and? that still doesn’t change the fact that chelley and ace along with others started the cycle of voting out the strongest couples. i think chelley and ace are cute together, but i did not feel bad for them when they got voted off. it was just karma atp tbh. and then for chelley to say that america missed the point, when she did too, is so hypocritical lmao. the cognitive dissonance is crazy 🤷🏽♀️
There’s no and. You’re making it seem like they had this evil plan when they came to the same conclusion America did. At the end of the day if the islanders voted or not, Jeremiah and Hannah were still the ones that had the least votes and would’ve went home. It’s not fair to blame them for something that was going to happen with or without them. We also got to see that it wasn’t only them in the decision making process so why should they get the most hate for those decisions?
i said “chelley and ace along with others” and “her and ace were part of the reason why other couples got voted out” on purpose to show that they didn’t make those decisions alone… i already acknowledged that twice now. also, the way ace was the most passionate out of all the guys to send jeremiah home was very weird, which is why i said her and ace getting sent home is karma. bro was way too obsessed with jeremiah, and that’s when america started to turn on him.
my irritation is when they pulled the full clip discussing why they sent hannah home and they all essentially agreed that hannah locked in too soon and didn’t commit to the process. but then in the same breath, chelley thinks america missed the whole point of love island, which is to find love? i just don’t think chelley gives a fuck about the whole point of love island until it start affecting her own relationships. and that’s why i’m saying she’s hypocritical.
so basically you’re saying that if you find a person you like, you have to just go explore everyone else in the villa in order to truly commit to the love island process? fuck the person you actually like, right? just go mindlessly explore everyone else you actually don’t see a connection with for the sake of it and then come back to your person at the end? that’s the point of the show? that’s what love is? if that’s the case, you missed the plot as well 😭
Love island is about exploring and finding your strongest connection. You can’t explore connections if you’re locked in with someone without even testing your relationship. Hannah thought her relationship with Charlie was solid but then Pepe came in and turned her head and when Charlie left and she was sad for a little she then formed a strong connection with Pepe and was ready to get with him outside of the villa. So yes it’s about exploring different connections bc you never really know.
if that’s the case, then who was taylor exploring before casa amor happened? bro had zero other connections outside of olandria. one might say he was too locked in and didn’t truly commit to the love island process of testing other connections. so according to that logic, he should’ve been sent home from the beginning instead of charlie.
Technically he did express interest in Cierra when she first got there but that never took off and all the girls that came into the villa were not interested in him until casa. But you’re still valid for saying Taylor and Charlie’s were kinda in the same boat with the exploring thing but Taylor always had an open to exploring mindset where as Charlie was popped and panicked about losing Hannah as if she was the only girl for him.
if you already have something good going with someone, what is the purpose of mindlessly testing your connection? if you’re confident and satisfied with what you have, why go explore other people for the sake of it? where is the love in that? that makes literally zero sense. if you’re here to find love and you think you found it, why are you penalized for not mindlessly exploring everyone?
Because you never know what’s out there and you should at the very least have a conversation to see if it could be something. I’m not saying just forget about your strong connection, I’m saying have conversations with other people and be open to other people because you never know if there’s someone better for you there. And again Hannah did that and she technically found a stronger connection with Pepe than she did Charlie and I say that because when she got kicked out she still wanted Pepe
Ace was actually okay with exploring Amaya until she basically called him a player for having boundaries and shit went downhill from there. And before they even coupled up Ace and Amaya had good conversations. I don’t think it would’ve worked out ultimately but they still take things from each other and can apply it to other relationships/ connections
there’s always going to be someone better. the fact that you feel the need to explore other connections in order to test your relationship just reveals how little faith you have in your connection to begin with. and this is why one of my biggest critiques of this show is that they advertise it as finding love, but they’re actually just promoting the allusion of options. there’s always going to be someone better. but at what point are you going to be satisfied with what you have?
when is your partner ever going to be good enough for you? you can even see ace struggle with this when he wanted to be exclusive with chelley in the beginning but she was still trying to hold on to her connection with chris. he literally said in a confessional that he feels like he might not be good enough for her.
like how does this type of logic apply to the real world? are you just gonna go explore every single person you meet on the street bc they could potentially be better than your current partner? that shit is not love and they’re developing some really unhealthy habits now that would destroy their relationship if it translated into the real world
It actually doesn’t. If you go out and explore different people it can show how special your person is because they can give you something that no one else can. Exploring isn’t about jumping shit and saying fuck you, it’s about just seeing what’s out there and if someone fits you more.
I think you know when your partner is someone worth sticking with. People can offer you different things but ultimately you know who is best for you and that’s why they can always make a decision on who they want at the end of the day. And that logic isnt supposed to apply to the real world because it has never been socially acceptable to do things like they do in love island so that’s a pointless argument.
you have to go explore other people in order to see how special your partner is? you gotta explore other connections in order to finally see their worth? yeah nahhh, that’s some twisted ass logic. the fact that you can’t recognize that beforehand already shows that you don’t really value that person as much as you claim to.
You’re talking about it as if it’s the real world and it’s a game show designed for people to explore and find love. But anyways the way I’m looking at it is from the Kaylor/ Aaron (specifically focusing on Aaron before it got messy and if he was more respectful) and Chelley/Ace dynamics where they all had the chance to explore other people in the villa and found some pretty cool people but ultimately decided that their actual partners were it for them.
I think they felt even more satisfied in their relationship because they know that the person they have is for them and that they don’t have to wonder about the possibility of something better being out there because they’ve spoken to all those different people and got to see what’s out there. I think they know their partners are great but there’s always an unknown of whether or not there’s something better out there because people surprise you.
season 7 is the only season i’ve watched, so idk who kaylor and aaron are. regardless tho, tj explored multiple people, got kicked off. hannah explored multiple people, got kicked off. and chelley and ace were part of the reason for that happening, so for chelley to come here and act like america lost the plot is so wild and hypocritical
Because the show is for entertainment purposes so the rules they create in the show won’t translate well outside. Theres a lot of socially unacceptable things that happen in the show but we ignore it because they’re challenges and just for fun. However if you use those as excuses in today’s society it wouldn’t pan out like it did in the show.
TJ being voted off was a clusterfuck with the amount of people up for elimination like there was about 6 other people so that was messy all around so not the best example. Hannah was voted off early as heck in the season so comparing that to Chelley and Ace who have explored other people and found their way back to each other is different. They did love island the way it should be done.
