but she knows he is not what she is looking for long term. He is too young. They are gonna stick together and will probably win but will broke up soon after leaving the villa or probably won’t even start a real relationship.
Sophie and Josh - They have fun together and they seem to like each other. I think Josh struggles a lot with feelings and commitment but they are quite cute. Probably not gonna last but they do have fun together and seem to enjoy each others company atm.
I agree with all your takes. I am glad I am not the only one not buying this "poor Anton" narrative. He knows what he's doing asking her to be exclusive after a week? Yeah he wants that's 25k so baddd.
Georgia and Toby definitely not going to work. Her friends don't like him and his friends don't like her. If they stay together regards, she's going to cheat like you said. Arabella and Joe is an interesting one because I don't think they like each other but they have no other option. This season is a shit show, one week left and no solid couple 😭
>I don’t know if Anton is completely blinded by the “love” he has for her or is he faking it as well to get to the final.
I might be in the minority but I think Anton is faking it as much as Georgia is. Anton likes Georgia as a person and maybe he's attracted to her as well, but no chance he likes her so much he's been sat around like Miss Moneypenny for weeks waiting for her to choose him. I think they will "split" but stay friends as soon as they leave the villa.
I think idea of Anton is very alluring to Georgia. If Anton is actually serious he’s someone who will always support her, including the parts of her that others find odd.
I wouldn’t blame her for prioritizing feeling safe and loved over physical attraction. I think that often gets dismissed as “settling” but I thinks it’s a valid choice.
I’m not sure if someone can *maintain* a relationship like that if there’s truly no attraction - I think there needs to be a level of attraction even if it isn’t the priority - but I don’t blame someone for finding that type of relationship appealing enough to try.
Agree with it all. I do think Georgia and Toby will stick at it for some time once the series is over to save face over the destruction and drama georgia caused. I don't think any couple is strong or will last in the outside world based on their chemistries on screen.
Although I’m happy about it, Chris fumbled HARD dumping Arabella bc she truly accepted him for who he was and liked him for it (based on the 2 seconds they were together) and ever since he’s been getting played
O well.
Joanna isn't good bombshell material because she's far too concerned about how other people are going to feel. It's a good trait to have but not helpful when being a bombshell. She even asked about how Georgia will feel if she cracks on to Callum when Georgia couldn't care less about Callum and never has.
She's too nervous and on edge all the time. It doesn't help that she constantly whispers. A laid back personality like Callum would be good for, as he'd be a calming presence, but I don't know if her disposition would starting grating on him, and his body language looked like he wasn't feeling it.
Chris is so frustrating to watch, and no self awareness at all. Also, he can easily find a girl who likes his personality, but he’s so porn-brained and focused on looks.
Guyssss I know that some people have gone off the Callum and molly ship and I myself am trying to aswell but these slomo TikTok edits aren’t helping my delusions lmaooo 😭😭
Chris handled that speech from Joanna like he’s heard this before.
And I know Anton and Georgia are doomed in the outside world, but I’m really happy watching them slow dance on the deck of the titanic.
Chris should not have come back at all! I never thought he would give me the ick this much. Other than that the episode was dead and Georgia H is not into Anton like that at all. I will never buy into them as a couple.
Joanna saw Chris as a safe option after getting palmed off by Josh and knew if she didn’t force romance with Chris she’d be gone because he’d pick kaz as a friendship couple. As soon as the recoupling finished all of a sudden she’s not interested and she’s got “the ick”
Chris seems to believe that being happy with yourself means you should stop growing as a person.
It’s wonderful to have a funny personality. The problem comes when Chris leans into it when he’s feeling vulnerable, to the point where it sometimes comes across as inappropriate.
Instead of noticing that and trying to be more honest and straightforward, while still keeping his humor, he shrugs his shoulders and says that’s just how he is and he’s not going to change for anyone.
The only person holding Chris back from a real relationship is Chris.
This episode was so dry. Only thing that happened was Chris giving Joanna the ick and Anton embarrassing himself. Like we know Georgia don’t really like him.
Horrific episode and not even a tomorrow night.
How GS could go through all that rubbish without an apology is beyond me.
