Curtis is a manipulative psychopath who masks his behaviour behind fake smiles and a bubbly personality.

He’s been playing a game from the start and is the most toxic in the whole house. Anna included.
I dunno if id go that far, but he definitely played the game with Amy.

Got muh suspicions about Anton as well, but Curtis is 100% gay.
I haven't thought about Anton but he could be but Curtis definitely is

I originally fell for Curtis' nice guy front had I been in there he is the one I'd have picked but now his true colours are showing, several people on here noticed it way before me that he came across as playing a game. He used to annoy me when he was with Amy offering his smug advice. Now he comes across as sickly and slimy like he thinks the sun shines out his arse. Urgh. If I was choosing now it would definitely be Tommy. Unless it just hasn't shown it but its come across as mostly him asking Molly stuff has she asked him anything about his boxing etc?

I haven't really paid attention to any of this episode. Wonder what Anna would have done if she and Jordan were still there? Refused to go?

I hated just about everything about Anna but she had Curtis down to a tee when she called him a narcissist. He's a twat.

Ok out of interest why do a couple of you think Anton is gay? He does seem very sweet he came across as awful at the beginning but he's actually quite sweet I don't think he and Belle really go through they come across as a bit tick box

Tommy and Curtis watching some of the footage of them around the time of the Amy stuff, you would have said they were the couple

I’m excluding Anna when I say that.

The women have collected been referred to as bitches, cnuts, hyenas and more for expressing themselves when reacting to the behaviour of the men throughout this entire thread. It’s shocking when you reread the comments tbh.
If the blokes all circled round one of the girls and screamed at her how much of a bitch she was the police would've been called.

To balance out my comments on Anna:
  • Curtis is fake and probably a narcissist (not the only one)
  • Jordan is gross, immature & arrogant
  • Tom was a twat, very calculated
  • Michael was an arrogant liar
  • Maura is funny
  • Amber handled the michael situation really well and is mature for her age

Right now id vote Ovie and india for the win.

Simply do not believe Molly Mae likes Tommy at all. And shit stirred far too much this season.

Dont care much for Anton and Belle.

Dont particularly like Greg (though im warming to him, after calling out Curtis last night).

Dont really feel anything towards Maurtis.

Dont think ive missed anyone. Tell you what though, Chris and Fran got shafted. They should have been in a lot earlier.

Yeah I hated her too but he is definitely a twat. Also Jordan led her up the garden path asking her to be his girlfriend also did anyone notice he kept grinning when she was confronting him, that prompted fuelled the fire it definitely would me
Her reaction to the baby task did make me smirk.

Yea she had him sussed, I've hated his act since the beginning.

I don't think Anton is gay, he's just vain and metro.

Ovie and India are the best couple for me, although that's 85% down to him being the absolute don.


Molly is so full of shit it's coming out her ears and Tommy is a nice lad but thick as a brick and pretty dull.

Antons 100% Metro. Curtis, dunno. Well hes definitely not gay, he shagged maura the other night.
Wouldn't say that necessarily means anything if he did, but having seen him with Amy, Francesca and now Maura.. He's either gay or he's as villain said, a genuine psychopath.

I cant quite make India out, she comes across as potentially playing a game, she has all the outside knowledge. If I'm going in late and playing a game I'd be assessing who the public think is most popular, even better if they are single so you dont cause controversy splitting them up- oh look Ovie ticks all these boxes. You dont allow your head to be turned (Jordan after her.) However she may be genuine and a quieter character who's been pushed to the side a bit by the gang of alpha women eg Mura Anna and Amber. I would probably try and fly under the radar if faced with them

His happiest moments have come from spending time with the guys, and has gotten more upset at his friends leaving rather than losing the girls he’s been coupled up with.
He’s been coupled up with Belle for a few weeks now, and has barely tried anything on with her, you never see them kissing or being intimate even at night time - she’ll stroke the back of his neck but that’s about it. If they broke up I actually don’t think he’d care. But if Tommy was to go I think he’d have a meltdown - it’s very odd.

I mean it does. It literally means he isnt gay. Could be Bi mind, but hes certainly not gay.

I think there are gay guys out there who would swing the other way for £50k and some more instagram deals. But it's probably more likely that he's just a sociopath and actually doesn't care about intimacy with anyone.

I don't think they have had sex either. They maybe did something or other, but given the mini drama this episode and Maura saying the first thing she wanted to do when they got into the real world was ..... Doesn't sound like they went all the way.

In the hideaway. About 95% certain we saw them at it.
I either can't remember or wasn't paying attention, either is possible, but she definitely said earlier when she was complaining about the lack of action that she understands he doesn't want to have sex.

That may have been because of being in the same room as everyone else though tbf.

Summary:

- Molly and Tommy- personally dont think she is playing a game, she is quite ice queen but has cried where expected to cry, I do think Tommy is more into her than she is into him and I don't think they will last on the outside. Tommy comes across as quite sweet and is the one I'd pick if I was in there.

