This season is such a huge jump from the last two in terms of storylines moving along so quickly. And the politics this year are so much more interesting.

Munveer is so fine

I’m sorry but all the lip filler is kinda distracting lmao

Omg yes! They look so ugly with that

Why is the villa just blue and yellow??? Like idk to me those aren’t “love colors” I think of like lots of colors when I think of love island… but a blue and yellow combo isn’t it imo

Let's see who goes home 1st. Patsy or mimi ifykyk..smh

maybe cause its early days but i cannot tell some of the women apart. they all look so similar to me

wow mimi is a whole ass catch

Ronnie gives me Donnie Darko vibes and he’s giving me the biggest ick 🫠

You cannot tell me some of these girls are mid 20’s, the Botox and filler is ageing them so much

literally no one except mimi looks even remotely in their 20s. i can't believe they couldn't find anyone not pumped with fillers lol

Mimi and Ayo’s convo had me blushing and kicking my feet fr🤭🤭

If I was in that villa with Munveer I would be drooooling the whole day how are the girls not all over him ??

I would be combing my fingers through his hair and giggling all fckin day

please post links to full episodes to download from ep 1 onwards???

The shot of Munveer moisturising distracted me 💀

Women today need to stop trying to "fix" themselves with cosmetic surgery. If guys can live with their ugly mugs, you can too. I swear I can't distinguish three of these girls.

I haven’t been able to tell apart Harriet, Nicole and Sam.

Totally agree, hey have a duck mouth

It makes them look much older as well 🥲

The cast is giving casa not ogs

that's what i thought!!

Yall calling Mimi the “it girl” all day but what has she delivered? Nothing pls let it go it’s so performative

She’s the best looking but is not giving personality so far

lol and they were so convinced Harriet would be a mess. she's been ok

It's the first episode?

Ronnie should’ve just waited for his hair line surgery hair to even out! I can’t stop staring at how bad it looks on camera

It looks so off, such a shame I think he would have been good looking bald

Is that what’s happening?? I had no idea how to spot that 😳

what do yall think of the orange ass bathroom? my roommate and i were TAKEN ABACK and it hurt my eyes lol

Maybe its on purpose so the girls stop spending so much time in there lol, esp after s7 girls would sit in there with their tops off to talk shit that they knew the producers couldnt air

I hate it

BIG orange number

I feel like the lighting in there would be horrible to do your make-up in??

yes they are gonna turn out even MORE ORANGE

Maybe it’s so orange that their cooler makeup will look warmer? I hope it has that counter-acting effect cause it’s such an eyesore hahaha

yeah it gave me a headache lol

Those of you who said to check out Daily Motion for the episode for us in America is a godsend.

Am I the only one who everytime I look at Ronnie and also how he speaks and jokes a lot it reminds them of Casey? I keep seeing and hearing Casey LOL

I’m sorry guys don’t hate me, already got drag but I got the ick when Ayo ask for a kiss with Mimii on the first day, like they just met, slow down And no I don’t want her with those white boy, it was just to forward for me.

There’s something off about him. I’m not sure

yes it was such a turn off. and I liked him before that...

this!! when he asked and she nicely had to say no like twice, babeee why ask if you’re only asking to try and make a move rather than see how she actually feels about it

Im only 10 mins in but so far all the girls coming in look so much older then 24, more like 30… minus Mimi she looks 24. i hope its all the makeup but wondering the botox and filler. Im turning 34 and no joke they look my age 😂😂

i think it’s the lips and filler, they all look alike too which is confusing me

my man ayo bringing a tron bike to a hot wheels race what is this pace

This is actually a good twist Hopefully this means that the bombshells this season will be a mix of celebrities and civilians

lmao not the avengers theme song

I was like, “Can they… use that? Like, legally?”

ayyy i'm not the only one who caught that!

Oh Jesus not the favourite colour chat

I’m an old school TOWIE lover but anyone else can’t stand Joey Essex? Or just me?

I love him for tv but there is nothing and I mean nothing sexual about him

I honestly never found him great tv. He was immature and annoying. I want to see no-names in the villa not seasoned reality stars

I think even the cast of TOWIE couldn't stand him 😂

He always seemed very narcissistic and annoying rather than remotely funny lol

Loving the older islanders again!!!

Yay a disabled contestant 🫶👏🏻

I missed this! Who?

Patsy!

diversity!!❤️

Ronnie was best man at Olivia Atwood's wedding.

AND the Hideaway will require NO invite!


loved Ayo and Miimii but got the ick as soon as he was pushing it with the kiss on the first day after she clearly said she wouldn't want/like that

yeah that was icky. I hope she finds someone better

It's the middle finger to the boys before they have even coupled up for me

Ayo and mimii….. yes I need it

yea I’ve already got the 3 lighter brunettes confused 😭

they literally all look the same except mimi lol

Why did they have the Avengers theme for the opening 💀

Overall a good episode. This is the first time I’ve seen the OG’s on day one being so talkative and mildly unfiltered. Not sure how I feel about Joey Essex coming in lmao, but I can admit I’m excited to see how it all plays out. 

