Anyone Watching Love Island?

[tiggerblue10]

I'll admit to watching it and quite enjoying it. And it's a bit of light relief and entertainment for me at the moment.

If you are watching it, who do you see winning?

[andy-hughes]

I am perfectly happy to admit that this series is categorically not aimed at someone like me as its demographic.

But I pride myself on watching and listening to as much diverse material as i can find, so I have dipped into the series to see what its like.

I know it doesn't matter, and as i said, the demographic it is aimed at will not care one iota, but my overwhelming impression is this -

Do they audition for the series on the basis that chosen participants will be the most physically attractive members of their generation, while simultaneously managing to be so utterly devoid of wit, character, education, appeal, humour, and anything else you might want to explore once their mind-watering beauty has worn off?

Like I say, it matters not, but for that reason, I won't be investing, and I'm out.

Alan Sugar would be proud of you Andy!

[andy-hughes]

Why would Sid be interested?

[elliemay1]

Sorry, Andy, it was Dragons' Den where that phrase was used!

[andy-hughes]

Indeed. I wondered if you had mixed them - easily done.

[elliemay1]

Thanks for understanding, Andy

19:46 I meant Danika and Billy, of course !

[tiggerblue10]

Burly, I think Gemma and Luca could win if Luca would stop overreacting.

I didn't watch the last few series of LI it's entertaining me at the moment. I'm not into sport or talent shows or property shows or most game shows and we all have differing likes and dislikes.

[burlyshirley]

I think Luca blotted his copy book last night, total overreaction ! I'm not too keen on Gemma, she comes across as a spoilt brat to me, who is used to always getting her own way.

Couldn't stand Ekin-Su at the beginning but she's grown on me. And I think Davide is a hypocrite.

[burlyshirley]

I have been certain for a while now that Davide is using Ekin, I don't think he fancies her at all. She is very attractive and if he leaves with her, they will probably get a lot of air time and rake in the money. Or am I being cynical ? For a while I thought he was the dishiest bloke in there, but I have changed my mind now. I still love little Danika ...

I also love Iain Stirling's commentary, I often laugh out loud at things he says.

This is the first year I have ever watched LI because I've had things on my mind lately and I wanted the pure escapism that it offers.

[tiggerblue10]

You could be right about him. She's an actor in a Turkish soap and yes, very attractive. I don't seem to find any of the blokes on there to my liking looks wise tbh. Although I did like Jacques baby face.

Iain Stirling is hilarious and likewise, I need a bit of escapism at the moment after a lot of crap going on with son's school. Also have had a heavy workload on at work and need a break. Feeling exhausted.

[burlyshirley]

I think Adam (bloody) Collard (as Iain Stirling calls him) is quite nice looking and I think Billy is cute, although I'm probably old enough to be his Great Nan !!!

Never mind tiggs, we can lose ourselves in it again tonight and hopefully have a laugh at Iain's comments lol.

Thank God for escapism.

Yep! I guess I'm old enough to be their nan, lol