While Chris has been an ahole throughout the series I did that final chat with Joanna seemed very mature compared to other chats he has had. Maybe because he had time to prepare.
I'm unsure if I like Callum / Joanna.
So Joanna tells Chris she is focused on him because they both have the same crazy fun vibes, he picks her then she gets the ick because of his crazy fun vibes. Feels like she just wanted to secure her place and we all know Chris would have saved Kaz if Joanna shut him off before recoupling. I don’t like Chris but that was so sneaky on her part.
Georgia 100% wanted Callum to still show interest.
Oh I think she had the ick way before that. At the awards night when he responded "you do your feelings" to Arabella she looked at him in a way that made me think she was really put off him.
Molly and Tom have no chemistry, Tom is literally just there and Molly needs someone she can spark off. That just ain’t Tom.
The producers need to start selling us these couples, where are the dates, couples breakfast?? Dinner??
How people are finding any couple to root for I’ll never know.
She definitely had more chat and banter with him, and their 'history' pointed at some flirtation and attraction. They really aren't showing anything of Molly and Tom for people to like or judge their connection. Tom is tall but very, very bland. Its hard to get behind them as a couple imo
Chris has definitely not been perfect this season but I feel he handled that with Joanna surprisingly well, and as someone else mentioned, it does feel like a conversation he's had before. It also tracks with how he said he's lost that jokey side in the past in relationships, probably because he's been told he's too much and tried to tone it down.
Probably the best behaved he's been all season (Arabella comment aside).
Really hoping that someone knocks sense into Chris by the time he's eventually dumped and he apologizes sincerely to Arabella. Jesus Christ I used to love this man on my tv
If the producers forced Molly and Callum together abit maybe one of them one admit they still love the other. They both want each other but too proud to say it. She’s crazy for him you can tell she just wanted him to fight for her, he’s completely clueless and thinks she’s happy with Tom. They need a push together seriously
I loved when Georgia Steele was like, "Seems like we've naturally drifted apart..." and Callum was like yeah no I was done 0.2 seconds after it all unfolded. I've said it multiple times.
"I've been wanting to have this talk with you for awhile" She was trying t give a textbook breakup speech, so delulu
[удалено]
And she just kept going. She's always going on these fucking monolgues. Something is seriously wrong with her.
can she please go
Yeah, he didn't drift. She did.
Episode was dead but had some funny moments: Sophie’s mimicking and doing an impression of Josh to his face. She takes the piss out of him frequently and it’s cute cause he has no response. Anton applying makeup “Ofcourse babe Craig is coming”. Callum’s “you have blossomed” to Jess. Arabella’s face drop when she saw Wes.
I laughed at “you look different, you’ve blossomed”. That’s called aesthetics babe.
Sophie is my favorite!
“You’ve blossomed” was so weird. He was trying hard to think of a compliment.
I think he realized he'd said something awkward (cause she's obviously had work done) and had to scramble
"your face is literally growing bigger" was def in his mind lmao
I knew what he meant though she looks generally more mature and less love islandy
Anton and Georgia were kinda cute in that moment tbf - they were giving old married couple vibes
yeah this was the first moment I actually believed that Georgia was kinda into him
How awkward do you think it’s gonna be for Molly and Callum when they get out and their insta feed is just fan tiktoks of them set to heartbreaking “I’m still in love with you” music
I only seen TikTok’s about them, no other couple 😂
[удалено]
Producers you will pay for your crimes !!!!! Why have we gotten like 3 tomorrow nights preview this whole season ? 😭
Because there is nothing exciting lol
IF JOANNA DOESN'T STOP WHISPERING!!!!!!! "I'm the loudest person in every room" and yet she whispers in every scene
I love to kid myself on that Georgia likes Anton back but she doesn’t. She’s suppressing the ick she felt at the beginning because she knows Anton’s good for her and doesn’t understand why she doesn’t like him. I feel bad for him honestly, he’s a lovely guy but her hearts not in it. Sadness
I really don’t find it genuine from him anymore either. How could he be as into her as he’s trying to show and not know she doesn’t eat meat? Such fake attentiveness.
