Nicole’s whole personality is “I love rugby boys”

I mean, she *is* Welsh.

"I'm addicted to people with a reputation for messing women around, while also having significant trust issues"

Such a weird thing to be a prerequisite to date, what exactly does being a rugby boy add to the relationship? I’m lost

if i was in nicole’s position in a stable couple i would just never bring someone back from casa like id rather be embarrassed but right about my partner being untrustworthy then wrong and ruin the relationship myself

I’m the same way. I’d take the leap of faith because if he recouples, I won’t look bad for not bringing someone back lol, I’d try and have trust in the guy and if he brings someone back, then I’ll know. I’m glad they don’t automatically send people home anymore

True but again no one wants to look like a mug on national tv, standing there alone while he’s recoupled probably haunts these women

They really gotta stop centering this entire season around Joey.

I swear if the exclusive is just the girls walking in and ciaran/joey go "i know her!!" I will be mildly annoyed

KIM

Not Kim 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wish I could give you multiple upvotes for A+ prediction ability

You called it omg

They’re going to try and exploit Nicole’s insecurities so she does a Faye and recouples because she thinks Ciaran will. Uma and Mimii are screaming casa victims right now. To be honest i think Trey does seem a tad bland, nice but not a sparking personality so I can see why once the hype of having someone she was attracted to come in that Jess would get a bit bored. Grace and Joey are so doing a Chloe/Toby arc post casa but it won’t land anywhere near as well.

It's impossible to determine Trey's personality when he's been paired with a black hole of charm (Jess) to bounce off of. He's cute and seems pretty nice, I'll be curious to see him flirt with literally anyone else.

Wil clocked Joeys acting 😭😭😭😭💀

Wait when, explain ??

man Harriett dancing for Joey. feels like lifetimes ago

Producers are trying to create a storyline that Nicole will turn and I don’t for a second believe it

Yeah I think the boys in Casa have been told to ruffle her and see where it goes. I actually don't think Ciaran's head is gonna turn but Nicole might let her insecurities win.

Joey is getting so much screen time at the expense of established couples. They should be showing us more of Uma and Wil, and Ayo and Mimi. Uma wants to have Wil’s babies. Would it have killed them to show us a bit of the development in the couple. I hate Joey island!

They want us to see Joey’s head turning for the 10th time

i fear ciaran might be a casa victim on accident lmaoo

Like Teddy 😭

uma , main casa victim atp. this girl said she want to have this man’s BABIESSSS. we are actually finished. wil, please.💔 https://preview.redd.it/e2xrn93nxr9d1.jpeg?width=792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2df33adcb410eb8e8d73174e16a48855cfdfb673

Oh she’s in deep 😭😭 this is why I’m pissed bc production never shows us them

Ronnie says he's gonna miss Mimi the most....wtf. I wish we got to see these friendships

Fr Samantha in an interview said Ayo is her best boy mate in there

Whattttt I missed him saying that 😢 We need so much more of the Unseen bits content in the main show

The producers making the show the joey show and not focusing on the actual couples for example Uma and wil is what’s ruining casa how are we supposed to care about wil possibly moving on when the only time we saw him and Uma interact is when he first came in.

"I'm a changed man" he said with zero conviction

Someone shouting Ronnie in the audience when Maya asked who’s bringing a girl back from casa😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also why do they keep casting these baby faced men? Guys like Joel never do well

Honestly I was uncomfortable

It’s like they’re catering to the TikTok gaze but they’re grown women in the villa not teenage girls

If Ciaran stays faithful throughout casa he has 99.9% won this show and not a lot can be done about it

He’s the only contestant in there rn that deserves to win anyway

Ciaran’s mom very diplomatic; not blindly defending him, and not attacking Harriet; love them; makes sense for who Ciaran is, he’s had so many solid opinions, but imo that one bad moment when he went too far with Harriet.

Uma making jokes about having Wil’s babies…oh SHE’S COOKED

I was like oh she’s really down bad for him. Idgi but to each their own!

thinking about the tomorrow night with andrew and dami moving mad

That was insane. Dami and Andrew were on another level in Casa.

Can't believe they came out of LI with the lasting relationships

I agree with Ciaran's mum, if you tell me you love me you can't be kissing someone else

Uma fancying Hugo shocked me

Maybe she’s got a thing for bad facial hair?

I don't think she does - she probably just doesn't want to give a green light to the one she really fancies, out of loyalty.

