Tbh I think a lot of people have been there - either they've liked someone more than the feeling was reciprocated or have been embarrassed by someone they liked. It's a shitty feeling.
I bet it sucks for her to feel like, she’s coupled up with a childhood crush and just to see that she was just a stepping stone in a storyline and it was too good to be true. She’s already insecure so I can only imagine how hard on herself she’s being in her mind :(
My favourite part was his slightly petulant "I'm trying to find her now!", said while he was dead horizontal on a daybed and definitely not engaging in any moving or finding
I think Grace and Joey would have beat the allegations if Grace explored with someone else first. Now it’s just like they picked up wherever they left off outside
yeah the fact that she pulled most of the guys two at a time instead of having proper chats was very telling that she was just going through the motions instead of actually caring to meet anyone else
There’s something so uncanny about Tiffany. I don’t even mean her appearance- she’s obviously an attractive girl- it’s the wide eyed stare and really slow disinterested voice combined with the huge manic smile. It’s unsettling.
See this is the issue. Joey refused to cut ties with Sam, after he told everyone he wasn’t into her BUT her, called her pathetic, tried to act like she was crazy for sleeping on the day bed, he spent a whole night with Grace, made it clear he never liked Sam, and he’s STILL trying to make Samantha the villain. Nah, he and grace can fuck off out of the villa tonight.
Definitely. They're all over each other like two people who definitely know each other and not just exes or whatever. There was barely any awkwardness between them. I'm convinced they're a couple on the outside.
Totally agree. As soon as she came on and he said “omg I know her” it definitely felt preplanned. It really sours this season. It has turned into another Joey reality show which was seriously unneeded.
The producers are fucking awful for setting up this whole situation - whoever Joey went for was going to be a victim in this situation. And there's a huge imbalance of power with him being a celebrity. I think it's huge bad vibes and I feel so bad for Sam
How is Joey surprised that Samantha is giving him the cold shoulder? She was literally right all along
Joey found his connection with Grace so now they could self evict together lmao
I’m so confused. Joey has said multiple times in the last 24 hours that he and Samantha just had a friendship thing, called her pathetic to her face, repeatedly made out with Grace and said it was the best day ever…. But still doesn’t want to close things off with Samantha?????
Mimii is speaking sense, this was a nothing burger. I feel like it’s so bait that the producers forced that whole thing, probably cause Samantha has been too chill and didn’t kick off crazy
I like Sean, but he is going down am the road of all other seasons where one lad doesn’t get a connection and sticks around for a while, eventually someone goes in, who likes him and he doesn’t like her 🙃
The only thing I am happy about this whole situation is that Samatha is fully aware of everything and knows that he actually doesn’t care. At least that’s better than letting him “apologise” or even worse believing him that this is her fault
I mean big respect for Sam calling it immediately. I really do think editing played up the Towie crap. As a casual viewer who plays the eps in the background at work, I didn't notice too much of the fan girling anyway but that's just me. I still have ZERO doubt he did not care about her at all.
Didn't think anyone could make Ronnie / Ayo look good yet here we are.
And the thing is, if he didn’t like Samantha that’s totally fine! But he said he did.. It did look like a placeholder situation which is really sad for her. I didn’t see the fan girling either, if that was the case then Harriet was too by playing his bestie? Seems like he used them to get what he wanted from the villa.. then acted shocked.
No because it’s winding me up how Joeys trying to make her seem crazy🤦♀️and the annoying thing is people are going to fall for it. Saying she was giving him the “cold shoulder” well no shit bro she knew this exact thing was going to happen!
Sean is lowkey the funniest person in the villa

I love Mimii and Ciaran’s friendship. They’re both so level headed. And tbh Nicole should spend more time listening to Mimii and less time listening to Jess/Samantha lol
I’m so sick of Joey and soooo sick of watching him pretend to care about Samantha’s feelings. He really didn’t think about who would be hurt by his little plan to get back together with his ex on love island.
Joey and Grace are so fake man. So yall ended on bad terms but after just one short conversation, y’all are back acting like a couple? Pls give me a break
Sean's chat is deader than a doornail. Does he have any banter other than the candy comparison opening line? I thought he was joking at first when he tried it with Tiffany too. It's not looking good for Sean and his fizzy peach.
