Re: Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

Where I am from the boys (and MEN) have short hair, no BIG tats and nice bodies.  They are usually the wildest so appearances can be deceiving Smiley Very Happy  I think he's se xy and I wish Kierstan would have given him a second (or third) chance.

 

The new guy - Brett (?) is a hard pass.  Too much hair gel.  I think they give these people a dialogue because the conversation seemed forced ... something is off.  He has Lakyn so Carrington can drool from afar.

 

I too would have given Carrington the heave-ho and set him FREE to be with Lakyn (Lincoln).  I don't care for either.  Carrington is hot but is personality is not.  I guess Lakyn is glad to be hanging around to keep Laurel crying.

 

Cely and jonny  -  eewww  -  the corny - 'be my GF'

 

Calvin and Moira:  Moira bores me to tears - but Calvin is too much fun to watch.  I wish he found SOMEONE.

 

Justine and Caleb are too cute.  I would vote for them.

 

I will probably miss tonight and Saturdays are re-caps.  I wonder when this will end.

Interesting about the info!  Post whatever dish you have -- I'd love to hear!!!  


Some basic dish was he was most attracted to Kiersten.  Reality Steve felt the same way.  Like there was zero competition.

-He was asked what the deal was with all the guys going after Lauren and he said that she just came in basicaly with all the swag, confidence and killer body.  Not his exact words but gist.

-The guy who got kicked off, it wasn't because of what he did for a living, it was because he lied in the applying process; that is grounds to be removed right there.  

-Asked about Moira falling for any guy who looked at her he laughed and said yeah, that if that were him or one of the guys who did that, they would be looked at as a total player and completely different.   

-Connor and Mac..he said the guys tried to keep Connor from going back to Mac because he is such a great all-around guy and they didn't want her treating him that way.  They were shocked after the way she was with him that she chose the other guy.

So the following is not a spoiler per se, but his opinion on some stuff that may affect how one feels about certain people, so I will put in a spoiler tag. This is all I can remember offhand but if I think of more I will post.

Spoiler
Johnny.  Just feels he could win an Oscar.  He is there solely for the money.   Didn't care about what was going on with Mercedes because he knew he could get Cely to forgive him.  When asked if Johnny were to "win" and had to make the decision to keep all the money or split it, Tre said they used to talk about that and Johnny laughed that he would keep it all. Tre said he didn't know if Johnny would really have the guts to do that,  but that was his plan.  He said there is no doubt Cely would split it.  

ETA:   If there is a question you have or something you were wondering about, lmk....they may have addressed it.

Thanks for taking time to post the spoiler.  I hope Cely has an idea about jonny ... but I don't think so or else Cely could also get an Oscar too.

 

  I did chuckle when the Ladies did the 'dare' to the unsuspecting men.  Laurel got the duty to get the man 'with the hot air' - jonny to blow up the pool float.

Re: Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

Haven't been able to post til now....had my hair colored and cut for the first time since March, whew! Big day. I'm back to being a natural blond  Smiley Wink

 

Watched last night. I didn't know for sure but always felt that a $$$ prize was a big factor. I think that the only genuine couple is Caleb and Justine. I hope they win. They're both likeable. I am a fan of Sely but not of Johnny. (great comment on the "hot air").

 

Guess that's the reason for Carrington finally choosing Lauren after all the Laken drama. Maybe he is trying for the good wiil audience vote. Also, realized why Laken didn't kick Bennet to the curb, now she's in the running and Kiersten and Julia are gone. Phony couple, don't think they'll win. Moira and Caleb are just playing the game, they're not contenders. Just my thoughts, let's see how America votes.

 

I felt bad for Kiersten. She was well liked but never clicked with any of the guys. I thought she should've picked Bennet to stay in the game. Maybe the writers wanted "the other woman" to stay to rile up Carrington and Laura. Laura does seem genuine and likeable. Do they have a category like BB's America's Favorite Player? She might win that.

 

Carrington and Sely seem to be the best performers. She's a natural and while I'm not fond of him he's the most polished in the "contests".

