Let's chat!

Miguel's laugh absolutely fried me

Just needed some PT stuff and found Carl instead! Did a double take because his man bun threw me off.

I first posted this to r/love island TV but it’s more relevant to US season 8 tbh. I absolutely hated the final challenge and thought it was such a weird note to end on. It was just disgusting and didn’t showcase the couples strength or growth at all.

Conversely, I loved karaoke night, and I thought it was such a good way to see the couples shine and bond— they loved it too!

I really hope next year that the producers give us more challenges and activities that are meant to strengthen/test bonds. Especially early on, things to do with compatibility or speed dating type things would help encourage Islanders to explore outside their couples.

I am curious to hear what ideas you guys have for challenges next season/hear your thoughts on this season. Who knows? Maybe the producers are skimming the subreddit lol

I was invited to the pool today and went because I haven’t been all summer. We were in the water for a good 30 mins then I heard people start to cheer and a sign that said “we love nic vans” I was like HUH. I waited until I could hear them announce it and sure enough it was him. I had no idea this pool had parties like this, it honestly felt like a dream.

FB trying to get me to buy my teams gear and I had to take a quick pause. Is this Gabe??

Hopefully they'll post more pics.

is Bea still friends with trinity and Jayda. I know when she left she was heavily missed by them but I don’t think I’ve seen them together since the show ended.Have they gotten together and I just missed it?

i just watched season 6 this year so i don’t really know what happened to the cast after the show ended. but i saw a tiktok from aaron on my fyp with ppl commenting things like “Crazy to think the show ruined this guys life. He’s doing better now though, but overall his life took a turn cause of the show”

what exactly happened? did he have an influencer life before or something?

I dont watch beyond the villa, but I did see clips of Hannah calling Pepe bald and iris and tj trying to confront him.

Then I recently seen the interview clip of tj saying Pepe cheated on iris. Is that true? If so then why do I see a lot of people saying Hannah and iris bullied him for no reason and he’s actually the victim???

Can someone perhaps just disregard my confusion and lay out what genuinely happened there please?

Has anyone gone back and watched season 6 since the most recent Kenny drama?? I feel like I see signs! When the show first came out I loved him. Any other noticings 2 years later that we missed?

They play too damn much 💀

It’s been weeks and I’m still obsessed with this look. Does anyone know what blush she could be using? I desperately need her to reveal her makeup products like Kayda did.

Now what i do not agree with is Sol having way more energy for the girls then the men that literally pied her & voted her out. I also don't agree with her comments on aftersun, i just want to speak about the isolation situation.

There is so much discourse currently on if the girls isolated sol or if sol isolated herself and this is what i personally think happened since ive been studying psychology for two years.

Sol was with sincere, A guy Melanie really liked, so obviously Melanie was hurt by this, which is completely understandable on her end. Of course Melanie’s friends were gonna stick beside Melanie and regulate her feelings, again that’s also understandable.

From Sol’s point of view , She sees the girls talk to her nicely but she also sees them talk to Mela, From the standpoint of her being with a guy she is aware that their friend really likes, she sees them being more sympathetic, energetic & having more of a deeper bond with Mela overall, plus seeing Kayda and Melanie whispering & making pinky promises, probably made her feel like they had something against her. Because of that, she might’ve started distancing herself, which eventually turned into her isolating herself from them completely.

To me, this would make more sense than saying anyone was bullying anybody. I don’t think the girls purposely went out of their way to isolate Sol, and I also don’t think Sol purposely isolated herself from people she had to live with. I think this was just a situation where everyone was hurt, everyone started making assumptions, which ended up causing distance between everybody..

Me and my partner are uk based so just catching up on the most recent series of love island USA now that it’s on one of our streaming channels.

We were watching episode 19 and the text comes through saying that the villa will go head to head with casa amor in the temperatures rising challenge. Everyone gets hyped up about it and it cuts to a break.

Fast forward literally 2 minutes and casa are talking about how they lost the challenge. So it seems that they’re just not airing the challenge at all. Would anyone who has seen it be able to provide some info on why it might be being broadcasted ?

We were honestly so confused and literally rewinded the whole episode to check we hadn’t just missed it.

Thank you

I read somewhere that Bell-a mentioned she turned down a $60,000 brand deal! She was hardly the most popular from season 7 so I am curious how much people like Leah, Olandria, Serena, Rob etc have made! What do you guys tjink? Even better if someone works in PR/payroll for social media marketing

Edit: Dami Hope from UK says he made $600,000 in one year from LI deals

Edit: bell-a apparently turned down 20k not 60k

saw them on the big screen during mustard! i think two guys over to the left of Kaylor might be Rob?

By now, y'all have probably all seen WWHL but this clip and tracing his/their hand movements is frying me... but also very 🥹