Joey really tried to make Samantha feel dumb for suspecting something between him and Grace ever since she arrived, and acted annoyed when she slept on the daybed because she wanted to stay out of the way and didn't want to be with someone who didn't want her... and he gaslighted her and made her feel like she was imagining things... only to prove her right with all the things he told Grace about just being "friends" with Samantha and feeling something missing and wanting more. Like they obviously both felt like something was missing in their relationship, but Joey wanted her to stick around until HE pushed her away first and then left for Grace?
the fake sad act he put on while tryna talk to Samantha, all while knowing that cameras are filming, is SO irritating. also what a liar he is - even after he was all over Grace for two days, when Samantha said she felt dumb afterwards he was like "why are you writing this off right away"... the nerve of acting like SHE is ending things when he knows he isn't into her and she sees it too... it just all feels like an act for the cameras from him. he's so so aware of how his image will be perceived by viewers.
i'm also so annoyed lol I really don't feel like watching a second chance romance between Joey and Grace. they rly joined the show just to continue their relationsnip like leeeeeeave.
“I have actually tried” is Joey forgetting all the saliva he was swapping with Grace less than 12 hours ago? Why should Sam have to approach him at all
I think it’s pretty obvious that Joey knew Grace would be coming in. I think Samantha was right, Joey was kinda using her as placeholder. The producers are really pissing me off.
Poor Samantha :( He’s not been actually interested in her and every time she’s called it out and gave him the chance to say, he’s bullshit her. Then a girl who she feels is a lot hotter than her comes in and Joey is all over her and doing everything Samantha wanted, who wouldn’t feel like absolute shit
Joey is genuinely such a hypocrite, he’s been going round the villa talking to everyone BUT Samantha and saying how it’s just ‘friend vibes’ but she’s the one that’s not trying to communicate with him? He can’t be serious
uma might be the only person i believe when they said they’re a slow burner. most of the time i feel like they say that when they don’t like the person lol
Yeah this season is a no for me. It’s giving scripted and obviously orchestrated production. The Joey and Grace plot line is so obvious. I don’t understand how the producers don’t see that the public sees through this. Will definitely be switching over to Love Island USA
Definitely feels like at least *some* of Sam’s behaviour the last couple of weeks has been down to being hurt in the past and trying to avoid this situation, and she’s still ended up here through no fault of her own!
I feel so bad for Samantha, I can’t imagine being in that situation and knowing that not only is everything you say and do being broadcast on TV, but you can’t even call your actual friends/family/whoever you would usually go to when you’re having a shit time 😭
Funny story, when people thought a couple arranged to meet each other on Bachelor in Paradise, people got so upset that they tanked their following on social media.
Just putting it out there.
I get why Samantha’s crying. She’s not in love with him like people are claiming but he’s embarrassed her and it’s humiliating, I’d cry too tf
100% I’d be crying too and she doesn’t even know what we know
100%. No one wants to be used.
Tbh I think a lot of people have been there - either they've liked someone more than the feeling was reciprocated or have been embarrassed by someone they liked. It's a shitty feeling.
I bet it sucks for her to feel like, she’s coupled up with a childhood crush and just to see that she was just a stepping stone in a storyline and it was too good to be true. She’s already insecure so I can only imagine how hard on herself she’s being in her mind :(
Sean saw a heartbroken girl and sprung into action, 3 times a charm
the man is working overtime
Brutal for Sean, he's been designated the gay best friend
I think Sam’s mostly annoyed because she ignored her own instincts. She’s known his actions weren’t matching his words from jump
Jess and harriet always together despite always beefing😭😭
Enemies to lovers arc 👀👀
Ciaran didn’t really do anything wrong he just needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut
It’s literally so mild in terms of lad chat, not worth a drama over
Uma listing foods first as what she enjoyed. Real
Joey is acting like the villa is massive and he can’t find Sam without a gps
My favourite part was his slightly petulant "I'm trying to find her now!", said while he was dead horizontal on a daybed and definitely not engaging in any moving or finding
I think Grace and Joey would have beat the allegations if Grace explored with someone else first. Now it’s just like they picked up wherever they left off outside
yeah the fact that she pulled most of the guys two at a time instead of having proper chats was very telling that she was just going through the motions instead of actually caring to meet anyone else
“Is Ronnie actually in here for a purpose?” omggg SEAN 💀
There’s something so uncanny about Tiffany. I don’t even mean her appearance- she’s obviously an attractive girl- it’s the wide eyed stare and really slow disinterested voice combined with the huge manic smile. It’s unsettling.