 

I look forward to the final shows. I'll miss the group dishing the Love Island dirt when it's over!

Re: Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

@sktchy 

Calvin is the cutest one in my book!!! 

 

Brett is odd???  And Brett choosing Lakyn --- leaves the door open for more drama for the Carrington/Laurel saga!

 

I agree about Carrington.  Nice looking but that conceit is a real turn-off.  The mirror is his best friend!  

 

How true --- Cely and Johnny --- so sick of their cornball garbage!

 

I never cared for Justine from the start -- she seemed fake.  I liked Caleb right off.  I hope she really does like him.

 

Too bad about Kierstan getting the boot.  I have to give her credit though.  She didn't pretend to be interested in Bennett, just so she could stay.

 

The newest dark haired girl that got the boot --- she was very pretty and seemed very nice.  Nobody seemed interested much in her.  Maybe she was not trashy enough.  LOL

 

As for Moira, she showed not much interest in Calvin until the 2 new girls arrived and then she started suddenly to be into him and very smoochy.  Hmmmm ---- wonder why?  LOL   Me thinks she is protecting her stake in the possible $$$$.

@sktchy 

 

Thanks for the scoop!  I don't know.  Probably all of it is fake.  I'd like to think that there are some real feelings involved, but the fact that there is such a large money prize at the end makes you wonder.  Johnny just seems so smooth and rehearsed though.

@candyagain 

Glad you got your hair done!  Boy, mine needs it!

 

I agree about Johnny and Cely!

 

I believe also that Carrington chose Laurel because he didn't want viewers to dislike him.  Otherwise, I think he would have chosen Laken.  

 

At this point -- I've never been a huge fan of Justine but I do like Caleb, so I hope they end up winning.

 

Me, too.  Kierstan, poor girl -- just couldn't get over Carrington.  What a shame -- he's such a scumbag.

Re: Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

Ohmygosh, when they showed Cely tearing up and talking about her mom and how she wants to help her financially I thought so clearly to get the viewer vote for the $$ .  By that I mean I don't think that that was her purpose, but definitely production.  It was like they purposely did a little clip of the two main couples back to back:  Johnny and Cely with her crying and her rough life and wanting to help her mom financially.  Nobody asked her to but she just wants to while wiping tears. Then Caleb and Justine, with her saying at this point she doesn't need the title, she's just so happy with where they're at.  lol

 

Viewers votes.  I wonder why Laurel got worst girlfriend?   Was that from the boys?  I can't remember.  But um...clearly that would be Moira IMO.  Just because of those left she was the most flitty going from boy to boy.  For two-faced I don't remember seeing any of them being that way other than when Cely told Carrington essentially he's a much better fit with Lakeyn or whatever her name is and then turning around to console Laurel.  

I think it was probably like ice water running through his veins when Johhny realized that the viewers aren't as in love with him as he thought.  Talk about. a rude awakening.    I did feel badly for Moira.  

 

And one other thing I forgot to mention about the podcast.  RS asked Tre if *anything* was going on under the sheets.  He laughed and said not that he knew of.  They were all in the room and would've heard it and that would have been awkward kind of thing (gist).  Didn't know about what went on in the hideawy.

Re: Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

Definitely a show setting up the finale. My guess is Caleb and Justine. They seem to have a genuine connection but doubt it will last outside. I had to laugh when Justine wondered if her mother was proud of her as she sat there wearing a top leaving NOTHING to the imagination on national TV.

 

Moira's vote for most two-faced was puzzling but her overreaction to it was even more bewildering. They must be going for Emmy's plus the prize money.

 

Bennet looked tired. Laken reminded me of the British girl voted out earlier. Kind of smug.

 

I guess Carrington knows now that he's not a viewer favorite and Laura isn't his boost for the prize. Enjoyed seeing Johnny's ego deflated, too. Why were they all standing in a foot of water?

 

Do we know how the voting will be done? Is it America's vote only? Can individuals win or only the couple?

 

I've noticed that CBS is using the background singers in their Fall promotion spot. The Love Island music has been part of the high drama for me in the show.