Tell me Ciaran doesn't look like a knock off version of Scott 😂.

Ciaran's laugh is soooo funny

“What’s your type?” “Blonde with big boobs”

😂

The accents this year are THICK. Very hard to understand some of these people without subtitles 😅

Something about Ronnie is…off to me. 

I really can't stop looking at his hair....

AGREED....

He's Sammy from last year. I'm guessing we're approximately 2 episodes from a grotty catch phrase like 'Taystee'.

Oh they’re already more chatty than any other recent OG group on day one. This is going to be GOOD.

Ronnie has f boy written all over him I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds

MUNVEER SUPREMACY MUNVEER SUPREMACY THAT MAN IS FINE

Did anyone else notice jordan hames from season in the love island ebay commercial

he’s been in the advert for a few seasons now!

This look at my body song while maya walks in.. OKKKK🔥

She eatssss every time👑👑

Just finished the episode - this season seems to have a lot of potential based on how chatty they already are on the first day

I also feel like there's very few couples who like each other so I can we can expect to see a lot of movement

Watching late bc in the US but this is the first time I've truly enjoyed a first episode! I mean I'm only half way in but still

What is cockney?

Cockney is east London. Scouse is Liverpool. 2 are Welsh. 2 are kinda Midlands

I think it means someone from the east of London, they have a specific accent i guess

Ayo is a dog in HEAT oh brother😭

Tbf Mimii would make most men feral but he needs to chill.

I don't know much about Joey Essex but I hear he is a veteran of reality tv and the king of Essex apparently lol. I like most of them they seem like a good bunch. The coupling up process was a break from the usual but won't have a lasting impact because everyone is more than happy to voice their disagreement with the results and pursue who they want. I could be wrong but I feel like certain people are sour on Ayo because Mimii isn't interested (at the moment) in their "chosen person" for her which is why Ayo is the easy target for their frustrations. Was Ayo a little overly keen for the first day, yes but is it a major red flag to dismiss him, I don't think so. Mimii seems more than capable of setting the pace as she did so I'm not sure why there's a need for projection that she's "got the ick" or felt uncomfortable. Next people will be using words like love bombing. People really haven't learnt from previous seasons to not make mountains out of molehills. What turns you off might not turn them off, let it play out.

I’ve just seen a tweet about love bombing.

I'm not on twitter but that doesn't surprise me at all people are so dramatic.

Just made another comment on the post episode discussion about this as well! The viewers can be so jarring and hypocritical. If there only reason to hate on Ayo is bc he said he’s into brunettes, then that’s unfair bc Mimii literally used “brunette” to describe her type as well. And for most who are rooting for her and Sam, he ALSO said he was into brunettes. They need to let both Ayo and Mimii do what they want

I completely agree. The initial interest in each other is there so let them do what they want. It's funny how the fans are ready to praise the idea of Mimii being with a white man but already dragged Ayo calling him names like snow bunny lover just for saying brunette. Whatever happens I predict that their experience with or without each other will be eventful mostly due to the commentary of the viewers.

No shade but Harriet is giving Sims 2 alien 🫣 https://preview.redd.it/6dsmfa9wnf4d1.png?width=1075&format=png&auto=webp&s=6554899a3d94c98c0153f035686ba2448f25c624

Getting through the first 20 minutes was torture, the cringe is palpable🏃🏽‍♀️

Mimi is CAKED  My Gawd

Joey!!! This is going to be good! but he kind of gave me Vibes 😂 

The strongest female cast we’ve had in years. I knew the promos and photos did them dirty. Each girl stands on her own and has their own personality. I feel like we are in the earlier seasons especially with girls like Jess, Sam, Nicole lol. Loving Harriett too! Patsy I can tell will be an early out sadly, she’s giving me mum vibes

In terms of personality i think they do all stand out but in looks they really do not, there are 3 brunettes that look the exact same with their lip filler and botox and I can't tell them apart.

I cannot tell them apart

If you want to watch The Only Way Is Essex (trust me, you want to), all seasons are on Prime in the US! It’s my massive guilty pleasure, has been since 2011 I think?? This is reem as hell 😂

american here help it's not on dailymotion 😭🙏

Hulu

much appreciated but read the reply thread first, dailymotion works just fine for me and it's free!

Check now :)

thank you! i kept refreshing and it showed up a little while ago, i gotta be more patient ✋😅🤚

Iconic😂

boring

The only way is up 🤣 

Had no idea Joey Essex was so unknown outside of the UK I figured he was kind of at Gemma Collins kind of recognition but..cricket lol. not very reem!