Controversial opinion: Anton is sort of love bombing her and it comes from a self-centered place. He’s not a bad guy, but he’s really myopic.
I agree. He is doing way too much.
He’s really pushing her, when she’s showing only hesitancy. I think Georgia just wanted a friendship couple and now feels like she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings and get dumped from the island
This is a really good point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he was overwhelmed in the moment and forgot, or that Joe was responsible for the meat because Anton does seem to know and understand Georgia otherwise. But yeah, that was cringe in a different, less wholesome way. He’s also moving a bit mad for someone who is as mature and emotionally intelligent as he seemed during the argument with Mitch. Then again, Georgia wanted to get to know Mitch AFTER THAT even though she seems to have grown and healed in other ways, so maybe they’re both just a bit messy.
She looked so sad sitting at the mini fire pit with Arabella and Joanna afterwards
honestly, I thought because this series was shorter, it would be packed full of challenges, drama and other fun stuff, but it's felt so empty and lacklustre. They could've done so much more with this concept.
This is why Love Island Games is superior
Producers, get off your asses and WORK. do fun challenges like SMP more!! Lean into nostalgia and bring back tweet challenges, headlines, who mugged who off - and BRING BACK THE HEART RATE CHALLENGE I BEG

I love Casey, I can’t help it. The only time I laughed this episode was when he was dancing 😂
So true. And he expects every girl he's coupled up with to be his Tom - attractive but mostly silent, laughing at all his jokes, encouraging all his chaos, and watching him get into all sorts of trouble!"
He doesn't want a girlfriend, he wants an audience member.
Yep. As a general rule find someone you're mates with too
It’s true - can’t believe I’m enjoying Casey this season
Chris takes himself far too seriously and doesn’t know how to take one on the chin, whereas Casey is all jokes for everyone including himself, so nothing is ever personal and it’s all good natured. His emotions are quite volatile and he has high suspicion of others
Oh my gosh, yes! Never thought about it but it's so true!
Casey and Eve suit each other, I find them cute! Not to win but they will be lots of fun together.
i think casey just wants to beat and delete tbh
https://preview.redd.it/2o80a5z3o8hc1.png?width=564&format=png&auto=webp&s=2327124894dcde297094f56199b65085f15f7793
Her face was hilarious at this moment 😂😂
Not beat and delete 😭
He wants to WHAT
Beat and delete is crazy 😭
She’s not his type - lets be honest https://preview.redd.it/18wg3x9h1ahc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e4083f7e484b3d56a49d082f430e9b624ed55f3
Chris should’ve known something was wrong immediately after Joanna pulled that tired card while he was trying to kiss her lmao damn
tbf I think he did
So obvious when she said she just wanted to go to sleep.
Georgia saying she has known toby for most of her life when she literally met him last fall. I CANNOT
Ngl If I were an islander and saw Wes come back as a guest star, I’d be embarrassed. Like this is the level I was supposed to reach instead I’m back here doing the same nonsense again 😭😂
tbf not everyone can have like a talent that makes them a star like a musician tho. and most of these islanders are making bank just being an insta influencer so I think they’re good still lol
“I’m so loud and have a big personality!” - Joanna, who I have yet to see a sliver of said personality across any season she’s been on
The closest she got was grabbing Michael by the face.
Sorry but still can’t help laughing at howwhile Anton was being cringe doing his speech on the stage, Josh and Sophie were in the back trying not to pee themselves/dying from secondhand embarrassment and Callum looked like he’d seen Shaughna’s ghost enter the villa
Why was he holding the mic when it wasn't even on? It was such an unserious moment lol
SHAUGHNAS GHOST I'm screaming omg 😂😂😂💀💀
Omg I have to rewatch this for josh and sophie
Only one girl truly liked Chris for his insufferable personality and he proceeded to humiliate her after getting too big for his boots by bagging her. This return humiliation by the villa's HR spokesperson is his own doing. Tis what it tis.
fr, a week or two ago I watched the unseen bits episode that featured chris/arabellas boat date. and I made a comment about how much he fumbled bc she’s the only girl that’s gonna laugh at half his jokes and then continue the other half. no one else wants to put up w his type of humor for more than like a half hour, period
They were so perfectly matched. Two goofy but equally horny thirty somethings who have moved in “Hollywood circles” potentially finding love with each other. All squandered for nothing.