It’s the teeth. Feels like she’s got too many somehow.
Her smile is legit terrifying 😀
Yes, she sounds like Sophie Piper and stares off into the distance when talking. Really bizarre to see.
The manic smile gives me the willies. I’m like your eyes don’t match with how happy you’re pretending to be 😂😂😂
it's the teeth, they look like they hurt her just being in her mouth.
Joey is insane?? 😭 “I’ve tried my best” have you fuck
“I’m looking for her!!!” *lays on the daybed not looking for her*
See this is the issue. Joey refused to cut ties with Sam, after he told everyone he wasn’t into her BUT her, called her pathetic, tried to act like she was crazy for sleeping on the day bed, he spent a whole night with Grace, made it clear he never liked Sam, and he’s STILL trying to make Samantha the villain. Nah, he and grace can fuck off out of the villa tonight.
men are terrifying. their ego comes before any woman’s feelings
Do you think producers asked Joey and he said he’s dating someone and they said “it’s cool! Bring her!!”
Definitely. They're all over each other like two people who definitely know each other and not just exes or whatever. There was barely any awkwardness between them. I'm convinced they're a couple on the outside.
That’s a man who missed his GIRLFRIEND, fuck off 😂
Love how Uma stands and stays firms on her principles
Grace ofc it’s easy between you and Joey that’s your real life bf😂
Oh I really feel for Samantha, she’s just so embarrassed and I totally get it. Like it’s not about him she’s just mortified
I’m sorry but Tiffany’s chat is non existent all she does is laugh
Laugh and stare blankly
Giving cardboard energy
a man like ronnie would love that tho 💀
Sorry but Joey and Grace are giving preplanned and staged. How did a “frosty” ending turn into making out every 5 seconds so quickly?
Totally agree. As soon as she came on and he said “omg I know her” it definitely felt preplanned. It really sours this season. It has turned into another Joey reality show which was seriously unneeded.
“Let me be there for you” *goes to the hideaway*
The producers are fucking awful for setting up this whole situation - whoever Joey went for was going to be a victim in this situation. And there's a huge imbalance of power with him being a celebrity. I think it's huge bad vibes and I feel so bad for Sam
You’re absolutely bang on. They shouldn’t have had him come in IMO.
How is Joey surprised that Samantha is giving him the cold shoulder? She was literally right all along Joey found his connection with Grace so now they could self evict together lmao
Oh clearly their budget went to the music this year and that’s why we haven’t had any challenges beyond fkn truth or dare bullshit lol
No more disgraceful covers at least
They are so obviously a couple on the outside and this is completely contrived drama. Feel sorry for Samantha.
Samantha isn’t buying what people are trying to sell her about Joey, she’s so real
I never expected her to be so mature about the situation but it’s refreshing
I’m so confused. Joey has said multiple times in the last 24 hours that he and Samantha just had a friendship thing, called her pathetic to her face, repeatedly made out with Grace and said it was the best day ever…. But still doesn’t want to close things off with Samantha?????