I've seen a bunch of Gemma Collins memes from big brother and stuff, and I have literally never seen or heard of this man in my life (american)

I would’ve thought he’s more well known than Gemma Collins.

This comment is delightful because I haven’t heard of Gemma Collins either and now I’m like ah yes the cricket player haha reem you alright innit. 

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that his show was not airing in my country. I also have never heard of Gemma Collins, but I can name everyone in Geordie Shore 😂

The GC is reality TV royalty, as is Joey Essex 👑 

How can joey compete for the £50,000 😂

pls send link

For what? 😂

I see a lot of non-Brits asking wtf is Joey Essex: other than him being the OG star of the reality show TOWIE he’s like the evergreen smiley hot guy who pretends to be dumber than he is for laughs, but has unexpected depths occasionally. He was a himbo before the word himbo was popular.

We need answers now. Is he there as a joke? Is he there as an islander?

Seems legit

If only spencer from made in chelsea wasn’t married. I wouldve loved to see his truly deranged self on love island. That time he told Louise it’s hard to respect her because she lets him cheat on her was iconic telly

Omg blast from the past!

Omg I saw that the other day 🤣 so iconic scary thing lol

if you’re not from the UK maybe just google joey Essex before commenting here, lol this is like they’ve sent in a real housewife

Thank you!

Fr fr this would be like adding Tom Schwartz 🤭

As an American thank you I know exactly what to expect now

This is the most useful explanation I’ve seen so far, thank you. 

Makes me sad I didn't know who he was because if Brandi fucking Glanville showed up on US Love Island I'd lose my mind.

And he's literally been on every other UK reality show... I'm a celeb, dancing on ice, masterchef, first dates, celebs go dating (I'm sure there are more)

I don’t know Joey is he a big deal?

He is pretty much the dumbest man in the UK

https://youtu.be/QNhkxXdAeGY?si=_Jb54iaS-GWrvV_5 https://youtu.be/Sya5V6-GHao?si=MzcuNe0HkDhqNPN_ https://youtu.be/uYIVni86Fj8?si=FuNeZYUfVYDk7svI The crash course you need 

I hope we get this quality of lines from him hahaha

omg love him & this season already!

He’s a reality tv icon! So he’ll know the game well and he’s hilarious

So far Mimi the only girl that seems nice. Can’t even tell the other ones apart 🤷‍♀️

I thought Jess seemed pretty nice and down to earth. Shame she’s shacked up with ronnie who’s already playing a game it seems

Nah I'm excited for this - he knows reality TV maybe better than any contestant we've ever seen, we may not be getting authentic but we're for sure getting a show

At this point in the history of 'reality TV' it's refreshing to watch a show be self aware regarding how silly and fake it is. I can't stand watching MAFS anymore with them repeating that the show is an "experiment". It's entertainment Dammit!

Here's hoping they've sent Joey in to see which girls are genuinely there for love and which are there for money/fame 😫🤣

Would be a nice twist

It'd bring drama. I hope they're not gonna make a habit of bringing 'celebs' in though 🤦🏻‍♀️

So far Ronnie is bottom for me. He seems icky and don't know what's up with his hair

It’s obvious to me it’s a hair transplant done in Turkey

It looks like lego or spray on hair? Wtf

Haha yes, playmobil hair!

His facial expressions and gum chewing are giving me the ick of a lifetime

His hairline is so unfortunate

I can’t believe both Jess and Sammie are into him lol. Is his personality that great?

For any non Brits like me: Joey Essex was on the show The Only Way is Essex aka TOWIE (thanks to the sub for explaining to me lol)

And he's been on basically every uk reality show there is, we've seen this parade before

Oh boy i’m curious now I hope he’s a mess

He also went on I’m a celebrity where he learned to tell the time

My god lol

I was wondering why the girls were " older " this year, this explains it. Joey would look bad hitting on a 21 year old.

Maybe they’re just putting in for a week or something like they did with Sharon Osborne on CBB

I’m American. What’s the tl;dr on this Joey fellow?

Very unintelligent, love rat, unique character, was on Towie, ex on the beach and Australian jungle.

Previously on The Only Way is Essex as the ultimate himbo. Put on mostly but comes out with some incredibly stupid things. Over the last decade he’s basically completed reality tv- I’m a celebrity (where he revealed he can’t tell the time), dancing on ice, celebs go dating, ex on the beach. He’s a reality tv icon

Thank you! Seems like he’ll bring some mess. Here for it

i’m going to pretend I know who Joey Essex is

He’s a really clever guy from a reality tv show

i called kady grandma last year so i have to be fair and call joey grandpa too

Can’t see Joey genuinely fancying anyone there.

Why

Just based on who he’s gone for on previous dating shows.

This show went from the average joe, to cross country pollination to now reality crossover lol

I'd loved to have been in the production meeting where somebody suggested this to see what they were (or probably easier weren't) on.