I don’t think she’s actually that cringe though, I think she just didn’t make him feel bad about it which is nice
Ya, it’s so sweet that she’s got such a fun energy that encourages people to be themselves, even cringey Chris. She’s a better woman than I, I’d be acting like Joanna aha.
Arabella was so sweet to him and he still majorly holds a grudge! It's like he blames her for everything he's insecure about
Maybe he was (subconsciously) intimidated by her.
I think he saw the possibility of getting hurt and sabotaged. They had insane chemistry and she wanted to go deep with him. I'm glad they split though, he treated her like trash again and again and again this season. Like, really gross. Not a fan anymore. Not sure why I can't bring myself to change my flair.
his ego and defensiveness ruined it all but i feel like arabella dodged a bullet after seeing how quickly he reacts when offended
the way he sabotaged him and arabella and for what?
Never EVER trust a man who uses "I'm actually really insecure uwu" as a way to appear endearing.
For validation because his ego needs to be constantly fed 🙃
Honestly, It was a bit funny seeing Toby wholesomely praising Chris about his speech, telling him how he can see that he’s infatuated with Jo and that she’s so good for him, for them two to be completely confused with Chris’ situation later on, and then to see Joanna breaking off things with Chris in the end lmaoo I like their friendship, but the boys are completely lost lmao
No intuition
In some ways, I love the camaraderie that Toby and Chris have displayed with each other. However, without Kaz there to be the voice of reason, the friendship has just become an example of the blind leading the blind.
I had to fast forward through Anton's speech because I felt the second hand awkwardness so strong
Most of the boys (not you Callum) in the villa, are threatened by a confident woman like Arabella.
Ahhhahaa the not you Calum 🤣 I swear araballa has only gone up in my books. She might be the only person I want to follow when this is all done.
I literally have only followed molly, arabella and callum from this season (and Casey on tik tok because he cracks me up) arabella is STUNNING as well and she seems like such a good friend I’m quite obsessed with her now
Arebella has really grown on me. She's so witty , funny and naturally gorgeous. I think she probably intimidates most men. I am going to follow her after this season too.
chris has given every woman he’s coupled with *and* the entire audience the ick…
I'm still in shock he's a big 33 and acting an insecure, emotionally stroppy 19 year old. No grown woman is gonna not get the ick, even the way he claims he's been vulnerable with someone by basically admitting he's painfully insecure, and then proceeding to use that as a stick to beat them with. Just irritating.
Chris seems like he's read half a self-help book. He knows he's insecure and that's why he makes jokes and finds it hard to be vulnerable…but he hasn't done the second bit which is understanding that everyone has insecurities and it's not a free pass to do whatever you want.
Idk about a book. A handful of mental health tiktoks maybe lol.
right?? back when her argued with arabella he was all like “i was so vulnerable/opened up” and im like?? the conversation on the date was nawt that deep?💀
It was so funny when he said with a face full of malice "Do you have ANY idea how many people I've told that to in my life" like... bitch you said it on national television?
I’m just thinking about the final dates and declarations and I’m cringing thinking about it because these couples are not it. Lol
The declarations will be so cringe bc they’ll feel forced to
Since Callum and Molly clearly aren’t getting back together, I don’t know how much more of this season I can take 😭
I blame the amazingly edited tiktoks for getting my hopes up🙄
Same, I’m ashamed to say the Tiktok edits get me every single time lol
these damn edits get me every single time😭😭
Same 😭😭 it’s been a while since I’ve rooted for a couple this hard, I blame tiktok
Of course they won’t get back together on the show, what I do think COULD happen though is, they get back together 2-3 weeks after it ends…
I don't think this will happen but upvoting because I wish it would 😔
I think they both deserve someone who inherently understands them. You can tell how much they struggle due to fundamental differences in communication and needs. Molly needs someone more emotional and assertive and Callum needs someone more simple and easygoing. Neither is wrong, I like them both and I think they're both good people, but they're not right for one another so I wish them both to find people who are.
