Love Island Season 4 - 2022

Where did all the Primetimers who used to discuss Love Island USA go?

I watch every single episode but no one posts!

I really think that Phoebe is truly just a horrible person.  She has to be involved in every conversation and bring up the Isaiah/natural beauty comment with every single woman, including Sydney, multiple times.  She is so extremely nasty.  Why doesn't anyone call her out on this?  Besides Mackenzie.  And she tells Chad that drama just follows her.  What a lie!  She conjured up all that drama herself!

And Chad, wtf, Chad?  Chad?  I can't believe all these women go so crazy over this nothing guy.

I was shocked to discover that Courtney is so popular on social media.  The way she was with Chad was very hard to tolerate.  Her fake passive aggressive giggling over every sentence, oh my lord.  

[Phebemarie]

I'll keep the chat going...

At first, I thought Phoebe was fine, but it's hard to ignore that she always lets the girl in the couple know she kissed her guy right after it happened.   

Sometimes I think Zeta and Timmy are too good to be true.  I noticed both have backgrounds in psychology.  I wonder if the powers that be brought them in to be sounding boards for heart broken islanders.  

[Ms Blue Jay]

I remember liking Mack last season, but when she  started to lecture Isaiah and said that she and Sydney are natural  beauties, I was done.

I've been loving  Isaiah, but boy, he handled that situation  SO poorly.  They are practically  kids, though.

How old are Timmy and Zeta?  Everyone calls them Mom and Dad.

Zeta really annoyed me at the beginning with all of her tantrums, but I've  really liked her since (Chazz's sister Bria?)  left. 

Do you guys think Jesse and  Deb are faking or for real?

I like Jesse and Deb.  Her self-deprecating humor is refreshing, and I like that Jesse seems kind and supportive of the other couples.

I also like that the producers have stopped giving bonuses for F bombs...there seems to be fewer of them in recent episodes.  (I'm kidding about the bonuses part, of course).

My favorites are Jesse and Deb. They have relatively little drama and they seem to be so supportive of each other, whether it’s friendship or love, who cares really. 

I wish that Mack and them could have a recoupling before the next eviction. Would prefer to keep Joel and Mack and get rid of the bothersome two. And honestly, it doesn’t matter because none of them will make it to finals. That will be Nadjha/Jeff, Isaiah/Sydney, Deb/Jesse and Timmy/Zeta. 

Somebody on Twitter posted “before” pics of some of the girls. I didn’t recognize anybody (except I thought pre-updates was Courtney but it was Nadjha).

[DoYouLikeMutton]

I assume the bottom two couples will be Mackenzie & Chad and Joel & Phoebe.  How they will decide who will get dumped, I don't know.  Maybe the other couples get to save one boy and one girl?   I wouldn't mind seeing Isaiah & Sydney go, however.  Two full episodes of their boring drama is enough for me.

Per this article, they are both 29.

IIRC, they're both 29.

Jared & Kat and Tyler & Serenti have respectively been posting hanging out post-Villa. Someone told me Mady & Andy have too but I haven't seen anything firsthand. Supposedly Courtney mentioned in an interview that she & Bryce are DMing each other.

There was a picture of Andy & Mady at the airport together.

Mack coming here was way overhyped as something being so earth-shaking lol and it really ended up being a pile of nothing.  Oh well. 

[DoYouLikeMutton]

Another disappointing episode.  Predictable, but disappointing.  The only two people that might have had some genuine chemisty could possibly have been Mackenzie and Joel.  Of course, predicatably, those two were sent packing by their fellow islanders.  Perhaps Mackenzie would have stayed had the girls selected to save Joel, but the writing was on the wall when they decided to save Chad.  Twice this season, girls have self-eliminated prior to the boys revealing their decison of who they wanted to save, and it would have been nice to know who they would have picked.  But alas, it was not meant to be revealed to the viewers, I guess.   Maybe I am outgrowing this show, but this season was Dullsville USA.  I honestly don't see any chemisty, romance, love or even lust between anyone in the villa.  Hopefully, some of the islanders can make genuine connections on the outside, and I do wish them all the best of luck.  

[Ms Blue Jay]

So I guess I was wrong about Jesse.  It is Deb who is faking liking him, whereas maybe Jesse is really for real.  Deb just straight up doesn't like him but won't admit this so she makes up all these fake reasons to reject him.  I feel really bad for him.

When Joel was kicked off, didn't he say he's going to find some woman? I  couldn't understand the name he said.

Personally , I like this season.  I think I prefer this cast over last year's.  At some point I had to stop watching last season because it was getting unbearable.

[DoYouLikeMutton]

Joel said he was going to find Bella.  I agree, most of the cast members this season seem like nice people and are very likeable.