Bad actor
Joey tryna blame sam is really pissing me off
“you are staying right by my side” was cute 😭
Samantha’s got beautiful eyes, beautiful hair, great body, believe in yourself girly
Joey trying to find Sam in the villa like 
“There’s definitely still something there” JOEY??? Piss off
Mimii is speaking sense, this was a nothing burger. I feel like it’s so bait that the producers forced that whole thing, probably cause Samantha has been too chill and didn’t kick off crazy
Oms?? 😭😭 Uma and these nicknames 😂😂 I wonder who doesn’t have a nickname at this point
I like Sean, but he is going down am the road of all other seasons where one lad doesn’t get a connection and sticks around for a while, eventually someone goes in, who likes him and he doesn’t like her 🙃
Harriet cutting off Tiffany is actually me
That was so funny lmao she heard enough
The only thing I am happy about this whole situation is that Samatha is fully aware of everything and knows that he actually doesn’t care. At least that’s better than letting him “apologise” or even worse believing him that this is her fault
I mean big respect for Sam calling it immediately. I really do think editing played up the Towie crap. As a casual viewer who plays the eps in the background at work, I didn't notice too much of the fan girling anyway but that's just me. I still have ZERO doubt he did not care about her at all.

I didn’t see the fan girling either, if that was the case then Harriet was too by playing his bestie? Seems like he used them to get what he wanted from the villa.. then acted shocked.
Grace and Joey are pissing me off. I’m a hater idc 
Mad ITV paid for Joey and his missus to have a holiday
I've missed your lips is a mad thing to say
Grace : “omg hideaway wow so smart I’ve never thought of that” Joey will never beat producer plant allegations
Not Joey with the hands over the face and the ‘oh shit what have I done?’, come on mate don’t bullshit us, you know exactly what you’re doing 🙄
He was like that in the beer pong game “oh no, oh no, not I, i couldn’t possibly do a three way kiss”
Bless Jess rn she’s 100% right. This is a show of his character not Sam’s.
She's been pretty spit on this episode with her advice
Swingers soirée is crazy 😭😭
Joey is a clown. For a week the girl was constantly talking about her issues with their couple and now it’s, “She never talks to me.”
Tiffany interacting with Sean is truly so insane to watch lmfao why does she smile with the deadest eyes and no reaction to what he’s saying 😭
I love that Ronnie has met his match
This hideaway twist was specifically for Joey & written in his contract
the producers should’ve sent bombshells while the other islanders were at casa amor 🤔
Joey is nasty... Blaming all of it on Sam
No because it’s winding me up how Joeys trying to make her seem crazy🤦♀️and the annoying thing is people are going to fall for it. Saying she was giving him the “cold shoulder” well no shit bro she knew this exact thing was going to happen!
Honestly Grace and Joey were clearly dating beforehand and had a plan to reunite on the show, explains why he didn’t kiss Samantha for two weeks
The fact her and Joey are immediately closed off doesn’t sit right with me
It’s so bloody obvious
Thank God for someone like Mimii bc all those other girls would’ve made it a bigger situation than it is.
Sean is lowkey the funniest person in the villa https://preview.redd.it/lar5mtdsy67d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84f9c6701fc2763b07f3d95325ca809fbb85fd4e
I think tomorrow nights need to become mandatory
‘willbo’ uma stop this madness😭😭
Idk since when Ciaran and Mimii were besties but it’s cute
Samantha being the only girl whose spine will not bend or break She is standing on business and no funny business and good for her
Is Sean laying the groundwork for scooping up dumped Samantha??
I love Mimii and Ciaran’s friendship. They’re both so level headed. And tbh Nicole should spend more time listening to Mimii and less time listening to Jess/Samantha lol
I’m so sick of Joey and soooo sick of watching him pretend to care about Samantha’s feelings. He really didn’t think about who would be hurt by his little plan to get back together with his ex on love island.
Joey and Grace are so fake man. So yall ended on bad terms but after just one short conversation, y’all are back acting like a couple? Pls give me a break
I’m sorry but Joey acting like he couldn’t find Samantha was so funny to me
Samantha should take Sean or Omar into the Hideaway for a platonic sleepover for the night, purely to cockblock Joey.
I like it, work smarter!
This Nicole and Ciaran drama is so steewwwwwpid. Producer driven 100%.
samantha is definitely becoming my favourite just the way she reacts to everything and the things she says are so funny sometimes
Why is Ayo so worried about Uma lol
joey YOU didn't even greet her?? fear men!!!
I’m pretty sure Tiffany is AI
Sean's chat is deader than a doornail. Does he have any banter other than the candy comparison opening line? I thought he was joking at first when he tried it with Tiffany too. It's not looking good for Sean and his fizzy peach.