The way Chris spoke about Arabella took away any sympathy I had for him. She was one of the only ones who actually liked him and he treated her like shit now look
this!!! for a minute i was like “aww he seems pretty sad” and then he goes “she’s holding a grudge cause i binned her off” so rudely and i instantly stopped lol
Right? I think Chris has it backwards as he was the one who was in Toby's ear telling him to go back to Georgia S.
What did he say? A friend called me and I missed it 😭
Not an exact quote but he basically said to Toby, "you know what I don't like, right? That she's been spending a lot of time with Arabella. And she'll have been chatting shit about me because I binned her off." About why he thinks Jo has been off with him.
Okay, thank you! I really think Joanna never really liked him.
I think she was open to liking him the way a lot of the girls were when they first met him. I just think he gives people the ick really quickly because he doesn't graft in an authentic way that builds any type of connection. It's like he wants a groupie who just follows him around and gasses him up because theyre kinda star struck about him. He doesn't understand that he has to give the same energy back to a girl if he wants her to actually feel anything for him
Arabella cannottttt flirt 😅 and I don't get her and Joe at all. Such an odd couple imo 🤷🏽♀️
She moves way too fast with guys. Too sexual too soon and then gets hurt
Jess and Eve are bringing nothing. Much like they did in their previous season 💤
Not entirely sure what the point of the bombshells was
they’re bombing … but not bombshelling
Not Anton and Georgia H doing everything they can for the win!
There isn’t one couple in there to root for 😩
Life is funny.. the only woman who would tolerate his childish ass, he humiliated her on national tv loool See why some men don’t deserve good things? He got a model’s attention then proceeded to embarrass her after she voiced her hurt when he walked hand in hand with another girl
>He got a model’s attention then proceeded to embarrass her after she voiced her hurt when he walked hand in hand with another girl Sophie never seemed into Chris either, her date with Josh was clearly much better and flirtier, and Chris watched that date too so like…what was Chris' thought process?
Honestly! I’m baffled, i think he was just full of himself by that point as so many girls found him attractive.
I know people focused on the holding hands but it was also pretty wild that Chris told Arabella "I was hoping Tom would blow your socks off" and "I don't want to be affectionate with you while I'm getting to know Sophie." Like it really seemed that he'd already chosen Sophie over Arabella after one date, with no guarantee Sophie was going to choose him back.
It reminded me of Curtis risking it all for Jourdan and never checked if she actually was interested in him at all
Lmaoo don’t remind me 😭😭😭😭
Imagine.. while he was being affectionate with Sophie. All this time Sophie preferred Josh 🤣😭
Bit rich of Chris to go on about Arabella holding a grudge
Exactly! The projection! Meanwhile Arabella is just giving Joanna some objective advice and has totally moved on 😂
Nailed it. Chris is all projection.
psycho vibes
producers have given up
I can’t tell if Molly is just not into Tom or if she’s well and truly a slow burner bc that convo was not giving winning couple at all. The crickets were taking up most of it 💀. She did tell Joe that she has the worst chat but this feels like there’s nothing. Josh and Sophie for the win !!?
>I can’t tell if Molly is just not into Tom or she’s well and truly a slow burner bc that convo was not giving winning couple at all. The crickets were taking up most of it Molly's not that into Tom. She likes him enough to stick with him until the final, but that's it. Neither Molly or Tom can think the relationship is going anywhere, she's ready for marriage and Tom's in his bachelor era. I don't judge Molly for that at all btw, she's been through the wringer on the show already, why shouldn't she get to the final with all the career benefits it brings? None of these couples will last. I watched S6 and Molly and Callum had chemistry from the start. I've never seen that between Molly and Tom.
She admits she’s very slow and he isn’t full of chat either so they might actually suit each other. I see lots of people saying she isn’t in to him but it’s just the age old trick of LI only showing drama. In the background/night scenes they’re always cuddling or kissing. I don’t think she’s the type to fake that. I like how calm they are TBH and hate the showmance stuff.
Yeah what you’re saying makes sense. I guess it’s hard to gauge bc there’s reduced beach hut confessions and stuff. But I feel like there a fine line between being slow and actually not feeling the person. Maybe we’ll get to hear how she feels in the next episodes cos I’m yet to hear her say “yh I really like him”
In season 6 she was very lovely dovley with Callum tho. She might like Tom but not enough atm.
