What’s the Craic?

This episode may be the most unhinged yet, in our humble opinion, and we're finally seeing who's playing the game! Between the aftermath of Haris and Shaq and Olivia and Zara there's already so much to unpack! Like, what's going on with the love triangle between Tanya, Shaq, and David?  The recoupling had Christina and Brenna on the edges of their seats and the only happy moment this episode was Ron and Lana finally having a kiss because he was "clucking for one!" *swoon* 

It's like the wild, wild west out here baby, so buckle up! Zara is single handedly shaking up the villa and turning heads while David seemingly has eyes for one girl and one girl only. Our daddy of the season, Ron, seems to be confused and wanting to put a couple eggs in multiple baskets, but can we really blame him for playing the game? After all, dating is just asking yourself, "what are the most important boxes for me to be checked off by a partner?" The beer pong game wreaks havoc amongst our islanders and Christina and Brenna deep dive into all the drama.

It's the third episode of the series, and things are far from being settled in the villa. With two new bombshells entering, the possibility of heads turning is higher than ever. Quick debrief, Tanya and Shaq kiss finally (yay), Olivia is more physically attracted to Haris (weird), and Will is the islander we never knew we needed on this show. There's just something about a quiet confidence. Tanya and Ron go on dates with our new islanders David and Zara and we have A LOT of thoughts, some of them being: cheaper products are easier to get your hands on; if there's one thing we're gonna do, it's be upfront about our feelings; and to quote Tanyel, "if you don't rate yourself, how can you keep a man on his toes?" 

It's the second episode of our favorite series and things are already spicing up. Starting off strong with a truth or dare game, we are given some *chef's kiss* moments like Will licking Olivia's entire foot and Lana splitting her skirt while giving a lap dance. We watch Tom chat up all the girls and then inevitably make his decision on who to couple up with leaving one islander single and vulnerable. And don't worry, Christina and Brenna get into that Dirty Laundry game as well, where the islanders' secrets are spilled. Would you tell someone you're joining the army just to stop seeing them? 

We're back baby! And here at What's the Craic we have decided to completely skip over last season and take our time with this one because we are INTO it. It's the second winter season of Love Island and we're in South Africa with a brand new villa, host, and cast. In this episode Brenna and Christina deep dive into the new islanders, share their predications for what they thought the first coupling up would be, and ask the important question: do the British know what Bratz dolls are? And are you a chili pepper girl or a spicy margarita gal? 

AND...we're back...yet again! But this time, with a vengeance. It's the longest episode of What's the Craic yet, but potentially the juiciest. A new boy enters the villa and causes some havoc for one girl in particular. We're convinced Davide and Ekin-Su may have been made for one another after that game of Never Have I Ever, but some of us aren't too convinced about Dami and Amber. Also, does Ikenna need to step his game up when it comes to Indiyah? Brenna and Christina get into it - relating all that's happening on the island to their own lives. 

So much has happened in such a small amount of time. Some of us at What's the Craic started this season not on Team Andrew, but after this episode could it be, Give-Me-An-Andrew-2022? Tasha and Andrew seem to be headed in the right direction, while Luca seems to be planting all of his seeds to see where his garden will grow. We see our first islander leave the villa as well as the first official recoupling for the season. Don't worry, Christina and Brenna talk about it all in this episode, so stick around!

We're four episodes into this season and it's all a mess we can't wait to watch unfold. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the words Davide uses to try to describe Gemma and the different words men have used to describe them in the past. Luca's behavior is interesting, Tasha seems to be self-sabotaging, and Ekin-Su is on a mission to shake things up, arguably more so than any other islander in Love Island history. 

Things are starting to heat up as we see our first bombshell of the season steal an islander and leaving another one single in the process. In this episode, Christina and Brenna talk about how different this group of islanders behave in comparison to other seasons...it seems the boys (surprisingly) are more closed off than the girls and honestly, we're here for this group of empowered women. There's a big discussion on who is the snake in the grass, the importance of being funny, and our very first date in the villa! We're only left with thinking one thing though: we want more Indiyah on our screens! 

As always, the beginning of the series is a slow burner, but that doesn't stop the craic from flowing. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the potential love triangle with Luca at the forefront; the Italian stallion and who he decided to couple up with; what the islanders had to declare to one another in the first challenge of the series; and of course, all the tangents and antidotes that Brenna and Christina have to offer.