Even with the volume turned all the way up, I often have difficulty hearing what is being said.  I've found turning on the subtitles, a feature I just discoved a couple of episodes ago, to be very helpful.

[Ms Blue Jay]

The Finale is tomorrow already!  I'm pleasantly shocked, because I got through this entire season without once skipping episodes.  I DID skip all the challenges that involved eating or playdoh or whatever, obviously, those were so boring or disgusting. The dancing/stripping/Twitter challenges are all great, lol.  

And last episode, I did have to skip through some of the stuff with the families and the aftermath.

But it's crazy how I liked this season so much better than last season!

I loved watching Timmy be so fiercely loyal to Jesse against Jeff last episode.  Timmy's personality is really one of a kind, one of the best.

Nadja seems like a nice person I guess, though she does like Phoebe.  After Jeff said he slept with 300+ women, I knew he was going to be a complicated guy.  LOL.  There were flags before last episode.  Also, wasn't Jeff only trying to express loyalty towards Nadja by favouring Chad and Phoebe over Deb and Jesse?  And Nadja turned around and acted like he was being crazy.  He was probably confused after all that whiplash.

Jeff probably was confused and reverted to intimidation (attempted). But his f**k Nadjha comment was too much. Ironically, him doing all of that because he thought Jesse and Deb shouldn’t be in the finals just made it that they finish ahead of him!

I know Deb and Jesse have no change, so I hope that Timmy and Zeta win. Isaiah will dump Syd and they will have a back n forth relationship that is unhealthy. 

[Phebemarie]

Except for Timmy and Zeta, the final dates seemed a bit on the cheap side compared with the most recent Love Island UK.  I also found it interesting that the family visits were still done virtually.  Is the Peacock Network not willing to spend money to bring loved ones to California or were family members not willing to follow Covid protocols?  

Overall, this season was a bit of a disappointment.  More attention needs to go into vetting contestants.  I still wonder if Zeta and Timmy were placed in the villa due to their degrees in psychology.   They were always the ones to counsel heart broken islanders.

I was happy with the final result.  I could actually see the winning couple working on the outside.

Family visits have been done virtually for all 4 seasons of Love Island USA if my memory serves correctly.

Very much same.  Everything for the past few episodes has gone exactly how I would have wanted it to.  I kind of knew who was going to win for the past few weeks, but I'm happy it worked out all the same.

Surprised that nobody has said anything about the finale/upcoming reunion tonight.

I was honestly concerned that Isaiah and Sydney would be the winners, since they had the biggest storyline of the season.  But I was glad that the voters who thought that that relationship was possibly toxic and very definitely unequal outvoted those who thought it was just true love getting over obstacles.

Lots of drama on Twitter regarding Tigerlilly.  Some with Jeff, since Nadjha is back with him in the real world.

Hoping that whoever hosts the reunion actually asks the tough questions and not just softballs.

So cute seeing Sereniti and Tyler pics and tweets too.  Maybe those two crazy kids will make it work!

The two posts above yours are addressing the finale directly.

I'm going to blame Covid-itis brain at this point.  Thanks for pointing out what my addled brain wasn't saying.

[AEJ79]

New season starts tonight!

[yourdreamer]

I am a bit underwhelmed right now, but I am hopeful. 

[Dewey Decimate]

This show is punking us, right? Bergie? Really? They thought this guy would be attractive to any of these women? (Not that I blame them.) And if I'm being way harsh, Anna ain't much to look at either. (I feel kind of awful for being aesthetically judgmental, but I mean, isn't that what this show's essentially about?)

Victor had a little promise until he opened his mouth; not much of a personality so far. I feel like I need subtitles with some of these folks - for Victor it makes sense with the accent, but I also had trouble understanding Anna. (My gods, am I just getting too old to understand Millennials??)

I was really liking scientist Destiny at first, but bummed when she said something about her guy wearing a cross (as I think three of them were) shows that he puts God first. Hm, I'm thinking that God may be more around #73, if we're to believe his "body count". (Which seems like an awful term for that - I'm showing my age again, but back when I was a kid we just called it one's "number". The associations with "body count " make me cringe. Now let me go dig for a Werther's in my pocketbook.)

I still desperately miss announcer Matt. ☹️

[yourdreamer]

Is Matt still doing the "other" media stuff (last season, he did interviews with evicted Islanders, etc)? I saw that Maura will be doing something related to this show, but nothing about him.

Bergie reminds me of Nas from UK Season 6 or 7 - although Nas is cuter. He had issues through Casa Amor finding somebody.

I did all the polls on the Love Island app, and it looks like Anna is way at the bottom of the listing for basically everything. I like everything about Kay Kay except her name. It just sounds so twee.

Nothing is reeling me in with excitement, but I rarely get too excited until around episode 3-4.