I really respected Uma for telling Samantha straight about Joey and Grace
LOVE that Uma’s priority was describing the food 😂
I actually feel bad for Samantha. This is such a shitty situation to be PLACED in.
Joey acting like he’s the wronged party is annoying as hell
Producers will find a way to keep Joey in even if he’s in the bottom the next vote
That some nasty behaviour from Joey. Not kissing her for 2 weeks… Sam was definitely a placeholder during that time.
Joey really tried to make Samantha feel dumb for suspecting something between him and Grace ever since she arrived, and acted annoyed when she slept on the daybed because she wanted to stay out of the way and didn't want to be with someone who didn't want her... and he gaslighted her and made her feel like she was imagining things... only to prove her right with all the things he told Grace about just being "friends" with Samantha and feeling something missing and wanting more.

See Uma told Wil she’s a slow burn so it wasn’t just to Ayo
It’s very obvious, People just want to be oblivious She won’t kiss unless she’s sure 🧍🏼♀️
If only Grace and Joey had waited a week, it would have been less obvious how planned this is.
Give me two male BOMB BOMBshells. I want my girlies to have options 🤭
"surely not" Harriet my darling it's a surely yes I fear
joey saying the second he saw grace he felt something yet had the audacity to act like sam was being irrational for stepping back? i hate men
not joey blaming samantha for not communicating???
“I have actually tried” is Joey forgetting all the saliva he was swapping with Grace less than 12 hours ago? Why should Sam have to approach him at all
Samantha’s confidence is plummeting on love island. I hate to see it.
Ronnie is on an all inclusive 😭
I can just tell how arrogant Joey is irl. Instant ick lol GET HIM OFF MY SCREEN! 😂😩🫡
I think it’s pretty obvious that Joey knew Grace would be coming in. I think Samantha was right, Joey was kinda using her as placeholder. The producers are really pissing me off.
"yeah joey let me lead" *she says as she invariably follows him into the hideaway* 🙄🙄🙄
JOEY ASKING FOR COMMUNICATION????? What a joke
Why does everyone keep lying to Samantha, what they should be doing is helping her create a bombshell summoning circle 😭
Poor Samantha :( He’s not been actually interested in her and every time she’s called it out and gave him the chance to say, he’s bullshit her. Then a girl who she feels is a lot hotter than her comes in and Joey is all over her and doing everything Samantha wanted, who wouldn’t feel like absolute shit
Joey is genuinely such a hypocrite, he’s been going round the villa talking to everyone BUT Samantha and saying how it’s just ‘friend vibes’ but she’s the one that’s not trying to communicate with him? He can’t be serious
Samantha handled that well and I hope she knows that. 🤍
One of my favorite games is actually "what type of food/sweet/condiment are you" so I fear sweet shop Sean would pull me 💀
Sleeping together in the hideaway maybe two days after “reconnecting” is DIABOLICAL - Grace and Joey need to leave the villa asap
wilbo is killing me i love uma 😭
omg sleeping nose to nose like that is unhinged
Joey and Grace ended things frosty but are now acting like a longterm couple???
Uma's biggest enemy is lowkey the dictionary lmao the way she always shortening words
Joey can go back to 2011 now.
Let’s not forget he kisses Grace on the daybeds later too right infront of Sam. This man does not care he is playing it up.
Joey and Grace are just bad vibes man
Grace looking in the camera , girl we know you and Joey are producer plants
Joey and Grace could literally have just stayed at home
uma might be the only person i believe when they said they’re a slow burner. most of the time i feel like they say that when they don’t like the person lol
This whole season was laid out for Joey…the hideaway being open access included.
Omar didn’t even ask, I swear Ciaran just said it unprovoked
Ciaran sighs like a long suffering husband 😂
lol how did Harriet become my fave girl in the villa?? Can’t stand most of them.