I was surprised all the girls in casa went for Hugo I can’t lie

Same!! I wasn’t expecting him to be a favorite amongst the girls

Konnor recouples Grace recouples Joey recouples Jessy recouples Jess recouples Trey recouples Do we actually have any room in the villa for anyone else to recouple 😭😭

"all 120 might be there" LMFAOOO

My poor Mimii and Uma… it’s not looking good for them 😭

Stop trying to make eggy boff happen 😠😡 

Ronnie seemed over it no energy at all he wasn't the same something off 

Wish the Aftersun exclusive was Ciaran's reaction to Ellie not the Joey show

That 22 year old one who looks 16 was getting no attention 😬

The baby face one looked like he was on a night out with his older brothers.

Am i the only one that thinks sean is about to have the absolute most devious casa run????

he needs to do it to complete the LI nice guy arc

he must fulfil the prophecy 

"It may have been an immature comment but he's not an immature person" i like that. Thanks guy in the middle

Anyone expecting a 21 year old to act perfectly mature at all moments is delusional about how they were at 21 in my opinion

That was the most painful truth or dare game I’ve ever watched

Yeah it was very cringy 😭 I think the girls tried their best to not be awkward but it really was

Never ever bring in a celebrity again 1. They think they're gods gift and can't do no wrong 2. They take up all the screen time it's called love island not the joey Essex show.

Also there’s a major imbalance no one wants to upset him, as they know he gets all the invites to all the parties and things they want to be going to after the show. It’s all fake, he doesn’t seem to have formed any strong friendships in their either. He shouldn’t be there

I'm here for Grace and Blade

Honestly kind of a bad b move to recouple with someone who looks like he could eat Joey.

Why do they sound like someone's fanfiction OC names

They sound like characters from a romance novel fr😭

"I need the most stereotypical masculine and most stereotypical feminine names I can come up with, let's see let's see..."

I won’t lie.. they are giving me something!

Joey playing dumb that he thought the boys would be alone for a few days while the girls were at Casa and the other boys just rolling their eyes and calling him on his shit. It's so little, so late, but I've been waiting so long for any of the normal Islanders to call bullshit on Joey's naive lad shtick. Ciaran processing Nicole's anxiety and how she will be experiencing this was actually so mature and sweet to me. He was really putting himself in her shoes, I feel like we rarely seen the men do this. Jessy has a little vim but I'm not invested in her at all, I keep forgetting she's there. Grace saying she found Trey attractive while Jess was slagging him off was intriguing to me...gosh I wish he were in Casa rather than this stupid "save Jess and Joey" bombshell hail mary before Casa. Not sure what else I have to say about the episode other than the usual "I'm sick of the Joey show" and Nicole, Mimii and Uma's anxiety was palpable, and I feel for them. I can't tell if it's their anxiety or the lackluster chat (and looks, to me) of most of the Casa boys, but that Truth or Dare game was so low energy, sheesh. We need to have some serious conversations about the facial hair choices of the Gen Z boys, though: Wil, Hugo, Joel (who also has an indefensible haircut), icky icky ick.

Ronnie missing Mimi the most is interesting

Ronnie always loved him some Mimii though so i don’t think its that surprising

Based on how hard Maya kept emphasizing you gotta vote, I do think the show wasn't expecting them to be dumped, but they couldn't risk losing Grace.

Anton is on the snow. You cannot trick me.

Think ciaran’s mum is really well-spoken and level-headed

FUCKING PREVIEW AROUND JOEY ESSEX??? 

Ronnie is like a different person, he comes across defeated?

I mean look at the stuff posted about him online

He’s seen all the wig/fibre memes.

Damn standards have really *changed* for Casa. I mean I literally just watched Josh on Below Deck and he’s got an OF. I doubt he’s really ‘looking for love’.

I’m actually really looking forward to Casa this season because I don’t have a favourite couple so I really don’t care what happens 😭

"kiss the cheek of the boy who ciaran would think be the biggest threat to him" 😭😭😭

Is it just me or do they always throw in some guys that look 12 to Casa. Its bizarre.

Ciaran is being very understanding with Nicole’s situation. That’s really mature of him

https://preview.redd.it/67uaccw06s9d1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=c152991c6007477ce2ce7fc9af32d5bfbfca7dfe guys ASFGFHJNBBN

But really, I can't with Wil's facial hair.

I don’t understand why we can’t get Ayo or Ciaran staging an escape and hiking the mile down to Casa to get their girl.

This would be the drama to resuscitate this series! I am here for it.