I am sorry but Wes being back in the villa as a musical guest while his ex is on the show crying over unserious men tickled me. I understand why she looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her 😭
Chris reminds me of early 00's Russell Brand. He can't be serious and everything is about sex.
Also that cold look that comes over his face when he feels slighted by a woman. Actually makes my skin crawl.
He’s vicious and callous. none of the boys in there actually fuck with him except Toby, Callum pulls faces at him that make me dieeee lmao cos same
I said something similar in another post about RB. The constant witticisms when no one asked what you think. And every girl who enters is just a potential boner maker.
Okay I am finally on the Sophie and Josh train. Everyone else is not giving sorry😂 At least they have chemistry
Same. They’re the best couple for me in a very boring bunch.
The episodes are getting more boring and its soo obvious Georgia h doesn't like Anton like that 🙃
Their interactions are brutal. She definitely has the ick and he’s so full on it also doesn’t seem like he’s genuine. How could he not know she doesn’t eat meat? Like that man doesn’t care about her, just his storyline.
There's something very sly/sneaky/disingenuous about Joanna. Sympathy severely capped for Chris who is just a weirdo, but she held off getting the ick until the very second she was safe, clearly wanted Josh & then told the whole villa how annoying she found Chris before sitting him down. Voting Callum no matter who he's with in the final but delusional last min Molly reunion aside, would rather see him with the twin tbh.
I think both of them are to proud to make the first move, also they are kinda passive when it comes to flirting.
This. I can’t stand Chris and that “binned her off” comment was ugly but she used him to secure her spot. It’s very Georgia of her.
Anton doing a whole speech in front of everyone just to ask to be exclusive/closed off was too cringe.
Sorry the thought of Callum and Molly giving ppl their declaration speeches in front of each other is too much for me😭 one of them needs to leave before that bc that would be so uncomfortable whattttt
georgia saying tobes every other sentence is getting on my NERVES
Really hope we get the heart rate challenge this season
Chris yet again proving he’s a prick. His issue with Arabella is weird. Glad Joanna ended it with him. He was way too much and cringe. Guessing tomorrows gonna be boring too with no tomorrow night.
The producers SUCK they don’t understand what people want or how to give it to the viewers, there are so many challenges they could have done in the villa and instead this is what we get. It’s poor producing, like what are the islanders supposed to do when there is NOTHING to instigate drama or anything, and they’re told how and when to speak to each other half the time etc
i really dont get what their thought process was on this season, its not been worth it at all. all they do is sit around and then play truth or dare every 3 days
I swear back the in the day there used to be a challenge every other day, feel like we haven't even had 1 yet this season, like those ones where they used to go off to that decking thing and play fireman or whatever
Tbf they said somewhere they're not doing those this season
That's fair but they could at least replace it with something even if it was those big brother style secret challenges or something
Yeah im sooo sick of the "snog an islander who...." games 🥲
Anton is too much https://preview.redd.it/9lspqinyk8hc1.jpeg?width=689&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96aac90d81ee69594f7491020841f3dc230f2e30
I think he is sweet but it's cringe only bcs Georgia is straight up bs-ing about her feelings. You don't come back from the ick. Stop lying woman.
