#LOVE ISLAND LINGO SERIES#
Not exclusive to series 4, the term ‘grafting’ has been a ‘Love Island’ staple for the past few years and is used to refer to someone who is trying hard to impress the person they’re interested in. If someone is going ‘full on factor 50’ it doesn’t mean they’re being careful in the sun, but in fact coming on a bit too strong to the person they like.įactor 50 was jokingly used in season four of the show to highlight that certain contestants should probably play things a little cooler. PiedĪt the beginning of the series Anton was no stranger to ‘being pied’ or effectively being ditched or dumped. This year contestant Joanna called Michael a snake when he didn’t leave the villa with her.
#LOVE ISLAND LINGO CRACK#
In the villa, someone is a ‘snake’ if they try and crack on (explanation to come) with a coupled up Islander. So much so that a new drinking game was created whereby a person would drink a shot every time one of the Islanders says ‘it is what it is.’ Love Island were quick to issue a warning on Twitter, saying they “wouldn’t recommend it.” Snake READ MORE: Caroline Flack's Love Island wardrobe and where to buy her outfits Basically it means acting soft/pathetically over a girl, or boy, but in an over the top rather than sweet way.Īs in: "You're acting like a total melt." We’ve all acted like a melt at some point, we just didn’t realise that’s what it was called. “A bev is a hot guy, if he’s your boyfriend he’s your bev, but if he’s not your boyfriend he’s a bev,” she explained. Lucie Donlan, the 21-year-old surfer chick from Newquay explained in episode one that the term bev is used to describe an attractive man. So, if you didn’t watch or have been watching wondering what the hell they’ve all been going on about for the past two months, here’s our guide to this year’s ‘Love Island’ lingo.īecause factor 50 has nothing to do with suncream and a melt isn’t a type of grilled sandwich. Yep the lexicon of ‘Love Island’ is quite the thing, but for many of us mere mortals it’s not always that easy to decipher. While we can now all go back to living our own lives, rather than living vicariously through the Islanders, there’s one bit of the show that’s set to stick around for a little longer than Anton’s bum hair. How do you solve a problem like Hugo Hammond? I’m still undecided, but that might just have bought him another week in the villa.'Hands up who's getting the fanny flutters?'

#LOVE ISLAND LINGO TV#
His intentions are clearly dodge – I suspect he thinks this is the moment in the romcom when his leading lady realises it’s him she’s liked all along – but it was, unfortunately, TV gold.

His days felt numbered, but that speech might have redeemed him in my eyes. Flirting is currency, and he’s not been flirting with anyone. But, counterpoint: Hugo is on a show called Love Island. It’s true that you can’t fake connection, and that you can sense when things aren’t going to work out. For as much as he loves to whine about not being fancied, he made little to no effort with AJ or Georgia (both of whom said they fancied him from the outset).

You could tell this because he literally said “I’m so genuine”, but it was also in the casual, comfortable intimacy of him untangling her earrings, or the surprising tenderness of their first kiss on the balcony. It’s fair to say that any newcomer who makes a beeline for the show’s most popular contestant should be treated with some scepticism, but something about the way Tyler acts around Kaz feels genuine. It finally arrived on Thursday, as her relationship with Tyler blossomed while Toby and Chloe’s collapsed. In the words of Gordon Ramsay, there was finally some good f***ing food.Įver since Toby and Chloe snaked Kaz, viewers have been waiting for vindication on her behalf. But our suffering was rewarded with Thursday night’s episode, which will go down in the history books as one of the most explosive in Love Island history. With minimal drama and a cast who didn’t seem to like each other that much, it felt like I was watching for the sake of watching, too ashamed to accept that the many, many hours I’d put in probably weren’t worth it. As a Love Island super-fan, I’ve been loathe to admit just how dry this year’s series has been.