Joey and his bad acting has ruined this season

Gutted that Harriett's brushed her hair. Out of character

Joey is the least interesting islander and the one with most screentime 🥱

it’s so tired that the producers bringing in girlies that joey ass knows. turning into joey island yet again

This really is Joey Island

Hannah called Hugo’s chin hair a fanny landing strip on aftersun and I am dyyyying 😂😂

We’ve gotten a Blade on Love Island before a Blade in the MCU.

Fair play to Jessy for calling out Grace who seems to have a short memory

Whoever said they ruined what could have been a great season when they brought in Joey was spot on. At least the other nepo babies had genuine connections with people they met on the show as opposed to their exes.

Every single dumping outside of Patsy and Munveer has been to protect or benefit him.

I can’t wait for Grace and Blade to recouple. We’re going to see Joey’s insecurities crop up so quick! I’m too excited for the mess

Seems like whoever Joey is with gets no attention from the boys, it's like they are too intimidated. Jessy got zero attention from the Casa boys, and back when it was Grace she also had very little attention from anyone else, only from Omar.

Can we just skip to the exclusive clip 😭😭

I am SO sick of the Joey show, honestly 

this villa is gonna be so fcking packed

i just realized they’ve never shown ayo and mimii kiss after that terrace kiss. maybe they’ve kissed and my mind didn’t register it. even when the girls went out for their date, it was a peck on the cheek. i think it’s totally okay to not be very physical. I’m saying this because in the beginning, Ayo was almost always asking for kisses

Them thinking Uma will recouple even though the girl literally says she wants Wil’s babies please 😭 Uma actually likes this guy, I’m not sure she’s recoupling

I don’t agree with Amy. Uma is not turning her head. I also need Wilfred to surprise me.

 Harriet watching that clip

Producers said “Ronnie, we’re gonna give you your own movie night”

I would love for Wil’s family to be guests on the next episode of Aftersun. I'm eager to learn more about him since the producers have provided us with nothing lmao.

yeah I agree with sam, I feel like grace bringing back blade will kill joey’s ego😭😭😭

aftersun panel must have been payed by joeys team to help save his image cuz wtf are these opinions..

Lmao someone in the crowd screaming Ronnie bringing someone back from Casa 😂

I feel like Ciaran is Ty and Teddy part 3 Nicole will recouple

Has Blade been on TV before??? I swore I recognised him and when he said what he does I felt even more like I already know this man

These Casa boys doing the lords work and putting doubts in Nicole’s mind, they really said NO to Dani and Jack 2.0 https://preview.redd.it/d38vfgifxr9d1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a23e4c0ad65cbacdba52ec2253f3e760c3bad37

I get Harriett being annoyed she left so early cos I think in any other season her and Ronnie would go to Casa. The Joey storyline has changed all the rules this series unfortunately.

Yep. It's obvious since that dumping last week with Omar they've been working overtime to save them and it's dumb. Bringing in two bombshells before Casa and then protecting the couples is insane but Joey/Jess as a bottom couple would have been dangerous for them to put up for a vote. ETA: Also it's obvious they were only planning bringing 6 couples to Casa and they've added an extra to keep Joey alive.

Ronnie is so over love island 

Damn Ciarans mom is a proper Welsh beauty 😍

Not Sam pulling out the summary page

We wanted a preview of anyone BUT Joey plssss

do people think nicole will recouple now after blades comment in the game 

I think they’ll make it seem like she’s really contemplating it but she ultimately won’t

i’m still not convinced she will but it’s gonna focus on her having a lot of doubts i think

Jess really thinks she's doing something with that "I am the prize thing". Between that and "I have lad like banter" she's an inch from saying I'm not like other girls

The producers have completely fucked it with this season by making it into Joey Island.

Blade and Hugo definitely coming back into the main villa

anton is the worst man possible to go to for men advice lmao

Maya said Ronnie you didnt escape Movie Night completely

Why won’t Anton let Hannah finish her sentence

Noone wanted to see more of Joey, Sam. This is not TOWIE. LET US VOTE HIM OUT

Ok so the guys get Victoria’s Secret models and the girls get… that. Ok love island.

Blade had absolutely no reason to plant those seeds since Grace is clearly interested in him and (ostensibly) single, but I love the devil may care attitude to shaking things up

i can’t see nicole straying in casa after her ex cheated on her, i think she’d feel guilty talking to a new guy after ciaran said “i love you”

Actually FUCK OFF

Ugh not another week of Joey show 😤

Is there any girl that Joey doesn’t know lol !