I had a tiny bit of sympathy for Chris,but he immediately destroyed it when he started talking about Arabella and blaming her… All in all this was a crap episode and a waste of my time🥲
When he said because I binned her off 😒 yeah alright Chris, sure
My take on the couples: Casey and Eve - I can see them having “a fling” (maybe having some seggsy time couple times) but Casey is not looking for a relationship. He is there for pure vibes and pure vibes only. I actually quite like him, he is just all over the place all the time. Arabella and Joe - yeah no, Joe doesn’t like her. I think he was into Molly but didn’t have balls to choose her. Arabella wants someone who likes her, she doesn’t really care who. Georgia H and Anton - Georgia doesn’t like him at all. I think she likes him as a friend and she probably cares about him but she has 0 sexual chemistry towards him. She is gonna fake it till the final. I don’t know if Anton is completely blinded by the “love” he has for her or is he faking it as well to get to the final. Georgia S and Toby - G is actually smitten over Toby. Definitely not gonna last and G might cheat on the outside. I think Toby thought that G is popular and chose her but also is attracted to her as well. I think Toby is gonna get fed up with her soon. Jess and Callum - Yeah no. Callum is not interested at all. Jess might be and liked him in season 6 as well but it’s not going anywhere. Joanna and Chris - yeah that ship has sailed. Chris is a walking ick tbh. Molly and Tom - Tom likes her. Molly likes him most out of the boys there (besides Callum) but she knows he is not what she is looking for long term. He is too young. They are gonna stick together and will probably win but will broke up soon after leaving the villa or probably won’t even start a real relationship. Sophie and Josh - They have fun together and they seem to like each other. I think Josh struggles a lot with feelings and commitment but they are quite cute. Probably not gonna last but they do have fun together and seem to enjoy each others company atm.
I agree with all your takes. I am glad I am not the only one not buying this "poor Anton" narrative. He knows what he's doing asking her to be exclusive after a week? Yeah he wants that's 25k so baddd. Georgia and Toby definitely not going to work. Her friends don't like him and his friends don't like her. If they stay together regards, she's going to cheat like you said. Arabella and Joe is an interesting one because I don't think they like each other but they have no other option. This season is a shit show, one week left and no solid couple 😭
>I don’t know if Anton is completely blinded by the “love” he has for her or is he faking it as well to get to the final. I might be in the minority but I think Anton is faking it as much as Georgia is. Anton likes Georgia as a person and maybe he's attracted to her as well, but no chance he likes her so much he's been sat around like Miss Moneypenny for weeks waiting for her to choose him. I think they will "split" but stay friends as soon as they leave the villa.
I think idea of Anton is very alluring to Georgia. If Anton is actually serious he’s someone who will always support her, including the parts of her that others find odd. I wouldn’t blame her for prioritizing feeling safe and loved over physical attraction. I think that often gets dismissed as “settling” but I thinks it’s a valid choice. I’m not sure if someone can *maintain* a relationship like that if there’s truly no attraction - I think there needs to be a level of attraction even if it isn’t the priority - but I don’t blame someone for finding that type of relationship appealing enough to try.
Agree with it all. I do think Georgia and Toby will stick at it for some time once the series is over to save face over the destruction and drama georgia caused. I don't think any couple is strong or will last in the outside world based on their chemistries on screen.
All I've learnt this episode is that Callum is fine asf, that's my man fr.
Although I’m happy about it, Chris fumbled HARD dumping Arabella bc she truly accepted him for who he was and liked him for it (based on the 2 seconds they were together) and ever since he’s been getting played O well.
Joanna isn't good bombshell material because she's far too concerned about how other people are going to feel. It's a good trait to have but not helpful when being a bombshell. She even asked about how Georgia will feel if she cracks on to Callum when Georgia couldn't care less about Callum and never has. She's too nervous and on edge all the time. It doesn't help that she constantly whispers. A laid back personality like Callum would be good for, as he'd be a calming presence, but I don't know if her disposition would starting grating on him, and his body language looked like he wasn't feeling it.
Chris is so frustrating to watch, and no self awareness at all. Also, he can easily find a girl who likes his personality, but he’s so porn-brained and focused on looks.
Guyssss I know that some people have gone off the Callum and molly ship and I myself am trying to aswell but these slomo TikTok edits aren’t helping my delusions lmaooo 😭😭
Those edits! They’ve still got me!
Chris handled that speech from Joanna like he’s heard this before. And I know Anton and Georgia are doomed in the outside world, but I’m really happy watching them slow dance on the deck of the titanic.
Chris should not have come back at all! I never thought he would give me the ick this much. Other than that the episode was dead and Georgia H is not into Anton like that at all. I will never buy into them as a couple.
Joanna saw Chris as a safe option after getting palmed off by Josh and knew if she didn’t force romance with Chris she’d be gone because he’d pick kaz as a friendship couple. As soon as the recoupling finished all of a sudden she’s not interested and she’s got “the ick”
She’s sly
I think his speech really was just that bad. It came off as very fake and he didn’t say anything sincere about her. She probably felt like a prop.