-Curtis and Maura. Just doesn't seem right, he is definitely not manly and wouldn't shock me if he was gay. I've seen more manly gay men. I'd put Maura with someone like Anton or Greg she comes across as wanting banter, he doesn't look like he could keep up. Those 2 together are a bit like when Jose's last few months with us when he was putting together all those bizarre line ups with players out of position

-Belle and Anton- meh. Anton comes across as much more likeable now hes dropped the player act. He may still be but he seems a much nicer guy when he isn't trying to be some player type. However I could never take seriously a guy who gets his mum to shave his bum

-Amber and Greg- again nothing really remarkable, wont last on the outside. Bit like one of our line ups with the odd player out of position

-Ovie and India- carried a little by Ovie however India hasn't really been in there long enough to get her personality across especially when there are already established gobby women in there. Ovie could win but it depends how the public perceive India. If she is genuine I'd put them as most likely to last on the outside

What a dull episode with everyone being lovey dovey. Would have been better if Anna and Jordan were kept in for a couple more days.

What about all these people who have been married you see about selling their stories online only for the husband to leave them for another guy? I think they deserve did something she said something that I cant remember what but it did sound like they at least went part of the way.

This I barely paid attention people's comment on here were more interesting. I'd have liked to see Anna's reaction to being told they were going on a date, she refused to do the baby task maybe she would have gone on her own or something

Out of interest, in 2019, what is it to be "manly?"

Very good points. You rarely see the guys cry when another guy leaves its usually the girls. Didn't he save someone the other day as it would upset him too much to lose him? Jordan maybe when they were at the clubbing event? Initially he came across as a male version of Maura hence why I'd have put them together, however he seems very sensitive and sweet. You've raised very interesting points. It may just be hes not massively into Belle or can tell she is game playing so doesn't want to lead her on unlike a certain dancer however he was quick to bin Amy at the start so would he just stay with her for the sake of it?

As an aside they should do a gay/lesbian/ bi/ trans etc love island think it would be more interesting than the straight one

She would have murdered him if they were forced to go on a date together. As much of a bitch as she was the show needs characters like her. Apart from Maura and Amber there are no feisty people left.

I guess the difference for me is that the guys have openly lied about their behaviour and manipulated it to make it look like the women are acting irrationally & childishly (in Michael’s voice) when they react to the guys behaviour.
Individually the worst behavior has come from Curtis, Michael, Jordan, and Anna. Collectively the girl-clique that developed early on has come across pretty bad, not just in reaction to the boys’ behavior but also, for example, when Maura arrived in and their treatment of Lucy. That’s what provoked the first big argument if I remember correctly. Also, there’s been quite a bit of groveling from the guys, mainly deservedly from Curtis but also, for example, with Chris the other day when he’d done nothing wrong.

But yeah, the three guys above have behaved atrociously, with Anna the only girl coming close.

Yes he saved Michael because he wanted “to end the journey together”, but when it came to Yewande he said “its love island not friend island”, but he’s the only one who’s barely tried to find love.
It could be edited of course, but from the beginning i’ve thought that he was playing a game and that the only interest he showed in the girls was to gain approval from the rest of the lads. The whole peacocking thing he did when Arabella came in and he spent about 30 mins getting ready for her sealed the deal for me - it was clear that he was seeking approval from the lads, and every attempt at getting a girl has come across as purely platonic.
Contrast that with the first week he was literally all over Tommy and practically holding his hands and rubbing his shoulders every chance he got :lol:

The bum shaving thing is a bit of a smoke screen I feel, like if he says it himself then he can come across as being so secure in his heterosexuality to admit something like that on National TV, whilst being this muscular & masculine gym bro, so you wouldn’t think he’s gay at all.
However based on nothing but anecdotal stories from my gay friends & my own intuition - those are type of guys who are more likely to be closeted.

On your aside - there’s another show based in the US that’s even more toxic and full of idiots called ‘Are you the one’ where like 10 girls and guys have a chance at winning a share of $1m if they correctly couple up with each other. As each week goes by, if they don’t guess every couple correctly then the prize money goes down - and of course people ignore the rules and stay with people even though they aren’t a match with and cause chaos in the house. Plus they have sex like almost every night, it’s truly wild :lol:
They have a LGBTQ version this season - where everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum - and honestly it’s a mess, everyone is sleeping with everyone else

That’s a cracking show, the best of this type really (although Ex on the Beach will always have a place in my heart).

Ex on the beach and the tablet of terror :drool:
Both of them are the elite tier trash TV

Love island is tame in comparison

My wife watches ex on the beach and I genuinely have to leave the room because it makes me angry. Every single person on that show is, quite frankly, absolute scum.

Awfully boring episode last night.

Will there be the lie detector this week? Or will it be cancelled due to the whole Jeremy Kyle drama?

Cancelled for that reason which is a shame because the lie detector episodes on Love Island were great trash TV viewing.

The meet the parents episode is soon which will be interesting. Tamer Hassan (from Football Factory and The Business) is Belle's dad. Anton better be on his best behaviour.

Ovie for the win. Even if that means India also shares the glory.