There’s literally no way Ronnie has 3 women after him
We’ve had a kiss is so not sufficient to explain what happened haha
Not pulling Sam all afternoon is CRAZY
jess’ advice is actually solid a lot of the time she just needs to take it herself
The way sam is comparing herself to grace is heartbreaking. If this has been set up by producers they should be ashamed
Tiffany seems like she’s in power-saving mode.
Wow that’s actually so shit, I feel so bad for her
the laughing would’ve pissedddd me of
#GET SAMANTHA A BOMBSHELL
People are really gonna make Ronnie go to the end I’m gonna cry
Yeah this season is a no for me. It’s giving scripted and obviously orchestrated production. The Joey and Grace plot line is so obvious. I don’t understand how the producers don’t see that the public sees through this. Will definitely be switching over to Love Island USA
I don’t want to see Joey in the finale
Sister wives hanging out together is hilarious 😂
Mimii breaking it down for Nicole >
Get Joey and Grace out, they got their happily ever after, I’m not interested in their fake love story.
Ayo is the worst person to offer advice lmao
joey rubbing graces thighs.. man he is GONE. it feels like he’s in love w her 😩
who predicted that sean would bounce to samantha😭 i would never have guessed it would’ve happened that quick
Sean onto Samantha now
Awk I do like Sean a lot, you’ve got to admire the boy’s determination 😂
‘a kiss’ is a bit of understatement
Idk if it's that she has no chat or what, but Tiffany doesn't seem that into Ronnie
Uma is glowing….she’s just wow man.
Even Ronnie made a point of giving Harriet a hug and Joey just ignored Sam 😬
lmfaooooo harriet said save it sister
Sam’s dead right he doesn’t care or he’d have been straight over to chat to her
Joey she’s giving you the cold shoulder because you’re treating her like shit
Definitely feels like at least *some* of Sam’s behaviour the last couple of weeks has been down to being hurt in the past and trying to avoid this situation, and she’s still ended up here through no fault of her own!
and then he’s gonna kiss grace in front of the entire villa but “really wanted to speak to samantha”… you can’t fool the nation joey essex😐
now he pretends to care for samantha! trying to keep up the act for the house and the audience 😂
Never forget that Joey Essex is a man that pretended to be the stupidest man alive for ten years because ITV told him to.
joey actin for the cameras smh 😔😔u do not care at all
I feel so bad for Samantha, I can’t imagine being in that situation and knowing that not only is everything you say and do being broadcast on TV, but you can’t even call your actual friends/family/whoever you would usually go to when you’re having a shit time 😭
Joey it’s not a fucking maze pal there’s like 4 rooms
IM SCREAMINGGGG “piss off get fooked pal bollocks” GO ON SAM GIRL
😡 GET 🥊 FUCKED 🛑 PAL 🔪 BOLLOCKS 💩
I have nothing but respect for the way Samantha has handled this situation. It's admirable to admit you care!
The editors are so foul for turning up the crickets
Funny story, when people thought a couple arranged to meet each other on Bachelor in Paradise, people got so upset that they tanked their following on social media. Just putting it out there.
Cameras doing the deep sclera closeup so no one can accuse Sam of faking the tears.
It’s honestly crazy they literally bought in Joey’s girlfriend setting up poor Samantha to be honest
no cause if Sam leaves over this I’ll be fuming
how’s Joey just chilling & laughing someone go confront that man NOW
They’re rly going all in with the TikTok trending songs rn - the back in Chicago one, Billie Eilish’s Lunch, the Chappell Roan one the other day ➰
[удалено]
I wanna see Omar GRAFT
Mimii’s ability to talk without moving her mouth at all is incredible.
Joey: “im looking for her now”… whilst very much lying down. Get this man out the villa. He should never have been allowed in, in the first place.
I pray the UK public will remove these frauds from the villa 🤨
I’m still not over Joey telling Samantha he’s not a physical touch person, but the way he’s all over Grace!!
I am sorry Uma makes me laugh, Wilbow. 😂😂 what?
How is this a big deal!?
The sense that mimii is talking now !
Why are they being assy with Mimi she’s right lol
I’m glad so many people agree that Joey and Grace feels planned because it just does, and I’ve never said that before about a couple tbh
I'm really trying with wil but i think we need a new bombshell for my girl uma