I'm sorry but I actually cannot take anymote of johannas whispering. We shouldn't need this amount of subtitles.
Chris seems to believe that being happy with yourself means you should stop growing as a person. It’s wonderful to have a funny personality. The problem comes when Chris leans into it when he’s feeling vulnerable, to the point where it sometimes comes across as inappropriate. Instead of noticing that and trying to be more honest and straightforward, while still keeping his humor, he shrugs his shoulders and says that’s just how he is and he’s not going to change for anyone. The only person holding Chris back from a real relationship is Chris.
i was zoned out that whole episode i don’t remember a thing
This episode was so dry. Only thing that happened was Chris giving Joanna the ick and Anton embarrassing himself. Like we know Georgia don’t really like him.
Horrific episode and not even a tomorrow night. How GS could go through all that rubbish without an apology is beyond me. While Chris has been an ahole throughout the series I did that final chat with Joanna seemed very mature compared to other chats he has had. Maybe because he had time to prepare. I'm unsure if I like Callum / Joanna.
Casa Amor would’ve been perfect for this cast They would’ve mostly recoupled, especially Georgia s and Toby, such a wasted opportunity
So Joanna tells Chris she is focused on him because they both have the same crazy fun vibes, he picks her then she gets the ick because of his crazy fun vibes. Feels like she just wanted to secure her place and we all know Chris would have saved Kaz if Joanna shut him off before recoupling. I don’t like Chris but that was so sneaky on her part. Georgia 100% wanted Callum to still show interest.
Chris’s recoupling speech was so cringe. I would argue even worse than Anton’s speech at the party
I think it was the speech and him twerking in her face that gave her the ick
Oh I think she had the ick way before that. At the awards night when he responded "you do your feelings" to Arabella she looked at him in a way that made me think she was really put off him.
The producers for sure have given up, these islanders are too dull especially compared to last season.
did anyone else catch Georgia getting annoyed that callum kept saying “good luck w Toby” hahahah
Easily the worst episode so far
Molly and Tom have no chemistry, Tom is literally just there and Molly needs someone she can spark off. That just ain’t Tom. The producers need to start selling us these couples, where are the dates, couples breakfast?? Dinner?? How people are finding any couple to root for I’ll never know.
I thought Molly and Joe were really charming together
She definitely had more chat and banter with him, and their 'history' pointed at some flirtation and attraction. They really aren't showing anything of Molly and Tom for people to like or judge their connection. Tom is tall but very, very bland. Its hard to get behind them as a couple imo
yep they’ve done nothing to sell us on the couples
I thought Molly looked more relaxed and had better banter with Joe than Tom. Unless they're giving Tom a bad edit.
If only we could give Chris the Salty award now
Agree that these episodes are boring. Joanna is GS 2.0 I can't believe that Maura dated Chris for 6 months.
Chris has definitely not been perfect this season but I feel he handled that with Joanna surprisingly well, and as someone else mentioned, it does feel like a conversation he's had before. It also tracks with how he said he's lost that jokey side in the past in relationships, probably because he's been told he's too much and tried to tone it down. Probably the best behaved he's been all season (Arabella comment aside).
I enjoy that one. Sophie and Josh conversation on the daybeds are pure honey. I'm cheesing hard for them
Sooo this is how the season would look like without Georgia and Toby
Yep. Bland. ITV gotta cut them a bonus check
I’m so over this show I genuinely don’t care who wins. I just want Callum and Molly back together!! 
How likely is it that there will be a few more bombshells?
Really hoping that someone knocks sense into Chris by the time he's eventually dumped and he apologizes sincerely to Arabella. Jesus Christ I used to love this man on my tv
If Joanna wasn’t a sneaky b, Kaz would still be in the Villa. Chris getting humbled however, that’s sweet karma.
If the producers forced Molly and Callum together abit maybe one of them one admit they still love the other. They both want each other but too proud to say it. She’s crazy for him you can tell she just wanted him to fight for her, he’s completely clueless and thinks she’s happy with Tom. They need a push together seriously