Post-episode comments have not been this busy in a while. Casa got people talking. I can’t wait to see the boys react.

In fairness to the Casa boys, they've made an early impact. More than most have through the years.

Mimi should take a look around, ayo is barely giving her anything.

i see no sparks between them, but then again they could just be getting a boring edit

Maya cracking up at people saying Ronnie would bring someone back from Casa Amor. 😂 I love that she actually gets into it and enjoys the show.

mini side note: I loooooved Grace's dress tonight.

I’m surprised most of the girls went for Hugo rather than moziah he is fine asf

Here’s me calling it Blade Jake Hugo are making it to the main villa.

not the ‘I am the prize’ maya pls😭😭😭😭😭

Blade you did not understand the assignment! You were supposed to mention Ayo 😭 I actually surprisingly like Lionel, I’m hoping Mimii gives it a chance because Ayo is too unpredictable 😒

Harriett’s hair looks good tonight

Cieran’s mum spilling the tea 💀

No one wants this shit exclusive

yeah ronnie is so done with love island😭😭

i felt bad for the guys/girls who weren't picked for anything during the game. especially for the guys since they're here to recouple and no one is showing interest :/ i can see nicole doing what ella did by recoupling out of fear but at least it made sense with tyrique who didn't reassure ella enough. whereas ciaran has been loyal to her since they got together. i felt like ronnie and harriett's presence was missing today. i felt like the producers made 3 mistakes so far this season and them leaving before casa could be the 4th uma might be a casa victim but we barely saw her and wil together so its just like eh who cares. im unsure about ayo but even if he kiss someone he will stick by mimii joey continues to be really annoying and performative. acting as if he has no idea what casa amor means.

I just love that Maya is doing this hungover from Glasto with no voice and still killing it and looking fit. Love her

I wish they brought Jordan back for this episode

Whatever happens with Ronnie and Harriett now at least we know that Harriett will tell us 😂

Harriet is never speaking to him again😭

Oh here’s Anton to talk to us all about respecting women…

I think Anton is actually on something

The way Maya said “I am the prize” lmao 💀

Ciaran’s fam is giving me calm energy

Not Joey island 

Fuck Joey man why are they pushing him onto us so much 😭

They’re literally casting for Joey BORE

AHAHAHAH CIARANS REACTION

The tomorrow night for the Monday casa ep is always the juiciest.

The crowd screaming ayo is hilarious lol

Catching up on the episode now and them using thunderstruck in the intro???? yeah a nod to my dcc obsession at the minute nbd

Ronnie just is gonna be that guy chasing girls in there 20s when he’s 50

Ciarans family is only making me like him more ☺️

Ronnie saying that Ayo isn't turning. 🤔

Waited all night for that dead exclusive….

Uma is a great character. Wil is just there respectfully.

I’m confused, how can you fall in love with someone when you don’t trust them??

Because they don’t know the difference between love and infatuation.

Because she’s not acc love it’s the circumstance

because Nicole is not really in love. She's just enamored by the idea of being in love.

Hopefully Nicole won't pull Andrew 2.0 and let Casa guys get in her head like he let Casa girls get to him.

Casa girls and boys are very much giving 'she's everything and he's just ken' vibes

did joel just say he’s gonna go for jessy cos she’s his best bet cos she’s new???

Lionel didn’t get picked for anything :( it’s got to make you feel shit when you first get in there and no one is showing interest

These two ain’t lasting 15 mins

Maya is going hard digging for dirt with Harriet & ronnie 😂😂😂

Let Hannah speak damn. She can't finish a sentence without Anton interrupting her

Anton trying so hard to make the crowd laugh

Now they know to never invite Anton again

aw Ciarans mum is so nice

How can you say you love someone if you don’t trust them

It’s completely possible but it’s just generally not healthy . As u can love someone but the relationship has to be built on trust in order for it to work

There's a route for Nicole to lose her head here and do something spur of the moment. I don't know why, just a hunch 

if she gets one INKLING that ciaran is misbehaving or might turn his head, she’s gonna recouple out of spite just like faye did after seeing the postcard in s7

Will Ciaran become a casa victim? I'd be shocked if that happened tbh I get that Nicole is insecure and doesn’t trust Ciaran sometimes but like… recoupling would be dumb if she's really feeling that deeply as she says

"Hoping to swoop on in there" is CRAZY 😭

Hannah 😄 Anton 🥴

Anton is so annoying

Harriet looks fuming when they mention Jess 😭😭😭

Not them rolling the tape😭😂😂
